what with NS being the serious mature place that it is I think its time we made a thread to discuss children's T.V, now being mature individuals we won't get too excited over postman pat and such so what I'm saying is:

post your fave children's program/one you like when you was young :p

mine is always pingu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTWv63RyLP8) because it has absolutely no educational value (I think I see a pattern emerging)

Mr. Rogers. I was sad when he died :(

Mr. Rogers. I was sad when he died :(

he scares me, he just sounds and acts so..Ned Flanders

yeh, pingu was awesome. i used to be able to do a pretty good inpression of them too :D

i used to love mosschops (http://www.toonhound.com/moschops.htm) when i was really small.

Sesame Street, Lam Chop, Power Rangers... those three come to mind.

I worshiped that show!

I worshiped that show!Hell yeah! Power Rangers was the shit.

Mr. Rogers. I was sad when he died :(

He died?! :eek: :(

Actually, I think that is one of those things that I knew, but tried not to think about.

There are so many tv shows i love.

Eureeka's Castle, Magellan was awesome.

Hell yeah! Power Rangers was the shit.

As sad as it is to admit it, yes, yes it was.

Yess!!! Mr. Rogers! How could I forget.

As sad as it is to admit it, yes, yes it was.I watched it way past the age you were really supposed to...

... it's actually still on, but a crappy new version. :mad: HOW COULD THEY RUIN THE POWER RANGERS!!!

Hell yeah! Power Rangers was the shit.

YEA, I loved Power Rangers...I used to be a big Barney fan too, and all of those old classic 90's Marvel Comics cartoons...Spiderman, X-Men, Silver Surfer...

Wow, thats my 300th post

He died?! :eek: :(

He died back in 2k3. A lot of my friends and I were pretty upset about it.

Eureeka's Castle, Magellan was awesome.

He was the dragon, yes? I vaguely remember loving that show, but I can't for the life of me remember much about it.

Oh, and how can I forget: Muppet Babies.

YEA, I loved Power Rangers...I used to be a big Barney fan too, and all of those old classic 90's Marvel Comics cartoons...Spiderman, X-Men, Silver Surfer...Barney... that damn purple dino!!! Damn him!!!! I loved the big fella, Even if he was a bit pedo-like and spooky at times.

Let's see...I watched "Blue Peter" as a little kid, and "Sharon, Lois, and Bram" before that. As a young teen, I watched "Are You Afraid of the Dark?," "Clarissa Explains It All," and "Alex Mack." My boyfriend has a stupid crush on Alex Mack. :P

As a young teen, I watched "Are You Afraid of the Dark?," "Clarissa Explains It All," and "Alex Mack." My boyfriend has a stupid crush on Alex Mack. :PHoly crap, the first two! I remember those. Are You Afraid of the Dark? was so fucking scary. I actually had nightmares from a couple of their episodes.

Holy crap, the first two! I remember those. Are You Afraid of the Dark? was so fucking scary. I actually had nightmares from a couple of their episodes.

I'll say. That's about the same time I was reading those Goosebumps books at summer camp, scary as shit also.

Sharon, Lois, and Bram...I vaguely remember that show. I think it may have been cancelled off of Nickelodeon when I was like 4 or 5, so I don't remember the details much.

Man...I'm getting nostalgic.

I'll say. That's about the same time I was reading those Goosebumps books at summer camp, scary as shit also.I actually got so addicted to those books my mom wouldn't buy me any more of them.

Yeah, I'm showing my age...all 25 years, in June. :D

I actually got so addicted to those books my mom wouldn't buy me any more of them.

I got them from the library cause I was a volunteer there. Sneaky, huh? Heck, I earned those Goosebumps nightmares after spending hours and hours shelving books and getting a headache from the old musty air. Blech! I like libraries a lot more now that I don't have to work in them.

He was the dragon, yes? I vaguely remember loving that show, but I can't for the life of me remember much about it.

Oh, and how can I forget: Muppet Babies.

Here's an interesting fact: R.L. Stine wrote that show [Eureeka's Castle] .... Whatever happend to him?

Muppet babies awesom too.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles FTW.

I used to like Eek! The Cat and X-Men the Animated Series. Before that it was Power Rangers, Sesame Street and yes...Barnie. So gay.

I like libraries a lot more now that I don't have to work in them.Lol, yup. My mom wouldn't even let me check them out of the library after a while. I don't know why. They were all I read, I pretty much refused everything else.

oh... too much...

almost all of the Super Sentai (http://www.rovang.org/sentai/) shows... much better than Power Rangers.
Brave Raideen (http://www.maxtoons.com/Raideen.htm)

Arthur. It was addicting.

Shining Time Station. George Carlin and Ringo Starr, 'nough said.

Barney.

Sesame Street. An all time classic.

I loved are you afrid of the dark. I had nightmares from one of them.

Does anybody rember the episode where the guy draws a door on the wall and a monster comes out?

Shining Time Station was pimp.

Now they just show Thomas the Tank Engine with Starr voice over and it's some shitty learning show.

Just remembered a classic!!

What about THE RED HAND GANG!!

Got to go down as the best themetune ever!!

Ghost Writer anyone?

I was sad to find out the muppets have been owned by disney for three years now.

*looks to the sky*
DAMN YOU DISNEY!!!

Ah...but there's always pepe the prawn ;)

bah, you're still a kid. :p

Thanks! It's even more flattering to be told that by a guy who's giving me a back massage. *happy*

Fraggle Rock. Henson was a bloody genius.

Hey, I have the theme song for that on my winamp!

I remember this awesome awesome show from when I was young, but I've never met anybody else who remembers it.

It was basically this wee kid, and he had (I think) a book. And (I think) that this magic bird lived in it/came out of it. It looked like a sand coloured ostrich, and had rainbow coloured socks, as far as I remember.

It sort of did wishes and stuff.

Really good show. Can't remember its name.

Ghost Writers. Ah yes, the Hispanic guy on that show ended up on the Real World as the flamboyantly gay one.

Thanks! It's even more flattering to be told that by a guy who's giving me a back massage. *happy*

hey... don't move now... *works on lower back*

Your thinking of Figure it Out. They would chose a secret phrase or action and when the contestent(s) did them they would get slimed. Sometimes all sometimes only one.

I forgot All That

and

Kenean & Kel

Kenean & Kel

shit! i'd forgotten all about them! they were hilarious :D

Tell me about it, lol.

Naw, it was You Can't Do That on Television (the light came on in my head to google the phrase and Nick lol)

Although the contestant idea reminded me of another show I always watched- Double Dare

Does The Price Is Right count as childrens TV if your babysitter always watched it?

Some were Battletech, Transformers, Gargoyles, Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys, and much (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRdj6vImF8E) much (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPdSD7gca64) more (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGEgpiN5k78).

Hey Arnold

and much more. All I remember now is that I grew up on a combination of badly dubbed anime, badly dubbed American cartoons, and a bunch of REALLY bad and cheese Chinese martial arts drama.

I never saw much television as a kid. My parents didn't have one.

This reminds me, a while back, some asshole on ytmnd started a trend of using an extremely catching and equally as annoying Lazy Town song. I couldn't get it out of my head for a full day.

I'd say that there definitely needs to be more violence on children's TV, though.

Wishbone. That show is the only reason why I know anything about classic literature.
