Sure, a meme, why not!

I tend to say that I don't care for TV shows, so this is a good way of proving me wrong. Or possibly right, we will see!

Here is how it works:
- Bold all of the following TV shows of which you've seen 3 or more episodes.
- Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode.
- Asterisk * if you have at least one full season on tape or DVD
- If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order). I have added more than 3 because honestly, there's so much stuff missing from this list it's ridiculous. And not just recent things but old stuff, too! Curse you, Americentrism!

You Can't Do That on Television



OK. I don't care for TV shows. I mean, I've missed out on most of the stuff that everyone in my generation has seen, caught up a bit when I was a student. These days, I tend to catch a lot more than I ever thought I would, but still not nearly as much as I could. But even I could see how incomplete this list was. I mean, I accept that some things are just more recent than this list is, but how come Sesame Street was missing?!

Comments

[satismagic.livejournal.com]

There's still so much missing. And so many new shows, even American ones. o_O

Also, it's such a YOUNG list. Damn, I'm getting OLD.

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

I'm sure! I only added the ones I happened to think of at the moment - and I was, as I said, never a particularly avid watcher of TV shows! (I was half-tempted to add Die Sendung mit der Maus, though! ;))

Aw, come on, I love Lucy is ANCIENT! ;)

[satismagic.livejournal.com]

But there's no "The Fall Guy"! And OMG I just noticed. No "Tom and Jerry"!

(At least they included "Knight Rider", grave of my childhood, ah.)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Lots of other 80s stuff, though, and older crap too. It's not an age thing!

I had to put DuckTales on the list, too. Not to mention all the Franco-Canadian or Euro-Japanese productions. They don't seem to be particularly hot on animation that doesn't involve superheroes.

[samtyr.livejournal.com]

I agree -- there's *so much* missing! A lot of the older stuff I saw because in those days, there were only 3 channels, 1 tv w/no remote and Mom and Dad had control of it. How can there be no Westerns? Not even Rawhide that featured (young) Clint Eastwood!

And not to include Sesame Street *or* Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood -- oh the horror, the shame! No Rocky and Bullwinkle or Jonny Quest either!

I think I am the only one who watches 'Breaking Bad' though.

[independence1776]

Jonny Quest was one of the ones I was going to add if I ever get around to doing this. Show of my childhood (thanks to Cartoon Network).

[samtyr.livejournal.com]

Jonny Quest was just amazing. If you get a chance, you should watch this http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=JxS6FJ7UqFQ that discusses the animation of JQ. (Just remove the spaces and the link should work.)

[independence1776]

Ooh, thank you!

[independence1776]

There are a lot of shows I'd have to bold or whatever thanks to my parents constantly watching TVLand (a channel that used to be dedicated to 1950s and 1960s live action TV about a decade ago). Modern shows? Haha. I'm not much of a TV watcher, either.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

I added a lot to the list (http://elenbarathi.livejournal.com/516047.html) too. Amazed I've watched that much TV in my life!

[joyful-molly.livejournal.com]

No Power Puff Girls! NO COW AND CHICKEN!? How can such a list exist without Cow and Chicken?! I've added more than three, that's for sure.

Also, I've spent too much time watching TV.
