And I thought the thread was about something like this.
My kids were watching TV after supper last night, Phineas and Ferb and they asked me if I watched it when I was a kid. I had to laugh and it did get me thinking about some of the shows that I watched as a kid. On the science fiction side I remember the following shows:
- Paul Shannon's Adventure Time - Space Angel cartoons - their lips moved
- Space Ghost
- Fireball XL5 (The kids keep asking me why the DVDs aren't in color)
- Stingray
- Lost in Space
- Star Trek
- Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
- Time Tunnel
- Land of the Giants (I thought this one kind of sucked)
I'd like to hear which science fiction shows you all watched when you were wee little ones.
the original Battlestar Galactica (when I was something like 4-5) had a crush on Starbuck
Planet of the Apes - had a crush on the guy with long dark hair (from IMDB, it seems it was James Noughton's character)
+ I vaguely remember the image of young William Shatner, so I guess I
saw Star Trek at some point on TV in the late 1970s, but was way too little to watch it, since I remember absolutely nothing else.
in my preteen/early teenageyears -
The Twilight Zone
Star Trek: The Next Generation (sadly, only season 1, they didn't show the other seasons on our TV)
I need to point out that they were probably shown a year or two after their US airdate, or even several years later, so this doesn't exactly 'date me' precisely. IMDB says The Planet of the Apes started in 1974, when I wasn't even born.
But I can tell you how old I was when my mom took me to watch The Return of the Jedi in the cinema (I had not seen Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back before... which makes me a bit sad now, since TESB was spoiled to me, but at the time, I had no problems since I understood all that was going on)... that would tell you how old I am.
) WTF did F.A.B. stand for anyway??!!
