What was the first show you watched regularly when it was on?

Im not sure about you but when I was younger (3-10) I didn't watch much primetime network tv (8-11 on CBS, NBC, etc.) so what was the first show that you watched most of all?

I didn't start watching that much primetime till I was in 5th grade (10 years old)
but I first was a big watcher of Boy Meets World. I don't think I missed one episode from when I was 6 till I was 10 (Seasons 3-7) I remeber I used to always wait on friday nights for a new episode of Boy Meets World. After that I started watching The Simpsons and Sabrina and now I watch more than 10 hours of primetime a week...

I remember watching Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts Of Life and Gimme A Break nearly every week they were on from around the time I was 3 (1982-1983ish)

In reruns, I never missed an episode of "Batman", with Adam West. It was on The Family Channel and I taped every episode I could. This was back in 1989 or 1990.

As for shows in their original run. I don't remember. I know that I watched "ALF" every monday night. So I guess that would be it. And also "Full House" was a show I watched from the beginning, every week until it ended.

I watched Growing Pains when it was on Disney Channel when I was in elementary school.

I remember watching Diffrent Strokes, Alice, The Jeffersons and Archie Bunkers Place around the same time period(1980-81) when I was in third grade. The first shows I remember watching though were reruns of Gomer Pyle, Batman (w/Adam West), Superman(50s) and The Three Stooges in the mid 1970s.

I don't really remember, but it was probably THE FLINSTONES back when I was growing up, in the early 60s. (now I'm showing my age!)

I remember watching Family Matters and Step By Step on TGIF around 1991-1992. Also watched Rescue 911, Unsolved Mysteries, and Top Cops(anyone remember that?), around that time as well.

It was probably Lassie or Walt Disney.

THE HOWDY DOODY SHOW (circa 1953). Yep, I'm from the "Peanut Gallery"
generation (and proud of it!). Cowabonga!

Probably Diff'rent Strokes or the A-Team. Those were my first two favorite shows. I don't remember which one I was into first...

Still like the A-Team. Not so sure about the other...
