The only show I have watched as a kid rather irregulary was Captain Future as far as I can recall...yeah I know how it sounds, but most shows intended for kids were too "kiddy" for me (which got me in conflict with my parents regulary, but they thought that "The Rockford Files" or "Starsky & Hutch" were not really suitable for a boy of my age

).

So I wasn't the only girl to love The Three Stooges.

I grew up watching The Three Stooges (I actually had a crush on Moe as a kid.

) I also watched the old Abbott and Costello shorts and Laurel & Hardy shorts. I was also into The Marx Brothers (still am).

There are so many many many others that I could mention, I spent way too much time watching TV, and there was a lot to watch.

Others of course were The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Garfield and Friends, Jem, Clarissa Explains it All, Doug....I'll shut up now, I'm wishing I was a kid.

It was on cartoon network probably, they play it at nighttime. Yea it was a weird show, but educational and kids really liked the stuff he did that was imaginary.

Oh I totally agree with you, Chooch!

I said weird but not in a bad sense though.

I liked Pee Wee's Playhouse a lot as a kid, it was very imaginative and colorful...it seems like so many kids shows were about parental anarchy (or as much as they could get away with within reason) around that time, now it's all politically correct, sterile...and I dare say some of them seem to purposely be geared towards adults as well.

Kids shows are supposed to drive your parents nuts...or at least I thought they were supposed to when I was a kid.

If Dora The Explorer isn't a big kiss on the ass of paranoid, politically correct parents, I don't know what is.

I used to love watching Little House on the Prairie, Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Magnum PI. I also used to love Wonder Woman. I really never was into cartoons.
