The New Zoo Revue
Reading Rainbow
Smurfs
Gummie Bears
Romper Room

Those are just a few..I am sure the DIS can come up with MANY more...so what were your favorites..

Well, the Smurfs are going to be in a new 3-D movie soon, so you can re-live your childhood!

I loved 3-2-1 Contact.

When you said old shows, I thought you meant really old. My kids watched the shows in the OP's post.

My favorite was the original Mickey Mouse Club with Annette, Robby, Cubby, etc.

I also loved Top Cat.

I was ON Romper Room! My DDad was a cameraman for the local station that produced a version and they would call whenever one of the regulars would get sick and I would fill in. I still remember the bright lights and singing "Bend and stretch, reach for the stars, there goes Jupiter, here comes Mars..."

Locally, we watched
Ray Raynor
Garfield Goose

I was in the first group who watched Sesame Street, I was 4 when it debuted. I also loved Electric Company and Zoom!

I used to watch a show called Hatchey Malatchy ... I think it was local. Don't remember much except I loved it!

Mostly raised on PBS....The Electric Company was my favorite. I'm the only person I know who remembers that Morgan Freeman used to be a star. I loved when they did that double sillouette thing where one person said one part of a word, then the other person said another part, then they'd put the word together. Stupid, I know, but my college roommate and I used to do an "R" rated version of that and pee ourselves laughing.
