Do people not remember their early childhoods?
My autism seems to have given me a freaky memory, however faint it may be at times.
I notice that, with exceptions like Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, people never seem to wax nostalgic about preschool television.
Howdy, Stranger!

i was in this house up on summit where my mom used to have her AA meetings and like some stuff happened and a beautiful vampire and i reenacted the ending of Little Red Riding Hood culminating in her/him/? ripping my throat out with it's teeth and there was the scream from this infotainment video game i had that was supposed to be the sound of someone in victorian london having their leg amputated (not making that last bit up btw it was a DK game this one)
i then woke up, just laid there for like 10 seconds processing it and then i ran screaming to my mom
also this is the first time that i've realized how sexual that dream was
he's a man in a purple dinosaur suit teaching kids what circles are
i mean like if you have a phobia i'd understand but yeah

it's designed to be generally positive and informative and easy to grasp for people who can barely form cogent sentences
that's like saying that Gerber's is the worst food in the world or something
reruns are still ongoing
I think that would be sufficient grounds for a show being called successful
in every daycare i have ever been in in my entire life, there has been barney (i recall like 5, i don't thing i ever stayed at one but my sister did a lot)
the entirety of House MD was 8 years
M*A*S*H ran for 10
Breaking Bad ran for 5
if 5 year old me handed out Emmys it'd be getting all of them every year
all of the original stories
they were really good, the dude who wrote them knew his stuff about trains and little autistic me was so fuckin thrilled with all of the awesome factualness going down
and i really liked that they confronted real world issues like train schedules and derailment and like there was that time where they found all those old engines in that boarded up building and it was soooooo cooooooool, way cooler than those other things that were about stupid things that i didn't care about i.e. things that were not snake or train related
not much fighting, not much extreme peril, just a lot of quiet pastoralness and usefulness and industry
events. As a lifelong railway enthusiast, Awdry was keen that his
stories should be as realistic as possible. The engine characters were
almost all based upon real classes of locomotive, and some of the
railways themselves were directly based upon real lines in the British
Isles.
ain't that the coolest shit?
But also i think when you're that young, although you have preferences, what's available to you is basically what your parents choose to make available to you. i wasn't allowed to watch TV when i was very small, so my entertainment came from VHS tapes and picture books. So it depended on what my parents bought for me.
And in answer to the question in the OP, my memories of being that young are very sparse and very vague. i thought this was the same for everyone.
then again i was a fuckin weird child who was quite happily reading and talking in full sentences at 18 months so i dont think im very representative of most peoples experiences
My earliest memories are:
tricycling around in some shallow water after it had flooded our street
this one step in our house where I used to sit and play with toy cars
this "girlfriend" I had named Myra
