    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...

    Bosco actually died last year from a massive ruptured hemeroid. What would you expect after he had a hand up his hole for so many years.

    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.

    Dogtanian! For years I thought that was the "original" version of the three musketeers story! It was such a great programme

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,658 ✭✭✭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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 510 ✭✭✭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?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 679 ✭✭✭ciano


    Some more classics ...

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭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:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,248 ✭✭✭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
