My sister and I were laughing about the fact that we used to make a date to watch ‘Dawson’s Creek’ together every week.
We were both in our early 20s.

I also loved ‘My So Called Life’, anyone else watched that?

Teletubbies. I was in my mid-teens when it first came out. 😆

I watched a lot of cartoon network when my son was young. Loved adventure time, gumball and teen titans. When I was on my honeymoon (without the kids) the hotel tv had teen titans on every morning and I watched it with DH 😂

Bluey was orignally made for adults but it was bought as a kids cartoon.Great for all generations really!

Cyclistmumgrandma · 14/05/2025 07:36

Maid Marian and her Merry Men. Loved it when I watched it with my children and love it still.

I love rewatching shows I watched as a kid I still watch the odd rugrats, sabrina the teenage witch. I rewatched sister sister when it was on netflix. Boy meets world then girl meets world.

Drake and Josh. that takes me back, used to love watching that with the kids and saved by the bell.
(honestly I don't like watching waffle the wonder dig with my disabled adult child)

Same here, though I watch with my DD as an excuse. I really want to rewatch Sabrina the teenage witch now, where can I find it to watch?

Springhassprungxx · 14/05/2025 07:52

48 and l love Gilmore Girls.
Could easily binge watch Thomas the Tank Engine and Postman Pat if they were still on!

I've been watching Malory Towers while doing the ironing lately. I'm in my 40s! I lived the books as a child.

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 14/05/2025 08:25

I'm in my 40s and currently rewatching The OC. Yeah it's trash, but I'm loving it.

It's on prime but you have to pay for it

HumerousHumous · 14/05/2025 09:42

Shaun The Sheep. We as a family of adults could watch it over and over again.

RenoDakota · 14/05/2025 09:53

I used to love watching American kids and teen programmes with my daughter. Like The Wizards of Waverley Place, iCarly, Victorious. I swear I spotted what a great actress Ariana Grande is before anyone else did 😄 As Cat Valentine in Victorious and then in Sam and Cat.
