I'm not THAT old, but New Zealand didn't have television until late in the day, so we got cheap, years-old US kids' shows. I was ten before our region got TV and it was a few years after that when we got our own set. The first TV I ever watched was coverage of what must have been one of the early Saturn rocket launches. We went to my older sister's boyfriend's house to watch it. Very exciting!
I liked Lone Ranger best. "Hi ho Silver, and awaaaay!"

For me personally
- The Simpsons: From seeing Season 2 episodes someone had recorded from Sky TV on VHS before it was on terrestrial TV, through to Season 9 when it stopped being good many years later. It was on all the time and we never got bored of it.
- Red Dwarf: The first TV show I was allowed to stay up “late” for, when it broadcast at 9pm. Felt like I’d entered a new stage in my life watching a late-night comedy show.
- The X Files: Similar to the above, this was the first serious, “grown-up” TV show I watched, and I was hooked. I thought anything with a paranormal tinge was awesome at that younger age (I guess I still do, although through an admittedly far more sceptical scientific lens these days).
I felt the exact same way about the X Files while I watched it too! It was on my personal honorable mentions ✅
Are you me?
I’m going to strongly assume you’re about 40 in that case haha

While the first two are probably fairly generic choices. The last one is the first anime i watched ( i dont count pokemon as anime ) when i was a teeneager ( naturaly it is a crazy schol fantasy harem anime , they were kinda trending at that time and they mostly sucked , similar to iseaki today . This one is probably no exception but i kinda look at it with rose tinted glasses and i havent watched it for a long time . ). Mostly because crunchyroll was an app on ps4 and i installed it and at that time everything was for free after a week. And boy o boy that was a start of journey through a very very deep black hole that im still very deep in.

What a time to be a kid
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them...maybe you can hire The A-Team.
Being the generation that grew up as kids of Vietnam vets was a trip. You had these dudes with BA Baracus looking like he was ready to fuck some fool up to pity them. After that, you had the privileged White middle-upper class family of the Brady Bunch being all corny af, saying shit like, "Gee whiz, Mom! That's positively fantastic!" There were eight people living comfortably off of one wage with a housekeeper.
Imagine that today. The A-Team would be four Afghan and Iraq vets all tatted up working out of a desert-colored F150 Raptor hunting down pedos. One of them would be called Ricky Recon with the signature phrase, "It's time for some group therapy!" They'd also have a lady with them that would be the reasonable one. Every episode would include one line where someone bitches about the VA. The next show would be Modern Family.
In order, Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), Pokemon, Digimon
Saved by the Bell, You Can't Do That on Television, and Nick Arcade. Honorable mention to SK8-TV.

This is actually a pretty hard question. At first I couldn't think of any show but the more I thought about it the more came to my mind.
I narrowed it down to these three:
- MAS*H
- Hogan's Heroes
- Dinosaurs
Not because I'm so old but because they where first aired in my home country in the early and mid nineties when I was at my granny's place a lot of afternoons.
Later I moved town, kinda lost touch to my grandma and wasn't really there when she got very old and then died.
Looking back it's really sad that I wasn't there for someone who spend a whole lot of my childhood with me and in fact was always there for me.
Thanks for sharing your memory. I hope you are able to cherish the memories you had together.
