    What did you watch on TV as a child?

    We started with a small black and white and can remember when we got a color – such excitement!  What did you watch as a kid?   Pam and Ellen detail the shows that filled their living room below.  This felt like this was going to be a boring post.  TV was not a big part of my childhood.  I do not remember it being on often although I do remember certain special events.
