Most of my early memories are from seeing movies on TV when the local LA PBS would air them during Pride Month, but for things that are TV specific ....
After that it was watching bits and pieces of both the British & American Queer as Folk at a friend's house.
And OZ kept my husband and I glued to the screen. We couldn't believe that The Sopranos got so much attention over OZ. OZ is one of my favorite shows ever and Beecher/Keller is hot like fire.
My most recent favorites are Spartacus and Black Sails.
At this point, I would be hard pressed to list all the queer media I've watched. When once upon a time, it was like finding a unicorn, and it was reserved for "very special episodes". Today it is much easier to find decent queer representation on TV ... though the asshole brigade is working double time to change that.
One of the things I would say is that the representation is no longer all about the AIDS pandemic, and that we're now seeing stories about people who happen to be queer, or getting historical queerness, as in Spartacus and Black Sails.

Let's see, my earliest memory is An Early Frost (1985)
Followed by Andre's Mother (1990)
