Thirty Days of TV: Day Thirteen

Day 13 - Favorite childhood show

That depends on how young a child the meme has in mind. Little
selenak loved the cartoon series Sindbad best. The link gives you the title sequence, and embarrasingly, I can still sing it, along with other cartoon series title melodies such as "Heidi" ("Heidi, Heidi, deine Welt sind die Beeeeeerge") or "Die Biene Maja" ("Und diese Biene, die ich meine, nennt sich Majaaaaaaa").
bimo heard me do it once, she can confirm it. Anyway, Sindbad in Sindbad is a child, not an adult, but still from Baghdad, his sidekick is a know it all clever bird named Sheela who is actually, as we find out much later, a princess who was transformed by the requisite evil magician, and together they have most of tales from the Arabian Nights, somewhat altered for a child hero, as adventures, and then some. Child!me tried her best not to miss a single episode and loved clever bossy Sheela and impulsive adventurous Sindbad to bits.

Still a child but somewhat older me watched Star Trek, and a life long fandom was born. It was definitely my favourite live action series, though oddly enough, it wasn't and isn't my favourite ST ever after first TNG and then DS9 came along. It only was when it was still the only Trek in town.

Sindbad, otoh, beat Maja the bee, Heidi and Pinnocchio fairly and simultanously.
