Nobody's forgetting (the original) Power Rangers? That ruled until after the movie... They never should have gotten rid of Lord Zedd...

Power Rangers sucked the first day it aired.

Huh? Where 's my post?
Anyway: about the Power Rangers: there was at least 1 similar show before them, also from Bandai. It was called something like Bio-Man or Bio-Force.

Teenager nothing, I was 11 when that crap started.
And I say this without hindsight bias, because I distinctly remember watching the preview commercials and thinking "this looks kinda cool," thn watching the first show and thinking, "ok, this sucks."

The Kids Of Degrassy Street and Degrassy Junior High, was there anything better than this Canadian Melodrama?
Yeah, The Littlest Hobo.

Originally posted by Archie2K: OK Mike and Angelo was one of the most bizarre and not funny programs ever. Utter crap, but oh well. Each to their own. Okay, the later episodes (ie anything after 1991) were moronic, but I'm talking about the very early episodes. *puts on his rose-tinted glasses* Back then Angelo was this alien who was lonely because he was stranded on Earth, and Mike had just moved from America, and was lonely becuase he'd left all his friends behind. So the two of them became fast friends (sort of Fry and Leela without the UST). Even after Angelo did a Doctor Who style rgeneration to cover a change in actor, the bond was still there. But when the original Mike left, it started a revolving door of Mikes and Michelas turning up on the doorstep, and lasting a year before being replaced by the next Mike/Michela. Without the friendship there, the show just went straight downhill, and I gave up watching in the early 90s.

I loved Trapdoor, Thomas the Tank Engine, Willo the Wisp, Paddington Bear and Bagpuss when I was small.
Then Tundercats, Transformers, Turtles, Ghostbusters.
Then Ren & Stimpy became the only TV show I watched in months. Then it went away.
Animated Batman, Spider Man, He-Man (the old version).
Let's see... anybody mentioned Rude Dog and the Dweebs yet?
Kids TV sucks now though. All the classics have been replaced by crap like Pokemon, Digimon, and the like.

What about that program that was kinda weird, that had a crocodile as the host, and all the humour was low-grade, toilet based... Er, it was called, Down the Drain, or, um, something like that?

Yeah, and the host of the show would always say "Now remember Kids, don't go into your parent's bedroom" whenever the teams were asked to search the bedrooms. And Fun House - surely the pinacle of Pat Sharpe's (and his mullet's) career, and as for that theme song: (Female voice) Fun house! / Always having fun/ Prizes to be won / (deep male voice) It's a real crazy show / where anything goes!

'Have you ever... ever felt like this? When strange things happen, like you're goin' round the twist?' etc etc!

It was on TV for ages, that's right - repeated ad nauseum, too, if I remember rightly. I don't remember that much about the show itself, so I suppose it must have been a bit pants, yet I can remember every bloody word of the theme song. Embarrassing but sadly, true.

Yeah, one of those twins was called Melanie, I think. It's like an unspoken rule that anyone on TV called Melanie is painfully annoying and resulted in endless teasing for me. Like Melanie that used to be on Neighbours, with her awful laugh.
But recently the Mels on TV seem to be improving - Mel on Eastenders was hot.

He-Man wasn't as good as She-Ra - she had the power!
And also on the weakest link was Timmy Mallett - who I see is as annoying as ever.

I remember the Racoons, that was great! And also I remember no 73... which wasn't quite as good as the racoons, but still better than any saturday morning tv they've had for years now. At least - I think it was on on a saturday morning...
