Are there any tv shows you still like from your childhood…

That have little to do with who you are now ? I still enjoy The Wild,Wild West (the tv show, not the movie), and watch it on Pluto TV. A few of the episodes haven’t aged well, but others are still great. My favorites remain "The Night of The Man-Eating House" and "The Night of The Undead".

I sometimes find an old series which I used to enjoy on line or on an 'oldies' TV station, but often they seem so old fashioned I wondered why I had been so nostalgic about them. But some series, like the '60s Batman are still as corny as ever (is that expression used in the US?) and still worth a groan to watch again occasionally. I'm sure the strings on the puppets in Thunderbirds and Stingray are more obvious today than they were to a 10 year old. 😂

There are a lot more series I have watched again and realised I had forgotten how slow things were in British TV drama until comparatively recently which actually is quite nice. I think the British stage tradition drove it as opposed to the US film/movie background of those westerns and adventure dramas.

@FreddieUK Yes, ‘corny’ was often heard here, too, describing the series, although it was great fun (Holy Tintinabulation, Batman !)
