Used to watch Gimme Gimme Gimme with my mum after coming home from Boys Brigade then when I was a bit older we’d get a Local Indian and watch stuff like My Family and They Think It’s All Over before Jonathan Ross.

Comedy on channel 4 but sometimes BBC2 when Fast Show was on, parents having beers and snacks, kids joining in with soft drinks once they got old enough and staying up one extra timeslot of programming the older they got.
Older sister experienced it first and reported back a whole new world of adult sophistication (ie swears on TV and parents gently falling asleep to the Father Ted closing credits) and I was super jealous waiting for my time to come.

Then I got too old for it all and was able to go hang out with my mates instead, but those few years were halcyon days.
