TMI Question of the Week

Harry Belafonte with The Muppets on The Muppet...Image via WikipediaThe Muppet ShowImage via WikipediaIf you could jump into a time travel machine and it takes you back to when you were a kid, what would your TV be playing then?

That's easy. It would've been cartoons, kids after school programming, and soap operas. Here's the list.

1. Bugs Bunny - the original ones before the censors started cutting out all the "violence".
2. Superfriends - thus, my love of Batman was born
3. Scooby Doo
4. Schoolhouse Rock - 5 minute cartoons & songs that used to teach you the English language, government, etc.
5. Sesame Street - thus, my love of the Muppets was born
6. The Muppet Show
7. Mr Rodgers Neighborhood - great show with life lessons
8. The Electric Company - Another show about life lessons. Also the first time I ever saw Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman.
9. One Life to Live - when I got home from school, my mom used to have the show on. It was one of the two soap operas that I got hooked on. The other one, which was on right after One Life was...
10. General Hospital - I started watching just before the whole Luke and Laura storyline, when it suddenly became must see tv.
11. The Wonderful World of Disney - It used to come on at 7PM on Sunday nights. Sometimes, it was 1 hours; sometimes two. It had movies and tv series. In short, it was the Disney Channel long before there was such a thing as cable.
