Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well. It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for the next post in the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge hosted by long and short reviews.

The First TV Show I Remember Watching
The very first thing that came to mind when I read this week’s prompt was a cartoon that aired in the early ’90s called Sharky and George. It was about a shark named Sharky (naturally) and a fish named George. The two are detectives or ‘crime busters of the sea’. The memory is vivid. The show was bright and colourful, and when I watched an episode on YouTube recently, I still found it incredibly compelling.
The second TV show that came to mind is Doctor Who. It’s a very famous British sci-fi series about an alien who travels in a time and space machine that appears as an old 1960s British police box. I remember sitting next to my dad in his chair, watching as the Fifth Doctor, played by Peter Davison, faced a firing squad in the serial The Caves of Androzani. I remember feeling scared… but in a good way. That memory has stayed vividly in my mind for decades.
Anyway, post 2! Thanks for reading. I wonder what all of you will answer.
Until next time,
George

I never heard of that cartoon! Of course, I didn’t watch much TV as a kid. The first show I remember was either Rescue 911 or Full House.
