DAILY PROMPT RESPONSE
Lately, I’ve gotten into the habit of overthinking each of the challenges I usually participate in here on WordPress. So, when I read this challenge, I decided to explore all the television programs I could remember from my youth. I used AI to assist with this project, and of course, AI started repeating television shows. So, I had to rely on my memory. So, here are the television shows I can remember watching as a kid. This list only includes only the television shows that I enjoyed.

I only listed 50 shows; I figured that was enough. I actually got close to nearly 75 shows. I think this is as much a memory exercise as anything else. It was fun reminiscing about my youth. One thing that occurred to me was that I watched too much television.
Memoirs of Madness 
I definitely remember watching a good number of those shows. A few of the ones you listed didn’t quite tickle my fancy, but that’s beside the point. With the exception of MASH, and maybe a few others, so many of them just don’t hold up anymore. I’ve tried watching a few of them on Tubi or other free services, and all I can think for most of them is “How did I ever watch that and like it?”
