Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon
Dr. Who
HR Puffenstuff when I was tiny, I remember it freaking me out
Star Trek the Next Generation
Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy
Spongebob
Power Rangers
Transformers
MacGyver
Star Trek TNG
Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, the Lone Ranger.
I’m not THAT old, but New Zealand didn’t have television until late in the day, so we got cheap, years-old US kids’ shows. I was ten before our region got TV and it was a few years after that when we got our own set. The first TV I ever watched was coverage of what must have been one of the early Saturn rocket launches. We went to my older sister’s boyfriend’s house to watch it. Very exciting!
I liked Lone Ranger best. “Hi ho Silver, and awaaaay!”

You Can’t Do That on Television
(But really, so many more.)
The Simpsons.
Stargate SG-1.
Star Trek Deep Space 9.
- The Simpsons: From seeing Season 2 episodes someone had recorded from Sky TV on VHS before it was on terrestrial TV, through to Season 9 when it stopped being good many years later. It was on all the time and we never got bored of it.
- Red Dwarf: The first TV show I was allowed to stay up “late” for, when it broadcast at 9pm. Felt like I’d entered a new stage in my life watching a late-night comedy show.
- The X Files: Similar to the above, this was the first serious, “grown-up” TV show I watched, and I was hooked. I thought anything with a paranormal tinge was awesome at that younger age (I guess I still do, although through an admittedly far more sceptical scientific lens these days).
Are you me?
I’m going to strongly assume you’re about 40 in that case haha
I felt the exact same way about the X Files while I watched it too! It was on my personal honorable mentions ✅
Looks like the montages creator here is an early millennial.
Transformers, GIJoe, He-Man
Pokemon Scooby-Doo Demon king daimao
While the first two are probably fairly generic choices. The last one is the first anime i watched ( i dont count pokemon as anime ) when i was a teeneager ( naturaly it is a crazy schol fantasy harem anime , they were kinda trending at that time and they mostly sucked , similar to iseaki today . This one is probably no exception but i kinda look at it with rose tinted glasses and i havent watched it for a long time . ). Mostly because crunchyroll was an app on ps4 and i installed it and at that time everything was for free after a week. And boy o boy that was a start of journey through a very very deep black hole that im still very deep in.
