so... what shows did you like as a kid, what shows do you like now?. this topic is for you all to talk and remember happy memories of the old shows!
ebnjoy and have fun
Omg there were so many shows I liked when I was little. Barney, Spongebob, to many!
Oh wow. So, so many good shows. Some of my favorites were the Gummybears, Ureka's Castle, Alf, Fraggle Rock, the Smirfs, the Flintstones and the Jetsons. I'll post more as I think of them.
hmm, cliffard the big red dog, sesame street, arthor, doug(nicolodian version), cow and chicken, Jonney Bravo, dragon tales, lam chop, puzzle place, between the lions, barney (yeah, I think that's one most of us liked), JayJay the jet plane, telly tubbies (all though I'm not sure why I liked that one), Thomas the tank engine, and more...
ah, and how could I forget rugrats...
ray, i think you have really good taste. :). loved cliferd, the theme tune was just so catchy. tubbies were just so sad it made me laugh.... haha, and thomas... well, ringo star sure did a good job
i can watch all the shows anyway on a channel here in england, so that's good!
rugrats?. bleh!
let me just say.... dam you mr cookie monster, why did you have to change?
c is for cookie, nothing else!
I watched the Rugrats too. I also loved, loved Lambchop! How could I forget about her! Shining Time Station, which is what Thomas was taken from, was one we watched too. I also liked Are you Afraid of the Dark?
Hmmm lets see so many good shows back in the day I use to watch. I watched rugrats,doug,are you afraid of the dark,catdog,shining town station, the kid shows on PBS, some stuff on the disney channel,Ren and Stimpy,The Flintstones,jetsons and Scooby Doo. I'm sure I've probably forgot to mention some, but some of the shows that are mentioned on here I use to watch.
i watched thundercats, centurians, transfromers, and a little known thing called the raccoons, which had the most amazing theme tune going!
I was all about Nickelodeon as a kid, my faves were Rugrats, Doug, Hey Arnold!, All That (only the first few seasons before it began sucking) and oh God, so many more. Is it just me, or has the quality of kids TV really declined since we were little? Seriously, Spongebob? Completely pointless, at least the old NickToons had decent plots and characters that actually made sense. And don't even get me started about the crap on the Disney Channel now. I sort of feel bad for kids today. Fortunately most of the shows on PBS are still pretty watchable. I must admit, I do occasionally tune into Arthur or Sesame Street if I'm up early enough to catch them.
yes, Krisme, at the risk of sounding like a Grandma, I do think kids TV has seriously declined since a lot of us were little. I watched a ton of Nickelodeon stuff, too. Today's Special, the Koalas, David the Gnome, Pinwheel. I also watched a lot of PBS shows: Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, Electric Company, the PolkaDot Door, and Wishbone. I don't think Wishbone was on till I was slightly older, but I liked it anyway. Oh, and Hey arnold was good, too. I usually wasn't much for saturday morning cartoons, with the exceptions of Alvin and The Chipmunks, SheRah, and a show called Jen and the Holograms. I liked that one cuz it had music.
heheeh jem was so crap. well yes kids tv is so shit now.
I agree. My sister and I are always reminiscing on old shows we used to watch, and how they just aren't the same anymore. They should bring back the old shows. They were great.
David the Gnome was another one we watched. That was a cute show. I also liked All That, but like Krisme said, it started to suck really bad after a few years.
Did you guys watch Captain Kangaroo? We used to watch that one too.
ah, I remember are you afraid of the dark. cat dog was awsome! ren and stimpy I never got into.
Lambchops, Sesame street[before they kacked on it], The puzzle place[I swear for a while, my cousin sounded like Leon!], Reading rainbow, Shining time station, Full house, Family matters, Fresh prince, step by step, boy meets world, Sabrina, zzoom, Arthur, Camp caraboo, Take part, various other incarnations of sharon, lois and Bram, Eric's world and probably a bunch more I can't think of at the moment.
lol good topic . lots of them were already mentioned, so i won't double post them, but i loved kids incorporated, the snorks, strawberry shortcake, care bears, inspector gadget, punky brewster, duck tales, threes company, wasn't a cartoon, but i liked it. lol i'm sure there's lots more, but i'll stop there.
Oh my gall! Sister Dawn, polka dot door and SheRa. That brings back memories!
I remember Captain Kangaroo and a local show called Boomarang.
I was a big fan of Mr. Rogers; loved that show!
Sesame Street. Some of where in the world is Carman San diago. I use to really like a cartoon, I think it was called the blazers or something.
I liked little house, full house, growing pains, family ties, hunter, the Hogans (I think), and...
It seemed like Nickelodeon was just beginning when I was a kid, but I kind remember this show, where they always had a opposites segment. I don't remember the name of the show though. Oh and I liked double dare...lol!
My favorites included Ghost Writer, Reading Rainbow, Where in the World/Where in Time is Carmin San Diego, Puzzle Place, Lamb Chops (I know, PBS Kid!), Rug Rats, Square One TV (best show for teaching math, ever.) Arthur, Caitlin's Way (Teen show, but we're counting it here), Just Deal, Shining Time station, and... that's it for now.
Cant forget tom and jerry!!
Oh, and who can forget different strokes and webster!? Lololol!
Holy crap! I can't believe I totally forgot Carmen San Diego and Double Dare! Both of those were great shows. My Mom particularly got annoyed when friends and I attempted to invent our own version of Double Dare, including home-made slime out of whatever handy ingredients were in the kitchen. LOL!
hm, the quiz version of where in the world is carman sandiago, thundercats, baby muppets, the origional teenaged mutant ninja turtles, inspecter gaget, the bots master, mr. Ragers, arther, dragon tails, guenavere and the jewel riders(blehhh spelling of that), sailor moon, the first two seasons of digimon, the early episodes of pokemon, metaBots, the old Mega Man, rugrats, the origional, bill Ney the science guy, wishbone, sesemey street before it got all different, uh, that's about it.
so i'm not the only one who remembers punky brewster. hehehe are you talking of the cartoon one with that silly alien thingy in it, um, gloomar wasn't that his name? hehe sad ain't it that i remember all that years later.
oh!. how the hell could i forget sailor moon!. great show when it was on 1 of my local channels (fox kids!). um... yeah, what about padington bear?. surprised no one mentioned him
paddington bear? yeah. and hasn't michael bond written a fiftyth birthday edition or something?
Hmmmm. I remember having a Paddington Bear doll as a little girl, but I don't remember the TV show.
To post 18, the show you were thinking of with the opposite sketches was "You can't do that on television." This was one of my favorites growing up.
Mmmmmmm! Ok didn't watch much tv but here goes:
Rugrats, mmmmmmmm! Had to love it!
Doug too!
Hey Arnold, cant leave it out!
And well, I cant think of anymore cartoons.
I guess you could say I didn't grow up very normally. i only watched those when I was about 8, on up. Oh, also Gulla Gulla Island.
Ok, so what did I watch at night then?
6:30 pm. Wheel, of, fortune! Of course, this was when I was about 7 or even before...
7 pm. Unsolved Mysteries, of course!
And of course, this was indeed if I got the tv at all because most of the time my grandma watched novelas, so I kind of grew up watching them too!
I also sometimes watched Young and the Restless, and all that....The Price is Right, Jeperdy, Opra, and Morrie, and Christina! And Saturdays were never the same unless I saw Sabado Gigante!
Ok, maybe I did watch a litttle more than I thought! Lol!
I use to watch Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Doug, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Captain Planet, Batman, Transformers (still do as matter a fact) and some other shows that seemed to have escaped my memory.
i loved wheel of fortune, although the puzzles were a bit hard for my poor little brain... lol
loved gulla gulla, hmm... used to stop what i was doing just to watch that!. i know the theme song... but i won't embarrass myself. lol
Gola Gola Island, Muppet Babies, Shining Time Station, Barney, Sesame Street, Story Time, Puzzle Place, Rug Rats, Are You Afraid Of Th Dark, All That (first few seasons), Eureka's Castle, Doug, Alvin And The Chipmunks, Arthur, Zoom, Magic School Bus, Lamb Chop, Reading Rainbow... and probably a whole host of others.
man! Miss those as well. It pissed me off when Magic School Bus went to FOX because they had commercials during the shows. Another show I sort of miss, it wasn't as good as Lam Chops Play Along but it was good, was Charley Horse Music Pizza, and Wimzey's House on PVS. Well bye for now.
The shows that I watch with my son are:
Yo Gabba Gabba, Little Bill, Go Diego Go, Little Bear and sometimes Max and ruby and Blue's Clues. We watch a lot of Noggin at our house. It sort of just (ns in the backgroud while we eat and play and stuff.
Omg I forgot I used to watch Barney too! I liked Sessimee Street and also Lamchops but I didn't start watching that till I was about ten. Sometimes I liked Reading Rainbow and Carmen San Diego, mmmmmmm! Forgot about those! Lol!
Magic Schoolbus was cool too, and Arthur, and yeah sometimes Blues Clues, but of course, I was about ten! And oh, this is a little embarrassing, but Mr. rogers, and that art show I forgot the name of it. Happyland or something like that!
Hmmmm. I remember a kids art show called Secret City. I liked it, even though it was about art.
Wow, I haven't posted to this board yet... On PBS, I watched Lambchop, Arthur, Ghost Writer, Shining Time Station, and Reading Rainbow. Loved Pokemon and Cardcaptors. I also like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, Full House, and Boy Meets World.
omg, I forgot a out ghost writer, then there's charmed, sabrina the teenaged witch, not the cartoon one mind you, the cartoon of ghost busters, sigh I miss that show, dragon tales, uh,,,
I was a PBS Kid. Also loved Alan Strange, Hey Arnold, Magic Schoolbus, and Rugrats
omg! zoom? I fuckin looooved that. Captain planet was awsome. they used to show it at like 5 in the morning, so I'd wake up just to see it. hahaha
Hey, Arnold! was awsome too, I liked the haunted train one. hmm, there has to be more I'm missing...
wild thornberries was good the rugrats, when they were babies that is, I think that's all my brain can come up with right now
Oh man!!
The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Garfield & Friends, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Lamb Chop, Thomas The Tank Engine, Reading Rainbow, Barney, Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, Whinney the Pooh, Doug, Alf, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Bugs Bunny (& all the friends that went along with him so Porky Pig, Merry Melody, Daffy Duck etc), Ducktales, Tailspin, Inspector Gadget, Clarisa Explains it All, Double Dare, Doug (Polywog? Does anyone else remember that show? It was on Nic, it had the word Island in the title, & I think they had a pet Polywog or something like that), Doug, Are You Afraid Of The Dark, Carmen San Diego, Clifford, Baby Muppets, Bill Ney the Science Guy, Tom & Jerry Kids, Darkwing Duck, Rescue Rangers, (A show on Fox, noone can ever tell me it's name, but it stuck out because it had Warriors in it, & it was the only what you might call "boys" show that I liked. In our local market I want to think it came on at about 2PM, right after Top Cop at 1 & Murphy Brown at 1:30. They were heading into their kids block, but those were the two shows that procedded it), Beatlejuice!, Denis The Menace, Bobby's World, Tiny Toons, Pinky & The Brain, Looney Tunes, Captain Planet, & I think that's it! Lol.
Also, was Story Time the one with the little kid or whatever he was named Keno? If it is, then that's what I've ben thinking of for years, only I couldn't say the name of the show until I read here & people reminded me!
Man, all these shows should be out on DVD!!!
michelle, you are thinking of gulla gulla island!. it was one of my absolute faves!. ashame that it got replaced by busy town, or the busy world of richard scary.
how can i forget blues clues... blue the puppy is so cute!
wiggly park was also a fave of mine, E W the worm, shelley the snail and someone else...
Thank you!!
You reminded me of another of my faves to!!
Gloria Gopher! Can't believe I forgot it the first time round!
omg. Bobby's world, Alf, alvin and the chipmunks, bozo the clown. lmao, what would you do, the flinstones, the jetsons, rocky and bullwinkle, pink panther....ok. i'm done now. lmao
OMG!!! How the heck did I forget Rocky & Bullwinkle??????????????? I am a terrible fan! Lol. Love that show!
you're welcome michelle, i was devoted to watching that. every day, 12.00, there i was in front of the tv watching gulla gulla. :)
love the episode where they made a rain band, i think that was really clever
I was able to hunt down a few bits & pieces of episodes last night on youtube! Woohoo!!! It was awesome!
Does anyone think its weird that I'm now seventeen, and just watched an episode of the jetsons? I loved it, made me laugh, though just about anything does. :)
lol haha, i'd love to find a copy of the theme, michelle
Go to youtube & look under my playlists, at the one titled "Rocking Kid's Comercials & Theme Songs!" It's under that one, & if you listen to them all, maybe you'll find some other cool stuff.
Na, it was probably off the air by the time you were coming up. I know my sister only remembers because we have on demand & can watch some of the eppisodes on there. Woohoo! Lol.
If you go to ilovewavs.com, you can hear all kinds of theme songs for TV shows under "TV show theme songs," or something like that.
michelle, do you have a link for the play list?
thanks
I can't believe you all forgot the shows like Saved By the Bell, Charles In charge, The Brady Bunch, Power Rangers, VR Troopers, Double Dragons, The Hurricanes, Masked Rider, The Wonder Years, King Arthur And the Knights of Justice...
You all have no idea what it means to see good TV!
There was Blossom and Full House and Out Of This World and The Simpsons, too.
Well even though it wasn't strictly seaking a kids' show my favorite show growing up, particularly in the teen years, was Rescue 911. Others included Bravestar, The Dinosaucers, Ninja Turtles (the 80's version), Captain N: The Game Master, Inspector Gadget, David the Gnome, Mr. Wizard's World, and, my absolute favorite Nickelodian show, You Can't do that on Television. Ah, the days when TV was actually worth watching.
ooo yea. I love saved by the bell, and lol. I used to watch the power rangers all the time. lmfao...and Teenage Mutan Nija Turtles are just awsum.
oh, my, god, someone else actually has heard of VR troopers, oh my, god!! yes, there was another one, yes I was so a tom boy, but, this show, had to be like 1990 called the bots master, now, that is just, old, oo, bill nye the science guy, deffenatly too, pitty that show isn't on any more, oh my god, some of the stuff he used to do would make me laugh histarically.
What about the old Disney shows that came on in the morning? I can't remember the names of them, but they were cool too. Does anyone else know what I'm referring to? They were the shows that came on in the early '90's. My cousins and I used to lay there and watch them before school.
Holy crap, my childhood! omg, someone actually knows Masked Rider, although I grew up watching the old Japanese series. Kamen Rider, V3, black, x, amazon, stronger, lol I'm forgetting a few
I found and bought a DVD box set with all of the movies ever made for Masked Rider! haha
Other Japanese heros I grew up with are Kikaida and kikaida 01, Raideen, super sentai, akumizer3, altra man/7, zaboga, and more.
o and i almost forgot. the ledgens of the hidden temple
how could i forget that one, that was cool!
anyone remembers the weekenders?. i watched that one well in to my teens as well, but i loved it.
and oh, the magic school bus is awsome... i have the computer game somewhere.
anyone remember some of the older shows like bagpus, mister ben, ivor the engine etc?
i think i'm going to cry!!!! you guys are talking about the so called old shows which were around when I was a parent. Waaaaaa!!!!! I loved the old sesame street before cookie sold out to the earthy crunchy crowd. Oscar was and still is one of my mentors. To this day at times of boredom I hear placido flamingo in my head. I also love reading rainbow. My kids love love loved barnie. I had to have insulin nearby while watching it but it was a good show for what it was. My two favorite kids shows were wishbone and arthur. Don't tell but sometimes I still watch my favorite aardvark when no one else is around.
I liked My Little Pony the Raccoons Pound Puppies, Pooh Corner, Fraggle Rock, Dumbo's Circus Nick Arcade, Legends of the hiden temple double dare guts doug rugrats thornberries and many of the others mentioned. Basically disney nicolodian and pbs shows. Also a lot of shows they have on the boomerang network now like jetsons smerfs etc. Good times! Tv for kids today is so crappy. 80's and 90's cartoons rock! They should bring them back!
I liked garfield and I don't like any now.
Batman Superman Adventures, Super Friends, Yugio, Dragonball Z, Pokemon, X-men, Spiderman, the original Megaman, and Tiny Toons to name a few along with the others mentioned, and Simsons.
Oh yeah and I am currently getting the seasons of Boy Meets World from a friend of mine now, and I still watch Pokemon now, don't laugh, but I still like it, and oh yeah Seventh Heaven.
Oh my, so many great memories. Well, the ones that shaped my childhood the most were Fraggle Rock, Under the Umbrella Tree, Adventures In Wonderland, The House At Pooh Corner, and The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, the latter of which I never saw on TV, but only watched a few episodes on VHS.
More currently, I watch Lilo & Stitch the Series, (maybe not quite as good as the movies, but still pretty good), and the Wild Thornberrys.
Just thought of Megaman NT Warrior, the original one as well, Batman Beyond, The Batman, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS, hmm I'll have to think of more.
kids tv now is just crap.
I watched the ABC religiously when I was a kid.
I loved the animals of Farthing Wood...actually that's the only one I can think of at the moment. there were loads though.
I forgot The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Muppet Babies (though I barely remember it), and Are You Afraid of the Dark.
muppet babies, yes, i was sooo tiny, winnie the pooh! yay! i had a ton of the videos. smiles... arthur, yay! and, call me a wierd one. dragon tales. crap, i even have a pink cassie plushy, and i don't care, dragon tails i watched as long as i can remember, oh, i forgot about the origional mega man, the origional sonic the hedghog, thundercats, metabots, grins...
now thundercats rock even now. i think they should bring audio described dvd out of that. roarhrhr that they don't.
yes, massive roarage!
My mom babysits in the evening, and sometimes I used to go with her. When the kids were little, I watched a lot of Dragon Tails and Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat. Good times!
i always thought snarf was so cool from thundercats. they had it all there, technology, but good values too. *grin*
Think I was a bit to yung for that. My kind of shows were:
Wren and Stimpey, the rug rats, Doug, etc.
I also always liked the Simsons...still do.
Now a days, I don't watch that much t v actually.
Thundercats rules! Snarf is one of the coolest tv characters I've ever seen, lol he cracks me up.
yes, thundercats, smile... especially that blind one, i forget who he was, but, yeah. now that was cool!
the blind thudnercat was one of the periferal characters i think, and was a new adition in the later episodes i think. hmm, i don't remember his name now, though i remember reading about him. yah and snarf was so funny, though he'd often get his paws burnt by the bad guys if i remember right. he also had trouble realising lion-o had grown up, which i think was kind of sweet, if very funny at times too. off to find out the name of that blind character in thundercats.
info from from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ThunderCats_characters
Lynx-o
Lynx-O (voice by Doug Preis) — The oldest of the trio, based on the lynx, Lynx-O was spared the sight of the destruction of their homeworld by a cruel twist of fate: a blast of intense heat and fire blinded him moments before he and his two younger companions were rescued, leaving his eyes red, denoting blindness. Because of this injury, Lynx-O has had to adapt to survive on Third Earth, and has done so by honing his other senses to superhuman levels. His sense of touch, smell, taste and hearing are far above those of the other ThunderCats, and this affords him a type of "sixth sense," though it is not like the one Cheetara possesses. Though blind, Lynx-O is still a formidable fighter. His sense of touch allows him to find pressure points on a foe’s body to knock them off balance or stun them. He can also feel vibrations, which allow him to evade attacks and capture, and can use a Sonic Reflector as a weapon in combat. His greatest skill comes in utilizing a special "braille board" — a device that allows him to translate information coming from sensor systems inside the Tower of Omens, enabling him to see into the gloom of Dark Side. This same device also allows him to pilot the Thunderstrike aircraft through the Valley of Mists when the ThunderCats need to find a way through to Dark Side.
also, that page has some great info about snarfs too, which i didn't know. makes me love them even more twenty years after i saw my last thundercats episode! yay! snarf! snarf! hahahaahah
or snarfer too, now that was cute..
snarfer snarfer
yes well snarfer was younger than snarf, and was a bit headstrong wasn't he. i think he managed to annoy his uncle snarf a bit. *smile*
and yes you can't beat the snarfs for cuteness, indeed, i remember a plush one being sold in the mid to late eighties, now i believe they are selling on ebay for a packet.
awwww! so, from what i remember they're part cat/lizard type things, at least that's what they looked like to me...
cue the evil mummy dude who needed to die painfully.
snarf wasn't a lizard at all, i had a really good description of him done by someone on a board. go here. www.http://www.80scartoons.co.uk/
i can't find the description at the moment, but he was like a big cat really with human like fore and hind paws and pointed ears, pinky nose too, along with his hands and feet which were pink too. slightly red eyes? hmm, yellow inner ears, pink belly, pink underside to tail and red fur on upper body, but with yellow stripe going down back? jog memories? very cute, i always wanted to give him a hug, for i always felt sorry for him.
Snarf's hands and feet were naked too, his red fur ending at the ankles and wrists, if that makes any sense.
and snarf had white whiskers, quite a fiew of them if i remember too.
and here's a page with thundercats info on it.
http://www.80scartoons.co.uk/thundercats2.php
does anyone remember a show with a load of dogs, there was a white one named dash, and a brown one with white paws named Pd?
i think that was all dogs go to heaven, or something like taht, onl looking it up.
no, not all dogs go to heaven, although that too was a good cartoon.
and another was, late 90s, road rovers.. that was good too, but i'm odd like that.
but i still think the snarf is cute as. *smile*
I'm afraid I differ with the poster who sees Sponge Bob as pointless. This is the only t v show I love to watch with my daughter. I love the way it parodies just about everything and everyone, from the fast food industry, to human institutions like the Prom and petting zoos, to artist wannabe's. I love the Squidward character, even though he's such a wannabe. I can relate to him on a level, like after 8 hours at work I just want to chill out and be by myself or with family. I cannot understand social butterflies like my husband, which is kind of how Sponge Bob is with his best friend Patrick. I actually have favorite episodes, like the one where Squidward wound up a homeless bum and camped out at Sponge Bob's house after quitting his job, and the one where Patrick became "Patricia" to hide out from someone he felt was trying to chase him out of town. We get many a laugh out of this show!
It sure is entertaining

I used to watch Rug Rats, Doug, Bill Ny the science Guy, Reading Rainbow, Wishbone, Are You Afraid of the Dark, All That, Arthur, Sesame Street, Puzzle Place, Barney, Goosebumps, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. if I think of more, I'll be sure to post them.
Wishbone was awesome too! I totally forgot about him! He was sooo cuuuute!
I remember the VR Troopers. I could never quite get into that. And while the original Power Rangers and the ones featuring Lord Zedd could be quite funny, my absolute favorites were Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, the former more than the latter. Not only did Astronema have one hell of a hot, sexy voice, that was one woman I definitely wouldn't want to have gotten on the bad side of. Trakeena was pretty cool too. Dark Specter and Scorpius were pretty cool but Dark Specter always sort of got on my nerves.
Oh., and then there were those Super Mario Brothers and Legend of Zelda cartoons. They were funny when I was young but now that I look back on them Marion and Luigi were more concerned with eating pasta and whatnot than saving the Mushroom Kingdom. Oh they'd thrash Koopa right enough but they always had their minds on food. And in Zelda, Link was rather whiny and annoying and Zelda was just bossy as hell. My favorite though would have to be Captain N: The Game Master. There were some fun times...

eeeeek, i forgot about puzzle place.. and, dragontails, cuz i'm odd, well was, bots master, one show no one has heard of, princess gewnifer and the jewel riders, another show no one has heard of,
sonic the hedghog, the oldold old one, from 1990-1992
the old TNT, from the same time span,
digimon, pokemon, metabots, the old mega man, madlibs, scooby doo, any of them. justice friends, super friends, uh, can't think of more at the moment...
I actually remember the Bots Master. I remember that the Corp robots always sounded like that Dr. Sbaitso program you used to get on the Soundblaster sound card years and years ago. As for Sonic I agree about the old TV show. And the old TMNT (the newer ones just didn't cut the cracker).
I was a little old to watch much kids' TV in the Eighties. I'm going to show my age when I say that when I was little the area I lived in had only three channels and one of them was PBS, so we didn't even have three dedicated network channels, the two had to share. So when I started watching TV at probably four or five years old, Sesame Street was just starting as well as Mister Rogers and the Electric Company later on. The Jetsons, Bullwinkle, and Underdog were aired but were in reruns at that point. Fat Albert, Scooby-doo and all its many clones, the Archys, the Groovy Goolies, and other shows were brand new. Let's not forget the animated Star Trek and I saw the real Star Trek in reruns. Six Million Dollar Man, and there was Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers when I was on the younger side of my teens. WE got cable and I was able to see more reruns like Lost in Space, Gilligan's Island and the original 1966 Batman. I miss that one and wish Warner's and Fox would work something out where they could be released on DVD.
Ah yes. I actually remember the original Batman, The Jetsons (""Jetson, you're fired!") and vaguely the original Star Trek. Contrary to popular belief it's apparently not a theremin in the theme song but someone singing like one.
drewl i miss the jetsons... and the flintstones...
and someone actually remembers the bots master, holly crap. i was in kindeer garden. shows how young i was...
.
i loved sing me a story. :)
remember watching it on playhouse disney
I was fourteen when Bots Master was on TV. But one of my favorite shows as a kid was Pinwheel.
ah yes I remember the gummy bears. They drank that juice and they'd just bounce along.
The only children's shows I used to watch were Thomas the Tank Engine and Sessemy Street. I used to find all the cartoon type things like Telly tubbies and Scooby doo rather boring, but did like some other program that I can't remember the name of now.
aside from some of the shows mentioned above i also like
brandy and mr whiskers. naturally sadie. 100 deeds for eddie mcdowd. 6teen. ned's declasefide school survival guide. Little Lord Fauntleroy 1988 (Japanese
anime
featuring 43 episodes called "
Shoukoushi Cedie") AKA Cedie, The Little Prince version. all that. ghost writer. fantastic max. all grown up. g.i jow. goosebumps. the strange world of alex mac. x men the tv series. the power rangers origenal series. the gost busters. small wonder. avatar the last airbender. and lots of anime...
O! i forgot dannie phantom. and black hole high.
ok, it's so many I don't know where to start. I use to watch, The Littles, Richie Rich, pinwheel, today's special, the bloodhound gang, you can't do that on television, electric company, mister rogers, Charles in charge, sesame street, the smurfs, alvin and the chip monks, fraggle rock, the shirt tails, alf, and so much more
Oh yeah, I forgot about kids in coorporated and strawberry shortcake
I just remembered zoom, the romper room and silver spoons
My favorite kid show of all time was GUlla Gulla Island. Such a creative show. The music was all aranged and roduced by the father, and it was just great. i loved others to, sesame street, rugrats, little bear, hay arnald, but nothing like Gulla Gulla Island.
I used to love out of the box.
All right boys and girls, let's go bakc to the dark ages, when everything was in black and white. I watched Howdy Doody, Pinky Lee, Fury, Paul Winchell & Jerry Mahoney, Kukla, Fran & Ollie, Captain Kangaroo, Lassie, Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, The Mickey Mouse Club, The Three Stooges, and anything that had cartoons and/or puppets. I think the cartoons were better then in spite of the "violence'" It didn't affect me. All those years of watching Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry, and I have never dropped an anvil on anyone.
When my kids were kids, we (the whole family) watched Sesame Street, Mister Rogers, 3-2-1 Contact, and Lassie.
Today, I don't watch cartoons, unless I'm on vacation in a hotel. Then, I like to watch SpongeBob and Jimmy Neutron.
Ah yes, I remember the chipmunks. Alvin?..Alvin?...Aaaalviiiin! LOL.
Oh yeah, Ding Dong School.
I used to really like PBS, so I watched most of the stuff on there. Also a bit of Nicolodian stuff, (this was already when Nicolodian went haywire) but I mostly watched TV for the comercials, to find out what stuff was new and how comercials were made. I used to love the magic school bus when I was little
Commercials were better when I was a kid. Networks didn't feel the need to clutter themselves with adds for stuff, so there was actually more time for actual television. Companies had about thirty seconds or so in which to advertise their product, so they were more creative. Hence all the old jingles and skits that used to get stuck in your head for hours or days on end. Nowadays commercials just suck. Then again so does TV in general for the most part.
agree with you brian. these days tv is really awfull. what ever happened to all the good shows?. as for comercials, most of them these days are just anoying- i hate the comercial for space bags and also the ones that try and spend at least 5 or so minits of your time trying to sell you stuff
dan- it's nice to find another fan of gulla gulla. looks like that one has been forgotten by so many- but it is awsome
Another show I remember loving was The Elephant Show. It was a late 80's early 90's show.
I have to add here too "voltron" the one with the lion in it, there was a car voltron but really did not like that one much. Its found on netflix!!, I think I will watch it to night!!. Go voltron!!!. Yes, I love!!! transformers, still watch and own most of the 80s series, it made me happy to see the person who did optimis come back to do the movies version of the transformers.
I remember he sound effect from the 80's transformers for wen they would transform. My brother had a bunch of those toys and he would always make the noise whenever he would change them between their various shapes. And I do remember the Elephant Show as well. Then there was David the Gnome and Fred Penner's Place.
Oh yes you can't do that on televission was just brilliant!
I don't know if anybody else noticed this but the melody for the you Can't theme music is more or less the same as the Lone Ranger theme. I remember noticing that when I was little. I think one of my favorite kids shows was Mr. Wizard's World.
And also the Secret World of Alex Mack! i still love it til this day! It was my favorite live action 90's Nickelodeon show. Then came Journey of Allen Strange and Mystery Files of Shelby Woo as well as Are You Afraid of the Dark!
Yes all good shows indeed! And I did also like Mr. Wizzard.
I think that boy meets world should now be considered as one of the oldies shows that's going to be a classic of its time. I've seen few shows as funny or as educational as Boy Meets World. Though one good thing that can be said about most of the oldies or almost oldies is that they had a healthy balance of education and commedy in them. If we were to watch most of the shows that are currently being shown now however, we'd see that they care more about special affects than actually conveying something decent to the audience that watches them. Hense the current decline of the current generation of smart-phone iPod-carrying children!
Aa well, at least we have Dexter for now! That's the only modern-day show I willingly keep up with.
They need to release You Can't on DVD. And ten they need to make those Mr. Wizard DVD sets available again. I seem to remember there was one episode where he had a talking computer and he was eaching one of the girls about speech synthesizers and how they worked. That was pretty neat.
And he had a robot that could count.
hmm. i miss the magic school bus. ooh and dragontails. was good when i was a kid, found eps on youtube and i'm like uh did i actually watch this?
not stopping me from getting rid of my stuffed cassie plushie though. rofl.
Never really got into the magic school bus that much. It was okay.
Anyone else remember Pinwheel? And Ureeka's Castle? Good times...
I do remember youreeka's castle.
Yup, with the bat and the dragon. LOL.

It may sound odd, but Ninja Turtles is actually a relatively new fandom for me.
My cousin, who's only a few months younger than me, was very big into it when we were little. I had a very slight curiosity about it when I got a little older, but never gave it much thought. Fastforward several years, and I'm now a huge fan of Lilo & Stitch, all the movies and the cartoon. One of my favorite characters from that franchise is Reuben, experiment 625, voiced by Rob Paulsen. I found out from a friend, who happens to be Lauren (FaithInGod4ever) that he had a podcast, and I happily subscribed. Imagine my surprise when I found out he played Raphael in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that my cousins and I grew up with! At around the same time my cousin who was fairly obsessed with the show was going through some drama, and so I was thinking about him a lot and remembering the good old days. Plus, it turned out that Lauren and my boyfriend had also been huge TMNT fans growing up! All these facts combined to renew my interest, and I went on youtube and google video to see what I could find. A couple of months later, and I'm probably the oldest new fan around! lol I've seen most of the 03 series, and the first 2 movies all on youtube. I'm not going to choose what version I like best; there are different things I like about both of them.
I always found it funny how Krang sometimes sounded like he was burping.
Lol, never noticed. Ironically, I'm much more familiar with the 2003 version than the older one. Truth be told, I've only seen about the first 1 and a half seasons of the classic one.
Yeah it was pretty funny, especially how whiny and petulant both Krang and Shredder could be. A far cry from Shredder's sinister portrayal in the movies and comics.
I started to reply, felt like I was taking over thread, so started a new one.
clasic TMNT FTW! but yeah i'm wierd...
It's not weird. I'm glad to know another fan!
The show I really enjoyed was that Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad. Then later came Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. Of course because of presumably low ratings they ended up ending the series on a cliffhanger.
That stinks. I understand them having to end or abandon shows sometimes, but I wish they would at least make the effort to wrap them up suitably first.
Yeah, especially Mystic Knights. Because at the end of the last episode Queen Maeve of Temra was finally defeated by the Mystic Knights and so the people of Kells should have finally been free from her threat. But Maeve's old mentor Nemane was still out there and she'd allied herself with the same Dark Fairy Maeve had worked with, so they were right back where they started.
barney and friends seasons 1-3 were the best.
Sorry, were you dropped? lol. Though I'm sure they were the better ones. Usually the original of any show is good and they go downhill so fast. Just that voice makes me shudder. No sir, you don't love me really do you? *runs and hides*
My favorite shows that I use to watch when i was a kid was the telly tubbies barney don't remember the rest.
Flintstones, jetsons, land of the dinosaurs (anyone remember that one) few other old school shows I can't think of at the moment.
Ah yes, the Jetsons. Jetsooon, yooooou're fiiiiired! LOL. As for Teletubbies I swear whoever came up with that one must have been on...something.
don't get me started about those f-jerks! I'd traided those for barney at 4.
