My parents kind of regulated us to "Sesame Street", "Zoom", "Electric Company". My sister and I were into the Supertwins. Shows I remember watching included "The Littles", "Starblazers", "Astroboy", "Kimba the White Lion". Week day afternoons I always remember running home from school to catch the 4pm Japanese giant monster film that Channel 7 was playing.

I'd be doing very well to recall them all! But I do remember some summer days doing literally nothing all day long but watching TV. There were a few times I would watch TV from the time it came on the air to the time it signed off. Yup, I am old enough to remember a time TV channels used to sign off DAILY, no infomercials over night! And there were only THREE networks and a couple independent stations and a few UHF stations. [geezer mode]young whippersnappers these days don't know what they missed out on![/geezer mode]

I can't recall every show I watched, but I do remember it seemed there was more good stuff on back then when there were fewer channels than today when we have more channels filled with crap!

Boy, this thread is making me feel old. I don't remember much of my TV schedule, but I do remember watching Kimba the White Lion, Ultra-Man, Johnny Sako and the Flying Robot. And I remember getting up Sunday mornings to watch Abbott and Costello.

I remember getting home from kindergarden and watching Doctor Who. Then it became the roundup of GI Joe, Transformers, Silverhawks, Go-bots, MASK, He Man, and admittedly She-Ra too, and all of that stuff.

The only nightly television shows I regularly remember watching as a kid were Buck Rogers, Ripleys Believe It Or Not, Manimal, The A-Team, and Small Wonder.

Weekends of course were packed with the regular Saturday morning line-up of cartoons, followed by our local UHF stations Kung fu and Horror theater on Saturday afternoon, B-Movie Theater at night. Early Sunday afternoons there were Abbot and Costello, Ma and Pa Kettle, Stooges, and various old movies, usually comedy but also some film noir, classic horror, and old westerns.
