Let's see...

Cartoons: Looney Tunes (Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner Show, etc), Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, Star Blazers, Spiderman and Friends, Josey and the Pussycats, Superfriends, Transformers (when my brothers weren't looking; I supposedly "hated" that show - lol), He-Man, Saturday Supercade (the CHEESY Saturday morning cartoon starring videogame characters), Pac-Man (a CHEESIER cartoon featuring...um, look at the title)...and a few more which I can't think of at the moment.

TV shows: Knight Rider, Misfits of Science (which sadly only last for one season), V (ditto), Buck Rogers, Gilligan's Island, Taxi, The Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk, The Three Stooges (reruns - duh), The A-Team, Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers (occasionally), Night Court, Star Trek: The Next Generation (I was in high school/college at that point, though).

I haven't watched much television since most all of those TV series went off the air. The only series I followed in the 90's was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (and the last couple years of TNG). I hated most of the sitcoms in the 90's, and the ones out today SUCK!

Hrm, some from before my time, that I watched in reruns:
Get Smart, Mr. Ed, Batman, Superman, Little Rascals.

A few more from my school days: Space:1999, Mission Impossible, The Jeffersons, Sanford & Son, Barney Miller.

I remember the first time I saw TNG. I was in the Marines, and in a bar. I looked up at the TV, and thought "WTF is a Klingon doing on the bridge?"

They actually have re runs of Thunderbirds every Sat. morning on our local channel. My kids think it is hilarious.

In addition to everything already listed...

The World at War, with all that great B&W footage, on PBS.
I couldn't get enough of the history oriented shows.
