I'm having a disagreement with two mates over the greatest kids TV programmes of all time.

We've picked about 2 or 3 each, which I wont mention yet, and we all think our choices are better than each others.

What are your picks?

Baron when you say kids , kids who are 4-5-6 or 13-14-15 im now 28

Blue Peter must be up there not a favourite of mine.

when I was 4-8 I used to watch Rainbow, Button Moon, Tiswas, Wacaday (timmy Mallet guy) Thomas the Tank

And after that it was Power Rangers, Byker Grove and Debbie does Dallas

In no paricualr order -

Hong Kong Phooey
Pipkins
The Adventure Game

All time classics!

Ulysieus, or whatever it was called. That was cool.
Trapdoor and ehhh hmmm, Knightmare.

Either or, just stuff that was great when you were younger.

Has to be Thundercats, Original He-Man and Dangermouse.  The only famous kids TV personality I have met is Glenn Michael. You know the guy from " Glenn Michaels Cavalcade". He used to shop at my local ASDA. Actually I am not sure if he is still around, if he is he must be about 80 years old now. I have his autograph somewhere.

Hey baron i was lookin up tbags to see if i could remember n found this http://tbag.proboards24.com/index.cgi?board=GH

it has its on forum lol

Telly Tubbies

Knightmare - for the simple reason that any show that's shown at 4.45pm for kids, and has a computer graphics version of a head slowly losing all of it's skin and then bits of the skull to leave just the eyeballs must be truly awesome.

That and Lord Fear.

Mr Ben - Because he was blatantly tripping on acid.


Futurama - Not a kids show I know, but I might never get another place to voice the sheer brilliance of it.

Pingu - Do I need a reason? No, didn't think so.

they dont make um like they used to :tikay:




[attachment deleted by admin]

Button Moon was good

I remember that know what did the game involve????? mind is blank

Bagpuss (I have even got a video lol)

That skull used to scare the bejesus out of me as a little kid.

Good job it was on in the afternoon and not in the evening, lest it start a bed wetting frenzy.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Postman Pat. When I go back home to stay sometimes, I still have a Postman Pat bed sheet in the cupboard. The chicks dig it, lol.

did a search on google images for tbag tv n that clicked on one of pics n it took me to that site

Did anyone ever see someone win on Knightmare?

dont think so lol

summat eles i watch when i was a kid but it wasnt a kids programme was the A Team

i have to agree with other posters

1st the adventure game
2nd jossie gaints
3rd grange hill

Ok...going to have to cheat a little and do some genre grouping here! ;D

Trumpton / Camberwick Green

Amazing how much of these two programmes is still firmly lodged in my brain over 30 years later such as "here is a box...a musical box, wound up and ready to play!" and  "riding along in an army truck". Not to mention the correct sequence of those bloody firemen coming down the pole every episode...lol   Not that they ever put out a single a fire of course, it was always retrieving the mayor's hat from up a tree or something similar!!

Rather sadly I can still do a great impression of the noise of Windy Miller's windmill too!!  rotflmfao

Thunderbirds/Captain Scarlet/Joe 90/Stingray

That'd be anything involving Gerry Anderson then??  er......yeah.........okay Troy!  And what a babe that Aqua Marina was!  :-*

Tiswas

Swapshop was ok...but real kids preferred Tiswas!! So much fun and mayhem......... Chris Tarrant, Sally James, Trevor McDonought, Phantom Flan Flinger, The Cage, Spit the Dog, Bucket of Water Song..........the list is endless.......not forgetting my favourite Compost Corner.........COMPOST CORNER!!!!!!!!!!

Best I go for a lie down now methinks!

Yes a few weeks ago on challenge! lol :D

DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS

Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye
Hong Kong Phooey - fannn-riffic!

Tony Hart and Morph

I used to be a big fan of this show. It was a mixture of items the girl was looking for. It changed from series to series. One time it would be silver spoons, then gold letters, then crystals, and so on. Tbag was also hunting down these items. She needed to capture them before the girl did, and she needed to get hold of the whole set. I can't remember the importance of the items for some reason. Something to do with tbag's powers I think. Anyhow, it was all very odd. The worlds they trondled through were very imaginative. Tbag was bloomin scary too.

Great shout.

What about Chorlton and the Wheelies !!!!

Anybody ? ...... No ! .......... Just me then ..... i'll get my coat

FRAGGLE ROCK - now that was class !! :)up

Quality!

You should've watched Rolfs Cartoon Club to pick up some tips then.

I loved these

Dungeons & Dragons I even bought the DVD release :blonde:

Superted

Batman

Thundercats

Battle of the planets

Xmen

Spiderman

Glen Campbells cartoon cavlecade featuring paladin the lamp.  sheer class!!!

I can't believe no-one's mentioned Battle of The Planets!!  ;tk;

Also I think Tom & Jerry is still hilarious.

And as I type that Newmanseye shows a rare burst of good taste & says Battle of The Planets - well done Billy!!!

I also have that series on DVD too !!!  I am a big kid.

Soon as I saw this thread my fave popped straight into my mind:

Dungeons and Dragons   Wasn't it on Saturday mornings on one of the Satruday Kids TV shows? 

Which leads me into one more

Saturday Swap Shop


Clearing through the cobwebs of my memories from childhood, I'm pretty sure Dungeons and Dragons was the only programme I ever got mad at myself for missing.  We are talking the cartoon here aren't we?

what about captain pugwash


along with his crew

seaman staines

master bates and rodger the cabin boy rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

other favs not mentioed

the flumps

godzilla

ivor the engine

pigeon street

roland rat

press gang

pole position

maid marian

newsmaneye mention Super Ted but ehat about Supergran as well!

The Wooden Tops

The Herbs

Magic Round-a-bout

Skippy the bush Kangaroo

Star Trek

CRACKERJACK

Captain Pugwash. There was no seaman stains or master bates and the cabin boy was called Tom. It was a spitting image sketch that featured theses characters.

Mysterious Cities of Gold, what happened in the end? did it conclude
Around the world in 80 days.

Does any one remember a prog on sundays called the boy who won the pools? about a punky kid who won the football pools on his 16th birthday? He hired a swedish aupair to drive him in a ferrari and his evil parents tried to steal the money every week (they lived in a caravan) His brother was a bit mad and made tin foil hats and slept in a sarcophagous

This is true but the Magic Round-a-bout did have a pot smoking rabbit

Behave yourself!

Yup he found his dad in South America!

Rentaghost! Great shout.

oh was estibahn looking for his dad? i thought he just wanted a shit load of gold.

Nice one, I forgot about supergran, thats was a great show.  Billy connolly wrote and sung the theme for that show.

We are missing something here.

Yeah bless him. He was a child of the sun. His dad was the Aztec gold's cheif protector in the end. How else would he have found the golden condor eh?

(Can you tell I watched it last year?) lol

Does anyone remember a cartoon called Pheonix or pheonix from the flames? something similar maybe? that was my fave also " jamie, jamie, jamie and his magic torch" classic :hello:

This was another cracker, but they pulled it off air befor it got really good.

Another one I we missed was M.A.S.K. I loved that show.

What a waste of time this thread is. Hundreds of programes mentioned, all with virtues undoubtedly.

However the all time most classic classic has not been mentioned


I love it


MR BENN


Also, no love for Jamie and the Magic Torch? the original Scooby Doo?

I had a huge crush on the oldest girl in The Brady Bunch too

Top Cat?

Joe90?


Finally does no one remember the BBC kids series from the 1970's about football called "Striker"? Now that was worth rushing home for

I sooo forgot

Button Moon!!!!!!

with Mr Spoon

how about Pipkins with hartley the hare
King Cinder  with peter duncan about speedway
and the classic Robinson Crusoe with that french chap

Eh up it's that lickle old lady, 'Ello lickle old lady..........

Oh shut up you stupid dragon.... (said in the finest Dewi accent!!)

[attachment deleted by admin]

the missus says "stig of the dump"... don't worry i've kicked her out...

Anyone remember when Knightrider, Airwolf, The A Team etc were good?

Ok so the A Team still rocks but after watching some of the others recently... :D

The Hoff as Micheal Knight?? Purrlease!! "I've been looking for freedom!" :D :D :D :D :D

Anyone remember the series that was similar to Airwolf or Knightrider but on a motorbike?

My good man you are thinking of Street Hawk, another class TV show.


I just remembered another, can anyone remember Automan?? It was about a crime fighting computer program that came to life.  It was fanbloodytastic, It was on Bravo recently which got me back in to it. also anyone remember Manimal?

Many of the above and

The Red Hand Gang - (Australian?)

Wizz Kidds (?)

& Press Gang - Julia Swalla  :kiss:

Different Strokes

MARINE BOY DOUBLE DECKERS BANANA SPLITS ARABIAN KNIGHTS THE VIRGINIAN THAT FOREIGN THING WITH WHITE HORSE . CHAMPION THE WONDER HORSE

That's a hell of a name for a horse

Monkey!

In the world before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when it's feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essences of Heaven all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. It became magically fertile. The first egg was named "Thought". Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha said "With our thoughts, we make the world". Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it came a stone monkey.

The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!!

I havent read the whole thread, but i hope the classics that were

Hectors house & Mary, Mungo and midge have had an honoury mention.

Thank goodness for that monkey boy  ;applause; I thought I had imagined it !!!!

Nice to see someone else remembers it  ;D  

Anyone remember this one?

The 13 year-old Sheriff in the picture dealt manfully with his first TV bad beat!

Sheriff

[attachment deleted by admin]

What?


Quite true - but to be honest even now i'm here it hasn't really changed that much.....


Awww shucks, some people say the nicest things :)

(had to read it twice mind just in case it said irresponceable!!!)  :D

Can't belive no-one has mentioned Blockbusters

'Can i have a P please Bob'.

was hardly aimed at kids - was meant to be a serious quiz for college students!!

I saw my fair share of monkeys on it though.

My my you lot been busy, and some great choices.

I can offer only one original choice, for me;

Chorlton and the Wheelies

Knightmare

and

The Flumps (Think that ages me slightly)
