Favourite kids show

When you were growing up, or nowadays even, what was your favourite kids telly show?

I always watched Thomas the Tank Engine with Ringo Starr as narrator. It was simply brilliant.

I also liked some Australian show that I can't remember but it was about these toys in a bedroom that came to life.

Bosco was good too.

Now I know I'm 19 but SpongeBob Squarepants is a classic show. :o

Had this discussion in college a few years ago and we had great time remembering all the old show's
for me M.A.S.K was my no1

(Fraggle Rock is starting this week on boomerang can't wait):o

Transformers, M.A.SK., Jase and the Wheel Warriors, Thundercats, Mr.Ben, Fraggle Rock, Button Moon, Hulk Hogan's Rock N Roll Wrestling all get honourable mentions for my favourite cartoon when I was a kid, but hands down winner, and a show I still love today is Ulysses 31.

Quality animation, with exicting and, often times, very dark storylines, they just don't make them like this anymore

Lads one word ..... Bravestar! Loved that show!

Thundercats, Dogtanian, Captain Planet, Bucky O'Hare, Ghostbusters.

Is spiderman a kids show?

I'm 22 and I have it on DVD. :o

I'm 34 so ye might not remember H.R. Puffinstuff.

In truth it was even before my time but RTE being RTE liked low rent ten year old tv shows.

Also liked Wurzel Gummidge, Cat Weazel, Famous Five (had quite a crush on Jennifer Tannisch who played Anne).

Animation ...it had to be Battle of the Planets.
Though in my teens I used get up at 6am to study for my leaving cert but would in fact switch on DJ Kat on Sky One and see brilliant old cartoons like The Archies and Sport Billy. Got well into the TMH Turtles too as their reporter buddy had a rack that would not quit!!!

The Batman & Robin series (not cartoon) was brilliant.Anybody old enough to remember the man from U.N.C.L.E.?

On every Saturday afternoon on RTE :cool:

For me it was Thomas The Tank Engine, Transformers, The Turtles, Saved by the Bell, and Ghostbusters.

he man.... 'by the power of grayskull', nearly creamed myself in the cinema at hot fuzz when they said it!!!

Sponge bob squarepants!! Classic!!

Some ones that haven't been mentioned -

Mysterious Cities of Gold
Knightmare (quality show)
Earthworm Jim (bit after my time, but that didn't stop me watching it!)
Postman Pat :o
Count Duckula (a Dangermouse character originally)

Dangermouse and Ghostbusters tops for me though.

I loved Bagpuss when I moved here from Canada and have a Bagpuss teddy which helps me keep warm at nite as well as a rucksack & loads of other stripy merchandise. Yeah I know am a big kid!

Also loved in Canada & was gutted when moved home and couldnt watch it any more was Lippy the Lion and Hardy har har or something like that. I cried for weeks with out Lippy! Love the Banana Splits too.

As an older child, loved Knightmare and Byker Grove.

Magic Roundabout was better as I got older but always loved Dylan as a kid and that is partly why my son is his namesake!

Now, love Spongebob, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken, IR Weasel and catching up on the old stuff on boomerang. (we have cow & chicken & JB series linked on sky +....sad I know!)

The kids shows i still watch are Drake and Josh and Neds declassified school survival guide and of course my favorite Jimmy Nuetron :cool:

Likewise! Anyone remember Dynamo Duck? I used skip work to watch it. It used real animals including a duckling, a rodent of some description... Fantastic!

Earth worm Jim was my favourite show. Pinky and the Brain wasn't far behind

nowadays i dont mind watching Hi5 if i decide not to go into college. ;)

I just watched a Bear In The Big Blue House DVD for the 437th time but only because it helps my 20 month old daughter go to sleep.

I am trying to compose a football song to the tune of the intro....

Totally agree with all them

Watch With Mother, The Woodentops, Muffin The Mule, Whirligig, Andy Pandy...

Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street for me was brill too. So many great characters (Ernie and Bert, The Count, Cookie Monster) but in amongst the saps though (Elmo, Big Bird etc.) The songs were great.

"Oh a doctor is a person in your neighbourhoood, in your neighbourhood..." etc.

Saved By The Bell I liked, was Wonder Years a kids show really? Ill put that in anyway. Defenders of the Earth, Pinky and Brain, Dangermouse, so many...

Earthworm Jim
Dangermouse
Pinky and the Brain

My daughter loves Spongbob- and I used to despise it but actually find it funny.

Teletubbies, or should that be in the 'How gay are you' thread?


:D

Thanks Paddyfield! Made my day!
