My Favorite TV Show: Star Trek – LOH # 230 Contest (Eng/Spn)
Greetings to all, in this beautiful Ladies of Hive Community. Heeding the call of this contest number 230, today I return to participate. Here I share this week's invitation. Thank you @irenenavarroart for these great questions!
This time I will answer the first question of the contest: What was your favorite TV show as a child, and why did you like it? Do you think it influenced your personality in any way as an adult?
Ever since I was little, I've had very specific and well-defined tastes. For example, I loved The Beatles, even though Mom always played me music in Spanish and tried to get me to learn nursery rhymes. And no, ever since I was very little (less than two years old), whenever a Beatles song came on the radio, I would run out to hear it and hum it. It may seem strange or exaggerated, but that's a very clear memory I have from my childhood. Sure, Mom had a collection of Beatles vinyl records, which she would listen to sometimes, but I wanted to hear them every day.
Just as I knew what my favorite music was, I also knew which TV shows I liked. While we kids weren't allowed to watch much TV at home, there were certain allowances for cartoons and some TV series or programs. I'm talking about the 1970s, when I was very young, there was no cable TV, the television offering in Venezuela was very limited, and black-and-white televisions were common in homes, and the concept of the internet hadn't yet been conceived. Now, among the programs I was allowed to watch was Star Trek, which I loved because those journeys through the galaxies and the encounters with beings from other worlds seemed astonishing, yet feasible. I also loved the character of Dr. Spock, with his sharp intelligence and great calculating skills.
The special effects on that show were really basic, but at the time, they were top-notch, so I found it very entertaining, as each new episode was a new adventure, a new world. Looking back, it may be a bit simplistic, but at the time, it was my favorite TV show, and every Wednesday (if I remember correctly), I would sit in front of the TV at 6:00 p.m. to enjoy a new episode of Star Trek.
As for whether Star Trek influenced me, I can say that perhaps it did, but I think my choice for that type of program came from within, not the other way around. Let me explain: I chose to watch programs like Star Trek (I also watched Lost in Space, The Jetsons, and others like that) because I believed that life outside of this planet was possible (I still do). And the basis for this belief was undoubtedly my father, because I clearly remember lying with him at night in a hammock in the backyard of my house at the time, and he would show me the stars, the constellations, and tell me how to differentiate the brightness of a star from the brightness of a planet. He explained to me that on those planets there were people like humans, just as there were different beings, with distinct natures and appearances. I think this naturally led me to choose Star Trek, and it has also allowed me to keep an open mind about so many technological and scientific changes and cosmic discoveries.
Saludos a todos en esta hermosa Comunidad de Ladies of Hive. Atendiendo la convocatoria de este concurso número 230, hoy vuelvo a participar. Aquí les comparto la invitación de esta semana. Gracias @irenenavarroart por estas estupendas preguntas!
En esta ocasión responderé la primera pregunta del concurso: <b ¿Cuál era tu programa de televisión favorito de niña y por qué te gustaba? ¿Crees que influyó de alguna manera en tu personalidad de adulta?
Desde que era pequeña tuve gustos muy particulares y muy definidos. Por ejemplo, amaba la música de Los Beatles, aunque mamá siempre me ponía música en español y trataba de que me aprendiera las canciones infantiles. Y pues no, desde que era muy pequeña, (menos de dos años), cuando sonaba alguna canción de Los Beatles en la radio, salía corriendo a oírla y tararearla. Parece raro o exagerado, pero ese es un recuerdo muy claro que tengo de mi infancia. Claro, mamá tenía una colección de vinilos de Los Beatles, que a veces ella oía, pero yo quería oírlos todos los días.
Así como sabía cuál era mi música, también sabía cuáles eran los programas de TV que me gustaban, y si bien en casa a los niños no nos dejaban ver mucha TV, sí había ciertas concesiones para los dibujos animados y algunas series o programas televisivos. Les estoy hablando de la década de los 70, cuando yo era muy pequeña, no había TV por cable, la oferta televisiva en Venezuela era muy escasa, y en los hogares era común la existencia de televisores blanco y negro, y aún ni se concebía el concepto de Internet. Ahora bien, dentro de los programas que me permitían ver estaba Viaje a las Estrellas, el cual yo adoraba ver, pues me parecían asombrosos, aunque factibles, esos viajes a través de las galaxias y los encuentros con seres de otros mundos. También me encantaba el personaje del Dr. Spock, con su aguda inteligencia y sus grandes habilidades de cálculo.
Los efectos especiales de ese programa eran realmente básicos, pero para ese momento era lo máximo, por lo que a mí me resultaba muy entretenidos, ya que cada nueva emisión era una nueva aventura, un nuevo mundo. Al verlo en retrospectiva, quizás sea algo muy simple, pero para ese momento era mi programa de televisión favorito, y cada miércoles, (si mal no recuerdo), estaba muy pendiente de las 6:00 p.m. para sentarme frente al televisor y disfrutar de un nuevo capítulo de Viaje a las Estrellas.
Respecto a que, si Viaje a las Estrellas influyó en mí, puedo decir que quizás sí, pero creo que mi elección por ese tipo de programas partía de mí, no al revés. Me explico: Yo elegía ver programas como Viaje a las Estrellas, (también veía Perdidos en el Espacio, Los Supersónicos y otros por el estilo), porque yo creía que la vida fuera del planeta era factible (aún lo creo). Y la base de esta creencia sin duda fue mi padre, pues recuerdo claramente que me acostaba con él de noche, en una hamaca que había en el patio de mi casa de ese entonces, y él me enseñaba las estrellas, las constelaciones, me decía como diferenciar el brillo de una estrella del brillo de un planeta. Él me explicaba que en esos planetas había personas como los humanos, como también existían seres diferentes, con naturalezas y aspectos distintos. Creo que esto me llevó de manera natural a elegir a Viaje a las Estrellas, como también me ha permitido tener la mente abierta ante tantos cambios tecnológicos, científicos y a los descubrimientos cósmicos.

Me encanta esta serie. Gracias por traerla . También compartí con mi padre una infancia de apasionados por la astronomía. Hasta me regaló un telescopio. Tu post me acaricia la memoria. Gracias 😊🤗
El regalo que me dio mi padre a los 9 años, fue precisamente, un telescopio. Gracias por pasar a leer y comentar, me alegro que hayas viajado en el tiempo. Saludos @maiasun84
Más coincidencias. Qué alegría . Abrazos de luz para ti !!!
You loved The Beatles as a child, that time was really fun. But your mother used to sing to you in Spanish, really a memory. But learning rhymes was a great magical time of childhood for you. In addition to sharp intelligence and loving the characters of Dr. Spot, it was really fun. But there was a time when our country also had black and white television. I never imagined that there was color television. And there was no idea about the internet system. It is true that we used to watch cartoons on black and white TV back then. Although I used to watch television secretly many times with my parents' permission. Your hard work and beautiful questions and answers are really great. But as a child, I loved to watch adventure films during some of your favorite happy times. Distinguishing the brightness of stars and the brightness of planets is a great skill. You enjoyed it a great skill sitting outside with your parents and looking at the stars. Welcome to this great TV show competition for you. Of course, you speak some great languages that listening and watching lead me to education.
However, no matter how many mistakes we make towards our parents, they forgive us. No matter how many mistakes, known or unknown, remain in the human heart in the form of intense pain. thank you so much mam
Thank you for your kind words. Best regards @mdakash62
I am so happy to see your kind words my pleasure my mam

Thanks @bigorna1
Certainly that decade of the 70's TV was black and white, it is touching how your father showed you the stars, the constellations, and explained about the planets, as you say, that has influenced you to keep an open mind in the face of so many changes, thank you for sharing your experiences,

My father was a very special person. I suppose he's there now, too, in the stars, looking down on me.

Star Trek was an incredible series, I liked it quite a bit, although after a while they didn't show it anymore. I know it was one of those programs that were shown very early in the morning 😊

It was certainly a wonderful program, one that still endures. And perhaps because you're younger than me, when you were a child, they aired that show very early in the mornings. When I was a child, they almost aired it during prime time.
Thank you for your comment. Greetings @irenenavarroart

Oye, la serie "Perdidos en el espacio"era una de mis favoritas, a finales de los años 60 y en los 70, yo era muy niño, la verdad es que esta serie despertaba en mi, un gran interés por el misterio del universo, al igual que la serie perdidos en el espacio, incluso, vi estas series en televisor blanco y negro, de verdad, fueron épocas inolvidables, saludos....
Esas series fueron épicas, al igual que muchas otras de ese entonces, y sí creo que marcaron el camino para mirar a las estrellas. Muchas gracias por su visita @oscarcede
