  • Not really a show, but Im familiar with the old CBC (canada) sign-off. Wasn't really my bed time either, I have insomnia disorder, I would just read books after the tv went off-air for the night. I'm also familiar with the CBC sign-on, and the first program on in the morning was 100 Huntley Street, followed by the PTL Club, before Jim and Tammy Faye went to jail.

  • NCIS, or its variants. I think where I lived, it came on at 9pm, and because my parents didn't want me to watch it, (violence and all that) it was a convenient bedtime marker.

  • 64 Zoo Lane! It’s from the late ‘90s but it has this weird timelessness about it I think.

  • This question reminds me of the early '70s, in Italy, when only a state-owned TV channel was broadcasting, and without ads. Except between 8:30 and 9:00 pm, in a special time where the spots were like little show, the children were watching them with their eyes glued to the screen, and then... bedtime! It was "Carosello", and for the whole Italy: "the children to bed after Carosello"!
