    Smurfs
    Care Bears
    Pippi Longstocking Movie
    CBS Storybreak
    Mork N Mindy

    I like TV. Sad thing about this list is that I took it from one I've got saved on my computer. I decided to make a list of all the shows I'd buy if they were released on DVD, cause they kept releasing things I sort of wanted, and I had to set a limit of "only shows I love." Sadly, I love a lot of shows. There are *very* few shows I watch that aren't aimed at kids, I like wholesome programming, so most of these are old favorites that I still love. Most of my new favorites are along the same lines, and still lots of Disney programming.

    Full House
    Boy Meets World
    Growing Pains
    Brotherly Love
    The Wonder Years
    Clarissa Explains it All
    Eerie Indiana
    Flash Forward (this was on Disney, anyone know it?)
    So Weird (another Disney Channel show)
    The Torkelsons (Disney, anyone remember this one?)
    The Weekenders (Disney, again, so few people know this show)
    Aladdin (based on the movie)
    The Little Mermaid (based on the movie)
    Fraggle Rock
    Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers
    Gummi Bears
    Alvin and the Chipmunks
    Doug (Nickelodeon version)
    Rugrats (the original ones)
    Hey Arnold!
    The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest
    Arthur
    Fudge (based on the book series)
    Madeline
    Teddy Ruxpin
    The Magic School Bus
    Wishbone (best book related kids show ever)
    Muppet Babies
    Rainbow Brite
    Care Bears
    My Little Pony
    Pokemon
    Digimon
    Sailor Moon
    Two of a Kind (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen show)

    I'm probably missing a few, which is sad, given how long the list already is, lol. I really don't, and didn't when I was little, watch TV 24/7. These are just the shows I watched when I did. And it's a list of about 13 years worth of favorites. And I was quite fickle as a child, new favorite all the time.

I loved those shows. Also Wonder Years!!! I would love to have that on DVD. My favorite movies were The Neverending Story & Grease.

    Does anyone remember when Pooh came on Disney and the characters were people in costumes??? I wish I knew what that was called. LOL
