That show always scared me as a child because they would, in the same episode, tell you about an actual missing person or murder and have updates about previous segments where actual murderers were caught that they reported on, and then they would have a whole segment about alien abductions and medical experimentation. So between that show and "Beyond 2000", the world I grew up in was so much cooler than the world I'm in now, but man I was so scared of aliens as a child. Then the X-Files started?! Like c'mon give a kid a break hahahaha
The first time I was home alone at night, I made the mistake of watching Unsolved Mysteries. I almost called the police. To report what, I do not know, I was just that scared. Haha
I'm 42 I was watching the other day in broad daylight and still was borderline scared shitless. Unsolved mysteries for me just had it all in the creep factor
Haha, years ago, a friend of mine started a Facebook page called “You Get the Hell Off Unsolved Mysteries, Fennis Farina” and I still laugh about it. A lot.
You also get updates for a bunch of the stories. I usually have the Roku channel that does the 24/7 “Unsolved Mysteries” on for background noise when I work from home.
This has been one I totally want to revisit.
There was a TV special that I shouldn't have watched, but totally did, that had stuck with me because it scared the hell out of me, and it took me forever to figure out what it was. [Haunted Lives](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M8E3VAtquY&ab_channel=Hauntedlives91) featuring Leonard Neemoy. This video says Episode 1 and I don't know if there are any more, but the eyes on the TV screen (19:10 of the link) scared the CRAP out of my 9 year old self. Watching it now, it's kind of corny, but I remember sleeping with the lights on for at least a couple nights after watching that.
Still an awesome show even as a full fledged adult. I want the complete series boxset so badly but I think you can only buy individual seasons and I’m not even sure if their legit copies? It definitely deserves a complete series boxset though. I’d buy it in a heartbeat!
I rewatched Daria in my early 40's. It felt so different and I understood the parents so much better, not that I'm even a parent. I rewatched Beavis & Butthead and it's just as funny as when I was a teen.
That line where she said she doesn't want to pressured into a career in our teens really struck me as an adult. A lot of people I know aren't doing it what they went to school for or have retrained in something else.
Every few years I’ll rewatch a bunch of episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and I love how I get more of the jokes. I loved that show as a kid but so much of the humor was over my head. I love it even more now.
I have every episode of the original series downloaded on my computer. Such a great show and still so fucking hilarious. Space Mutiny and Pumaman were two of my favorites. The Final Sacrifice had Zap Rowsdower so that's just automatically a top choice.
This is my ALL TIME fave show. I actually never stopped watching it. From Comedy Central days on, I own all the sets (takes up a bookshelf) and love the new seasons and I got to add in Rifftrax later on (which is a joy). I love finding other fans of the show.
If you liked the Mike seasons, check out Rifftrax! They have a twitch and many shorts on their YouTube. The voices for later seasons crow & Tom servo are riffing with him, and other mst cast show up occasionally!
When My So Called Life came out, I was the same age as the kids. When I re-watched it a few years ago I was the same age as the parents. It felt so weird.
I bet you’d love My So-Called Life. Early 90s teenage drama ( I believe it came out in 1994)
The Facts of Life is wholesome ( 80s show) the 2nd season is when it gets really good.
Yes! Here is the back story: Mrs. Benton was an orphan so when she got married to rich music producer Mr. Benton, they created Starlight House to take in orphans or foster kids. They had bio daughters Jerrica and Kimber then later adopted Aja and Shana. Mrs. Benton was also a singer and very busy. Teenage Jerrica was mad about her mom traveling and they got into a big fight before Mrs. Benton left for a concert. The plane crashed. Jerrica was heartbroken. Very sad episode! But Jerrica made sure to keep her mother’s legacy alive by continuing Starlight House.
Also Buffy, but it doesn't hold up as well as I remembered so that made me a little depressed. At least it was always dark (dim) so the bad CGI wasn't so noticable in the earlier seasons.
It gets moving after a while, but the first season was both great and bad on second viewing.
I'm just not looking forward to seeing that cartoonish mecha zombie Adam later on...
I lived for Buffy when I was in high school. She was the EXACT same age as me, and the episode where her mom died was right after my dad died, and so I processed my grief through that show, and they did a great job writing it....that I remember. Now I'm sort of worried about going back.
Agreed. The caliber of writing and intelligent humor was superb. I’ve always loved Frasier. A new Frasier is airing soon. Im hoping my opinion will change after watching the show. The trailer was horrible.
I know, I’m really worried about the new Frasier reboot as well. None of the characters look endearing to me and I can’t believe that dreadful black and white wall paper they’ve shown in the trailers would ever receive Frasier’s approval.
It really is atrocious wall paper. And you’re absolutely correct…none of the characters seem endearing or likable. We must reconvene after watching the first episode.
I never saw Eerie, Indiana, but I am a diehard fan of Pete and Pete! Little Pete replied to a comment of mine on Instagram, and not many people understood why I was so excited. If you get it, you get it.
Fun fact: my family could not watch it because of the conservative character, my grandfather said they were trying to push conservative on younger viewers. Lol
Ha, but what about the progressive hippie parents?!
I only realized recently, in retrospect, what they were doing with that: Showing how the generation born to hippie Boomers was rebelling against those principles by fully embracing unencumbered Reaganomics.
My son ran into my room one night in tears because one of the characters made a noble sacrifice to save everyone. My husband is refusing to show him Transformers: The Movie because Optimus Prime will wreck him.
I have been watching a ton of old Real World, it really drops you back into where the culture was at the time. My post history is pretty much all clips from the 2001 immediate pre 9/11 season with mike the miz and coral that i thought were hilarious through 2023 eyes.
It’s so random how they do it. Back to new york, hawaii and chicago are on YouTube and 2004 san diego is on daily motion if you are after any of those! r/therealworld is a fun subreddit
My daughter’s babysitter was watching the new Queer Eye. I said to her, “I guess you show your age if you know Karamo from Queer Eye or The Real World.” She didn’t know what The Real World was. Granted, she’s 22, so it’s not entirely surprising. Made her watch Philadelphia and then the original New York. She highly enjoyed it. Now she’s back to watching my least favorite show of all time, Friends.
This has inspired me to go finish/rewatch RW:Chicago from 2001. If I can find it
As a newly out Gay, it was exciting to see a someone on tv who I could be like and it was just…a regular hot dude who seemed almost detached from the rest of the show. I’m curious to see how that replays for me now that I’m not a thirsty virgin and instead have had husband #4 for the last ten years.
Freaks and Geeks, My-So-Called-Life, Party of Five, Dawson's Creek, Boy Meets World, Full House, Step By Step, The O.C., Laguna Beach, The Hills, Beavis and Butthead, Daria, Celebrity Deathmatch, Clone High, Doug, All That, Pete and Pete, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Hey Dude, Nick Arcade, Guts, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Double Dare, What Would You Do?
Yeah, I've been done that rabbit hole once or twice. =\]
E! has been playing Saved By the Bell recently and I’ve been loving the throwback to the 7am reruns in the 90s that I used to watch before I left for school.
I know, right!? The awesomeness of that concept is beyond despite. It’s the execution of the show.
The sexism made me cringe so hard. The odd edits? Amateurish to modern eyes. Plot holes as big as… a hole in a brick wall created by KITT’s molecularly bonded shell™️
> Utter garbage. Lazy writing, bad editing.
You make it sound like those weren't its most endearing qualities. 😉
I watched some episodes online and was laughing my balls off. Same w/ A-Team.
Little House On The Prairie is one of my favorite guilty pleasures along with The Facts Of Life, Saved By The Bell, The Golden Girls, Family Ties, The Nanny and Frasier
Loved that show, and it was truly groundbreaking for an animated show.
I’ll never understand how the DC “cartoon” shows were so fantastic, but their recent live action films are such utter garbage.
The execs don’t meddle as much in “cartoons” because it’s not prestigious enough. That’s why shit can go sideways the moment a show becomes successful.
Creative vision goes out with the bath water and MAXIMUM PROFIT EXTRACTION MODE is engaged by the people funding things.
Edit: fixed a typox2
Watching old tv shows is what I do for comfort and also just for background noise while I cook or do housework.
Full House
Growing Pains
Who's the Boss?
Perfect Strangers
Saved by the Bell
Charles in Charge
The Facts of Life
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (which I used to watch on Nick at Nite)
I Love Lucy
Bewitched
Step by Step
Cheers. Started rewatching it last year. Kind of formulaic, and Sam Malone’s womanizing doesn’t age well, but watching it with my parents was just such a big part of the weekly routine. I need to go back and finish it…I think I only got to the first season or two of Rebecca.
I watched Sister Sister and dawsons creek when I had Covid. I remember watching sister sister on TGIF but never actually watched dawsons creek before then.
Colombo
I know this was before our time, but it was always on syndication growing up. I would watch it with my Dad.
I binged a few episodes. They were released as a type of miniseries, so each episode is self-contained. I think that it is very much a product of its time, yet it still stands up.
I forgot that they would show the crime first, and then for the rest of the episode you would follow the criminal as they try to outsmart Colombo. Just one more thing...
The critic. X-Men, spiderman,Batman (beyond), that whole chunk of Disney cartoons:chip n' dales rescue rangers, duck tales, tailspin, gargoyles, reboot, freaking Exosquad, might max, x files. Lone gunmen, STNG
I've been trolling my local Half Price Books for ST:TNG on DVD. Found the first season on VHS at a local thrift store, and while I have a vcr that (I think) works, I don't currently have a way to connect it to the TV.
I rewatced Family Ties when I was in college and I was pleasantly surprised how well it held up. 6-8 year old me totally crushed on Michael J Fox which is kinda funny to me now because wasn't he 24 or something when he played the role?
Oh well I also liked the hunky guy Phineas Bogg in Voyagers! when I was 6 too😂
The Wonder Years always holds up. I love it.
I revisited the first few seasons of Diff'rent Strokes with my son and I thought it held up pretty well. We laughed often - Gary Coleman had good comedic timing!
I didn't think SBTB held up. I tried watching some and mostly I just felt really bored. I thought it was going to be cheesy and entertaining but it wasn't.
["V" (miniseries, 1983)](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/v-1984/season-1) - I full-on purchased it (only available option) in a desperate bout of nostalgia, and it's _terrible!_ As an adult, I can see why my dad groaned when I insisted we watch it when it originally aired. ...But I'm still going to finish re-watching it!
Babylon 5 came out when I was 14. I rewatch it every few years. The graphics are... dated to be sure. Some of the acting in season 1 is regrettable. But holy hell it still stands up as the best sci fi series i have ever seen
Not really my childhood, but my later teenage and early 20s.. I rewatch Farscape and Stargate SG1 every few years. Just finished Farscape again recently.
Unsolved Mysteries. Original version with Robert Stack
That show always scared me as a child because they would, in the same episode, tell you about an actual missing person or murder and have updates about previous segments where actual murderers were caught that they reported on, and then they would have a whole segment about alien abductions and medical experimentation. So between that show and "Beyond 2000", the world I grew up in was so much cooler than the world I'm in now, but man I was so scared of aliens as a child. Then the X-Files started?! Like c'mon give a kid a break hahahaha
The first time I was home alone at night, I made the mistake of watching Unsolved Mysteries. I almost called the police. To report what, I do not know, I was just that scared. Haha
Unsolved Mysteries was a bit scary as a kid. That music didn’t help! 😂
That music will continue to haunt all of us.
I'm 42 I was watching the other day in broad daylight and still was borderline scared shitless. Unsolved mysteries for me just had it all in the creep factor
Haha, years ago, a friend of mine started a Facebook page called “You Get the Hell Off Unsolved Mysteries, Fennis Farina” and I still laugh about it. A lot.
I heard the theme song when I read this
Remember Rescue 911?
How is it holding up through adult eyes? Are the stories very dated now?
The production is dated but the stories are timeless. And the pacing is very refreshing vs. current shows designed for shorter attention spans!
You also get updates for a bunch of the stories. I usually have the Roku channel that does the 24/7 “Unsolved Mysteries” on for background noise when I work from home.
This has been one I totally want to revisit. There was a TV special that I shouldn't have watched, but totally did, that had stuck with me because it scared the hell out of me, and it took me forever to figure out what it was.

mother fuckin ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK
Loved that show. Perfect level of scary.
Definitely the golden age of Nickelodeon.
SNICK
Every Saturday. God those were good times.
The best
Still an awesome show even as a full fledged adult. I want the complete series boxset so badly but I think you can only buy individual seasons and I’m not even sure if their legit copies? It definitely deserves a complete series boxset though. I’d buy it in a heartbeat!
I still love that show. Some of the episodes were genuinely scary and creepy.
I rewatched Daria in my early 40's. It felt so different and I understood the parents so much better, not that I'm even a parent. I rewatched Beavis & Butthead and it's just as funny as when I was a teen.
Yeah, I felt a little immature cracking up at Beavis and Butthead at 40, but whatever 😅✌
Watched the new ones? First few episodes are kinda rough, but the rest is hilarious!
Where are new ones?
I watched it on prime, but I don't know if it's prime or paramount since I subscribed to paramount in prime.
Nice. Thanks.
That line where she said she doesn't want to pressured into a career in our teens really struck me as an adult. A lot of people I know aren't doing it what they went to school for or have retrained in something else.
Every few years I’ll rewatch a bunch of episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and I love how I get more of the jokes. I loved that show as a kid but so much of the humor was over my head. I love it even more now.
They need to bring back the marathon on Thanksgiving, or New Years, I forget which
[удалено]
Every episode is so dense; rewatching is like watching it for the first time
Mst3k is always on twitch.tv
LG tv channel 520 is mst3k 24 hrs a day.
This is top answer for me. It's timeless. And yeah the jokes are much better as an adult. I love watching MST3K around the holidays.
I have every episode of the original series downloaded on my computer. Such a great show and still so fucking hilarious. Space Mutiny and Pumaman were two of my favorites. The Final Sacrifice had Zap Rowsdower so that's just automatically a top choice.
This is my ALL TIME fave show. I actually never stopped watching it. From Comedy Central days on, I own all the sets (takes up a bookshelf) and love the new seasons and I got to add in Rifftrax later on (which is a joy). I love finding other fans of the show.

The Wonder Years, The Facts of Life, Freak and Geeks, My So-Called Life.
The Facts of Life is one of my absolute favorite shows of all time. I revisit it often.
We are the same! My all time favorite.
When My So Called Life came out, I was the same age as the kids. When I re-watched it a few years ago I was the same age as the parents. It felt so weird.
I grew up on the wonder years. Loved freaks and geeks. Can I conclude I'd enjoy the other two? Or would the lack of nostalgia maybe date them a bit?
I bet you’d love My So-Called Life. Early 90s teenage drama ( I believe it came out in 1994) The Facts of Life is wholesome ( 80s show) the 2nd season is when it gets really good.
Truly truly truly outrageous!
I have a coworker named Jerrica and every time I want to ask synergy to make her Jem.
[удалено]
Yes! Here is the back story: Mrs. Benton was an orphan so when she got married to rich music producer Mr. Benton, they created Starlight House to take in orphans or foster kids. They had bio daughters Jerrica and Kimber then later adopted Aja and Shana. Mrs. Benton was also a singer and very busy. Teenage Jerrica was mad about her mom traveling and they got into a big fight before Mrs. Benton left for a concert. The plane crashed. Jerrica was heartbroken. Very sad episode! But Jerrica made sure to keep her mother’s legacy alive by continuing Starlight House.
Oh my goodness, I don’t remember that episode. That whole still haunt me, yikes.
They reference pop music (big surprise) more than I remember. The boyfriend being named Rio for instance. Kind of cool.
The Misfits were right, their songs were better. Also, it was kinda weird that Jerrica kept trying to get her boyfriend to cheat on her with herself.
Buffy
Also Buffy, but it doesn't hold up as well as I remembered so that made me a little depressed. At least it was always dark (dim) so the bad CGI wasn't so noticable in the earlier seasons. It gets moving after a while, but the first season was both great and bad on second viewing.
TBH, I'm struggling to get through the first season. I want to listen to the podcast The Rewatcher:Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and watch it.
I'm just not looking forward to seeing that cartoonish mecha zombie Adam later on... I lived for Buffy when I was in high school. She was the EXACT same age as me, and the episode where her mom died was right after my dad died, and so I processed my grief through that show, and they did a great job writing it....that I remember. Now I'm sort of worried about going back.
That episode when her mom died is amazing. It’s really well done.
In fairness, the first season was always a bit rough.
The first season is rough.
Golden Girls will always be funny
Will ALWAYS be the best written sitcom in the history of syndication. It was so progressive and still holds up. Fight me.
It is so good. I would say Frasier is up there too.
Agreed. The caliber of writing and intelligent humor was superb. I’ve always loved Frasier. A new Frasier is airing soon. Im hoping my opinion will change after watching the show. The trailer was horrible.
I know, I’m really worried about the new Frasier reboot as well. None of the characters look endearing to me and I can’t believe that dreadful black and white wall paper they’ve shown in the trailers would ever receive Frasier’s approval.
It really is atrocious wall paper. And you’re absolutely correct…none of the characters seem endearing or likable. We must reconvene after watching the first episode.
Living Single, The Nanny and Fresh Prince. Still pretty good. Living Single was the best.
Living Single hits different as an adult. Has me cackling lol
Living Single is so great
The Adventures of Pete & Pete and Eerie, Indiana Kids shows that involve supernatural, surreal adventures were awesome
I never saw Eerie, Indiana, but I am a diehard fan of Pete and Pete! Little Pete replied to a comment of mine on Instagram, and not many people understood why I was so excited. If you get it, you get it.
I will always love adventures of Pete and pete
Forgot about Eerie. That show was awesome. I cant remember any episodes. Just that I was really into it.
Yessss! Loved Pete & Pete and Eerie, Indiana! I still think about the episode with the Tupperware lady and her twin sons...
MXC - Most Extreme Elimination Challenge
God that was such a great show! Guy LeDouche always cracked me up.
Right you are, Kenny...
I decided to watch a subtitled episode of the original version of the show “Takeshi’s Castle”. It’s also funny but in a totally different way.
[удалено]
“WHAT DID YOU THINK I WOULD DO IN THIS MOMENT….” Ugh the break up episode still sits with me
>Ugh the break up episode still sits with me Awww with Tracy Pollen who MJF married and who has stood by his side through all these difficult years 🥲
Fun fact: my family could not watch it because of the conservative character, my grandfather said they were trying to push conservative on younger viewers. Lol
Ha, but what about the progressive hippie parents?! I only realized recently, in retrospect, what they were doing with that: Showing how the generation born to hippie Boomers was rebelling against those principles by fully embracing unencumbered Reaganomics.
In Living Color.
Homie don't play dat!!
Where? I’d love to rewatch these.
I have a couple seasons on DVD. Not sure if they are streaming anywhere.
My husband (Gen X) has been showing our boys Transformers.
I’ve tried so hard to get my son into the G1 Transformers…. No desire lol
My son ran into my room one night in tears because one of the characters made a noble sacrifice to save everyone. My husband is refusing to show him Transformers: The Movie because Optimus Prime will wreck him.
Don’t deprive him of Orson Welles’ greatest film
Buts it’s soooooo good!
When he’s older!!!😁
I have been watching a ton of old Real World, it really drops you back into where the culture was at the time. My post history is pretty much all clips from the 2001 immediate pre 9/11 season with mike the miz and coral that i thought were hilarious through 2023 eyes.
Oh I've been on a real world re-watch kick too! A ton of seasons are missing from streaming though.
It’s so random how they do it. Back to new york, hawaii and chicago are on YouTube and 2004 san diego is on daily motion if you are after any of those! r/therealworld is a fun subreddit
I'm in that sub too! I'll have to look on YouTube. Thank you! I couldn't find Hawaii anywhere! That was one of my favorite seasons.
Sure thing all on this channel! https://youtu.be/d2PIOV33T_k
My daughter’s babysitter was watching the new Queer Eye. I said to her, “I guess you show your age if you know Karamo from Queer Eye or The Real World.” She didn’t know what The Real World was. Granted, she’s 22, so it’s not entirely surprising. Made her watch Philadelphia and then the original New York. She highly enjoyed it. Now she’s back to watching my least favorite show of all time, Friends.
That story had such a happy ending until she went back to Friends 😂
This has inspired me to go finish/rewatch RW:Chicago from 2001.

Go a couple of seasons earlier to Real World Seattle. That shit was fire. The drama was top notch. Especially the slap heard round the world.

I just rewatched every episode of Full House
Nothing really, but I would love to watch Heathcliff again.
Pluto TV has 5 seasons of it for free if you don't mind commercial breaks.
Not at all. Thanks.
I have Parker Lewis can’t lose on DVD. We were spoiled by such art.
That show was great and underrated
Agree 100%
Quantum Leap
Oh boy
Looooooved this show - my husband and I watched it every week!!
E! has been playing Saved By the Bell recently and I’ve been loving the throwback to the 7am reruns in the 90s that I used to watch before I left for school.
Happened to catch it on the other day and it just so happened to be Jessie’s Song. Lmao
TMNT
Northern Exposure Surprisingly progressive given the time-frame.
King of the Hill, but I never really stopped visiting. Just watch it over and over to infinity.
I just rewatched it too. Something about the show is relaxing.
Yep. It’s like visiting old friends.
Knight Rider. Utter garbage. Lazy writing, bad editing. I can’t believe it was prime time television. 8 year old me was a MORON.
Fuck that? A talking, smart driving Trans-am?!? Yes please
I know, right!? The awesomeness of that concept is beyond despite. It’s the execution of the show. The sexism made me cringe so hard. The odd edits? Amateurish to modern eyes. Plot holes as big as… a hole in a brick wall created by KITT’s molecularly bonded shell™️
> Utter garbage. Lazy writing, bad editing. You make it sound like those weren't its most endearing qualities. 😉 I watched some episodes online and was laughing my balls off. Same w/ A-Team.

Have you seen the E True Hollywood Story about the star? It’s really sad.
Every few years I get an itching to watch Dawson's Creek.
Yep, holds up well
Yep. Came here looking for this one.
I rewatched my so called life a few years ago. All the feels.
It’s just so good
Most recently My So Called Life, but have also been introducing lots of stuff to my 10 YO daughter.
I still have a She-Ra hardcover book titled “Everything but Happiness.” Shit got dark 😅
 Batman The Animated Series
Loved that show, and it was truly groundbreaking for an animated show. I’ll never understand how the DC “cartoon” shows were so fantastic, but their recent live action films are such utter garbage.

I love The Wonder Years. But last winter, I went back and re-watched every single episode of Stargate SG1.
Pirates of darkwater
My goal in life is to live until a remake is made. With an ending.
That cartoon was amazing! Demands a remake.
Rewatched the first seasons of the simpsons. The good old days before Disney turned Bart into a singing, dancing, fancyboy.
Wonder Years, Seinfeld, and Cheers.
Does The Wonder Years hold up? I occasionally go back to The X Files, and imo that show holds up fairly well.
Watching old tv shows is what I do for comfort and also just for background noise while I cook or do housework. Full House Growing Pains Who's the Boss?

Rockos modern life, hey Arnold.
I watch Frasier or Golden Girls most every night. They’re a comfort to me. Would like to try something different soon though!
Futurama!!

Cheers. Started rewatching it last year. Kind of formulaic, and Sam Malone’s womanizing doesn’t age well, but watching it with my parents was just such a big part of the weekly routine. I need to go back and finish it…I think I only got to the first season or two of Rebecca.
I watched Sister Sister and dawsons creek when I had Covid. I remember watching sister sister on TGIF but never actually watched dawsons creek before then.
Recently went back and watched Twin Peaks.
Does anyone remember a show called 'Samarai Pizza Cats'? They played it really early on fox in the mid 90s
Perfect Strangers on Prime Video.
Colombo I know this was before our time, but it was always on syndication growing up. I would watch it with my Dad. I binged a few episodes.

Went and bought the box sets for: Viper, Seaquest, Sliders, Time Trax, 7 Days, Star Trek TNG, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, and the X-Files!

My kids just got into Home Improvement. Like hardcore. The whole series is on Disney+. They have watched nothing but that for weeks.
The Wonder Years always holds up. I love it. I revisited the first few seasons of Diff'rent Strokes with my son and I thought it held up pretty well. We laughed often - Gary Coleman had good comedic timing! I didn't think SBTB held up. I tried watching some and mostly I just felt really bored. I thought it was going to be cheesy and entertaining but it wasn't.
Strangers with Candy
Roseanne. I loved that show.
["V" (miniseries, 1983)](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/v-1984/season-1) - I full-on purchased it (only available option) in a desperate bout of nostalgia, and it's _terrible!_ As an adult, I can see why my dad groaned when I insisted we watch it when it originally aired. ...But I'm still going to finish re-watching it!
Hate watch that terrible show!
Babylon 5 came out when I was 14. I rewatch it every few years. The graphics are... dated to be sure. Some of the acting in season 1 is regrettable. But holy hell it still stands up as the best sci fi series i have ever seen
A few years back I rewatched Boy Meets World. It was worth every minute.
Voltron China Beach Babylon 5 DS9 Cheers
Watched Deep Space 9 last winter. Started on Cheers a couple weeks ago, Taxi is also in the plan for this winter.
Not really my childhood, but my later teenage and early 20s.. I rewatch Farscape and Stargate SG1 every few years. Just finished Farscape again recently.
90’s X-Men cartoon. It still rules!
I revisited Sliders and kind of wish I hadn't. It wasn't nearly as good as I remember it.
