Hello!
WordPress shares daily writing prompts, and they often catch my attention.
A few weeks ago, the prompt was “What TV shows did you watch as a kid?”
When I saw this prompt, literally the flood gates of my childhood opened up immediately.
Here are a few tv shows I remember watching through the years…
Most mornings when we would get ready for school, The Mickey Mouse Club and Kids, Inc. were on the Disney Channel.
TGIF Friday nights on ABC included Full House and Family Matters. I also loved Growing Pains and The Hogan Family. I don’t remember if they were on Friday nights or not.
I have fond memories of Saturday mornings watching Saved by the Bell and California Dreams.
My first crushes were definitely Kirk Cameron, Jason Bateman, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar.
Other shows I remember watching include: Alf, Hey Dude, Kate & Allie, and Clarissa Explains it All.
Late middle school into high school, like most teens in America, I watched Party of Five, 90210, and Melrose Place. I guess I watched those shows into my college years.
I’m not sure when I started watching Golden Girls, but they are still my favorite to this day. Designing Women is another top tier show for me. I still watch those reruns on Hulu too.
I even remember watching reruns of I Love Lucy, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and the Dick Van Dyke show and loving those shows. I think I’m an “old soul” when it comes to my tv shows.
A show I’d forgotten about but rediscovered this summer is 227. As soon as I heard the opening song, I remembered every word. I loved watching some of those episodes on Hulu this summer.
I sent my brother a text asking him what shows he remembers from our childhood, and he said, “Where do I begin?” haha
My brother is three years younger than me, and he remembers the most random things from when we were younger. I wondered if we’d have any of the same favorite shows, and the two he said that I said as well were Hey Dude and Clarissa.
He also said: Salute Your Shorts, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Muppet Babies, Dark Wing Duck and Duck Tales.
I just knew he’d say Duck Tales.
Anyway, this was a fun stroll down memory lane.
What about you… What are some tv shows you remember watching from your childhood?
