When I was like 2 I watched Barney and Sesame Street a bit although I don't remember them. Apparently Barney sucks because nothing bad happens but idk I guess it's good for some kids if their life is a little chaotic. Sesame Street from what I've seen looks good. I used to have a Barney CD...in fact I still do. I liked TJ and Baby Bop and the only song I know from that CD is a song sung by Baby Bop (or the actress who plays her anyway....or at least I hope it's them and not just some random impersonator lying to the kids....not that it would make that much of a difference but still rather it was the real actress....assuming it's an actress) about apples and bananas....
When I was 3 I remember that I used to watch Smurfs. Papa Smurf! Bout all I know about it and maybe that they lived in a village. There was a random member on a rubbish forum who had the name Papa Smurf. Btw if you didn't already know sometimes I just interject my posts with my thoughts.

When I was 5-7 I watched DBZ a bit (was my favourite programme) and I also watched stuff like Dexter's Lab, The Powerpuff Girls (I seemed to be the only boy who liked it....not sure why it was considered girly considering it was an action series with more violence than most other kids' TV programmes in the UK), Edd Ed n Eddy and Courage the Cowardly Dog (even though he wasn't that cowardly). Top Cat was pretty good too. I remember there was other stuff like Cow and Chicken but wasn't really into that or anything.
I also watched a fair bit of Power Rangers (Blue, Black, White and Silver were my faves not sure what the order would be though) and Pokemon on Saturday mornings on ITV1 (part of the CITV show) only to get told off afterwards.
I used to think Vegeta was the strongest in DBZ/that Android 17 was a girl/that Freeza was a woman/girl and I never really knew the plot. Not gonna go into too much detail tbh.

When I was 8 I used to watch DBZ at my neighbour's place quite a lot while not doing homework (generally wasn't like that except for that year and to varying extents when I was 13+), other than that didn't watch TV (don't think we had TV that was hooked up to receive any channels for a while anyway). I wasn't allowed to watch the Simpsons before this but because I just lived with my dad and his brother I got to watch it a bit because my dad didn't know it was something I wasn't meant to watch.

There was one summer holiday when I was like 10 when I was really into Diagnosis Murder. It used to be the only good programme that came on in the daytime on the regular 5 channels (BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV 1, Channel 4 and Channel 5) at like 1pm. Think it was on BBC 1. Still is one of the best daytime TV shows on a weekday (although that's not hard to be).

When I was 9-12 I watched the Simpsons and after that (initially put "before" - had to look it up) on BBC2 The Fresh Prince of Bel Air used to come on which I'd watch sometimes too....although I tended not to watch non-animated stuff much still and mainly just liked the theme tune....but Carlton was always quite cool and later on I did like the programme quite a lot and I still do....has some good comedy and I love the characters and the drama too. I laughed at like 2 episodes of the Simpsons back then: the Angry Dad one (when he goes outside and is like "nothing can make me angry out here" and gets hit by the mail/a milk bottle/a piano) and the one when Homer makes himself clinically obese so he can get permission to work from home and he tries to use the telephone and it tells him his fingers are too fat like "fingers too fat, please try again". The Angry Dad one was one of those things that I could think of and it was always guaranteed to make me laugh....think it still is like that but I'm not thinking about it in detail right now so I'm not sure).

When I was 11-12 I was very into Spongebob Squarepants because we had Nicktoons (was the one kids channel that was randomly available) and there was one summer holiday when the guest channel (had NTL at that time) was Boomerang and they just had Scooby Doo on until the night when they'd have Pink Panther and other stuff on so I watched a lot of Scooby Doo even though I'd never been that into it in the past (not that I hadn't liked it....always like Scrappy, Shaggy and that grey dog relative of Scooby....his cousin or uncle not sure). I used to regularly tell my friend who I used to go to school with about the Simpsons/Spongebob episode/s I'd seen recently in enough detail that he wouldn't even need to see it himself tbh.
I was also very into Malcolm in the Middle when I was like 11-12 I think it was, and would sometimes describe the episodes of that too. Not sure who my favourite character was....maybe Reese or Malcolm. I never knew who Francis was or why it switched over to him sometimes. I also used to watch WWE: Experience (the highlight show that was on Sky One).

Once when I was 11 on holiday for 3 weeks I was really into Tom and Jerry and got my dad's brother's wife/my cousins' mother into it quite a bit. She thought it was pretty funny. I did too although I wasn't the type to laugh at it too easily.

I watched Futurama a bit when I was like 12-14 or something maybe, not sure. Was okay. Fave ep is when Bender gets upgraded.

Like many children I also grew up on a healthy diet of Brookside/Coronation Street/Eastenders. Oh yeh and Blind Date I liked that, along with Stars in Their Eyes. I watched Friends a little bit with Ross being my favourite but when I watched it when I was older as a teenager Chandler was easily my favourite, and then probably Joey. Monica was the hottest....why do I need to say that? I don't.
I watched That 70's Show a bit when I was like 14 or 15 and Jackie was hot. K.

Yep....could go into more detail but can't be bothered.

Pretty detailed, daman suckas. But seems like you really never paid attention when watching haha.


For me it was DBZ, Detective Conan, Goofy and Donald Duck episodes/movies, Angry Beavers, CatDog and those kinda things.

I sometimes even watched Yu-Gi-Oh, Megaman and more.
