I can remember cartoons like Thundercats,Defenders of the Earth (a personal favourite of mine) and who could forget the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ! As for tv shows well a few stand out.MacGyver,Jake and the Fatman and this show called Our House.Not sure if anyone remembers it.Wilford Brimley starred in it.

Dangermouse & Count Duckula were two of my favourites.I used to get up on Saturdays to watch 'Pajos Junkbox'(not sure I spelt that right but he was a punky muppet with a dub accent).There used to be some mad professor chap on it aswell.Used to like the chipmunks aswell.
I remember there used to be this canadian science programme (''Hi I'm bob & I'm curious about why things are the way they are and why there not something else'')can't remember the name though.
Remember jake and the fat man (and his beloved dog!!),Dallas (on a saturday night),Dynasty then later on (early 90s I guess) Secrets (with Gerry Ryan), Star Trek The Next Generation (on a saturday evening).

WesternNight

Ah, nostalgia

I remember Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Babar, Captain Planet, Hey, Arnold!, Animaniacs (although was maybe early teens for this), The Girl From Tomorrow, The Simpsons.

I also remember watching the likes of Dallas and MacGyver and Jake and the Fatman sometimes when home sick or on holidays.

Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, made holograms extra cool. Mask was also a favourite, not to mention The Centurions, Power extreme!

wexfordia

Batman deserves a mention too.Remember how the bookcase would slide across and the dynamic duo would slide down the poles to the batcave ? I can remember also the Krypton factor which was shown on Monday evenings on one of the British channels.

Hi I'm Bob McDonald .... That was the one, the only, Wonderstruck

There was an american science program called 3-2-1 Contact I remember it because one time they went behind the scenes at a Kiss concert, I was all :eek:
There was a girl presenter called Trini, I think, she was lovely.

Good shows? Children Of The Stones and Sapphire & Steel come to mind. The New Avengers was pretty good too. The Invisible Man with David McCallum , the Gemini Man with Ben Crosby(?) and the Man From Atlantis with Bobby Ewing. All decent shows

Just watched this now, I'm surprised I wasn't scared of when I was younger :pac:
