Favourite kids show

**superfrank** · 14/07/2007, 12:27 PM

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.

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)

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

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.?
