There was an episode of Roland Rat (if any Brits remember that) that freaked me out because it seemed like Roland was coming onto one of the presenters. My innocent little mind couldn't understand it so it seemed like he was a dirty pervert. I guess that was my strange mind at work.
Those Boobah things are weird too. It's like what would happen if a five year-old smoked pot.

I've re-watched (via the magic of DVD) a couple of kids shows from my era: Jamie & The Magic Torch and Chorlton & The Wheelies.
Both were utterly incompehensible and Chorlton couldn't be shown now without an epilpsy warning.

Lurrr > I would agree on both counts there, Roland Rat I did not get and those Boobah things are very weird.
I can't remember too much, other than when I was quite little I watched 'The Fantastic Four' cartoon with some older boys and the Human Torch scared me. I can't remember why. He just seemed scary in his form.

I recently watched a few episodes of Ren & Stimpy and I can't believe it was ever on Nickelodeon. I used to watch it as a little kid, and it seems like the kind of show my parents would keep me from watching.

I remember Rainbow. But Boobah is really terrifying. I have no idea what's going on. Anyone remember superted? I used to love that when I was little! But the guy who looked like a giant spotted banana with legs mentally scarred me. Anyone remember button moon too? I can't remember what went on, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't as warped as some of the rubbish they have on nowadays.....

Woah! Wizbit, Roland Rat, Trapdoor and Superted (Welsh you know ). I really have to get some of these shows on DVD. @Impossible: You are a Crackout fan? Excellent stuff.

Button moon was a bit dodgy now that I think about it. Overall though I quite liked the childrens programs back when I was a child.
Its things like the Tellytubbies which disturb me, that damn sun with the babyface on it making baby noises was weird.

Button Moon was cool, as was Superted. Funnily enough, my youngest sisters still watch my old tapes of those (amazing that they've survived ten to fifteen years of replays). I've also got videos of Thomas the tank Engine (absolutely timeless!), Fireman Sam (that theme tune rocked!) and Postman Pat which they watch as well. Have you noticed that this thread is full of British programmes? Must be all the great quality Brit kids shows that came out of the 80s

Originally posted by PCC Fred: Ooh, did you guys get the Superted car safety ad too? "Not behind the bus, Spotty!" I used to love Superted. I think I may have even had a toy of him And I remember that advert too! Thomas The Tank Engine was pure class. All my old Thomas train tracks and sets are still in the attic. Button Moon was also awesome. My sister got to see it live in the mid-80s, lucky Originally posted by SJM 'The Trapdoor' wasn't disturbing, Impossible! It was awesome! The first theme song I ever learned. It was to me! I was scared of just about everything when I was little ... I remember having a fear of the Michelin Man... Thinking about it now, I've just remembered this TV show that was on in the early 90's called The Riddlers, which was good. Had some freaky puppet things in it though. And for the record, this is Boohbah:

What?! Where?! Tell me fazey! You have to! I'm pretty sure I went to a superted show too. I know I got a toy of spotty and superted from a theatre place... (or I could have possibly dreamed all of it) I don't know what I don't like about spotty. Maybe it was just his voice or his hair that annoyed me. Although I can't remember Button moon live very well, I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it. Davie: that button moon stuff is quite weird. Was it really like that? but I remember the song. Does anyone remember Sharky and George? The crimebusters of the sea?! I had a tape of them somewhere, but the only thing I can remember was a fish who was a clown running away or something....
