Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon
Earlier:
- Star Trek: The Next Generation
- The Simpsons
- ReBoot
Later on:
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Invader Zim
- Futurama
ReBoot! That brings back memories!
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.
- Star Trek The Next Generation
- The Simpsons
- Late Night with Conan O’Brien

Honestly, I read a lot more than I watched tv. There are tons of books that shaped me, but I had to struggle to remember the shows that helped me along.
I imagine I’ll ask about books in another post soon then, but it looks like it will be a tough one for you! In the meantime, you can think on it 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Star Trek
The Waltons
Happy Days
Yes, I’m old!
