  • My first favorite was the Mickey Mouse Club. Along the way I liked Lost in Space, Beverly Hillbillies, Waltons, Monkees, Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island. And then the darker side, Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and Night Gallery.

              • There wasn't any TV around when I was growing up, but my children loved the cartoons that were on all Saturday morning once TV was first around for them and I used to have the whole neighbourhood in my house as we had one of the first TV's in the area. Bandstand was a favourite on Saturday evenings and Disney was on every Sunday evening [6pm]

                • Completed High School in 97. Favourite show : The Simpsons. Loved how each family member got back home to reach the family couch in front of their lounge room TV, as the opening intro! Also, around 1993, I taped from TV, Star Wars : The Empire Strikes Back. Would often watch Luke Skywalker's training from Yoda scenes, after I got back from High School! Loved the battle scenes in the Cold Ice Planet located in the Hoth System! :-)

                                  • We're talking back in the 60s here. TV was new around where we lived and I remember my parents bringing home our first TV. Didn't take long for us kids to get hooked on TV, even back then. The show I remember most was one called Bandstand where Australian and international bands would perform their songs. I loved it because I was really into music. I remember going out on to our front porch one day when it was on and dancing around. I can imagine what our neighbours thought lol.

I remember the "magic mirror," but she never saw me!!! I wonder why??? Oh, Adventure Time with Paul Shannon. That one was definitely from Pittsburgh, and also Chiller Theater on Saturday nights. Dad and I used to watch all of those dumb horror films from the 60's. They were pretty pathetic compared to horror films today, but I don't watch them today. They are too realistic!
