Childrens TV

[Thunderchild]

I probally have a small fortune in origonal transformers merchndise stored somewhere and I also liked robotech and a few Australian shows : Round the twist, Spellbinder and Escape from Jupiter.

Kids TV was defiantly better when I was younger (say 10 years ago)
I was going to post yesterday, but was struggleing to remember the name of a show ~ Alysheba remembered it though ~ Thundercats! Alysheba, you sure had/have great taste in kids shows. Amongst the shows I remember fondly are;

Thundercats
Inspector Gadget
Top Cat
She-ra and He-man
Care Bears
Dangermouse
Trap Door }
Button Moon } going back some years there

And finally ... anyone remember Super Gran?
And what was that programme with the boy who turned into a dog?

As I say, kids TV was better ... remember how She-ra and Care Bears always had like, a moral to the show?

Jason, that programme might well be [whisper]Mighty Morphin Power Rangers[/whisper]

The programme about turning into a dog is WOOF! and the boys name was Eric!!!

I used to watch that too and yes I remember Super Gran although it wasn't one of my faves, I did however, like Simon and the Witch.

Hermi-nomi, you seem to be roughly the same age as me and from Essex like me too! Love that Care Bears choice, I used to love that and I even had Cheer Bear and Birthday Bear, although the one I really wanted was Bedtime Bear but it seems that was everyone's favourite and I never got it!!!

Also used to have My Little Pony Dreamcastle and Stable - hmmmm, maybe I shouldn't admit to these things in public....

You're all bringing back some great memories!

EDIT: For those few of you who do remember Round the Bend, I've finally found a site for it http://homepage.ntlworld.com/orgers/rtb/index.htm, apparently, it was Australian - who'd have thought it?

Thomas the Tank Engine was great.

Agreed. The models and the setting were amazing. I can't play Transport Tycoon without thinking of Thomas the Tank Engine

Have just remembered The Borrowers and then their was the Wombles of Wimbledon that my son used to watch ...

The Rugrats, Postman Pat and that Dinosaur Family show I don't remember what it's called?

The Rugrats, Postman Pat and that Dinosaur Family show I don't remember what it's called?

Funnily enough it was called "Dinosaurs" and it was the Sinclair family:

Can't believe it ended 12 years ago. Doesn't time fly?

Tom And Jerry
Ducktails
Bagpuss
Scooby Doo
Dangermouse
Simpsons
Top Cat
Charlie Brown/ Snoopy
Daffy Duck
Bugs Bunny
Donald Duck
Mickey Mouse
Wallace and Gromit
Pink Panther
Cat in The Hat
He Man
Xmen
Road Runner
Tailspin
Wackey Races
Yogi Bear

Road Runner was great especially the one cartoon when Wile E Coyote finally gets Road Runner, but Road Runner had grown to 50 feet tall and I think he held up a sign "What do I do now?"

Yeah, I had the Dream castle too and ... I had the She-ra castle and dolls too
Thanks for naming Woof I don't think I actually watched Super Gran ... not for long anyway, I just remember it being on.

I though of some more: Rainbow and that programme with Grotbags the witch... not to mention Sooty and Sweep ... and Bodger and Badger ~ oh, and Teddy Ruxpin ...

Salazar and Omega, thanks for mentioning the Dinosaurs. I used to really enjoy that show ~ I was abit older then though (probably about 13/14) and I have tried to mention shows from before then. Good memories though ~ anyone remember Wizadora? I couldn't stand it but everyone at school (senior school, i might add) used to sing the theme tune

LOLOL... I loved every cartoon that had horses in it. Besides She-Ra, I also watched:
My Little Pony
Rainbow Bright
The Lone Ranger (this one was my favorite. I had the horses and dolls and a lunch box).
Dungeons And Dragons (I loved the unicorn)

There was another one I can't remember the name of that was a Hannah-Barbara cartoon. It had 3 main characters (A barbarian, a woman, and another humanoid creature). They all rode horses too. That's one reason why I watched.

 

[hermi-nomi]

Rainbow Bright! OMG Rainbow Bright!!!
I had the wallpaper, the dolls and the quilt cover! (In fact, I think my younger sister now has that quilt cover...) I was only about five/six at the time ... there was a character with bright red hair and one with yellow hair? OMG ... the memories ... (am in spasms of delight down memory lane ...)

 

[cornelius]

aah, the power rangers, yes...
don't like what they've done to it, but the series I watched where better than the ones they show now...
maybe it has sth to do with me gettin' old... naah.

 

[Marky Lazer]

Power Rangers has never been good.

 

[cornelius]

that's your opinion, Marky. IMo it was quite entertaining. sure the episodes always ended the same, and sure the monsters were sometimes funny instead of scary, but hey, the pre-teen kid in me loved it.

 

[Salazar]

Road Runner was great especially the one cartoon when Wile E Coyote finally gets Road Runner, but Road Runner had grown to 50 feet tall and I think he held up a sign "What do I do now?"

That was an awesome episode! I remember that. I don't remember what he did at the end very well but I think he's just over-whelmed that he did it. I don't blame him, think of the pain!

Kids TV in my day was so much better than the stuff my kids watch just now.

I remember:

Magic Roundabout
Mary, Mungo and MIdge
Bagpuss
Trumpton and all its connected tales
Fingermouse
thunderbirds
and Bod
