I had no clue what Watergate was, but I knew that a) it consisted of a bunch of old men sitting around and talking, and more importantly b) they were showing it on TV instead of the kiddie shows I used to watch at my grandma's house before I was old enough to go to school.

Excellent! I have the same basic memory. I remember I told my parents that I hated Nixon. They asked why, so I told them it was because he was on TV instead of my favorite show at the time. It was just a short while later that everyone hated Nixon. So I was ahead of the curve there. I must have been 5 or so. I liked Ford. He seemed like a friendly man, and he wasn't on TV during my shows as much.
