Thundercats, the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, Bucky O'Hare, Biker Mice From Mars, Teenage Mutant Ninja/Hero Turtles, Thunderbirds, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Count Duckula....the list is pretty much endless.

And wasn't terrestrial TV so much better when they showed Tom & Jerry and Looney Tunes stuff, especially the Roadrunner versus Coyote cartoons? I can still spend a long time laughing myself into an injury watching the Coyote fall off a cliff

Some I remember watching:

Ren & Stimpy - This would be only shown after the 9PM watershed I think, so gross and disturbing that it was funny.

Rocco's Modern Life

Hey Arnold!

Cow & Chicken

Honourable mention: The Simpsons

Nobody watched Monkey Magic?

That was my childhood.

Wasn't he born out of an egg that looked like a massive sheep turd? There was that, and The Water Margin, though I can't remember much about that one.

The Machine Gunners was a pretty formative bit of TV for a lad like me, well into toy soldiers, Action Man and war films

anyone remember jayce and the wheeled warriors?

Its shameful that this is post 24.

I'm wondering if there is any point trying to accumulate all the great shows I used to watch as a kid on DVD for my kids. Jayce, bucky o'hare, dinowarriors, Duckula, transformers, he-man, centurions, etc etc. All seem even now better than the new stuff.

Just seen the complete Count Duckula set for £15.39. That's got to be a steal.
