Which TV shows or movies did you love watching when you were a kid? On rainy days or sick days from school perhaps? xD I loved watching the Disney cartoons like Timon & Pumbaa, Tale Spin, Gummi bears, Rescue Rangers and The new adventure of Winnie the Pooh. I also loved Fraggle Rock, Angry Beavers, Rugrats, the first Spongebob episodes and a bunch of other 90's cartoons like that. These days I'm seeing them come out on DVD box sets. I'd love to watch them, but I don't think I'd want to go out and buy a whole box set.

When I was younger, I like watching carebears and Captain Planet. :) I don't really watch much tv when I was younger. That explains. :P

That's good. Care Bears is the best movie to watch. I used to watch cartoons when I was a kid. I do not anymore. I still remember lots of shows from long ago, like THREES COMPANY, GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, THREE STOOGES, ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, GREEN ACRE, and so much more.

My favorite t.v. shows were Charlie's Angels, Kojak, and Taxi and Barney Miller.When I was a kid I had a local channel that would air movies all day long on Sundays so I would see plenty of films. The ones that come to mind are Boys in The Band, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, The Sound Of Music, and Wizard Of Oz.

I loved 80's kids TV shows. I watched all kinds. Early on I watched Transformers, Gummi Bears, Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck. Later on in life I watched Kids Incorporated, Truth or Dare, Saved by the Bell, and Full House. Now that all of the shows are coming out on DVD, I'm tempted to buy them, but they can't have been all that good to begin with. Much less good enough to spend 40-50 dollars on a boxed set of the episodes.

I rarely took sick days from school because I was a bit of an overachiever and, I always wanted that no absences award certificate. LOL! So, I will talk about what shows I watched on Saturday mornings. Smurfs, The Littles, Rainbrow Bright, The Chipmunks, The New Kids on The Block (yes, there was a cartoon), Sheira, Saved By The Bell, The Munchie Chies (I am not sure if that was the name but they were these cute little monkey like ewok sort of cute things and I just remember liking it) and, probably a ton more that I can't remember right now. Oh, and The Care Bears and, I think Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon and The My Little Ponies I think had a cartoon as well. Whew! I liked a lot of colorful, imaginative, magical cartoons when I was young. During the week I loved Family Ties and Growing Pains. Those were two of my favorite comedies that I would never miss!

we liked the flinstones, the brady bunch, the partridge family, the osmond brothers show, the jackson five cartoon and the monkees. those are all i can think of for now. by the way i grew up in the 60's and early 70's so these shows are old and some may not have ever heard of them before.

Well, my favorite TV show ever since I was a little kid was THREES COMPANY. It was really awesome. Now it is on TV Land. I do not know if I ever watched Gilligan's Island when I was little. That program was awesome. How about Andy Griffith Show, Three Stooges, and so much more?

When I would stay home from school I'd always watch the Price Is Right. lol. I loved cartoons like Gummi Bears, Jem & The Holograms. I liked Fraggle Rock, too! I loved the Nickelodeon shows Wild And Crazy Kids, Hey Dude and Family Double Dare. There was also those Nick shows GUTS and Legend of the Hidden Temple (I think that one was also on Nickelodeon, but maybe not). I also liked the shows Harry & The Hendersons and the Golden Girls.
