Just offhand, one of my favorites from many moons ago was Sky King.

I was never a kid: my mom was told she couldn't have any children so it took eleven months for me to emerge as a little adult...

Was that a marionette show?

Hmmm, that would be a toss up, as my favorites always seemed to get canceled, and I'd have to find a new one.

V, The A-Team, Knight Rider, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rodgers, Sledge Hammer, this list could go on for quite a while... Embarrassed

If you mean TV show that's easy. We didn't have TV when I was a kid. Tongue

My favourite radio shows were 'Dick Barton - Special Agent' & 'Journey Into Space', not forgetting the legendary 'Goon Show'. Wink

For a couple years in my pre-teens, I watched Gilligan's Island at a neighbor's house every once in a while, but otherwise didn't watch TV growing up. I had to use my own imagination to entertain myself... Grin

Even now, with my own apartment and my own TV, there are a couple shows i'll watch during the week if i'm not busy. But otherwise, I really couldn't care.

Well I have to go with Thunderbirds as well, got the full lot (including both movies) on DVD. Love it! Emi (Mini-Mod) is just getting into it, so we sometimes sit together of an evening and watch it after doing her homework and having dinner before her bedtime story.
Thunderbirds is just something REALLY special, so much so my mum got an autographed picture of Gerry Anderson with Thunderbird one for me for my 30th birthday, possibly the coolest present she ever got me. It has pride of place in my den as it is address to me by one of my great heros.
Oh and Doug, the Goons ROCK Cool

Shall I throw a bucket of water over him? Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Much the same as Shane's list. One addition though: The dukes of Hazard. Still my favourite series, even now.

I remember coming home from school and listening to "The Lone Ranger' sitting cross legged in my parents bedroom. The only thing I can cross now, is my ankles. Grin

We had no 'living room' at that time, just two bedrooms, very small kitchen and shared a bath with my aunt and uncle in the other side of the duplex. We got our first B&W TV just before I turned seven. The only series I can remember are Dragnet and Star Trek. But I watched a lot of movies on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I like 'Leave it to Beaver' still today as well. I wasn't around when it was first aired, but I saw it in reruns growing up and I spend a lot of time on TV Land along with teh WX Channel, and The History Channel.

Another is Star Trek. I saw this in Germany for the first and only time in '68 and didn't see it again until '76 in re-runs. Still like it today. Shatner is a real card.

I still watch The Andy Grifith Show, Archie Bunker, Good Times, Hogan's Hero's, etc. Anything TV Land has.

'I Love Lucy' is perhaps my all time favorite though.

F.A.B.

Also agree on Star Trek - the scripts are so bad they are classic. I saw the original show Enterprise model in the Smithsonian the other week; brought it all back.

The intro music was great - a cliff-hanger every night. How about "Much binding in the marsh"? - Murdoch and Horne, predecessors to Sellars, Milligan etal.
