Last night, I decided that I was going to let myself have a break for once. Instead of doing all the daily chores that I do until I go to bed, I sat down and turned on Cowboy Bebop. As the theme song came on, I felt a smile and a tear grow simultaneously, because it reminded me of being a young panda in my grandparents' living room late on a Saturday night. I've seen many posts about food that brings back memories, but have never seen one about shows. So, what's yours?

Sky King and Honey West - those are names I've not heard in a very long time. Good memories...

'Star Trek'. Back when it wasn't necessary to add 'The Original Series'. Also 'Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color'. I was young, and very much appreciated the variety and the nature documentaries. Not to mention all of the wonderful Gerry Anderson 'Supermarionation' shows.

Ah, *Thunderbirds*! I've always said Gerry Anderson knew the way to young kids' hearts - Really *neat* futuristic vehicles, and the absolutely *BEST* explosions on TV!

Comedy writing at its best.

... Out of *INTENSE* curiosity, HOW do you manage formatting and enforcing line breaks in a Bored Panda post? I dearly want to be able to do that and had sadly concluded that it was not possible!

New series of Great British Bake-Off started a couple of weeks ago. It was something we would always watch together and comment on - if one of us was out we'd make sure to keep it and watch it together when convenient.
So I'm struggling a bit, watching it just leaves me hanging with no-one to talk to, yet another thing that makes me aware of how much I miss her and how poorly I'm coping without her.

You know what? I just realized that when I was young, like in my teens-twenties, my opinion regarding cooking shows where that "Ha! I would never watch a cooking show! So boring!". And now here I am, enjoying Nadia's cooking, cheering for the cooking showdown competitions like "The American Barbecue Show Down" or "Culinary Class Wars" at Netflix. People change...

I watched that one with my children. Started as just "They're watching it, so I guess I'm watching it" then the wife would find out we've been watching it for hours XD

Vision On. A show produced with deaf children in mind, which was so bloody fantastic that hearing children watched it avidly and didn't even realise.
