Grab the kids and find a comfy place in front of the TV to show them the superheroes that kept you riveted when you were growing up. On Tuesday, January 29, the premiere of Pioneers of Television: Superheroes on PBS turns the spotlight on our favorite heroes and villains who graced television screens in the 1950s to 1980s.

During the show, we'll be treated to interviews from beloved TV personalities like Adam West, Lynda Carter, Lou Ferrigno, and more as they reminisce on what it was like to be a superhero to a generation of television fans. In the video preview, Lynda Carter (who I'm pretty sure doesn't age) describes her iconic role, saying, "Wonder Woman represented a lot of breakthroughs."

Pioneers of Television: Superheroes airs this Tuesday on PBS, so if you spent your childhood watching Wonder Woman or Batman, be sure to check your local listings to learn more about the behind-the-scenes of your favorite television shows.
