- Superman I & II
- Alien
- The Z Channel
- Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back
- The Twilight Zone. I’m told that I used to watch this at all hours before I could even talk. Great.
- Old school Warner Bros. cartoons, especially those featuring Wagner, Bugs conducting the symphony, Duck Twacy, Bugs in the Coliseum, or that creepy red monster made of nothing but hair and sneakers. This was before they started editing the violence.
- Batman starring Adam West
- The SuperFriends
- Spider man cartoons (The animators omitted much of his costume webbing to save time. My young mind interpreted the missing webs as a sign that this was a younger spiderman before he had gotten all his webs through hard earned experience.)
- Optimus Prime
- ViewMaster
- GI Joe cartoons (Oddly, I never really got into the toys.)
- Voltron (Lion Team)
- The Muppet Show
- Mork and Mindy
- Mister Rodgers’ Neighborhood
