That’s the oldest series that I can recall seeing when the first show debuted. I would have been six years old at the time. It’s certain that some other, earlier show was the ‘first’ that I watched, but that important knowledge is lost to the mists of time. ![]()

Shown in reruns on TBS in the post-school hours, which meant that this Gen X Latchkey Kid watched it for hours, day in and day out. Gilligan, The Skipper, The Professor, etc. became friends that I spent time with each day, just as Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, etc. later became friends that I spent time with on a regular basis.
Your first adult or age-neutral show
A daily farm report program, airing on WGN in Chicago. Starting at around age 7, I would wake up much earlier than my parents, and turn on the TV, to watch while I made myself a bowl of cereal for breakfast. At that hour (6am or 6:30am), in the early ‘70s, no other TV station was on the air that early, except for WGN, which was broadcasting Orion Samuelson’s farm-news report. So, I watched it, out of boredom and curiosity, until 7am, when a kids’ show came on, and learned about pork bellies and corn futures in the process.
