THIRTEEN TV SHOWS I GREW UP WITH
- MacGyver - I can’t forget how MacGyver always has something to come up with even in most impossible situations!
- Three’s Company - I love John Ritter’s humor. So sad that he has to die so young.
- Miami Vice - the original is always the best.
- Small Wonder - dreamed of having a robot as a sister after being an only girl in the family for almost 14 years.
- Remington Steele - Pierce Brosnan never aged a day after this TV series. I thought he looked so good together with co-star Stephanie Zimbalist. Too bad they are not real life partners.
- The A-Team - didn’t you love these bunch of toughies?
- The Cosby Show - a good laugh, every time.
- The Wonder Years - Now who would never miss this?
- Punky Brewster - funky show I loved.
- Quantum Leap - a good detective story every week!
- The Love Boat - I imagine being in a cruise ship everytime I see this show.
- Growing Pains - I watched the reruns when I was one bored soul in Japan years ago. Still entertains me.
- Beverly Hills 90210 - watched the show with parental guidance. Immensely enjoyed the no-parent-present reruns years later.
Do you remember any of these shows?



I love McGuyver, Wonder Years and Beverly Hills…
Also love watching Doggie Howser MD ..
I sometimes watched Miami Vice and 21 Jump Street..
Small Wonder is familiar , but I can’t remember if Ive watched it though

One great time-travel. The A-Tm, Miami Vice, Quantum Leap. Bullseye! Me and my sisters love Growing Pains a lot. We love it.

I remember wanting to stay up and watch Fantasy Island after The Love Boat, but it didn’t end until 10pm and was deemed too late and too grownup.

It is funny to me that we grew up in totally different parts of the world, yet we watched the exact same shows!
Good list!
ON a side note, my brother had a part as an extra in The Wonder Years. They asked him to come play soccer (football) with Kevin.

I watched every single one of those shows at least a few times, and most of them I watched all the time

I so love MacGyver. Maybe it was the hair.. maybe it was the cute smile.. or his sense of humor.. maybe it was his hot bod! Maybe it was because he could get out any situation without the use of guns… Now I have the theme song running through my head… THANKS!

OK—I always thought Reminton Steele was a hoot. Like you, I thought they made a handsome couple!

Of those MacGyver and Quantum Leap I could probably watch today. I saw some reruns of the A-Team recently and it didn’t seem as fun as it used to unfortunately.

I remember all of these, but didn’t watch all of them. #7, 8, 9 and 12 were very popular with my family though.
Thanks for visiting my TT!

Among these TV shows, I only watched MacGyver. I was sort of more exposed to local TV shows like Batibot and Ang TV.

Just remembered all these shows! I love MacGyver- I wonder how the guy could bail out from the worst situation!… You forgot to write too Doggie Howser- Loved his show… And ofcourse there’s ‘The Wonder Years” and the wholesome value-laden Cosby Show. We also grew up watching Ninja Turtles, He-Man, Thunder Cats, Afternoon Disney cartons. We can’t escape these cartons because we are outnumbered by the male siblings in the house!… Nice list- brought back childhood memories.

We must be around the same age as I grew up with many of those great shows too.
