Zig and Zag What Era Were You ?

carfiosaoorl · 15-08-2012 11:25PM

Ahhh Dempsey's Den, I loved it and was so sad when Ray Darcy took over but I got over it the real heart ripper was when Zig and Zag turned coats and went to BBC.

Before that
Wanderly Wagon
Forty Coats
Anything Goes
Saturday Superstore

My earliest memories include:

Jayce and the wheeled warriors
Ulysses
Sharky and George
Superted
Dogtanian and the three muskethounds
Inspector gadget
Mask

I downloaded some of the above for some nostalgia. Don't do it. They're awful!

As soon as I saw Sharkey and George, (crime busters of the sea) I have the theme tune in my head!

Others to add are

Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Captain Planet
Worzel Gummage
Lamb chops
Saved by the bell
Fresh prince
Full house

God I feel old...
Even worse I can hear all the LC's out tonight!!

Captain Planet was quiet cool too. Tia and Tamera, Kenan and Kel, 2Phat, School around the corner, Bosco were my favourites. What was the early Saturday morning for kids called.

You feel old? I was a teenager when most of those were on.

Just found this on youtube.

Loved this too

LOVED Cities of Gold! Fantastic storyline.

Ah the memories as a child i could never understand why zig and zag left, the den was never really the same after

The arrival of that stupid "Socky" made me realise my childhood days were behind me

pookiesboo · 15-08-2012 11:32PM

Oh and this too (I could be here for the night)

Id like to think I could have been the next Jean Butler but Irish dancing classes clashed with The Smurfs ....there was no competition

I remember Ian Dempsey on the show. Donno why but the James bond cartoon has just popped into my head, does anyone else remember this?

James Bond Jr?

Yes! That's it. I was slightly obsessed with it

tdv123 · 15-08-2012 11:37PM

Oh I remember the days when Sky Sports was just a bunch blurry pixels. That one sticks out a lot.

Cartoons like Jayce, Ulysess, Cities Of Gold, Mask, Sharky & George (they had a brilliant theme tune), there was another as well I forget the name if it but had a very distinct theme tune about people (or creatures maybe) living underneath the sea. Nick Anchorman

Cilla Black Show & Gladiators on Saturday Nights. I think WWF Superstars was on a Friday night & Saturday mornings on Sky 1.

Saved By The Bell, California Dreams & some other stuff.

pookiesboo · 15-08-2012 11:37PM

Who remembers The Snorks?

Who else joined The Den Fan Club in the 80's where you waited for what seemed like months for a huge purple envelope to arrive containing a badge with Zig and Zag and some other stuff. You were too cool for school when you got one before anyone else

Miss Lockhart · 15-08-2012 11:41PM

My brother is a little younger - he loved Dinoriders, Rude Dog and Shoe People. I thought he was so juvenile.

I was banned from watching Into the Labyrinth because he had nightmares about it. :rolleyes:

Loved that as well. The "ghost" & "miracles" stories used to scare the ****e out of me when I was a kid. The guy who used to host it was brilliant as well, his voice just set the tone of the show so well.

pookiesboo · 15-08-2012 11:59PM

ONCE UPON A TIME...LIFE!!
You know the lyrics "Thats life, thats life, thats life" they were French Canadian cartoons, this one was set in the human body!
I actually feel sorry for kids today they dont have the cartoons we had, quality
