strangest shows from childhood





















Yesterday's post on "Saved By the Bell" reminded me of how much bad TV I consumed as a child. I'm saddened by this.

Here's just a sampling of the strangest shows from childhood.


"Alf"
















"Small Wonder"



"Dinosaurs"
Some have found subversive political meaning behind the show.


"Muppet Babies"




















"The Snorks"



"Out of this World"


Can you think of any others?
