Afternoon Delight: TV Reruns and the Gen X Childhood
Listen now
Description
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip …” You’re singing the end of that song now, aren’t you? (You’re welcome.) That’s because the TV shows from the 50s and 60s that reran constantly during our Gen X childhoods took up entire afternoons, weekends, and summer vacations. They were our after-school friends, our babysitters, and at times, our surrogate families. And today, decades after they all first aired, they still hold valuable space in our heads and in our hearts. Join us as we rank many of them in a PCPS Top 10 (14) list as voted on by both YOU our listeners, and US (because obviously). Which were our very favorites? Will yours break into the top 3?
