    You ask for teh single favorite show and then you list like 10 of em???

    When I was 5 it was anything revolving around Captain Kangaroo, Sesame Street, Electric Company.

    By the time I was 10-12, it was shows like Gilligan's Island, Batman, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family after school and then Happy Days, Fantasy Island, Love Boat.

    By 13, it was anything that had t*** associated with it.

    From 17 till 20, I didn't have time to watch much TV.

    In my 20's, it was probably MacGyver

    In my 30's, I would have to say Seinfeld.

    Now that I'm pushing 40, I will speak early and say LOST and 24.

    Did that answer your question? ;)

    Does anyone remember Lancelot Link Secret Chimp

    They dressed real chimps up as detectives/villians and solved crimes.

    I also remember staying up late and watching Benny Hill (and worrying my mom was going to catch me).

    Anyone remember a show called "Hot Chocolate" that came on Saturdays? It had the kid puppets with real human hands? It was scary.

    Yeah, I forgot about Benny Hill too. Also Bizzare with John Byner was right after that. I used to love Super Dave Osborne.

    Benny Hill is still on BBC if you have TW digital cable. Man, I used to love watching him pat that old man on the head. :D

    Can't believe I forgot the original Batman TV series. Watched that religously as a kid.

    Exactly. They built this play rocket-ship out of wood and bicycles that ended up actually working sending them into space.

    That was only one part of the show. The show had cartoons and other puppets that sang songs. I found pictures of some 5 years ago on the net, but now I can't find it anymore.

    I think they had different shows combined into one show. I don't know though. Man I wish I could find those photos.

    The Courtship of Eddies Father

    Dark Shadows

    There was also a Christian show that featured clay cartoon characters. I was made to watch it and eventually started liking it.
