Gemini Man, Man from Atlantis and The Rockford Files....

A man from my own vintage, obviously.

Wanderly Wagon, anyone?

What about The New Avengers, Six Million Dollar Man, or my favourite Saturday morning show "The Banana Splits" ?

Loved teenage mutant ninja turtles and the Simpsons but as a kid saved by the bell was the best tv show by a country mile, Kelly was a goddess!

Riddle101 · 10-11-2013 09:54PM

Kenan & Kel, Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Sister Sister and Sabrina The Teenage Witch.

As far as cartoons go. X-Men, Spider-Man, Pokemon, Sonic The Hedgehog, Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry. Wild Thornberrys as well.

Then when I was really small. Thomas The Tank Engine, Barbar the Elephant, Fireman Sam, Postman Pat, Pingu, Budgie the Helicopter and Noddy.

loved the real adventures of Johnny quest!

Witchie · 10-11-2013 09:57PM

The Magic Roundabout, Bagpuss, Moomins, Banana Splits and The Monkees would have been my big favourites growing up.

I loved Wanderly Wagon, I was so envious of the children who got to be on the Christmas show!

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.

ConorIRE · 10-11-2013 10:05PM

Hey Arnold, Pokémon, Dexter's Lab, Keenan and Kel... Hey Arnold will always be the best though.

The Backwards Man · 10-11-2013 10:05PM

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.

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).

Don't you mean 80's - or are you putting years on yourself?

Youngline! Flashback! Presenters trying to pretend it was alright, we didn't all have to emigrate, sure there's an ANCO course in plumbing in Athlone.
