    Kid's tv show

    Okay, something got me to thinking and wondering what my fave children's tv show of all time is....but i can't decide.

    Grange Hill early 80s was great, Home (I think that was what it was called about a chuldren's home remarkably) or Chocky!

    What is yours?

    Re: Kid's tv show

    This is simple! As im 34 and a child of the eighties, my favorite tv shows from when I was a kid are:

    Highway to heaven.
    CHiPs
    The littlest hobo
    The Waltons.
    :D

    (Land of the giants was pretty cool too!)

    I used to love this one.



    I could have posted a colour picture but we only had a B&W TV then.

    Sad fact on these is that I think I can remember nearly all of the theme tunes virtually word for word. There was a post the other day about useless stuff people can do. I think my (most) useless feature is my ability to remember just about all the cartoon and kid's show theme tunes and lyrics.

    Re: Kid's tv show

    I used to love Speedbuggy (think Scooby Doo with a beach buggy instead of a great dane), I managed to get a DVD of the series and it's total crap!

    TBH, I think that some of the new kids programs are great, Spongebob Squarepants is my current favourite..

    Re: Kid's tv show

    Hi,

    depends upon how many years you cover I suppose. As I was born in '62, so you might reasonably expect the following:

    Supercar
    Stingray
    Thunderbirds
    Star Trek
    Lost In Space
    Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea
    Dr Who
    Captain Scarlet
    Blue Peter
    Joe 90
    UFO
    Starfleet
    Land of The Giants
    TimeSlip
    Magpie

    Somewhat later:
    Swapshop
    Tiswas
    Space 1999

    After all these years; still watching Dr Who, Thunderbirds and Star Trek with my kids (plus Blue Peter when they were younger). :D Have probably left quite a few things out. Memory not what it was...

    Re: Kid's tv show

    I can go back further than most of you.

    Torchy (the battery boy)
    Twizzle
    Four Feather Falls
    The Woodentops
    Rag, Tag & Bobtail
    Andy Pandy
    Muffin the Mule (it was legal then)
    Bill & Ben (they could talk the talk)
    Tales of the Riverbank

    Life was so much simpler then.

    I did mention that my memory was not what it was. Also forgot about Trumptom and Camberwick Green! Banana Splits and all those other great dubbed holiday time shows, Robinson Crusoe, Belle & Sebastian. Hana Barbera stuff - Scooby Doo, Flintstones, Wacky Races, Hair Bear Bunch, Top Cat...
