What's the first TV show you remember watching?
 

We can go with two categories if necessary: animated and non-animated.



As a little kid, I remember the non-animated shows more than the cartoons. I have vague memories of seeing The Red Skelton Show live, as well as an old Three Stooges movie on a Saturday afternoon. At the age of six, I pondered becoming a variety show host. I also have vague memories of The Courtship of Eddie's Father, and I greatly admired the bachelor upstairs neighbor who had the beads instead of a door. And of course, Wonderful World of Disney, which was quite interesting but also annoyingly void of cartoons to be full of such cartoon potential.

On the cartoon front, I remember greatly enjoying Wacky Racers, which I believe is where Dastardly Dan and Muttley got their start. My mom worked in a day-old bread store, and she had a little portable TV that she would set up in the back (inventory) room, where I would watch cartoons on Saturday morning.

Hmmm...

The Great Space Coaster

Red Skeleton Comedy Show

What can I say? :skip:

Fraggle Rock


My mom also used to tape record the old Downy softener commericals with the talking Teddy Bear.

Little Rascals....Gilligans Island....Beverly Hillbillies....Underdog.....Romper Room...

Launching of Apollo 8 in 1968 in nursery school..first trip around the moon :)

I don't remember. Probably Fraggle Rock or Sesame Street.

My earliest recollection is Dark Shadows,the daytime horror soap with the vampire Barnabas Collins,my grandmother never missed it.

The Time Tunnel.

I do remember when I was about 8 or so going to my friends house and watching tv on Saturday Night. He didn't have cable so we'd watch COPS and America's Most Wanted.

..

I used to watch Dinosaurs a lot too.

Thats a great question, outside of cartoons (Hong Kong Phooey, Warner Bros.) i would have to say that this Skynet became TV self aware watching Kung-Fu.

Captain Kangaroo

BAM, how did i forget the Captain, i am SOOO remiss!!!
