i loved gladiators, noels house party and blind date.
also was addicted to Fun house. I rea;;y wanted to do a few laps on the go karts they had and obviously my dream was to actually get to go in through the spinning things and actually enter the funhouse for all the prizes.
Did anybody watch Earthworm Jim or Animaniacs ?

Ah kids TV, I don't have a great memory of all the shows. As a kid I started off on the den, then moved to TCC, and TCC became sooooo terrible that Cablelink(!) one day switched to Nickelodeon. That switch actually improved my life a little bit!

Jimmy Iovine · 14-09-2009 12:38pm

I'm amazed by the lack of Power Rangers appreciation here. I was completely obsessed with them for a couple of years. I remember going to school one day when I was about 5 and there had been a robbery in the school so I thought I would try and morph into a Power Ranger and catch the thief. Sadly it didn't work.

They've completely ruined it now though with all the different versions. The originals were the best.

The pink Ranger was fairly class looking

Busi_Girl08 · 14-09-2009 1:11pm

When I was a child I used to love:

When I was in my early(ish) teens it was:

California Dreams

Animaniacs
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Home and Away

If I was off school or on holidays or whatever I used to be fascinated with shows like Dallas and shows that were supposedly "too grown up" for me when I was younger.

Ah, them were the days!

Shane10 · 18-09-2009 9:52am

hah was that its name! used to like it.

used to like the australian shows aswell esp "round the twist" and "the girl from tomorrow".

robby^5 · 18-09-2009 12:16pm

I was obsessed with The Real Ghostbusters and Power Rangers (Tommy FTFW). I also remember watching lots of older stuff like Happy Days and Roots as a young child, they were re-run on RTE iirc. I'd run around screaming "what's you name boy? TOBY!" It was actually one of the reason I started watching Star Trek for Geordi

Anybody remember a cartoon about sheep and pigs at war? I cant remember if I just imagined it up or not. It would have been on TCC back in the day... it feels like it was a real show but no one I know can remember it

Bruce Buffer · 18-09-2009 6:41pm

I remember a show I used to watch as a kid about a dog. I think it was called wishbone.

The song at the start would go "Whats the story wishbone....." or something like that.

Great show

Saved by the bell was my favourite though.

Tucker was a great show as well on nickelodeon but I think their was only 1 season made.

ragg · 18-09-2009 7:39pm

Does anyone remember Galaxy High & Jayce and the wheeled warriors/

I remember jayce found his dad, 'twas really touching, then his dad got eaten up be a vine - and lost again

Miss Lockhart · 18-09-2009 8:03pm

I absolutely HATED Jayce and the Wheel Warriors and also some programme called Ulysees? I think.

When I was very young I loved:

Bosco (remember crying when school started finishing too late to see it)
Mrs Pepperpot
Bouli
Labyrinth? (think this is what it was called anyway - was on TCC - was banned then cos it gave my brother nightmares

)
Punky Brewster
Small Wonder
Various series with T-bag
The Clangers
DJ Kat
Trapdoor

When I was a little older I loved:
Knightmare
The Littlest Hobo
Round the Twist
Pugwall
The Wonder Years
Animaniacs
The Crystal Maze
Unsolved Mysteries

I also watched Sabrina the Teenage Witch in my later teens and will admit to still watching it regularly enough if I come across it. :pac:

Edited to add: I also remember going around with a white plastic hairband across my forehead with a blue marker dot drawn on it pretending to be The Girl from Tomorrow.
