Shows that define your childhood - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do you remember 'The Raccoons'? "This is the Evergreen Forest, quiet, peaceful, serene - that is, untill Bert Raccoon wakes up...." I'd forgotten all about 'The Raccoons' and I dunno why, but I suddenly just remembered it the other other day. That brought back so many memories of getting up early on Saturday mornings when I was a kid, to watch 'Raccoons' before 'Going Live' came on! So I wanna know what other shows bring back memories of your childhood. Here's a select few which pretty much define my entire chilhood. Does anyone else remeber any of these? -

Captain Planet
The Raccoons
The Lost Cities of Gold
Belle & Sebastian
Sharkey & George
Saved By The Bell
Pugwall
Betty's Bunch
Rude Dog & The Dweebs
The Bill & Ted Cartoon

Also, I loved SNICK and lots of Nickelodeon shows:

No shows really define my childhood. There is one movie that does define my childhood, though and that is the 1962 film To Kill A Mockingbird. I witnessed an injustice when I was in seventh grade. There was this nice kid and about six guys all lied to the math teacher about things he didn't do and he was eventually transferred to a different school. And, about three of the guys who were being jerks and were lying had been really nice guys in previous grades. I don't think I ever got over it because that situation still bothers me to this day.

goddess936, I'm just wondering, what show is that pink creature from? It looks really funny. It sort of looks like a big pink rubber ball.

sami dg · 03-16-2002, 11:09 PM

Any show from the early eighties would pretty much sum it up for my childhood. Any time I see the Dukes of Hazzard on television now it automatically brings me back to kindergarten, the same goes for Different Strokes. Also when I was young The Wizard of Oz came on once a year.

I can answer that (even tho i'm not sarah). It's Kirby, he's from video games, that particular pic is from Super Smash Bros Melee...right? Cos that moon in the distance is from Zelda...

danielle17 · 03-17-2002, 02:47 PM

I was a mid eighty's baby so:

Alf - I remember watching this show with my family, I loved it. But now, when I watch it, I find it even better. Probably because I get more of the jokes.

Full House (who didn't watch this show)

Boy Meets World - I watched this show from start to finish.

And there were a bunch of other Nick Jr. cartoons:
Eureka's Castle
The Muppet Babies
The Little Bits (does anyone remember this cartoon? No one I talk to remembers watching it

)

Jordan · 03-17-2002, 04:00 PM

THE GUMMI BEARS!!!!!

Oh my God, this was my all-time favorite cartoon and it is no longer aired and that makes me mad!

And also, the Wheel of Fortune was a big show of my childhood. I loved spinny things, like the wheel (and fans -- when my parents would take me to Menards, we couldn't leave until I saw the fans! But that's a whole other story...)

When I was a little, little kid, I would imitate the contestant's arm spinning the wheel, follow my arm with my eyes and say "Wheel of Fortchie!" I couldn't say 'fortune' at that age, so I would say 'Fortchie!'

Swimfan85 · 03-17-2002, 04:28 PM

i saw reruns of silver spoons and i loved it..."here we are face to face a couple of silver spoons hoping to find we're 2 of kind...."

but anyone remember the show "the nomes" or something...the small people who had like the cone shaped hats on their heads and the man with his wife would go "nuzzel nuzzel nuzzel" (they were rubbing there noes together)i dunno it was weird
