What shows you disliked as child

[kat77]

I used to look at shows that parent like but I couldn't stand...like Knight Rider, Bob Newhart show and etc.

What about you?

We had more than one tv, so we were lucky. I remember my dad laying on the couch sleeping and my sister and I would sneak and turn the channel. All of the sudden he would say, " I was watching that." We were so thankful when we got a second tv and could watch our own shows.

I really can't remember any shows that I didn't like as a kid~ just the news.

Yes we would fight to see who would watch what on TV. I hated some of the stuff my mom would choose. My kids are lucky they have their own TV

When I was a kid it seems like everything on TV was good, but then, I was usually outside playing. Check out the link at the bottom of this page. You can see what was on the TV schedule for pretty much any year.

Well, I'm still a young guy, but I wasn't keen at all on The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Classics, yes, but I didn't really like them all that much. I wasn't too big on most superhero cartoons, but I did love the Batman animated series.

I didn't like ANY of the comic franchise cartoons. I even prefer the campy Batman shows over the cartoons.

My mother loved The Lawrence Welk Show and for the most part I hated it; then I grew up and loved it, so go figure!

Oh crud! I take back what I said in my earlier post. The Lawrence Welk show immediately sent me into depression. It had the same affect as the Gong Show on me.

I hated everything about Eight is Enough and Mash!!!!! Just hearing the song from Mash is like the grinding of nails against a chalk board.

Ever looked up the lyrics to the Mash theme?

The song is called "Suicide is Painless" Suicide Is Painless - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Google "lyrics suicide is painless" and there are even Youtube of people singing the lyrics. One of those things I never even knew until 2 decades later

Right, that show is about the misery of war, set in a "meatball surgery" hospital. Antics are done by a few of the doctors, in an effort to break the drudgery of their solemn task. I liked it, even though some of the jokes were a bit out of my grasp at the time.

Never new that. Robert Altman's son was 14 when he composed it?? Some pretty crazy info in the Wiki article,

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in the 1980s, Robert Altman said that his son earned more than a million dollars for co-writing the song while he only made $70,000 for directing the movie.

It was a time shifted parody on Vietnam also. That show had a huge following out of my age group. Lucky I missed going with a lottery number of 263. Many of my buddies were not so lucky, and still are not "normal" decades later.

I wondered for years what they saw. I no longer want to know.

On a lighter note! Eight is Enough totally inhaled canal water through the dorsal orifice.

Maybe but any self respecting duck would leave if the smiley guy started doing that!

An interesting question. I watched a TON of TV as a child. And obviously watched what I liked. My dad watched a lot of golf (which I still find boring) and my brother actually liked watching bowling (what a goob).

I believe that the movie played the version with the lyrics, but I don't recall the TV show ever playing the original version.
