Casualty - that started when I was 5. Would watch it as part of 'Saturday Night telly' when I was a bit older, and it always depressed the hell out of me.
Degrassi Junior High - shown on children's BBC around 1987. How crummy can you make Canada look? Cold, wet, suburban, dystopian and palaeotechnic. It really ISN'T that miserable.
Vickie is very right about Watership Down. I watched that when I was about 8 and it scared the sh!t out of me!

I didn't like Worzel Gummage and there was nothing else on.
However, as Doctor Who, Jon Pertwee were brilliant. :)
Used to also hate waiting for that ticker on Grandstand to stop giving dull sport results before Children's telly like Dukes of Hazzard or Doctor Who.
Never really been keen on the A-Team. People got blown up but never killed (even when shot at) and just flung in the air. Plus they'd go into a barn and come out in an armoured tank.

Coronation Street, Sunday Night at the London Palladium, Pinky and Perky, The Lucille Ball Show, Crossroads. I'm sure I can think of more, but there's a starter. I'm 50, by the way. 60s and Early 70s TV was very black and white !!

News at Ten, with Reginald Bosinquet (think that's how you spell it)
Not only was the news depressing (as always) but Reg' always had a face like a wielders bench that drove me to the brink of self-destruction at times. R.I.P Reggie!

they didn't make depressing TV programs when i was a kid..we didn't see anything depressing until they started putting viet Nam feeds on the nightly news. oh, yeah i just remembered it was depressing when one of the cartwright boys got married cos you knew she was going to die before the end of the show.
