What is the first TV show you remember being addicted to?

[TheoWalcott38]

Tracy Beaker for me

Grange Hill, Eastenders, Brookside Saturday omnibus, Neighbours

Friends. I had every single series on VHS and me and my friend would spend Friday and Saturday nights watching it back when we were about 14!

HR Puffenstuff. Showing my age, I know. Perhaps addicted isnt' the right word, but I remember looking forward to it all week. Other early favourites - Timeslip, Double Deckers, the Tomorrow People and the Kids from 47A.

Dallas! Well until the infamous shower reincarnation and then I stopped watching.

Neighbours here as well - Scott and Charlene era. I watched stuff before then, but not in the same 'must watch' sort of way.

@PiddleOfPuppies

Press Gang on ITV as a 11 year old, although I'm told I had a strange obsession with The Sullivans as a 3 year old.

Me too. Loved The Sullivans. Listening to the theme tune instantly transports me back to my grandma's house.

@camelfinger

Neighbours. I missed Scott and Charlene’s wedding because of an extra curricular activity, still bitter now. I occasionally watch that episode even now. And Saved by the Bell.

Some of my friends had an big deal orchestra thing after school that evening so our English teacher let them in to the TV room at lunchtime and let them watch it in the lunch break! Bless her!

Dr Who. Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, The Monkees. Loved the Sonny and Cher Show. Totally in love with the Mary Tyler Moore show as a late teen - such a fantastic role model at the time.

Crossroads

Cagney and Lacey

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I used to make notes and we would discuss it at school the next morning!

The Incredible Hulk.

Mary, Mungo and Midge

Either Buffy the Vampire slayer or Lost can't remember which first but it was around the same time

Grange Hill and Byker Grove. My sisters and I used to love them!

Pride & Prejudice, my DM and I were always so excited for the next episode.

Weirdly, I was obsessed with Eldorado as a kid, probably because it was so shit a child could've written the script 😂😂

The Colbys
Beverley Hills 90210
The Wonder Years. I cried for 3 days when that ended !!

24 - we were coming back from a visit to my in laws when we realised we might not get back in time for the last episode and we'd forgotten to set the video .... we managed to find a hotel ten minutes before it started , threw ourselves into bed just in time !

The Tomorrow People

Obviously Neighbours!!!

As an adult Scrubs
As a kid Mona the Vampire!

Lost in Space was always good - a bit like a kid's version of startrek

Oh, yes, The Man from UNCLE.
Illya Kureakin was v good fab

I was about to say Friends, but then @Picklypickles mentioned Due South. Ahhhh I loved that show as a teenager. Constable Benton Fraser 😍. I'd love to watch it again - I wonder if my teen dc would like it!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Literally obsessed at 11/12
