Didn't have a TV in my house when I was a kid. No telephone or running water either. Sort of lived like they did on Little House On The Prarie with an outhouse, a cistern to pull up a bucket full of water at a time, and went to a one room school just across the dirt road that I lived on. We did have electricity and a propane tank for gas to cook with but used a potbelly wood stove for heat and open windows for air conditioning. No, I am not that old-this was in the mid 1950's to early 1960's. I have great memories of that time of my life.

I never rushed home to watch anything on TV. Other things were much more interesting. As a child I went to the local stream and caught freshwater crayfish, picked wild flowers and later, in my teens, spent hours exploring the Yards of Kendal.
There were times when I got somewhat interested in soaps, but I have never said to anyone, 'I'm going home now to watch...' I find that really sad. There's a real world out there, and, believe me, it's full of true human drama.
Admittedly, the real thing is much more disturbing than a soap, but I don't get the heeby jeebies when Phil from EastEnders goes soft - even if his kid could be Damian IV.

Monkey (on Fridays after Harold Lloyd, BBC2) , Hong Kong Phooey, Grange Hill with Tucker, Magpie, Vision On (Take Hart) and pretty much any Cartoons, like Ulysses 31 when I was a teenager.
Lets not forget Runaround with Mike Read......

I used to love a show called Johnny Briggs which was on CBBC, I think it was set in Liverpool, also I was a big Grange Hill fan, and Neighbours was the tea time highlight back in the Kylie and Jason days!

I'm older than most of the people on here.
I couldn't wait to get home from school when I was in my early teens. American Bandstand was on every weekday afternoon. At that time, it was televised from Philadelphia. Dick Clark was, of course, the host. It was a great way for kids to keep up with the latest dances and to see what other teens were wearing.
Also, it was the first time that many viewers got the opportunity to see what some of the rock n' roll stars looked like. We only had their records, and there were no videos back then.
It was a lot of fun, and your question brings back a lot of great memories.

I didn't get to pick my grandmom always had soaps on. Unfortunately, I know a good part of the Guiding light storyline. Ohh, I can't believe I've revealed that. If me and my sister took over the room we would put on mtv or lifetime. Gotta love tori.
