Teenage Mutant HERO turtles

That reminds me: Teenage Mutant NINJA Turtles. Obviously the superior name. tongue.gif I watched it all the time. I also watched the animated series of Super Mario Bros..I can't remember if it was just called Super Mario Bros, though, or if it was something else because they didn't only show Mario stuff. I do remember that there were two men dressed as Mario and Luigi who talked and such before the cartoons, and on Fridays they showed a Zelda cartoon.

I am officially adding Byker Grove (yes I remember when one of PJ and Duncan got blinded, and that girl with the jiggly scar on her neck), The Biz!, Wizadora, Greenclaws, finally the wonderful Stopit and Tidyup, narrated by none other than Terry 'Nil points' Wogan.

Byker Grove (or, to give it its full name, Oooh Byker Byker Byker Byker Grooooove) was great, but only during the Spuggie days. Not that I particularly liked her character - it's just that her departure seemed to signal a jumping of the shark.

PJ getting shot in the face with a paintball was one of the finest moments in telly history. Top agony. And remember that weird cult?

Byker grove was genius, that paintball scene was epic, and i do remember the cult, that was weird... Anyone remember Jeff's funeral aka the brief return of PJ and Duncan?

Other shows i used to watch: Grange hill, Ivor the engine
Aquilla, X-men
the moomins, Teenage mutant ninja turtles
the snorks The magic roundabout
Crystal maze madeliene
Tin Tin The clangers
The flumps The Big Brekfast
The muppets Daria
and i have to mention the film Flash Gordon - that was great

Proper Moomins, I hope. Not the bobbins cartoon, but the original stop motion series that terrified a generation.

Thank God someone brought back Doctor Who, otherwise there'd be nothing to scare impressionable minds the way Moomins scared me. Weird, weird stuff.

Best episode of Moomins is where it is revealed that Moomin Papa keeps a bottle of whisky under his top hat, possesses a blunderbuss, and likes going out at night to hunt down witches.

Classic. biggrin.gif

That episode with the weeping angels that was on the other day scared the shiznit out of me. Top entertainment. And Tennant in right up there with the best Doctors, in my opinion. Tom Baker still rules, though.

So many of my favourites have already been mentioned so I won't even get into them.

Classic kids television beats the crap out of the new fare being dished out. However, the classics still appeal to even modern kids. My 4 year old was subjected to the entire series of Ulysses and he LOVED it. He is officially the 'space man with magic sword'.

Also - Rent A Ghost anyone? Or am I really showing my age and Britishness?

In no particular order, asterisks by the ones that I can still sing the theme tunes to:

Loony Tunes
Fresh Prince of Bel Air*
Scooby Doo
Tom and Jerry
Magic Roundabout*
Postman Pat*
Thunderbirds
Captain Scarlet (DUH duh duh duh-duh, In-dee-struct-able, DUH duh duh duh-duh)*
Noel's House Party
Blue Peter
Power Rangers
Live & Kicking
The Mask
Button Moon*
Count Duckula*
Dangermouse*
The Wombles*
Keenan and Kel

NOT Grange Hill or Byker Grove. They were terrible and I stand by that.

That's about it I think. Oh and Neighbours and Countdon. When I was at home during the day and my mum was watching day-time tv.

rolleyes.gif Not another one tongue.gif

Yeah it was pretty creepy. Not the creepiest thing I've ever seen but then I watched the dodgy 70/80s stuff with Tom Baker in it and it made this session of Dr Who look like a version of Hostel or something ohmy.gif Bad sets, bad acting and bad companions....except K9....won't here anything bad said about K9..... dry.gif

Whilst I appreciate your argument, I must point out that Hostel was about as disturbing as Countdown (except the Richard Whiteley years, which could get pretty disturbing...). In fact, it knocked Honest off my personal Worst Film Ever pedestal. Can't believe they made a sequel...

Ontopic, regardless of acting skill, Baker (Tom) is still the image I see in my head when I think of Doctor Who.

And K9 rox0rs. No argument.

The Treacle People was on yesterday morning, and although Wytu and I both haven't seen it for years and years, we managed to sing the feem toon simultaneously, without saying anything to one another about it. It freaked out the American guy we were watching it with and we had to explain what an awesome programme it was.

I was just reminded of a show I hadn't thought about in at least 15 years. Under the Umbrella Tree!

My sister named her iguana after the lizard...I think the name was Iggy? I know that the gopher's name was Gloria. Was the bird called Jay? Does anyone else even remember that show? laugh.gif
