Children’s TV shows - What did you watch?

We only had a TV sporadically. As a result, I never have watched much TV, including now when I have 500 channels.
I watched Captain Kangaroo
Sky King
Rawhide
And at some point Bonanza and later the Jefferson’s after the 10pm news.

Rawhide theme song
Who could forget that?

Finally, someone mentioned the Gargoyles!

Who is this?

I think I posted about this one before. But not in this thread. So why not. Floris. A medieval Dutch count/knight, sort of an answer to Ivanhoe. With Rutger Hauer as Floris and Paul Verhoeven directing. Just one season made in 1969 but it reran for years after.

OMG! I was obsessed with those books in 5th grade and was so psyched when they turned it into a show! I had a VHS full of episodes I taped off tv :smiley:

I almost forgot about Tales from the Crypt! I don’t remember if that was actually a kids show tho :thinking: Either way, I watched it :laughing:

Ha ha The good old days. This thread definitely creates a nostalgic feeling. I only remembered a couple shows but I had to look others up earlier. I might have possibly read a couple goosebumps books but definitely remember the show. Tales from the crypt sounds familiar. Some of these 90s shows or early 2000s cartoons if you read between the lines it’s kind of crazy how they got away with some of that stuff. I was very young in the 90s but the shows and especially grunge music on MTV had a huge impact on me. I lived in Pennsylvania back then and I just wanted to be in the basement in the air conditioning watching Nickelodeon or MTV.

I lived right above you. We never had cable growing up, but we lived close enough to Canada that our antennas picked up their stations so I watched alot of Canadian tv. Which just reminded me of Pingu! Anyone?!

My grandmother had cable, so that’s where I got my nickelodeon fix(and MTV too, when they still played music).
