Goosebumps never really scared me, I found them quite enjoyable to read at a young age, but never scary.
"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" however, had some shit scary storylines (well they were to me when I was younger). All I can remember about it is children usually got trapped in a dark place, ran around for a good bit, then ran away from some evil guy. They usually got caught at the end though.

Here's some that I haven't forgotten, oh my no.....I still wake up at night......
Willo The Wisp (Kenneth Williams - what a star!)
Nutty Noah and Niggly Nellie (not sure if this was its name, they used to travel around in this weird spotty flying ship called the Skylark and Nellie used to knit a lot)
The Singing Ringing Tree - this was a multipart drama from East Germany, badly dubbed into English and played daily over the summer holidays. There were slightly too many episodes for the holiday, so we never saw the beginning or the end, and it never made a great deal of sense. Everybody I've ever met who saw it found it terrifying. Especially the dwarf.
The "Charley Says" ads
Any of the public information films eg, "Driver fatigue" and especially the escalator one. This featured a lovely dollie getting horribly mutilated after being dropped on an escalator. I think this was to show you what would happen if you messed around on escalators. Again, everybody I've ever met who saw it found it terrifying.
There was also a live action drama in the 70s, which had a title sequence that showed time sort of juddering to a halt, I can't remember much about it but it scared the shit out of me.
However, the first time I saw teletubbies and Pokemon, I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought they were piss takes. I loath Boohbahs, Tweenies, and Ballamory which truly is the Village of the damned! Have you seen "Tiny Planets" with Bing and Bong? Aw they are soooooo cute, until they accepted sponsorship.......

Originally posted by maddoc3d: Who Framed Roger Rabbit was kinda disturbing too, as well as The Hobbit by Rankin Bass (when I was real little)..
I never found it too disturbing, although while many children watch it, there are some bits which are quite adult.

Never much liked "Rosie and Jim" or "Tots TV", never was a big fan of spongey faces. "Brum" was something I didn't much like either, but I remember getting some fun from it. Me and a friend used to cover up the 'r' in his name when it came up in big letters on the screen. Well, we thought we were funny.

Originally posted by Lurrr: That's an urban legend. Unless someone proves me wrong, I think you'll find their names are different. Urban Myth Contrary to popular belief, the names of his crew were not particularly smutty. 'Master Bates', 'Seaman Staines' and 'Roger the Cabin Boy' (plus the later addition of 'Simon the Bar Steward') being the names often quoted as proving the programme's dodginess. The Guardian was not the only publication which had to make an apology after printing the story that the BBC had withdrawn the program after finding out the dodgy names. It is a shame, but unfortunately John Ryan did not choose these names. They would have made the program even better, though. The story may have come about from the name "Master Mate", which seems to have sometimes been slightly mispronounced. In the episode Fair Exchange (BBC video, "Seafaring Tales" ), part of Pugwash's final line doesn't sound quite like it is supposed to. Click on the link to hear the clip (25k) - his voice certainly could be misconstrued! http://www.redflag.co.uk/images/pugwash/idid.wav Guess I was wrong!

Brum was one of my favourite shows of all time. What a smart guy car. Tot's tv! Didn't they live in a big house and there was a little dog thing that peeped out from corners and stalked them or something? I think my mum bought me a toy of that when I was younger, that was quite disturbing.
