I loved the Smurfs (which I still watch), Gargoyles (which I still watch), and I always liked Transformers. And I still love the Muppets
Also, I loved it whenver they showed the old Bugs Bunny, and Scooby Doo.
Looney Tunes, Sesame Street, and some others.
Nowadays, Balamory is good, especially the theme tune.
And the names. Josie Jump, Edea McCredie, PC Plum, Archie the Inventor, etc. Althouch I feel sorry for the people of Tobermory.
Ninja Turtles was the best show ever made. Hell, I still watch it (even though they got rid of the cool theme song and replaced it with a crappy one).
Also, I watched Power Rangers, before they became space pirates or whatever they are now. I remember the day when they had the dinosaurs (and the Green Ranger had a floating pyramid https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...-surprised.gif) instead of stupid cars, or motercycles, or jets.
Yes, he is disturbing, in fact one of the gay communities in Florida here made the purple one (Twinkie I bleieve his name is) thier mascot....Quote:

2nd Transformers weird fact---
The guy who done the voice for Megatron also did the voice of the monkey in Disney's Alladin (plus many many others)
Nothing beats Barney the Dinosaur when it comes to femininity for males. I do not believe i cencorship but kids immitate what they see and if i had a son i wouldnt want him to see to be too influenced of this sort of shows. ( I wonder if sexually starved miss piggy practically trying to force poor Kermit all the time , would have a chance of getting away with it today, the act would propably be axed ).Quote:

Cant believe no-one mentioned the BEST kids program ever. (especially you froggy)
Prince Valient
From a small memory in my brain, it was all about a young chap dreaming of becoming a knight on the round table with King Arthur, and of course he fufilled that dream with the help of his buddies.
The rest would be a toss up between Round the Twist (hilarious wacky aussie program), X-Men, and Sharky and George.
Ohhh the memories
I was getting too old, late teens, when Transformers and stuff like that came out. we didn't 'get it' and so left it to the little kids.
The programmes that make me nostalgic are the Saturday morning shows, mainly American fare, stuff like Banana Splits, Champion the Wonder Horse, Danger Island, and Looney Toons classics. But me and my sisters absolutely adored Laurel and Hardy and would get up especially early to catch them in action. The Masters. Hilarious.
Of the Brit stuff, I preferred the surreal weirdness of progs like Rhubarb and Custard, Captain Pugwash, and The Clangers. It was the drugs man
Another big fave with us was 'Monkey', about the adventures of the Chinese Monkey-God.
Sharky and George I forgot Sharky and George
Anyone remember bangers and mash. The two lovable chimps? https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...ns/biggrin.gif
All the old Looney Toons, heck, I still like 'em, good ole classic cartoons
And when I was really young, i loved Mr. Rodgers. I had an emotional connection with that show, somthing I can't explain now. I remember how sad I was when he died, like a part of my childhood died with him.
Ok, I'll stop embarassing myself.
-Capo
TRANSFORMERS
i have the entire show and the movie on DVD, i was a very non-emotioanl person when i was a kid, the only time i cried in my entire childhood was when optimus prime died
The Monkeys
Can't remember the name of this one, but it was a show starring chimps. They would dress them up and then have them act out the scenes and do a voice over for their lines. The main character was a chimp who was dressed as a spy or Get Smart kind of secret detective.
The Brady Bunch (original season)
Nanny and the Professor
Lost in Space (My favorite) Thought Judy was hot hehe
My Three Sons
Speed Racer (original season)
Road Runner
Scooby Do (Original season)
All the Snoopy specials on the holidays.
Mighty Mouse
Dudley-Do Right (original season)
The Rocky and BullWinkle Show
Speed Buggy
and all the ones Beirut and Kraellin mentioned. I tried to mention ones they may have overlooked and not duplicate any. hehe It was tough
You see I was born when black and white T.V. was THE thing to have. When you turned on the T.V. you could hear the television tubes crank up Sounded like a quick buzz from a 60ft. tall hornet. And of course, the T.V. weighed 300 lbs and was always placed on a small wire cart with wheels. You didn't dare set close to it because it might fall over on you at any time hehe
Seems beirut must be around our age Kraellin if he has seen all of those shows. hehe
Actually I've made up my mind that if I ever have ot raise a kid, which I hope the girl i get doesnt want any, if it's a boy, he's not going to be educated by Barney the dinosaur or Twinkie the fag, he's gunna grow up on war movies, martial arts movies, video games sports and more war. I'd be a helluva father.Quote:

Groucho Marx = You Bet Your Life, with the duck
In those old black-and-white, get up to change the channel to one of 3 stations, have kid brother stand next to the rabbit-ear antenna to ever-so-slowly move it to get rid of 'snow' on the screen, days.....characters on TV shows would stop in the middle of the story, step out of character, reach down off screen, pick up a box of cereal (usually), look into the camera, and sell the stuff right there:
Kids, if you want to be big and strong, like Commander Cody, have Mom get you ....
then set the box down off-screen, and pick the story right back up again, chasing Indians, or flying spaceships, or whatever.
ah, you bet your life. ok. but didnt he also host 'name that tune' for a while?
and yes, ya gotta love the old way of advertising on tv :)
