Favorite Childhood Television Shows!

was Uncle Buck in Bonanza or High Chaparel?

Hmmmm. The only Uncle Buck I know was the adorable and hilarious John Candy.

I remembered another show that I really loved, can't believe I forgot all about it.

Taxi.

 What a great show, except for the last year or two.  It was so funny but never stupid or silly and it even was sometimes sad. I think it was the only sit com I ever really liked.

Toycoon!  How ya doin'? 

I loved "Gilligan's Island."  It is very important to me.  Because if it, I knew I was gay. 

You see, I was watching an episode where Ginger grabbed Professor, threw him on a table, and kissed him long and hard.  I was about 5 years old when I saw that, and I knew then and there that I wanted to do what Ginger was doing. 

I'll still do Russell Johnson for old-times' sake.  He was such a good-lookin' man. 

I think I knew I was gay once I decided I wanted to move into Jeannie's bottle.

Those Wonder Twins got on my nerves.

I  LOVED the Wonder Twins!

[CellarDweller]

I guess that makes one of us.  Wouldn't the guy take the form of some animal and the girl some form of water? 

"Shape of. . . a crap-throwing monkey!"  "Shape of. . . a drink at the gay bar down the street!" 

I'm a Wendy and Marvin man myself.

Oh geez.  I remember Wendy & Marvin.

You got the twins reversed.  Jayna would turn into animals, and Zan into some form or water.  Actually, DC Comics ran a series based on the show, and they handled the Wonder Twins much better.  Put them in high school, they had to learn English (they were aliens, after all) and even gave them secret identities.

Shortfic, those are among my all time, favorite shows. I still listen to the Banana Splits and Josie when I roller blade on the beach. They are on my I-POD right this minute!

I remembered two more shows.  Does anyone else remember James at 15 and Family?

Those sure were big when I was in high school.
