I didn't watch too many TV shows growing up, mostly just PBS because that was the channel we had. I was more into video games, playing outside, and just imagining stuff for myself. I don't know how to type that without sounding like a snob--I just have a hard time focusing on TV for long stretches, so I never had that Saturday morning cartoon experience. I mostly watched TV either when I was sick or right after school, when I was overstimulated from the day and needed to decompress.
As a very young child, 3-6 or so, I liked Clifford the Big Red Dog and Sesame Street. From ages 6-9, I liked Liberty's Kids, Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat, Zoom, and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. (I was vaguely aware that I was "old" for Mr. Rogers but I found the calmness and the routine of the show very comforting.)
But my absolute FAVORITE show was the animated PBS rendition of Redwall and its sequel shows, Mattimeo and Martin the Warrior. The theme song for Redwall is still top notch, honestly. I learned to play it on my guitar when I was in high school.
Mine was Avatar: The Last Airbender. I was so captivated by its world, characters, and story. I remember spending all day over a weekend watching a marathon to catch up on all the episodes I missed and then finally sat down to watch the finale the night it aired. The final fight and ending blew my 6 year old mind. Just a few years ago I picked up the complete series remastered on Blu-Ray and I couldn't be happier.
