    I played Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego, and Mo's list has stuff I know on it! I loved Full House and Boy Meets World too and I watched Home Improvement with my dad, who is pretty much a less-disaster-prone Tim Allen in real life which is I think why he liked it so much.

    Tangent: Later on, I remember my dad watching That 70s Show and saying "No, no, never mind Home Improvement, THIS was my life! I was Eric Foreman!" to my mom and I. He was in his mid-teens at the beginning of the 70s and he's never identified so closely with a TV character, it's pretty cute.

    I've never seen a TV character I felt that way about, but I do think that the movie Superbad was probably the closest thing to my high school experience (barring the McLovin stuff, haha.) I feel like I knew those guys and they showed up at my friends' parties.

    Full House
    Family Matters

    Step by Step
    Home Improvement (Jonathan Taylor Thomas was my TV boyfriend)
    Tales From The Crypt
    Fraggle Rock
    Dinosaurs (Not the Mama)
    Hey Dude
    Darkwing Duck
    Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
    BH 90210
    Roseanne
    Boys Meets World (How hot did Topanga grow up?!)



    This is not a complete list, my brain just can't think of anything else right now. I may have been allowed to watch a little too much TV growing up.

    This is my list too...

    I loved the TGIF set of shows. Oh Perfect Strangers was another show I liked as well.

    I loved Perfect Strangers! I wish they still had TGIF and things like that. The stuff they have now is SO lame.

    I loved perfect strangers too!

    And speaking of old computer games, anyone else have "computer lab day" in school where your class got to go down to the computer room to play Oregon Trail on floppy disk??

    Yes, Oregon Trail was the best game ever..until you died of cholera. ...

    I never heard of that one. Though I remember floppy disks!

    Yes, I remember and used to watch all of those. Punky Brewster, not so much. I was more of an ABC kid in those days.

    Yes, and I almost always died of dysentery.

    I remember explaining what the meant to my daughter. After our conversation she says, "So you basically poop yourself to death?!" Yep, pretty much.

    Haha!! It's even worse than drowning while fording the river!

    What was the show where they would let a kid loose in Toys 'R Us and they basically have 30 seconds to get as much awesome stuff in their cart as they can?
    I don't think it was the main point of the show as much as it was some kind of bonus thing at the end.
    Man...which show was that on??

    If we're going with childhood favorites, where are my teenage mutant ninja turtles lovers at?

    He-Man!
    Smurfs
    Snorks
    Ren and Stimpy

    My sister and I used to get in knock-down drag-out fights after school because I wanted to watch Scooby Doo and she wanted to watch Mr Rogers. Mom made us take turns.

    To add to this list:
    Gem
    Rocko's Modern Life
    Tiny Toons
    Thundercats

    Does anyone remember Garbage Pail Kids?!

    Loved it!

    And for the younger gang, my kids were always watching:

    CatDog
    Rugrats
    Hey Arnold
    What was that dare thing where everybody always got covered in slime?

    Lizzy McGuire
    Even Stevens

    I loved Even Stevens!!

    Going a little more old school than that...

    Anyone watch Pete and Pete? Salute Your Shorts?

    More shows I watched (some I vaguely remember watching)

    Eureka's Castle (I know I watched this one growing up, but can't remember much about it)
    Salute Your Shorts
    Hey Dude
    Punky Brewster
    Blossom
    Mickey Mouse Club (the one with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Britney Spears, & Ryan Gosling was even on the show)
    Mama's Family (it's funny that Betty White plays the daughter when she's older)
    Growing Pains

    I remember going to the babysitter's house & she would watch all the old game shows on the Game Show Network like Match Game (that host looked & acted so pervy), Name That Tune, & To Tell The Truth. I'm pretty sure she watched Price Is Right every morning too.
