I'm one of those "young whippersnappers," and I remember Flipper! I also remember all sorts of other odd stuff, like David the Gnome, Captain Planet, Square One, and 3-2-1 Contact. (I used to have a bright red 3-2-1 Contact hat, even.) And my family watches MASH reruns and occasionally I Dream of Jeannie.

There wasn't much to do in my house if I was home sick as a kid, so I watched TV. Mostly because I usually couldn't focus well enough to read, and because I kept falling asleep.
