7 Great TV Programming Blocks From The 90s

7. Vault Disney

I wish I could start my list off on a happy note, telling you that I spent my 90s childhood enjoying all of the great programming that the Vault Disney television block had to offer, but I can't. Two things are to blame here:

1. The stupidity of most modern kids who think that anything in black and white is boring and/or un-relatable.

2. My Bedtime: my parents (i.e. mom) were sticklers for sticking to bedtime schedules, great for a body's development, but can wreck havoc on a child's boob tube education.

Well, do you recall that stupid old Disney vault, where the blankety-blanks at Disney keep all their treasures stored away so no one can enjoy them? Yeah, well for those lucky enough to have a later bedtime in the 90's, the Disney vault was as wide open as Fort Knox. All the great classics from Disney's extensive library were broadcast during Vault Disney. You might be able to catch an episode of the Zorro anthology series starring Guy Williams, or maybe you could catch a glimpse of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color series, or even full episodes. You remember the vintage Mickey Mouse Club with Annette Funicello? They showed that too. Oh! Oh! Oh! They would even put on great old Disney movies like The Love Bug, The Shaggy Dog or Freaky Friday (the underrated Jodie Foster one). They even showed the old Davy Crockett serial with Fess Parker in the titular role. It's crazy to think that ignorance and a strict bedtime were all that stood between me and some of the most fantastic programming from TV's Golden Age. Thankfully, there was another channel that also hosted a similar block of old shows for my enjoyment, albeit at a more reasonable time as I was living under a regime of nocturnal tyranny.
