Was just posting on another thread about how bad Childrens TV is today (teletubbies, Bobinogs, Barney etc) and thought I'd start a thread and see what all your favourite Childrens TV shows were. Here's a few of mine, well, the ones I remember at this moment anyway....

Tea Bag
Bananaman
Count Duckula
Dangermouse
Looney Tunes Cartoons (although still like them now so maybe don't qualify as kids tv)
Trap Door
Round the Bend (anyone else remember this?)
Thunder-Thunder-Thunder-Thunder Cats
Button Moon
Stoppit & Tidy up

That's all I can think of right this minute, feel free to add any more suggestions...

:D :)

don't remember round the bend but I do remember round the twist an Austrailian kids show other favourites include

Dogtanian and the threee muskahounds
Cities of gold
Battle of the planets
Jamie and the magic torch
 
Round the Bend, remember some snippets, Doc Crock as the host, sailed a little close to the wind for a Kids TV Programme. :D
 
YES! Omega, I'm so glad you remember it, my brother and I were beginning to think we imagined it, it's not on any of the kids TV websites and no-one we know remembers it!

Can't believe I forgot Dogtanian, I used to have the vids and everything!

Did anyone ever get up early enough to watch Sharky & George or Jase & the Wheeled Warriors? They were cool too.

It's looking at this thread I realise how long I've been away- apart from the flower pot men, I've never heard of any of those programs. Of course wedidn't have a television in the house till I was ten, and never generated any offspring myself, but even so!;)
 
My partner says he remembers M.A.S.K. something about cars, being a bit like transformers but had guns and stuff? He even had a toy ;)

Oh my gosh - I love so many of these shows. Kid's TV now is no where near as good as it used to be and they say it is more intelligent? ... pah! Me thinks not.

Some of my fav shows were

Dangermouse
Button Moon
Round the Twist
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Poddington Peas
Bananaman
Trapdoor
Count Duckula
Sesame Street
Super Ted (when I was up in Scotland staying at my nan's I used to watch it in Gaelic)
X-Men

I'm sure there were more but I can't seem to remember them atm
 
Don't worry about it Chris. With the exception of Looney Tunes and Sesame Street, I don't know any of these either.

I'm old, but these are the ones I remember liking:

Rocky & Bullwinkle and Friends (but we all know those weren't really written for children); my favorite was Fractured Fairy Tales:)

The Flintstones - I can remember watching the first episode the first time it was on, when I was about 5 years old.

The Jetsons

Roadrunner

When I got a little older (say, junior high-ish), there were still a few saturday mornings cartoons I enjoyed, including Underdog and George of the Jungle (way before the Brendan Fraser film, which was also fun).

Although I do have to say that when I was at university, some of us in my Latin II class got into the habit of getting to class early and watching Teletubbies before tackling all those declensions.:p
 
The Electric Company
The Great Space Coaster
He-Man
Inspector Gadget
Thundercats
Speed Racer
Today's Special
Pinwheel
The Flintstones
Tom And Jerry
The Adventures Of Black Beauty
She-Ra
Fraggle Rock
