enamouredRandom question time: growing up, what did you watch on TV with your parents?
For me, there's shows I watched because I was genuinely interested in them (TGIF and Snick lineups, afterschool cartoons, old sitcom reruns) and then there were shows that my parents (well, mostly my dad, as my mom had absurd hours when I was younger and usually she would watch whatever my brother and I would watch because it at least meant that she was hanging out with us) watched that I would either mostly ignore while I sat on the couch or floor and played or read something, or ones that I vividly remember watching with them. For example, I have memories of half-heartedly listening to Star Trek: The Next Generation, and actually paying attention to The Cosby Show with my dad. Actually, The Cosby Show is the reason why I asked this; my brother has been watching it on Netflix for about a week and a half straight and it's bringing back random memories. I think my dad taped the finale for that show. I know he taped the finale of TNG.
I'm going to go back to look for my first LJ entry to see what I was talking about then. I CANNOT BELIEVE I'VE BEEN ON THIS SERVER FOR A DECADE. WHAT IN THE WORLD. Speaking of that, I still boggle in disbelief when I see people using the icons I make. It makes me feel kind of special. Is that weird?

Date: 2011-08-16 07:22 am (UTC)I wasn't even really supposed to watch TV much as a kid, so I don't think I watched much with my parents. I used to love '70s sitcoms, and I think sometimes my dad and I sat together to see them.
LJ IS LUCKY TO HAVE YOU STAY LOYAL TO IT FOR 10 YEARS.
Also, that feeling never goes away. I don't see people using my icons that often, so whenever it happens, I get hearts in my eyes and squee inside.
