Maaaaaan, I remember that! Barely!

Gravedale High is one I haven't seen mentioned in the last few posts - so I just have to throw that in there.

Pugwall was...good...but it was one of those shows that rested better in my memory. I saw it on vacation recently - and Pugwall (The guy himself) always seemed so much cooler in my head than he was (think of an Australian Zack Morris or something :P)

Eek the cat - ooooo... loved that.

Anyone remember Bobby's World? That seemed to spawn the trend of 'noogies' from his Uncle Ted.

Beakman's World was also shown on that channel wasn't it? That was crazy stuff I tells ya.

This is Syd_Vicious speaking...

Ahhh TCC.....so many memories

They showed so many cartoons such as Lampchops, Garfield, Dr. Snuggles, Beverly Hills Teens etc.

Anyone remember a programme where Timmy Mallet had a real-life gameshow with Wolf from Gladiators and another woman (who I thought was fit

)?

TCC did turn crap after a while where they only showed repeats of Earthworm Jim, Bots Master, Gigantor etc.

But one T.V. show I will always remember was on Sky One after DJ Kat was gone for a few years...

I don't remember what it was called but it starred an Adams Family clone of sorts with a talking moose head, the two kids who talked to the camera and did all the competitions and a woman who refused to tell her age. I liked that program a lot but for one reason only - the now infamous...

Grusome Grannies Of Gobshot Hall!!!!!

Eek! before school every single morning!

And to the guy a few posts back, nobody ever thought the Pugwall guy was cool.

honru · 31-10-2003 1:53am

TCC was really, really cool. However, it went downhill pretty fast as the cartoons were ousted in favour of teen soap operas.
In fact, it was like the young people who started watching the very early days of The Children's Channel (which was for little kids) had grown up to the cool cartoons (which was great) but then slowly moved on to the "teen comedies" (Noooooo). In fact, the day that TCC was replaced by Nickelodeon was fortunate, even though I now dispise Nickelodeon with a passion.
I mostly watched German Cartoon Network at the time though, when The Flinstones were on at six o' clock and Dexter's Laboratory had just started production. Ah, those were the days...

Eek the Cat/The Terrible Thunderlizards
Wheres Wally? (anyone remember that theme tune? agh!)
Denver the Last Dinosaur
Rude Dog and the Dweebs
Earthworm Jim

lyonsy · 21-11-2003 7:29pm

Blisterman · 21-01-2004 7:26pm

If any of these shows came out nowadays, we'd think they were crap. I'd love to see them again soon. I emailed TCC asking if they're still running. They should bring out a best of TCC dvd or something.

pugwall · 21-01-2004 11:11pm

I'd love to see Pugwall or Degrassi Junior High again.

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Mask, Ulysess(spl?) and a few others are all on one of the Fox kids channels in the evenings, I flick back and forward the odd time to check them out. Mask has aged quite a bit but Ulysess still looks great.

khan · 26-09-2004 2:38pm

jeese no that dont ring a bell, but ill ask around, some of my friends are fairly in tune with all that. How about this one, its a bit of a long shot but i want to get it out there, it wasnt a cartoon but it was about this girl who could travel into a game show through a t.v. in a shoping centre, I remember a silver manican with a bolard hat that would point at a clock or something and then she would go! do you remember anything like that?

I think it was australian!

smuckers · 26-09-2004 4:43pm

I remember a short cartoon in between programmes called Quick and Fluke, anyone remember that? I think it was French.
Khan I vagely remember that but I can't remember the title.
I can't remember the name of this does any remember a show revolving around 2 bros who travelled around Italy?
I remember Pole Position, that was class.

razorfeather · 26-09-2004 4:56pm

lol nah mate cant say i do....probably a bit before my time maybe possibly. damnit. why dont they just have a brilliantly made website with all these things listed it would make it so much easier...

khan · 26-09-2004 9:15pm

No i dont remember it either, sorry about that. Yea there really shoud be a site, what about tcc themselfs are there any connections left with them in this world of nonsense programing???

I vaguely remember Quick and Fluke... And the name of that other proggy was Interbang. I remember, coz it was mentioned in this thread ages ago... I also remember making recordings of the eppys at one point, and made sure I never missed one.

The female presenters name who used to feed those gold fish that kept changing shape probably due to death {brownie points if you remember the goldfishes names}. She had black curly hair and was fairly old. *ponders*

I haven't read the whole thread yet so if this was posted before, sorry. Anyway I can't remember yer womans name but I remember the fish were called Flip and Flap!!! I remeber cos that's what I named my two goldfish when I got them (Later renamed after TCC went off the air)

Another thing: My friends all think I'm crazy cos they can't remember but does anyone remember Widget? He was some sort of purple alien with a big sphere for a spaceship and he could change into loads of different things? Please soemone prove I'm not going mad(der)!

And I was watching Ripleys believe it or not on TV3 and there was this blonde one on it. She does the stuff that's going on outside the studio. Was she in California Dreams? I think she was the bimbo blonde one. If not someone put me out of my misery cos I know I've seen her somewhere before.

smuckers · 28-09-2004 9:31am

Ah yes Widget was ace used to watch it all the time with his sidekick Megabrain. Yes the lovely Kelly Packard played Tiffany in California Dreams.

monkeyfudge · 01-10-2004 12:42pm

When I first remember watching TCC it had a show about a kid in his bedroom and he had a robot called Copernicus. It was an educational show and Copernicus would give the kid all sorts of information by turning the wall at the back of his bed room into a gigantic display screen.

I'm sure it was on right next to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

Also, COPS hasn't been mentioned yet. It was the cartoon about a bunch of mechanically enhanced cops who had to go up against a bunch of ecentric super villians. I remember one bad guy was called Brain Drain and he had a glass skull so you could see his brain. And also there was a female crook called Miss. Demeanor (get it?)

It was certainly the best of the enviromental cartoons that came out.

Never thought much of Captain Planet and the Smoggies...

smuckers · 01-10-2004 1:49pm

Yea I remember Cops, I remember one baddie gal was called Nighshade but I can't remember the name of the lead goodie, he was a black guy.

johntf008 · 18-10-2004 11:29pm

Telly Cat? Brilliant! On before school, they used to have sketches involving a big monkey, telly cat had a sling, and there was a female cat who was ve-ery sexy...

Also, the TCC Express (The Steve And Danny Show) came to an end one memorable Sunday afternoon, as the train pulled into a station, Steve and Danny got off, said goodbye to each other, and went their seperate ways. I remember it being terribly emotional.

But they soon came back with The NEW Steve and Danny Show! It was studio based, and the only thing I remember is a game where you had to guess whether the next card ws higher or lower and I remember one prize would always be a giant pair of novelty glasses.

The End
