Ha ha, I totally remember you loving "Boy Meets World". It is a good one, and all the boys were in love with Tapenga (sp?) and her curvy body. My most definite favorites on that list, "Who's the Boss", "Charles In Charge", "Saved By the Bell". When Tom and I are lying in bed at night I love to randomly bust out with "Thank you for being a friend...dah,dah,dah,dah...." (Golden Girls). He already knows I'm crazy! And oh my gosh to "Small Wonder". "I'm Vicki, the robot." Ah man, thanks for the good laugh this morning!
Holy cow! And I thought I watched a lot of TV!
And I will now be singing the Growing Pains song the rest of the day. Thanks for that...
Saved by the Bell is my all-time favorite. I still see episodes every once in awhile and can tell you in less than 2 seconds which episode it actually is:) Boy Meets World was definitely high on my list. And what about Sweet Valley High?!
I watched a lot of the same ones you did: Family Ties, Golden Girls, Silver Spoons (did everyone have those black jelly bracelets that Ricky Schroder wore at your school, too?), Who's the Boss, Growing Pains. But I don't remember Out of This World or Small Wonder. Once I got to high school I really didn't watch a lot of tv during the week, I was too busy.
I did make time for Johnny Depp on Sunday nights and 21 Jump Street. My friends and I even did the little thing they do in a huddle at the end. Reruns were on a few years ago and it cracked me up that those guys could ever be considered high school students! For your viewing pleasure:

I didn't watch all of those- but I did like Saved by the Bell & Boy Meets World. Duck Tales too. I liked that show on Nickelodeon called Doug. I watched that a lot. And your missing Goosebumps. My all time favorite show!
I liked a bunch of those shows, but the one I was most excited about in your list was "Out of this World." When I ask people if they remember that one and I describe it, nobody knows what I'm talking about. But that was a great show! With a great theme song, too. In fact, my little boy now wants to hear that song over and over again.
You and I come from the same generation...as you listed all the shows I watched (and miss). They just don't make tv the way the used to. I miss TGIF television. Those used to the GREATS!
P.S. I haven't looked for them in a while..but you used to be able to watch reruns of Night Court and Boy Meets World on some of the cable channels.
That's a very complete list. Wow. To think I watched most (or all) of those. And, like you said, these days I know like 10 shows - and 9 of them are for toddlers. I just had to click on Dance of Joy and Out of This World for the good ol' memories.
Growing pains and saved by the bell are at the top of my list.
Tell me why ... I love you like I do.
I love TV theme shows.
What's fun is to download them and make a party game of trying to be the first one to guess the theme song ... put some really obscure shows in for fun ... some game shows ... some soaps. We've had a blast doing this!
I bet I'm the only other person in the world who remembered Empty Nest was after Golden Girls. Crazy.
