What childrens TV shows did you grow with

Lunatic Dreyfus · 11 Apr 2014 at 14:56

The list could go on for ages, but particular highlights are.

He-Man
Ulysses 31 - I missed the final episode twice! Youtube saved me many, many years later.
Thundercats - Slightly too young and naïve to realise how messed up it was.

Tom & Jerry/Road Runner and the like.
Grange Hill from '82 - '89.

I was also a proper Blue Peter snob, I couldn't deal with the riff raff that appeared on ITV after 5pm.

how far back do you want to go?
Jackanory, Playschool, Magpie, The Magic Roundabout and Rainbow to Chocky, Tomorrow People, Knightmare and other such shows....

El nombre when I was in primary 1st year XD
oh the memories

K1LLSW1TCH · 11 Apr 2014 at 15:24

I was born in '87.

The Raccoons
Gummy Bears
DuckTales
The Moomins
Garfield
Rugrats
Arthur
Recess
Hey Arnold
Daria
Saved by the Bell
Fun House
Finders Keepers
Tintin
Biker Mice from Mars
The Angry Beavers
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Wild Thornberrys

That's what I can remember off the top of my head but I'm sure there are loads more that I can't remember. I think I actually preferred the 80's stuff that was being re-run rather than the silly amount of Nickelodeon stuff that I seemed to watch daily.

I blame the parents.
