Favorite Kids Program

[King Edward]

Mine has to be Transformers Optimus Prime Rocks I remember crying when he died in the film (and that was only last week )

others i enjoyed were He-man and Dungeons and Dragons.

What are your favorites?

[rasoforos]

Transformers was cool , He-man was even better,i spent a significant amount of years watching He-man every morning before school , my mother who was also awake to go to work had to tollerate this (to watch He-man that is) for years and years , i think this traumatised her a bit.

However my favorite Kids programs were Looney tunes , and Smurfs.

there was only ever one girl smurf which was something i always found a bit odd

I had loads and loads of the origonal He-man toys and my mum sold the lot at a car boot sale for £15 some of them are worth a bit of cash now days What was the name of the floaty wizard thing?

Thundercats was another good one i forgot to mention.

That was Orko

[Teutonic Knight]

If you didn't like Johnny Quest there's something seriously wrong with ya...

[King Edward]

Orko thats right, that was bugging me since i decided to start this thread

Tachikaze, what was Gumby? i've never heard of that.

[Teutonic Knight]

Never heard of Gumby?? Where were you?

He was that green guy with the little dog in claymation that ran around defeating the blockheads (literally)

Every time I watch that show I am further convinced that the writer were on some sort of hallucenagenic drug...

[King Edward]

Nope im still none the wiser i'll google it and find out what its about.

Im sure most kids programs are drug induced crations. Captian Pugwash, Magic roundabout telley Tubbies, all rather odd (not sure how many of those will have been broadcast on your side of the pond,)

[Teutonic Knight]

Of the three mentioned I've only seen Telly Tubbies over here, and I must say I find that purple cross-dressing one rather disturbing...

[lancelot]

Yep, Transformers was no-1 all the way

Closely followed by HE-man, Thundercats, MASK and GI-joe

Jayce and the wheeled warriors, Centurions were also good.

D&D was good, excpet for that damn annoying Unicorn, who was, half of the time; the sole reason the adventurers didnt get to go home.

A certain young froggy always loved 'Dogtanian and the Three Muskerhounds', it had swords and sword fighting and history stuff and all that junk about honour and loyalty that frogs are such suckers for. The original series was recently released on DVD.

I also liked Disney's 'The Gummi Bears' because it had swords and sword fighting and history type stuff. I also liked the way the princess never behaved like one...Kalah, that was her name; she did a lot of archery and fought in a tournament in disguise. It was very non-Disney in tone and features the only princess I have ever actually liked, aside from those few I have written myself.

I really loved (and still do) 'Maid Marion and her Merry Men'; it was really funny and it had swords and sword fighting and, well you get the picture. It was like Blackadder does Robin Hood, very witty. Tony Robinson wrote it and played the sheriff of Nottingham. I would kill for this on DVD...

Notice the theme here? At the same time I was reading every single history book I could get my hands on, fiction and non fiction; I was also scorning Cadfael and other 'soppy' books because they didn't have enough knights in them, and they featured romance which was unforgivable. I've mellowed out a lot since then.

Teenage mutant ninja turtles

Transfomers

Thundercats

[English assassin]

Magic roundabout. No question. And the clangers. Was the whole of children's BBC on drugs in the 70s or what?

[Axeknight]

On an unrelated note, is there something that happens during the early stages of puberty we haven't discovered yet? I swear you lose the ability to do the transformers toys the second you hit 11. You can't transform them anymore It's not possible Why is that?

Postman Pat was a dude.

Truly the age of innocence

[Fragony]

When I was young there was a show called Purno de Purno (pun intented), it was a riot. Crazy [stuff] like a lady that said she could taste the difference between 200 sorts of urine.

'hmmmm this is of a rabbit'
'hmmmm this is of a 75 year old woman'

I had to wake my mother when it started as well

Oh and dokter Krankenstein was cool as well, a satire on frankenstein, I will never forget the episode that he was mad because he didn't have a peepee.

My fellow dutchies MUST remember the sundaymorning vpro programs

[Beirut]

{You can really tell the difference in ages by what people are posting.)

Johny Quest
The Banana Splits
Bugs Bunny
Sea Lab 2020

[Ser Clegane]

Quote[/b] (Tachikaze @ July 21 2004,10:02)]Jungle Emperor (Kimba the White Lion)

I really loved that one when I still went to elementary school

One of my other favourites was Biene Maja (The bee Maja). I remember that I had my older brother writing an angry letter to the TV station, demanding an immediate rerun after the series was finished (I hated the Pinocchio cartoon that replaced it just for the fact that ir replaced Biene Maja )

When I was in the US as a teenager I loved the Transformers (but I actually liked the new Trasnformers more) and was actually quite jealous that we did not have this kind of cartoons when I was smaller.

I have to admit that I still like to watch some of the old muppet scenes of Sesame Street - some of the Ernie & Bert or Cookie Monster (?) scenes are in a way brilliantly absurd.
