What's the oldest TV show (s) you grew up watching since a young age?

For me:

Growing Pains, Step By Step, Small Wonder, Cheers, Brady Bunch, Who's The Boss, and many more

... Mostly 80s/90s shows and little of older 70s and earlier ones I believe

Definitely watched most of those you mentioned. I go back slightly earlier though, so excluding educational children’s programming like Sesame Street, The Electric Company, etc, I’d say my first “favorite show” was You Can’t Do That On Television on Nickelodeon, probably around five years old.

It was just Canadian kids doing sketch comedy. It had recurring characters, and then were “real life” on-set interactions between the actors and the director Ross. But the big gimmick was the green slime. If someone was “tricked” (totally scripted lmao) into saying “I don’t know”, that would trigger a bucket of green slime to come pouring down from above them. Also, if you said “water”, the same would happen with water. If you said “water” after getting slimed for an “I don’t know”, that’s just a savvy veteran move right there👍

The third girl getting slimed at the ten second mark is actually Alanis Morrisette😝

The Lone Ranger from the 1950's and Lassie, also from the '50's. They were only reruns, of course, when I saw them in the '70's.
