I just felt like making this poll having just watched a kid's show with my little sister. You'll will probably only know these if you watch British TV. My personal favorite is Thomas the tank engine having watched thta when I was five

Yea, Thomas Rules forever, though at the moment I have found myself watching Bodger and Badger! "Everybody knows Badger loves Mash Potato!"

Thomas!

I've still got the toys in my bedroom...

I have a big Thomas Pillow in mine! And I think I have some toys somewhere...

I haven't heard of but three of those. And you didn't put up Sesame Street? :(

edit: No wonder, those must all be UK shows! But don't you have Sesame Street?

We used to. Then they moved it...

I used to watch it at lunch-times!

Brum was so unbelievably cute! :p

Thomas the fecking Tank Engine! Everything else (apart from Brum, maybe) sucks donkey knob.

Current show? Is "The Big Knights" still on? That show rocked the house! Insane knights who accidently destroy the lives of others, what's not to like?!

Also, Roger and the Rottentrolls. That was awesome. Amazingly awesome. Like, best children's show ever. Jim-jam-yahaaa!

My friends would say you missed 'Trap-Door'

"Don't you open that trapdoor, cos there's something down there"

Thomas the Tank Engine. I had the pjama's, the bead spread, the toys, everything.

I've only ever seen one episode of Ninja Turtles. Didn't like it all that much.

ive got a thomas the tank pillow on my bed now. except its got james on one side and percy on another. im eighteen, is this wrong?

My niece has Thomas EVERYTHING! Thomas clothes, Thomas (and I mean all the other engines and cars) train set, with most the other trains, a train station, etc., Thomas pajamas, Thomas DVDs, Thomas books... and she talks about Thomas all the time. That's the only reason I know of it, but I like it better than the other options.


FYI: George Carlin does Thomas the Tank Engine's voice! :D

Thomas, Barney, Teletubbies, Bob the Builder are all on in the U.S. (I'm in the U.S.) ;)

Yay! Brum!

Thomas the tank engine :D

We have a few of the origional books, which I believe were supposed to be the same characters but there were only about 4 of them and they didn't have names.

Sesame Street

I remebered tose they were ace; i don't know why they stopped it though. :(

I have some thomas the tank engine toys which now my sister spreads around the house. What's your favorite character; mine are harold, Mavis and Trevor

My favs are Thomas, James, Percy and Duck.

They are probably my second-ranking favorites :p

Fraggle Rock.

My friends would say you missed 'Trap-Door'

"Don't you open that trapdoor, cos there's something down there"

Damn right you missed Trap Door. 40 episodes made, every single one 3 minutes and 39 seconds long, and I have all of them on dvd.
You also missed:
Thundercats
Transformers
Superted
Animaniacs
Captain Planet (& the Planeteers)
Looney Tunes
Potatoes & Dragons
My Parents Are Aliens
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (think it was called that anyway...)
etc
etc
etc

Count Duckula hasn't been mentioned yet either :p

Or Widget. That show was pretty cool.

Animal hospital is good. Ditto Miffy and friends.

My friends would say you missed 'Trap-Door'

"Don't you open that trapdoor, cos there's something down there"

yes vive le trapdoor

and to a lesser extent, BIKER MICE FROM MARS

You forgot one of the best "Kid's Shows" ever! WONDER SHOWZEN!

Thundercats and transformers were definitely missed in the poll...as was He-Man!

Also, Roger and the Rottentrolls. That was awesome. Amazingly awesome. Like, best children's show ever. Jim-jam-yahaaa!

Oh yeah! That show was awesome! One of the few kids shows I could still watch, and find funny, when I was 12.

But i'm talking about the shows you watch when your 2-6 unless you did watch all that when you were 6 :confused:

well it seems thomas the tank engine rocks all! Which everybody knew any way

With the one's listed...Thomas! Get on Ringo!

But you missed, in no particular order:
Bertha
Transformers
Thundercats
Fraggle Rock
Trap Door
Super Gran
Count Duckula
Dangermouse
Top Cat
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles
Postman Pat
Portland Bill
Bagpuss
The Clangers
The Moomins
Button Moon
The Care Bears
The Challenge of the Go-Bots (come on, someone somewhere had to like 'em!)

Its gotta be Thomas! Especially with Ringo as Mr. Conductor, or whoever it is who uses his voice.

Hey, where's Dora the Explorer, Sesame Street, Blue's Clues, Power Rangers, Somethin' Somethin' Pappy Land, Out of the Box, Craft's Creatures, Zoomoovoomafoo (sp?), Zoom, and Wishbone?

I guess some of those have been cancelled and stuff. Shame, shame, shame.

My favorite kids movie though is Pee Wee Hermans Big Adventure!

I don't keep up with modern kid's shows, so it was thomas v. barney. I said thomas because of Ringo's narration. Oh, and Barney's disturbing.

I loved Barney! There was one episode that I loved so much I had Mom tape it, and I would act out my favorite song... Yay, Barney!

Anything by Sid & Marty Krofft.

If you don't know what We're talking about, consider yourselves lucky. :D

Meh, none of those. DR. SNUGGLES!

It's the Fat Controller, unless that names now been decleared unPC.

I always preferred Gumby and maybe the first series of Power Rangers to the others... althought Thomas was great. I think I had all the Gumby stuff.

But i'm talking about the shows you watch when your 2-6 unless you did watch all that when you were 6 :confused:
You didn't really specify that they had to be one's I watched when I was a kid. My list is just some of my favourite TV shows made for kids. Doesn't matter when I watched them. I could still happily watch any of the ones in my list, plus dozens others. And I still do :D
And it would be difficult for me to have watched Potatoes & Dragons when I was 6. Even when I was 16 it still hadn't been made.

the only one on the poll that i have ever liked is Thomas the Tank Engine...i watched that as a child and (ahem) still do...its got a great theme tune and is voiced by Ringo Starr...yay!. But i think my favourite overall kids TV show was Thundercats...and there doesnt seem to be anywhere where you can buy DVDs of this...whether online or in shops...can anyone help me?

The only thing on that poll that was even around when I was a kid was Thomas the Tank Engine. Of course, we knew it as Shining Time Station.
What fun, with little conducter people played by Ringo, and later the loveable George Carlin.

THUNDERCATS! i had all the videos :D ...so much better than he-man

Bah! I deride your selection of 90's shows. In my day we had decent shows. The Raccoons (1985-1991) is the ultimate kids TV show, and none of this modern rubbish with dancing blobs can match it.

(Sorry about that. I just get irritated that so few people appreciated The Raccoons...)

those racoons were so cool...i dont know what those pink creatures were though

They were meant to be aardvarks. I'm not sure why there were aardvarks living wild ('Wild'? Syril Sneer was bloody livid...) in Canada though...

You wanna go old school?
Aww man, some of the best:
- Racoons
- Samurai Pizza Cats
- Teddy Reuxpin
- Babar
- GI-Joe

Hell.. I could go on and on.

Wow, someone else remebers the Raccoons (looks over list from previous post, Doh! I forgot it!).

"This is the evergreen forest. Quiet. Peaceful. Serene.
That is until Bert Raccoon wakes up!"

I have a vague memory of Teddy Ruxpin (I remember talking about it to a kid at school when I was 5). Did it have an airship with a giant lodestone in it?

I believe it did.

"Luckily he has some good friends to help him out..." I think the song at the end of The Raccoons (Run With Us by Lisa Lougheed) was the best theme tune to any kids' TV show. Plus it was a top 10 single in Canada.

Nice. Was a good song though.

I used to get up every Saturday morning and watch it, just before Going Live (sheesh, seems ages ago now.)

Anyone remember Wack-a-Day?

I'm getting an image of a guy with strange glasses...

Thomas prodded considerable buttock.

P.S. I remember the racoons, but they were rubbish!

Heretic! We must punish him in some ironic way, probably making use of rabid raccoons.

Thats the one. Timmy Mallet! Go Timmy!
