Kids TV

---

I watched a lot of TV as a kid. So much that I am sure I forget more of the regulars than I actually remember.

After school it was channel 56 in Boston. They aired cartoons in the afternoon and then sitcoms in the evening. We sort of put it on and just let it run.

Cartoons included the Hanna-Barbera stuff mostly. Flintstones, Jetsons, stuff like that. They aired various incarnations of Tom and Jerry and Loony Toons too. Bugs Bunny was my favorite of all of those, but the Loony Toons stuff was so much better than Merry Melodies.

The sitcoms got increasingly more adult focused as the evening rolled on. Happy Days and Lavern and Shirley were on earlier than Three’s Company or Good Times or All in the Family. I much preferred Happy Days. That was right up my ally when I was a kid in the late ’70’s.

Saturday mornings were all about cartoons too. The Super Friends were and still are the best. I am having a tough time remembering anything else. For a while we used to get Land of the Lost, which wasn’t a cartoon but was awesome.

I’m sure there are 10 or 20 thousand more shows that we all watched regularly but I can’t recall much more than these at the moment. Also, it’s a work in the office day and it’s 6:39am and I have to get a move on so…
