Besides children programming...

[Jixby Phillips]

My Family were big Married With Children fans. In Living Color my dad watched. I recall watching it but never really digging it THAT much.

I've been watching the simpsons from the very first episode. My mom got us into it, because she liked the Tracey Ullman show. we used to tape them. I wish we'd saved those tapes because I remember about 5 years before the DVDs came out, tapes of original broadcasts of the Simpsons were pretty valuable.

I never mentioned this, but I was a huge USA Up All Night viewer when I was a kid. I had a TV in my bedroom with cable and I'd litteraly stay UP ALL NIGHT with my hand down my pants. I really fucking miss that show. I remember when it was on it's last legs and they'd show like regular movies, and there were no more host segments. There were stupid computor animated bumpers, and then they'd show like GATTACA. It was a very sad day the first time I saw what had become of this show.

I suppose I was pretty young when I got into Kids in the Hall. I watched it before MST3K. Kids in the Hall made me want to write sketch comedy, and I wrote tons of really bad Kids in the Hall rip-off sketches. They are really embarassing and thankfully they are all gone forever, from when my first computor died. I remember when they used to have Kids in the Hall marathons every January, and they showed 8 hours of Kids in the Hall, from 8 PM to 4 AM. I had a horrible flu and I taped the whole marathon, but I didn't want to tape it in SLP mode, and I didn't want to have to take tapes out in the middle of episodes or cut off credits, so I used two different VCRs, one upstairs and one downstairs, and I ran between them every 2 hours. I was so sick and I felt like I was going to die, and I should have been in bed, but I stayed up to watch the whole goddamn thing.

Squirt TV was on MTV for 6 episodes, and I fucking LOVED that show. I was 12 years old I think. Mostly because they had Kevin and Scott from KITH on it to promote Brain Candy.
