Following Ada's thread about childrens tv shows it got me thinking about cartoons and childrens programs that I really disliked.

There were quite a few.

I think my 'pet hate' childrens show was Power Rangers, boy did that suck the origional and all of the remakes.

Others were.

Rainbow Bright

My Little Pony

Fun House (after they never let me on the show) :(

Muppet Show... puppets agghhh

Racoons

Rainbow Bright

Scooby doo with scrappy and his cousin (the retarded one) in it.

The Smurfs

Johnny Bravo

 
Any of those stupid shows that just want to make money off the accessories like Pokemon and company, what happened to quality manga for kids like what we grew up with like Astro Boy? I hate Johnny Bravo too.
 
Almost all nowadays cartoons are crap. Or maybe there is a slight chance I'm growing up.
 
How can you hate the Muppets or The Smurfs?

The ones I disliked growing up where Rainbow (just creepy) and any "kid drama", like Grange Hill or Byker Grove.
 
Yeah, that was what I was thinking as well, but I don't dare to contradict Kylie.
 
Rent a Ghost - that reaaallly creeped me out! lol

I hated Byker Grove too - made Geordies sound thick - Byker is only a few miles from me.

Power Rangers....my god shoot me now.

Whatever happened to all the classics like Battle of the Planets and Starfleet X?

I'd never heard of Starfleet X, so I hunted around.
It sounded like a great show! I'm gutted, I didn't see it when it was on :(
I hope they release it on dvd.

But, here's the lyrics for you golden oldies... :)

Send a message out across the sky
Alien raiders just past Gemini
Who will come and save us now?
Who can defend us from their power?

CHORUS
Star Fleet, Star Fleet
Star Fleet, Star Fleet

Tell the people back at Earth Control
Send Star Fleet legions to save our souls
Always daring and courageous
Oooh, only they can save us

CHORUS
Star Fleet, Star Fleet
Star Fleet, Star Fleet
 
Ahhhh that's FANTASTIC!!!! It brings it all flooding back! It was a brilliant series and ended very unusually by having them all getting killed if I remember rightly.
 
You're not going to cry, are you? ;)

I have to admit that I never heard of Starfleet X and Battle of the Planets...
 
I don't know starfleet x but Battle of the planets is one of those cartoons Id like to see again just to see how it holds up. One of my childhood favourites along with Astroboy, Robotech and Starblazer. I always prefered the amime conversions, some of them even had storylines :eek: .


But that's off topic, Worst Childrens TV starting with the cartoons

ANY cartoon spin-off. Remember the Flinstone ones... captain caveman, pebble and bam bam as teenagers? wacky races had Penelope pitstop and catch that pigeon (or something like that?)

It's bad enough that Australia inflicted Lassie.... sorry Skippy on the world but as a kid there was a show Secret Valley that was absolutely dire. Then they went downhill with the spin off that had something to do with a flying bus.

It's funny isn't it how talking about crappy shows makes you think of the ones you loved...

Anyway, the show I hated the most, besides the Powerrangers, was Barbapapa.
 
I just managed to contain myself, Marky :D

Super Gran...remember that? God, that was awful.
 
Lol Supergran was bad and believe it or not was shown before or after that Secret Valley spin off at one point. Was part of some kids package that I can't remember the name of... but it did have the obligatory puppet just to finish the package. :rolleyes:

That was filmed just down the road from you & me, rod.
Whitley Bay beach - sounds much nicer than it is!

I didn't mind Supergran - it had a cheesy quality to it, and it wasn't often you had a 'positive' character in her 60s. Most of them were miserable old men or batty old ladies. Besides, it was hilarious seeing a geriatric with superpowers! :)
