The Swamp Fox on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. As a kid, I loved the Leslie Nielsen character who to me was the ultimate hero.

Buffy. It premiered when I was in kindergarten and my mom watched it religiously. My siblings all hated the show but I, even in my youth, had better taste than them. We still marathon it on/near Halloween.It remains one of my favorites because as I get older there are things that I just now understand. Terribly behind in the comics though.

What are the first TV series you remember enjoying? As a very young kid, I enjoyed Brum and Play School. How about you? What are some of the first shows you remember enjoying? I'm going to really show my age here  : Superman, and when George Reeves was still alive! Also, probably earlier, The Mickey Mouse Club. Howdy Doody was huge with kids back then, and I came in at the tail end of it. Then there were the westerns, notably The Lone Ranger. Also, Lassie, my sister's favorite (we had to compromise on what to watch). Robin Hood and William Tell, the early British versions, were favorites as well. I loved 'em all. |

As a kid, one of the first TV series I remember enjoying was Ducktales. But the first live-action show I watched religiously was The X-Files. Then a little later came Friends, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Space: Above and Beyond, The Pretender and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The first proper show I remember watching, and subsequently getting very hooked on, was the original Dark Shadows. I'd watch it when I got home from grade school. I had the hots for Angelique and felt a particular draw to Barnabas and Quentin (and Quentin's Theme). Then I'd try to act out various scenes. This,......did not go over well with the parents.
Then when I was older, I remember watching Combat (because we only got like 3 channels, what with UHF and VHF if I recall).
Wild Wild West was another one. The Electric Company or was it ZOOM? (Box 350, Boston, Mass oh-two-one-three-four!) Yep, I still remember the jingle and address.
First show I ever saw in colour was The Flintstones! Then maybe Gilligan's Island.

Dick Van Dyke and Andy Griffith, when I was 3/4.
My dad kind of vaguely resembled both of them (tall, dark/red haired), my mom kind of vaguely resembled Mary Tyler Moore (brunette/black hair, same hairdo), and I kinda vaguely resembled Ron Howard/Opie (freckled, red-haired) so I just assumed those shows were the way families were supposed to be. (And my grandmother on mom's side kind of resembled Aunt Bee, and she was always cooking and baking, etc etc. Maybe I thought those shows were reality series.)
Also, at the time we really only got one teevee channel -- CBS. Once in a while my dad could bring in NBC -- very faintly -- if he really fiddled with the antennas, and it would fade in and out. But basically the only TV shows we got were CBS until I was 8-9.
It was a big deal if we went to our grandparents' house where they could get two or maybe three teevee channels. My dad's parents lived fairly close to a big city so they could even get four or five channels including a couple on UHF. Until I was 6-7 I had no reason to know or even think about what the UHF dial was for.

When I was in Pre-school, I'll say Inspector Gadget. I remember watching it alot in the mornings before going to school. In Kindergarten, probably Reading Rainbow and Sesame street. |

One of the very first shows I remember loving was Duck Tales. I tried to make it my goal to record every episode, but my parents stopped providing me with VHS tapes.

I think maybe MacGyver with Richard Dean Anderson. It's the first show I can remember watching religiously, I loved the theme, and it was where I was first introduced to Lena Headey (whose career I've been following ever since).

The first real TV show (non-kids show) I got into was The X-Files when I was a teenager. I still love it to this day.

"The Adventures of Superman" back in the early 50's when TV stations didn't broadcast continually all day. Even my brother who was two years older than me could not yet tell time, so we kind of reckoned it from the sun's position in the sky. We were generally early and would turn on the TV to see a test pattern for a few minutes before the show started. |
