I didn't watch a lot of TV as a child, mostly because I preferred to read. Although yes, I learned to read and speak English from Sesame Street and The Electric Company. And I watched Channel 9's Saturday morning bloc of Popeye, Superfriends and The Great Space Coaster (Get on board!). But there were two shows I flat-out held the TV hostage for: ( Read more... )
