Watching The Dukes of Hazzard was the first show I ever remember watching. I hated Dallas because it came on right after, and I knew that meant it was my bedtime.

If it was the second season I was only six so I probably just thought it was the first episode. I'd never seen it before then.

Dukes/Dallas was probably the best one-two punch ever!

Sinbad...a cartoon shown by Johnny's Follies in New Orleans. I remember the first airings of The Green Hornet. Kato (Bruce Lee) was my hero when i was at around 3 or 4 years old. I was flipping my chums onto the ground until one of them jumped up and punched out my two front teeth.

Used to watch Morgus the Magnificent, too.

Old Godzilla movies on Sunday mornings before church

Gilligan's Island reruns after school

Romper Room, Captain Kangaroo and Buckskin Bill

And for some reason, I can remember my teacher bringing a TV into the classroom for us to watch the Howard Johnson's sniper incident in NO as it unfolded

Uses to lay in the floor in front the TV so I could reach up and turn the dial with my toes.

Miami Vice is my earliest memory of TV. I remember USA also playing a lot of reruns of Miami Vice after the show finished after 5 seasons.

also watched a lot of Unsolved Mysteries too.

I remember watching the old Batman show on USA around the time the 89 Batman movie came out. Watched the Chucky movies and Duckman on there too. USA used to be a fun channel. I haven't watched it in 15 years.

My family moved to Dubai when I was 6 weeks old. The only American television we got was whatever family in the States would videotape and mail to us. So, my earliest tv memories would have to be watching recorded episodes of The Price I Right, Battle of the Planets episodes in some foreign language, and a whole bunch of Looney Toons.

The earliest thing I can remember I think was the live Garth Brooks concert.

Watching Wile E. Coyote cartoons on Saturday mornings with my Peepaw in the early 80's.

I watched "Transformers: Beast Wars" when I was a kid. I also loved Dragonball Z. I remember being so confused when they suddenly started showing really old episodes one week. The season was over... Had no clue. Happened multiple times before I began to understood a concept that I still hate to this day.

Lot of old folk in here. I can only imagine when I'm that age and the little whipper snappers are talking about the teeny boopers who dress like whores on Nick/Disney that currently airs today.
