From ‘The Muppet Show’ to ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’: 13 TV Shows That Defined a Generation

Our love affair with television started when we were young. Back then, you could probably call it a crush. But TV was there for us from our earliest years, to teach us, to guide us, to keep us company, like in the magical land that Sid & Marty Krofft took us to in Land of the Lost. But more importantly, from our younger point of view, to entertain us!

We certainly remember how convenient it was to watch our shows back then. We could catch early-morning shows before school and ones after school. (Funny how school just seemed like a long break in between watching TV!) Plus, for most Gen X kids born between 1965 and 1980, TV was also our babysitter.
