This Blogtober post, Top 10 Favorite Television shows as a kid features my Top 10 Favorite television shows from when I was a kid. If you like this post, you might also like to take a look at Blogtober Day 11 – Top 10 Reality Television Shows. And speaking of favorites, you might want to check out my Top 10 Favorite Cartoon shows as a kid (from Blogtober Day 5).

One of my favorite TV shows as a kid was Batman. Of all the old TV shows this was so good because Batman was one of the few superheroes on TV at the time.

Batman – The original Batman (Adam West). Do you remember watching the cliff hangers at the end of the show to see what will happen next week? The previews for next weeks episode started with Batman.

Top 10 Favorite Television shows as a kid

Gilligan’s Island – I couldn’t wait to get home from school, turn on the television and get ready to watch the next episode of the castaways. Bonus points if you know all of the words in the Gilligan’ Island ballad.

It Takes a Thief – I wish this show ran in syndication. I haven’t looked too hard to find it though. I would enjoy that much more if I didn’t have to spend $60 or so on a DVD for the show. One of Robert Wagner’s best roles.

Land of the Giants – this aired around the same time as Lost in Space. I think that it only lasted for a year or two.

Lost in Space – another show that kept in you suspense at the end of the show. I liked the little bit at the beginning of the show.

Mission Impossible (not the ones with Tom Cruise) – who can think of Mission Impossible without thinking of the words, “this message will self destruct in 5 seconds?”

My Favorite Martian – Bill Bixby and Ray Walston made quite the team in this humorous TV show about a martian living on earth.

Star Trek (the Original) – I remember going to the first Star Trek movie around 1981 or so and thinking, Boy is this going to be big. And they still keep coming out with one movie after another for this great franchise. My Pinterest Idea pin (the one on the right has more than 129K).

The Wild Wild West – what I really enjoyed about this show is looking to see what they would fill in for one of those squares when they did their cut scene.
