I disagree. As a kid I came home from school, grabbed a snack and watched Flintstones and Gilligan's Island. Then I went out and did stuff outside until dinner. I wouldn't put either of those shows in my top 5. I remember watching Different Strokes with my parents, but again, not much more and wouldn't put it in my Top 5!

I played three sports a year in High School. Not a lot of time to watch TV. Saturday's were spent recovering from football while watching College Football most of the day with my buddies. Again, Cheers was all I remember really being into.

College? Come on, so much more to do. Even later in life. I worked two jobs or went to school and had a job basically from college in 1991 until 1997. I remember an awful lot of good times, but not many in front of a TV. You want my favorite moment watching TV back then it would probably be the Huskies beating Nebraska in Nebraska, or one of the Rose Bowl wins!

Today? You can stream, and watch when ever you want. Not to mention the quality is better. Jaws was a fantastic movie. But that Shark? Watch Deep Blue Sea from the early 2000s. No comparison. And CGI and Special Effects have only gotten better since that movie came out.

The Shows on my list make sense to me. Nothing about my Childhood or early adult years take me back to sitting in front of a TV set....besides live sporting events and Cheers.
