Answering TV Questions, part 1

#1. Shows you watched growing up

Now, I watched a lot of things when I was growing up, so I’m going to limit this ‘shows that heavily influenced/impacted me as I was growing up.’

So when I was growing up, my household didn’t have cable, so primarily I got my entertainment from the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS Kids) and from VHS tapes. So I saw a lot of...

Arthur

“Hey! It’s a wonderful kind of day!” 

‘Arthur’ was one of those constants of my childhood - the books were everywhere, and the show ran for years on one of the few TV channels I had access to. It’s still on the air, with new episodes being made every so often, so it never gets stagnant!

I think it’s hard not to like ‘Arthur’... It’s just a simple show about kids growing up. Its simple premise and wide range of characters (everything from a horse-crazy Jewish tomboy to a gay intellectual teacher who gives puppet shows) allows it the freedom to tell almost any story it wants, and it expands on itself rather well, imo.

Liberty’s Kids

‘Liberty’s Kids’ was an educational series that focused on the American Revolutionary War, wherein the 13 colonies forcefully separated themselves from England, becoming the United States. I enjoyed it a lot as a kid and tried to watch it every day.

Looking back as an adult, I admire how deep the show actually got. It portrayed the war as a ��necessary evil,’ and it didn’t hold back any punches about how bad war gets. It also takes some time to focus on how wrong slavery and racism both are, but how prevalent they both were at the time. It showed suffering on all sides, and made sure the audience of children understood the characters’ struggles.

Veggietales

One of the earliest uses of cgi in animation and, honestly? The early episodes were hilarious! This show amused me as a kid and impresses me as an adult because it was originally created by a handful of people who just wanted to make something for their kids to watch.

I really, really don’t like the way the show is made now, but that’s a whole other thing.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?

A classic. My dad watched it growing up (he’s part of the og fandom), so I did as well... as soon as I was old enough not to be afraid of the monsters. ^^;

‘Scooby-Doo’ was also the series that introduced me to fandom culture, the world of fanfiction, and it gave me my first fictional ship. (It was Shaggy/Velma, if you were curious) It was my original portal to online fandom and, during my lonely and depression-filled middle school years, it made me feel a little bit less alone to know there were other people who cared as much as I did about a cartoon series.

Recess

I loved ‘Recess,’ and I could pretty much quote/mimic any character for awhile. I actually talked like the Ashley girls for awhile in elementary school... which no one cared about, but I had fun doing it!

the Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle

This was another series that my dad watched as a kid and showed to me when I was a kid. I don’t really have much to say about it other than I still enjoy it to this day.

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

I watched the series a lot while it was on the air. I remember drawing a fan comic for it. But weirdly enough, I don’t remember much about the show now. I should probably try to find it to watch it again.

I remember there being a robot vampire creature that utterly terrified and fascinated me. I think it was one of the earliest monster creatures that I took an interest in, and the idea of a monster being part-robot, part-vampire really made me think about what other sorts of monsters could exist.

And Mira and Gravitina both gave me a love for alien girls with blue skin. Something about their designs still sticks with me.
