What TV shows, cartoons, or films did you watch obsessively as a kid? Why were you so hooked?

A natural way to answer

There was one adventure series I never missed. I think I loved it because the characters felt like friends, and each episode left me wanting more. It gave me something to look forward to every single week without fail.
