I adored Hogan's Heroes growing up! Others I loved were Bewitched, I dream of Jeannie, Brady Bunch. I'm sure they all come on today though on some obscure channel.

My favorite one my boys watched was He-Man!! By the Power of Greyskull!!!
 
As a kid I remember watching Fred Penner. Im not too sure how the show starts but it's something about this dude crawling trough a tree truck and he ends up in some special foresty make believe area and he has a guitar. Or am I getting two shows mixed up?! Guh don't know anymore but nevertheless I loved it!
 
HR Pufnstuff, the Kroft superstar hour, the bugaloos, the Monkeys, the Partridge family, Lost in Space - good clean fun!

Are you asking about shows we watched as kids. . . or shows our kids used to watch and have outgrown?

i haven't thought about some of these shows in years~ (some of these are more tween shows, not kids!)
*Brady Bunch
*Different Strokes
*we used to get up early on Sat. mornings to watch Smurfs! hehehe!
*the Cosby Show
*the Facts of Life
my brothers used to watch He-Man and the Heroes of the Universe EVERY day after school! too funny!
 
I answered this earlier but the site froze...hhhmmm...loved Brady Bunch, Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie reruns...Facts of Life, Different Strokes, Charlie's Angels, Love Boat, Fantasy island, and CHiPs. I also loved the kid shows Kroft Superstars show and Land of the Lost...
 
omgosh! my pet monster! i haven't thought about that in forever.

i miss the Muppet Show the most!
and the Care Bears . . . the Smurfts . . . Alf . . . Inspector Gadget
oh and Three's Company!
 
I meant shows when we were little, I'm not good with my wording. It must be the french in me LOL!!

Loved Polka Dot Door, I dream of Jeannie, Muppet Show

One thing I couldn't stand that my parents always put on was Looney Tunes *OMG HATED IT*
 
Jem, She-ra, He-Man, The Gummi Bears, Snorks, Smurfs...so many...even the ones from my middle school years like Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers and Daria...

Then of course Pound Puppies, My Little Pony, Care Bears...but not the current versions of those shows...the OG's baby!!
 
DEF not the current versions of cartoons, my 8 year old was making her Christmas list yesterday and wanted my little ponies and looked at them online and said "OMG what happened to them, they are soooo ugly" and quickly changed her mind on getting them.
 
I miss Different Strokes, Silver Spoons, Punky Brewster, Facts of Life, etc.

I love cartoons and I still watch a lot of the oldies. My kids love Scooby Doo and I am cool with that. Rooby Rooby Rooooo!
