You have basically shared my life! You are my clone! I was born in 1990, I loved Playdays particularly and thought the other two were fairly cool aswell!

And the other four you mentioned!

I was born in 1974 and grew up with the most surreal and mad TV shows ever, for example:-


Bod
Trumpton
Chorlton & the Wheelies
Jamie & the Magic Torch
Rainbow
Battle of the Planets
The Space Sentinels
Going Live
Blue Peter
The Adventure Game
Chocky
Mr Ben
No. 73

This certainly is a Bond-related thread.

Classic Children's TV from when I was a nipper:-

[DaveBond21]

The Classic "Pugh, Pugh ..." from Trumpton and if I'm pushed I can go back to Bill & Ben

Pugh, Pugh, Barley Magroo, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

Also listed in my favourites. And amazing to think it now, but sampled for a Rave hit in 1992. (as a lot of rave hits were back then!).

[Agent 76]

one of my favorites when kiddy...a classic

[gkgyver]

Pokemon used to be great! I still have my trading card collection on my shelf (two mammoth folders) ... I wonder what that's worth nowadays.
Now, they've expanded it to the absurd. It's just too big.

As a kid, I adored these:

I watched a mixed bag of children's shows from PBS to the very very new at the time, Nickelodeon. I was also an avid Mtv watcher but that's for another thread!

One of my favourite shows was called Vegetable Soup, I'm pretty sure. I don't know if I'm getting it mixed up with other shows but there was a house with a big fortune teller puppet, I recall. It also played shorts of Paddington Bear, King Rollo, and these little fast moving stop motion characters, a boy and a girl, who lived in a blank white 'world' and built up levels on translucent coloured boxes, they seemed to be Mexican, though I couldn't be sure I was a little kid.

I also watched Electric Company, 321 Contact, Tomorrow People, You Can't Do That On Television, Mr Wizard, Dangermouse and Count Duckula. But had time for GI Joe, Thundercats, He-man and She-Ra every day too. I can't forget, Batman and The Green Hornet. The Monkees and The Beatles cartoons on Saturdays.

I was a latchkey kid, both parents worked, so I guess I watched a little too much tv! I'm surprised my brain's not mush! Though I did get plenty of sunshine between shows, and even owned rode horses too.

Here in Seattle, way, way back in the day- two kids programs were tops-

JP Patches (KIRO, Ch 7)

and

Brakeman Bill (KTNT, Ch 11)


Both were local programs, but all the adults over 40 here grew up on them.

[Mark_Hazard]

The Classic "Pugh, Pugh ..." from Trumpton and if I'm pushed I can go back to Bill & Ben

Bill & Ben the Flowerpot Men, that was one of my earliest "Watch with Mother" programmes. The others being Picture Book (with Patricia Driscoll - Robin Hood's Maid Marian); Andy Pandy; Rag, Tag & Bobtail; and The Woodentops - happy days

I was too old to watch Pete & Pete but that didn't stop me. I loved that show still do!

[Johnboy007]

Anything on Nickelodeon throughout the 1990's ranging from Hey Dude to Pete & Pete to All That and just about every cartoon. That list is endless. Add on Bill Nye, Mr Wizard, Batman cartoons, X-Men, Pokemon, The most watched would be Rugrats, Ahh! Real Monsters, and Rocko's Modern Life. Also a special place for The Muppet Babies cartoons.

Can't leave out Looney Tunes!

And if we expand out to regular shows on TV as I was growing up that I either watched infrequently or would have watched include Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Babylon 5, and possilbly stretching it out to Farscape (I was not that young when it was running).

[Number 6]

The Electric Company

I loved this PBS kid's show when I was little.

Yes, I'm old enough to remember Morgan Freeman as a struggling actor.

[Byron]

Here's one for our European / Japanese friends - ULYSSES 31 or Ulysses in Space.

Catchy theme song, great French/Jap animation and at times quite dark considering it was a kids show.

[Santa]

Marmalade Atkins
Thundercats
Count Duckula
Dangermouse
Terrahawks

[DamnCoffee]

Ooooh I used to love this aswell!

[MkB]

Anyone ever heard of Lady Oscar?

I did! It was set during the French Revolution, and she was a kind of knight who had to dress as a man...

When I was a little kid, I watched The Magic Roundabout (which is cool, because it was an old TV show by that time, that my own mother watched when she was young, so it gives us similar childhood memories ) When I was about 5, we had our first color TV (yes kids, I'm a kind of dinosaur - but neither sexist nor misogynist! )and my first memory of a color TV show is an episode of The Magic Roundabout.
I was a big fan of Sesame Street, then Fraggle Rocks and the Muppets.
About animated TV series, my favourites were
Captain Future, Masters of the Universe, Candy Candy, Grendizer, Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, The Smurfs, Scooby-Doo and the wonderful The Mysterious Cities of Gold.

It all seems so far...
