I cannot fathom the amount of my childhood that I whiled away in front of a television. I got to thinking about it after discussing old tv shows with co-workers yesterday. Being mostly in the same age cohort, we all grew up with the same 80s milktoast programming. Girls swooned over Alex of
Family Ties or Chachi from
Joanie Loves Chachi. Guys liked action shows such as
The A-Team or
The Fall Guy. No one mentioned educational shows unless
MacGyver counts as an educational show.
You don't realize how many shows you have seen until you start talking about them with others. We only watch shows about an hour each day, yet I have seen most of the shows from my generation. Of course there weren't as many back in the ole black & white TV days.
