Favourite Television Shows

Growing up I loved all the "regular" shows - Who's The Boss. Growing Pains, Family Ties, Full House and most of the other TGIF shows.  I also loved Murder She Wrote (I watched it from the time I was little - my 4 yr old kindergarten teacher even told my mom it was inappropriate and I should not be allowed to watch it - that didn't go over well with my mother) - I continued to watch the series until it ended.

When I was in grade 8, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman started and I watched the premiere.  I really enjoyed it, and Saturday nights (when I wasn't babysitting) I would be watching it with my mom.  I didn't want to sit alone and watch it, so she would watch it with me.  My parents would even make plans AROUND my mom watching it with me and not go out until after 8pm if it was possible.

I didn't watch the entire series, after a few years I was either working on Saturday night or at the movies with my friends.

I recently saw an ad pop up online for the complete series and decided to purchase it.  For the last few weeks I have been watching it after the kids go to bed.  It really was a very well done show.

Do you have any shows from your childhood that you have rewatched? Do you still like them or do you question why you watched them?
