Put a bunch of adults in a room for a few hours and no matter what topic you give them - existentialism, world politics, etc, one will eventually say, 'Wasn't the Magic Roundabout great!' So, this is where you can discuss all those shows you loved as a kid, or the ones you really hated (or if you still are a kid - the ones you love/hate now!). I mean, what was with those names in Captain Pugwash, eh...? And was zebedee really on speed? Personally, my all-time favourite kids tv show is Dangermouse, which is still fab when I watch it as an adult... which I do, because I have the video! (Sorry if this has been done before - I did a search from the last few months' topics and couldn't find anything similar...) Go forth and discuss!

Spiff, he reminds me somehow of Trapdoor, this claymation show we used to have over here. God, did anyone watch Trapdoor? It was fab!

I used to love Clarissa..., until I realised it was unhealthy. UK Kids TV, would not go by without an honorable mention for "Mr Ben". "As if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared....."

Danger Mouse Count Dukula Gerry Anderson stuff Mr Ben Rocko's Modern Life Various WB stuff Various H&B stuff - mostly the pre-60's ones, then that's really MGM cartoons (Tom & Jerry in other words) Thomas the Tank Engine, plus a Tugboat version of something similar, can anyone remember that? Plus something that was set in a fast-food resturant, can't remember that name either Things like that Today's kid's stuff, on the most part, despite this coming from a "adult" prospective, is utter shite... *rocks back in his rocking chair* Oh my, indeed!

The original Disney Afternoon line up was cool. Ducktales was cooler, though. Tiny Toons and Animaniacs, and by extension, Pinky ands the Brain, still own you. Sesame Street and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood I remember watching and enjoying. I remember actually watching Thndercats before they became a pop nostalgia icon. The original X-Men cartoon - you know, the one that actually followed the comics? Watched X-Men more than I watched Spider-man.

Anyone remember Ullysses 31 and Battle Of The Planets?
Man, those shows ruled when we were young, but when we see the reruns now, they suck.

That burned Brot character looks/sounds like the most awesome thing ever. By Firecube: Does anybody know that show with crime-fighting dogs by WB? It can't be too old. I loved it. Crazy dog stereotypes. That would be Road Rovers. I remember hating it, but thinking the season/series finale was kind of clever for a kid's show. And no, the Smurfs aren't that old. Why I still remember going to a local Hanna-Barbera themed amusement park, and riding the Smurf Mountain ride. One of the guys in Smurf costumes felt me up when I was seven. Sigh...I guess you never forget first loves.
