TV Shows that rotted your brain
Give us the TV shows you watched when you were a kid. I really did a TFP search this time, and I didn't find this thread anywhere.

"Green Acres" really was a time waster!!! Yikes it was BAD.
But even worse was "Gilligans Island!" (I was very young when I watched these, but forgive me, cuz I was a latchkey kid.)

Does anybody old like me remember a LOST-style show in the very late 60's that featured a bunch of young people crashed on a deserted island? I remember it came on right after a musical-type show with David Steinberg, but I can't find the names of either show.

We only had a satellite dish and an antenna when I was very young, so until I was 6 or so, my television watching was pretty limited. However, there was one show we watched no matter what...

LMFAO. I'm getting flashbacks. Somehow it I think that Rita (the Power Ranger Rita that is) was channelling Witchy-Poo.
Now: Every Saturday Night, during HNIC (Hockey Night in Canada) we would get a segment called Peter Puck. Here's the 1974 inaugural edition: Recently it has been updated. Here is the 2009 edition:

I love Rocket Robin Hood.
It was produced by the same company that did Spider-Man I also liked watching this: The power of Mighty ISIS Shazam! Wonder Bug! Electra Woman and Dyna Girl! Dr. Shrinker!

I remember Wonderbug, the guy on that show was like the anti-McGyver!
"i can get us out of this mess - all I need is a dozen donuts, a pound of spam and the Albanian Roller Derby team!" here's Patrick Duffy before he became Bobby Ewing (who?): How could we've forgotten this classic sci-fi show: plus this oldie I remember from saturday mornings:

The Starlost! when I saw Charlatan's Ark II submission I immediately thought of Starlost. so campy, who were the characters? Garth? Devon? the girl? Can't remember. But I thought that the ship's name was the Ark.
Harlan Ellison had some input to the show

The girl was Rachel played by Gay Rowan (I had such a crush on her!) and Devon was played by Keir Dullea (fresh from playing the lead in 2001), and Garth was played by Robin Ward, who went on to host the game show "Guess What?"
 here's some classic cartoons I remember: Does anyone remember a British sci-fi show about a group of people who could teleport with some device in their belt buckles? I can remember this one scene where one of them is sitting on a bridge and some police yell at him, so he jumps off, and half-way to the water he teleports. I can vaguely remember another British show about a family that lives in a restored workhouse and the ghost of one of the workhouse boys is friends with the children.

With the wonderful world of OZ was always paired The New Adventures of Pinocchio.

On Nickelodeon in the 80's, I watched Canadian exports of "You Can't Do That On Television", "The Edison Twins", "Degrassi Junior High" and "Degrassi High".

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ---------- I can't find video for it but Rocketship 7 was what great local TV was all about Rocketship 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  The Commander Tom Show - another kids show The Friendly Giant Mr. Dressup "Keep your cayons sharp, your sticky tape untagled and always put the caps back on your markers" - Good Advice from the man himself.
