Thursday Thirteen #12 "Thirteen TV Shows I Grew Up On"
Okay, I’ve been very serious lately, and as I near the end of my Nano run (just crested 45,000 as of last night) I thought we might do a fun topic I got from another TTer last week. So my TT title for this week is...
*drum roll please*
Thirteen TV Shows I Grew Up On.
For each of the shows listed I added an audio of theme songs and a visual link (some very long) for your enjoyment. So how many of these do you all remember?
TV THEMES
1) Wonder Woman
One of my favorite scenes from the show.
Click to view2) Spider Man
I love the Lizardman episodes
3) Muppet Show
I love Animal
4) Fact of Life
I really like these scenes. Just a peek at the first woman to steal my heart.
One last peek just for good measure. Can you guess who she is now?
5) Bionic Woman
I know it’s hooky, but it was cool when I was a kid
6) Star Trek
Now, I know I just did a Roddenberry tribute last week, so here’s a different clip than I used then.
7) Kung Fu
I loved this show, but it confused me as well. As a little girl I never understood why everyone called the white guy, China man. Years later, when I learned the part was meant and created by Bruce Lee, it all made sense. I can’t help but think how much cooler this show would have been with Bruce in the lead *sigh* I did learn later that like me, David is of Cherokee ancestry, which if he'd have played a mixed heritage Indian would have been much more interesting to me as a kid. I personally would have LOVED Bruce in Kung Fu instead.
8) Wild Kingdom
And this show began my years as a nature show junkie…it seems an addiction passed on through uteruo to my son. :)
I admit watching this episode not, I’m glad shows are kinder now that my kids are watching them.
9) Electric Company
I admit liking Sesame Street, but the Elec Co was the coooooolest! When it went off the air, that was a crime!
10) Monkees
Okay who here didn’t have a crush on Davy or Mickey at some point?
11) Super Friends
I know, it was corny, but I loved super heroes, and my choices as a kids were wee bit limited.
12) Incredible Hulk -1976
I know this sounds weird, but I had a bit of a crush on the Hulk….not Lou, or David Banner…the Hulk…I was not a normal child.
13) Land of the Lost
Okay, this was just silly fun (warning super long clip-full episode)
and a bonus...
Lost in Space
This was a goofy show and I just couldn't get enough of it.
