I saw this on another website and thought I'd bring it here. Post TV shows you remember enjoying while you were growing up.

Probably showing my age here, but:

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch
Kenan & Kel
Alex Mack
Clarissa explains it all
Rugrats
Ren and Stimpy
Are you afraid of the dark?
Goosebumps
Taina
The Amanda Show
Hey Arnold
Rocko's Modern Life
Doug

Nickolodeon was probably the only channel I watched religiously back then. I used to love it when they had presenters and everything... it's such a shame they aren't transmitting interesting things any more.

Robinson Crusoe
White horses

Showing your age!? Judging by this you're probably only 19 or 20!

I definitely don't think I'd manage with only 3 channels.

Completely forgot to include 'The Worst Witch' - I'm still fond of Kate Duchêne (Miss Hardbroom) to this day. She was brilliant!

Not forgetting the world before video (REALLY showing my age here!), when if you wanted to watch something you had to watch it WHEN IT WAS ON, and if someone called at the door they might just be left there, as there was no such thing as live pause!

Oh, and in those days, we had no "Previously on" or "Coming up next"....!

And you had to WATCH the ads! (Or leave the room)....:eek:

I watched that a few times too. It always used to baffle me why he used to use PVA glue for nearly everything
