Childhood favorite shows

LOL Isn't it funny how the conversations about "nothing" seem to go on for hours?! My friends and I used to have this same basic conversation and we would talk and talk and talk.... We came to call them "Seinfeldian" discussions (discussions about nothing, named for the show about nothing ). When I was a kid, my family lived out in the boonies so we only got one channel on our television. So at home I only got to watch Garfield and Friends and Inspector Gadget, He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.... When I went to my friends houses, I watched You Can't Do that on TV and Salute Your Shorts, both on Nickelodeon. I also remember watching MTV when the M still stood for music and they actually had some of that on the network.

There used to be a show on, that I think might have been exclusive to NY state and the surrounds, called "The Magic Garden". It was basically two hippie women that played guitar and sang, and talked to a pink squirrel that lived in a tree. Sometimes they sat on swings that magically descended from the tree, and other times they would be seated on giant red mushrooms. Yes, this is what they exposed us to, growing up in NY in the late 70s! There were also magical flowers that giggled constantly and had a joke on every petal. It was a cute show, although rather trippy. My neice and I really loved it- we always pretended to be the women on the show.

my first favourite tv show in child hood was Jungle Book ....i luv jungle book..my favourite tv channel is Disney...i luv all shows from Walt Disney ... the Lion Kings..aladdin, e.t.c,

I also really loved the nickelodeon shows they used to play. Especially Ah Real Monsters, which I forgot about until just now. I also enjoyed Ren and Stimpy, which may have also been on Nickelodeon but I am not sure. The Disney Channel also had some great cartoons I used to love, mostly because it was just an extension of the disney movies I loved as a kid. Some of my favorite shows from that channel were the Timon and Pumba show (don't know actual title) and Allidan. My top top favorite was the one with the Chip and Dale and their team of mouse detectives or whatever they were supposed to be. Haha, thank you for the great topic, you have me reminscing about all the great cartoons I used to watch and how much I enjoyed them. Too bad I do not think they make any really good quality cartoon shows anymore.
