I remember the Gummy Bears tune, but I have no recollection of the actual show. I really liked watching Out of This World. You know where the girl was part alien and part human and could stop time. I've always wanted to stop time. Wouldn't that be awesome. You wake up to your alarm, still tired, you stop time and sleep till you are done. Basically, I want Hiro's ability. Then I could always travel through space in an instant to see my family, and never have to pay for airfare. It would be wonderful!

now I feel old - especially when people say "childhood" and then talk about the Fox network, which was born AFTER my childhood.

Ok, favorite show from childhood. If we go back to CHILDhood and not TEENhood, I would have to say StarBlazers, Hogan's Heros, Happy Days, the Rifleman, Three's Company, Battlestar Galactica

Teenhood: A-Team, Knight Rider, Spencer for Hire, MacGuyver, Star Trek (Original, in repeats of course) - of course, back then we only had 3 networks to choose from, and some syndicated stuff on the 2 or 3 local fuzzy UHF stations.

I loved MacGuyver.

My aunt loved that show, but I think it was largely due to the fact that she had a huge crush on Richard Dean Anderson. ;)

You know....for some reason I have never seen an episode of MacGyver. My parents never watched it and I was never introduced to it. So I am lacking a lot of culture.

(I have a similar cultural void when it comes to James Bond....never seen a single Bond movie.)

On my mission in Portugal I had the opportunity to see MacGyver dubbed into Spanish, broadcast from Spain.  It was bizarre to hear the deep Castillian accent coming from Macgyver.

Yeah I missed the whole MacGyver thing. Never seen it.

The A-Team is a differnt story thoug. Oh man was that show awesome. "Have a glass of milk"

My mom would watch MacGyver when I was younger. I'm pretty sure I liked the show, but that was probably over 15 years ago, so I can't be sure....

I don't think I've seen most of the shows already mentioned....I watched shows like Growing Pains, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles....And I'm embarrased to admit that for a time I was a fan of Power Rangers (although, to give me some credit, I was only 6 when it came out....). And then there was a sci-fi called Sliders that my bros and I would watch all the time. It was cool...

Ah, yes, power rangers.  Puts me in the mind of really hot days in vegas and pogs.  Did everyone else do pogs?  (And does anyone else still have some of their pogs.  I still have like all of the collectable power ranger ones)
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

I remember pogs. The last time I was home, my sister and I were looking for my brother's pog collection...We couldn't find it, which was sad. I think he gave them away or something...the hoser.

OMG POGS!

I used to have the Pog Maker Machine thingy. I'd make hundreds of Pogs from pictures in my Nintendo Power magazines. Sadly I have no clue what happened to all of them.  :(

I didn't do Pogs, but my little brother did.

I did Magic: the Gathering.  But then again, I AM the geek in the family. :)

Yeah, I did Pogs AND Magic: The Gathering, so I feel the geek love.  :D

Can't touch my Elf deck. Wellwisher FTW.

Had four of those babies, along with an enchantment that let me untap them and tap them again in the same round, as well as four special land enchantments that let me do the same thing. Yeah, I won by just having 200+ life and the other person ran out of cards.  :D
