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 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.

Electric Company and Romper Room are the shows that are deepest in my subconscious.

My children have an unbelievable capacity to watch the EXACT same thing over and over and over and over and over.

I'm convicned they'll be able to recite Thomas the Tank Engine, and Harold, episodes from memory when they're my age. It's just unbelievable.

Edit: P.S., I can't recommend Harold and the Purple Crayon more highly for ages 2+. My kids absolutely love it, it's very imaginative, well done, cute, inoffensive, educational, blah, blah, blah. One episode deals with death in a very good manner (Harold's goldfish dies).

Gun Smoke and Dark Shadows. Good thing we had a big doberman pincher because after watching Dark Shadows, I'd make him follow me everywhere in the house.

Yeah, it was called Torey Time and is probably one of the earliest I remember. My brother was in Cub Scouts and got to be on the show and he said hi to me because I was sick at home. I was probably around 4 years old.

Torey...

Have you seen the new CSI: Purple Crayon? A team of glib men and beautiful women do gruesome autopsies of the goldfish and examine the crime scene to find out why the goldfish died. I think they're running out of spinoff ideas.


On an unrelated topic, my mom said that when I was a toddler, I would stand in front of the TV watching as "My Three Sons" came on, and I would tap my foot to the same beat as the tapping foot on the intro.

You're mocking me, aren't you? Just because you're ashamed of denying Brian Waters his Super Bowl glory.

And you call yourself a judge. Feh.

I'm a judge and I'll be on the bench for as long as justice needs to be served and this little pump keeps working.
