When I was around 8, my parents got hooked into Dynasty. The whole house would just stop; my parents would force me to sit and watch Dynasty with them. Obviously, I got hooked on it. Transformers and Dynasty were pretty much the only shows I watched in pre-teen years. Teen years, I didn't watch much TV at all (no TV to watch). Now it's mostly 24, Alias, a little JAG, a little friends, a lotta Scrubs, and a whole lotta DVDS

Sunday: Fox's lineup at 7
I plan on some new shows this year but I really don't know when anything comes on so I might be alittle lost

Let's see, I was a teen from about 1984 through 1989.
I remember I really loved LA Law and Moonlighting.
I'm trying to remember what other shows I watched back then.
Married With Children when it began. Cosby Show, Roseanne.

There are exactly two shows in TV history that I can honestly say I'm a "fan" of (and of course they've already been mentioned). For age reference, my high school career came to its triumphant conclusion when I graduated in AD 1997.
Simpsons - For some reason, I've NEVER watched it on Sunday nights - odd, since it is emphatically not the case that I'd actually be doing something on Sunday nights. But I made it a point to catch the reruns every weekday. I think for a while there I was even recording them so I could re-watch the re-runs.
Seinfeld - Really wish I could say I discovered this show before it was "cool"; unfortunately, it was already a ratings extravaganza by the time I bothered to notice it. Once I got into it, though, I was hooked. Again, made a point to catch the daily reruns, as well as the new ones on NBC Thurs. @ 9 PM. Constantly quoted from the episodes the next day in school: I think I referenced my "sack lunch" approximately 37 trillion times the day after the English Patient episode aired.
Oh, and BoatDrinks - That's the kinda comment that makes me say "Damn! How come I didn't think of that?" Guess that's why you're a professional writer and I'm..........not.

I genuinely have no idea, but with the exception of Married With Children, I watched literally every single series Fox aired for the first two...two and a half years of its existence. Something like that. It was exceptionally rare for me to miss an episode. I have no idea why.

Love Boat, Fantasy Island-Really early teen years
Family Ties-was big for me
Magnum PI-my favorite, by far, from the "teen" years (13-17).
Didn't watch much TV when I was 18 and 19 when I was away at college, but we never missed the MTV Video Countdowns on Friday nights. It was always on at parties on in the dorms, back when MTV was still about playing videos.
Oh and my mom made me watch General Hospital when I came home from school. She kept me home for the Luke and Laura Wedding.
I still haven't forgiven her. I'm serious.

My teen and pre-teen years were filled with such classics as:
M*A*S*H, All In the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett
Ok, stop for a second. Think about the fact that, for a brief period, the above shows were on the same night (Saturday), on the same network (CBS)
Saturday Night Live
Monty Python's Flying Circus
McCloud
Colombo
McMillan and Wife
Mannix
The Rockford Files
Six Million Dollar Man
And the list could continue for a while, but you get the idea.

The original Must-See-TV. I remember my older sisters (who were teens at that time) and my mom watching those shows in the mid-70s. That was probably the most powerful network night ever. Hard to believe that Saturdays used to be so important in the television landscape.
