Childhood Nostalgia

There's one thing that unites the vast majority of people from my generation. We loved our TV. It doesn't matter what race, religion, and socioeconomic background we came from, we all had our quality shows. I almost feel bad for kids nowadays because I see very few shows that measure up. Most of them were funny, clean, and even educational at times.

As my roommate and I were reminiscing late the other night about our favorite shows, I realized that we all watched a lot of tv. So since I couldn't go to bed that night and didn't want to read (and I love making lists), I wrote down my favorite, and not so favorite shows. I seriously wonder how I also did piano, soccer, softball, 4-H, sewing lessons, the minimal school we had, etc, etc while watching this all. Maybe this is how I became such a multi-tasker.
