    Star Trek: The Next Generation

    Can't pick out any one show but Ray Darcy's Den in general. Kids nowadays get served up such sterile muck in comparison!

    Sports Stadium.

    Fraggle Rock. I always felt sorry for the Doozers as the Fraggles would just destroy all the good work they had put into constructing something.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭HomelessMidge


    Inspector Gadget. What a show!

    Live shows, not a whole lot...

    But I did really like the show Home Improvement throughout the 90s - wasn't much a kid then, but still. :P

    Teenage mutant ninja turtles!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 737 ✭✭✭Yellow121


    Actually the teenage mutant ninja turtles. The 4 giant turtles, a giant rat with a walking stick as their sensai, splinter was a bad ass, crane was a brain in a remote controlled man, April O'Neill in an all yellow jumpsuit and then you had bebob and rocksteady. It had it all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭Miss Lockhart


    Turtles, Knightmare, Round the Twist and Sabrina are the ones that stand out, but there's so many to choose from!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Monkey.

    80s and 90s had a lot of awesome shows for kids - unlike the tripe kids get now on TV, hand drawn animation is a dying breed... with the quality of those now hand drawn is just downright embarrassing...


    WB had a lot of quality shows;

    - Tiny Toons
    - Animaniacs
    - Batman [the one from the early 90s, Joker voiced by Mark Hamill]
    - Tazmania
    - etc.

    If it's any consolation, I heard of a friend's cousin who was in the audience, and Godmother boxed the ear off him when he wandered into the wagon on set during a break in filming. :eek:

    I'm going to youtube everything on this thread, starting with my favourite, because I'm by the fire in my nightie and me and my sisters were allowed to stay up to watch this after baths on Saturday night. :)

    Oh my god I loved MASK. Boulder Hill is still one of my prized possesions. Surprised they haven't made a big film of it a la Transformers or X-Men.

    Used to love watching the Streets of San Francisco on a Monday night when my Mum was at bingo and I should have been in bed.:pac:

    Prisoner Cell Block H afterwards if my Mum won and went to the pub.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,644 ✭✭✭cml387


    I loved to have a torch when I was young, but oh the disappointment as the light would gradually fade from yellow to orange to a faint red.

    I guess it was this program that started it all. (You only need to watch the first 30 seconds to get the idea of the wierdness).
