Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon
Earlier:
- Star Trek: The Next Generation
- The Simpsons
- ReBoot
Later on:
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Invader Zim
- Futurama
As a kid.
- Saved by the Bell.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
- Ducktales.
As a teenager.
- The Wonder Years.
- Friends.
- Party of Five.
I didn’t include The Simpsons since growing up in the 90s, that’s a given.
This is actually a pretty hard question. At first I couldn’t think of any show but the more I thought about it the more came to my mind.
I narrowed it down to these three:
- MAS*H
- Hogan’s Heroes
- Dinosaurs
Not because I’m so old but because they where first aired in my home country in the early and mid nineties when I was at my granny’s place a lot of afternoons.
Later I moved town, kinda lost touch to my grandma and wasn’t really there when she got very old and then died.
Looking back it’s really sad that I wasn’t there for someone who spend a whole lot of my childhood with me and in fact was always there for me.
Thanks for sharing your memory. I hope you are able to cherish the memories you had together.
- Thundercats
- Voltron
- Transformers
Thundercats HOOooo!!!
- The Simpsons: From seeing Season 2 episodes someone had recorded from Sky TV on VHS before it was on terrestrial TV, through to Season 9 when it stopped being good many years later. It was on all the time and we never got bored of it.
- Red Dwarf: The first TV show I was allowed to stay up “late” for, when it broadcast at 9pm. Felt like I’d entered a new stage in my life watching a late-night comedy show.
- The X Files: Similar to the above, this was the first serious, “grown-up” TV show I watched, and I was hooked. I thought anything with a paranormal tinge was awesome at that younger age (I guess I still do, although through an admittedly far more sceptical scientific lens these days).
I felt the exact same way about the X Files while I watched it too! It was on my personal honorable mentions ✅
Are you me?
I’m going to strongly assume you’re about 40 in that case haha
Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy
Spongebob

The first three that come to mind are:
- Daria
- Hey Arnold
- Round the Twist (Australian kids show)
- Monty Python
- Doctor Who (reboot)

Man. Daria was so good! I still watch it occasionally.
