Top 10 Childrens TV Shows

Amnesiac_ie

What are everybody's Top 10 programmes form their childhood? In time honoured reverse fashion...
10 Superted
Superted always scared me as a kid... it had quite dark undetrones... especially when it was as Gaeilge and I didn't have a flipping clue what was going on
09 Round The Bend
Bananaman, Crocodile ina sewer... class
08 Round The Twist
Have you ever, ever felt like this? Paranormal Australian Sitcom for Kids... it worked...
07 Captain Planet
We're the Planeteers... and you can be one too! Cause saving our planet is the thing to do! I was one of those annoying kids who forced his parents to buy energy efficient light bulbs and make my fatehr build a compost heap... all because of a guy with green hair
06 How Do You Do?
Mary Fitzgerald... legend. What the woman couldn't do with toilet roll inserts. And pipe cleaners! Remember pesterign the locals hop for pipe cleaners. Bless.
05 Bosco
The Justin Timberlake of the 80s kids. Women wanted him. Men wanted to be him. All went pear shaped in the early nineties... Bosco moved to London, developed a bad heroine addiction... last we heard he was sleeping rough in camden Town...
04 Transformers
Robots in disguise! I always pretended to like this more than I did to impress my cousin. So it gets a top5 placing.
03 The Girl From Tomorrow
I've lost my Transducer! Bless those Poms but they make damn good kiddies TV! The adventures of Jenny Kelly (1990) and Alana (3000) were brilliant television... and who didn't make their own tranducer out of a hairband and some tinfoil? Mary Fitzgerald you taught us well!
02 Teabag
Dr. Who for Kids. But camper. Still have nightmares about her to this day. Or is that Twink aka ROSE VIOLET from the bog roll ads?
01 Worzel Gummidge
Deserved a plethora of Emmys. Wurzel Gummidge was quite simply the best thing on TV in the late eighties. The sharp eyed might notice a young Sophie Ellis Bextor playing to type as the wooden Aunt Sally. If anyone has this on VHS/DVD.... I'm willing to pay...

For all of you lot who loved Dogtanian as a kid, try www.muskehounds.com

Also here's the Theme if you're a sucker for 80's theme tunes, like me... Bless.


Although, untill doing a search on the internet, I was always under the impression that it was actually muskethounds. Made more sense that way, but then again, there could have been something lost in the translation.

emm no it didnt that was just the start of the downhill slide as far as aussie kids tv goes!

I used to love Batman...the one where BIFF BANG THUD came up on screen during fight scenes! did you know that the little guy that played Robin was actually older than Batman?!!

irishgeo

i remenber captain planet well.

the famous five was good.

Pinky and the brain.

I remenber that show with the tranducer.

The smurfs i mean who could not like them

Fraggle rock.

God the memories.

As for todays crap.

Pokemon, etc utter crap i mean these are marketing ideas with show made to fit around them

Amnesiac_ie

Pinky and the Brain... fantastic on Animaniacs, BRILLIANT as a 30 minute programme in it's own right but the introduction of Elmyra killed off one of the funniest series from WB. Speaking of which, remember Tiny Toons?

ciano

Some more classics ...

Pole Position
Magnum PI
Knightmare
Centurions
Buck Rodgers
V
The littlest Hobo

Space Coyote

how could i have left some of those outa my 10. shame on me, Centurions was feckin brilliant...Power...Extreme...:ninja:

The Littlest Hobo, a classic of our generation, and a brilliant theme tune too.
:ninja:

Duffman

Ok.... Does anyone remember a cartoon from a few years ago about a group of brightly-coloured dinosaurs who travelled through space in a red ship....? They each had special abilities, I think one could shoot sellotape from his mouth...

It used to be one of my favourites.... Please tell me what it was called someone!


(I'm not crazy... This did actually exist....)



:ninja: <-- NINJA

Duffman

Diplodos!! that was it... omg great cartoon
