Can anyone help me?

Ok, so when I was in school my friends and I decided to compile a list of all the programmes we watched as kids - y'know, the kinda stuff they showed on TV before the political correctness brigade came along and said we needed the token ethnic group, disability and female...sigh...

Well, we had a whole bunch of stuff and then during a period of time where I was moving around a lot, I lost the list and then tonight, after playing Earthworm Jim 2 on the Mega Drive, I started writing it again...most of the cartoons/programmes will be only recognised by Brits (and then only if you're elderly like me), but if anyone can throw in stuff they watched as kids, it would be much appreciated. Yes I am sad and pathetic but I need something to fill my time and I am incredibly strange and anal at the best of times.

So far in an hour I got up to 130 or so programmes...anyone got any they can add?

Albion Knight · 02-21-2007, 12:25 AM

Thought I'd sort it

Warning, this is a spoiler!

How about Get Smart, Tennessee Tuxido, Fat Albert, Captian Caveman

Angel · 02-21-2007, 12:29 AM

You are a true star and extra reppage for that (so check your overall count as it won't show up in comments box)!

Steve mentioned Captain Caveman but I thought he was just being mental...I've been YouTube-ing and using retro sites to refresh my memory...Century Falls was one of those short dramas that they used to show on the Children's BBC part of the channel and it was the freakiest thing I had ever ever seen - all about a lonely weird village where there were no kids at all. And then I went on holiday that same year to a small deserted village with no kids in and I freaked out the whole time I was there....

...where the hell were my parents??

i remember that... also things like Power Rangers ,VR Troopers, Basil Brush, Thunder Birds, Captain Scarlet and Stingray i used to watch when younger. (Minds abit blank today

)

Angel · 02-21-2007, 12:44 AM

Stingraaaaaaay, Stingray! Dunnunnunnunu!

(sorry)

VR Troopers I remember watching in pure protest because I refused to join the Power Rangers crowd at school. Got my head thoroughly kicked in for that...but it's the principle that counts...

Long shot here, but does anyone remember Land of the Giants? Not a cartoon but I used to watch it religiously and it seemed to consist of people in Star Trek-esque clothing climbing up huge tables etc...

Ah but did you also have green rimmed NHS glasses, a pink anorak and a bowl haircut? Even if I had wanted to watch Power Rangers, my distinct lack of coolness would have meant even my TV would have probably turned itself off...
