You know, I don't think there was EVER any one television show -- whilst I was little -- that I can remember making a big impression on me. Sure, I could recite commercials without thinking (my cousins, by the time I was 5, had just moved back to the states from Germany -- they HATED the fact I could recite the commercials, heh) but other than that, I don't think I was really influenced much.
I do remember reading a lot of books, though. Nosey Mrs. Rat, for one. And a couple of years later, it was the Little House books (Little House on the Prairie, Little House in the Big Woods and so forth -- Laura Ingles Wilder, if I'm not mistaken) and I tackled the unabridged Doctor Doolittle in the 2nd grade. Loved Seuss. Loved poems by Shel Silverstein. 4th grade introduced me to The Hobbit (although I could not sit to read it, I could not wrap my head around it) and a book by Jane Yolen -- Wizard's Hall. A book that would follow me to lunch-time detention; would be read while walking down hallways and on the bus. Anywhere. And would stay with me until, what, last year, Lisa? When I gave it to you.
8th grade. Yay. Gone with the Wind and the Hank, the Cow Dog series. Boosh!
10th... started trying to read The Hobbit again, liked it, then read Fellowship and The Two Towers. Fell in love with Harry Potter, as it reminded me a great deal of Wizard's Hall, but had it's own story altogether.
Recently... manuals and references. A few Star Wars and Doctor Who novels.
Yay for nostalgia :P
