Handsdown Invader Zim, but recently I’ve been watching a show called Marvelous Misadventures of Flap Jack and it’s my new favorite show.
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
shera, princess of power!
the busy world of richard scarry
i’m going to have to go with either rocket power or the big comfy couch =)
saved by the bell.
yogi bear
the raccoons!
that cyril sneer….!
Arthur! When I was a little kid, it was one of the only shows my mom would let me watch after school, and we would all watch it together. And even though I’m all grown up now, when I come home we still watch it! Definitely one of the smartest and funniest kids shows on tv.
When I was a kid, my favorite show was Pokemon. Not the terrible Pokemon on TV now, but old-school Pokemon with questionable animation techniques and subpar voice acting. Other amazing cartoon shows include Code Lyoko and Phineas and Ferb, but Pokemon is the show that’s going to stay with me forever.
Favourite television show growing up would have to be Batman: The Animated Series.
Sesame Street, duh
DUCKTALES by FAR. but also Adventures of the Gummi Bears. CLASSIC Disney saturday cartoons. so good.
Loved watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Transformers. Shame that they keep make more of these show cause they have lost the wonder they used to have.
he-man…masters of the universe ya know!
Duck Tales , a wwwo ooo !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwH1taatvyM
my favorite shows were
HEY ARNOLD
RUGRATS
CAT DOG
PEEWEES PLAYHOUSE
PINK PANTHER!
only the best
POWERPUFF GIRLS! although i don’t know why
Doraemon!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon
I’ve been always liking it.
Man I feel old…
Probably Sesame Street… or Electric Company.
OMG RUgratssss for sho!! OH and Earthworm Jim!!
When I was a kid we didn’t have cable, so whenever we’d visit my grandmother after some forced hugs and kisses I would run downstairs to the “tv room”. One of my all time favorite shows to watch would be Woody Woodpecker. I can still remember the intro.. Guesss whoo?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apLe_iB0V_U
Ren & Stimpy for sure. My parents weren’t thrilled with the idea but I LOVED it. Oh, and I would LOVE a subscription to Anorak – I was thinking of getting one anyway!
Sesame Street!
me please!!!
It’s got to be a tie between Angry Beavers and Hey Arnold.
arthur
boy meets world, forever
Inspector Gadget (mid 80’s) in the mornings before school at my buddy Mark’s house. We would eat Honey Smacks cereal and sit about a foot away from the tv.
oh and my favourites were button moon and Hot dog, but no one seems to remember hot dog?! It was on UK Gold….
Noozles! Yay for anthropomorphic koalas, platypuses, & cassowaries. ^___^
Kablam!
when tv was good and sky tv was cheap
also ren and stimpy, classic
Geez, it’s probably gotta be Fraggle Rock.
That or Ren and Stimpy, but that was in my later years.
“Adventures of the Gummi Bears” was amazing to me…and “Masters of the Universe”
Arthur! I would wake up extra early for school to watch. But all the voices are different now, and I can’t get used to it.
I loved Art Attack, Rainbow, The Magic Roundabout, Danger Mouse and Byker Grove. :]
Haha definitely THUNDER CATS…..sorry there is no way possible to that. win
to top that*
Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood
Sharkey and George
Danger Mouse, Lucky Luke and Transformers
Foster home for Imaginary friends.
I probably watched it when I was about 14, but it made me happy to think that my old imaginary friend was being adopted somewhere.
tom and jerry…hands down, that silly mouse
ANGELA ANACONDA!
Astro Boy
Sesame Street was my entire childhood.
DuckTales
The Angry Beavers.
dsd
Nothing possibly (frighteningly) inspired me more than Willo the Wisp. You simply cannot argue with the genius of a cartoon where a dog floats away on his own thought balloon and a legless torso of a newsreader breaks free from his 2D TV existence to hobble away.
Fraggle Rock, and then once I became jaded I turned to Street Sharks.
Would definately have to go with Roger Ramjet~!
Come on – he is the hero of our nation – kaZAM~!
… ps His Proton Pills are HEAPS cooler than spinich
my favourite tv show as a kid was ‘the box of delights’.
power rangers!
my favorite kid show… hm.
I think it’s a tie between Johnny Quest and Thundercats!
Street Sharks, Bobby’s World, Life With Louie, Rocco’s Modern Life.
Fraggle Rock! (with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pulling up a close second.)
Sesame Street and…. Sesame Street
Ronin Warriors. I even drew my own characters!
ALLLL THAAAAAAT!
! fraggle rock
I loved the Get Along Gang, Mr Benn and Animaniacs. And I still do.
Lambchop! This is the song that never ends…
OMG!
The Visionaries!
I LOVED Sonic the Hedgehog… the ABC Saturday morning version anyway. The other series, not so much.
Are You Afraid Of The Dark. DUH!
(Clarissa Explains It All is a very close second)
it had koala bears and they ate eucalyptus leaves and there were boomerangs
I’m never growing up soooo… Wonder Showzen!
3-2-1-CONTACT!
MR. DRESSUP!
el chavo del ocho!, pete&pete, teenage mutant ninja turtttleeessssss
LITTLE BEAR!/b
was it weird to have always thought that Little Bear and Emily had a thing for each other?
Was a sad day when the realisation hit me that humans and bears can’t make babies togethor
Books were my television shows. c:
My favourite ones were, Trap door, Danger mouse, Bananaman, Super Ted, The Clangers and Duckula! I guess I’m showing my age but then again what do you know with your fancy American cartoons. CBBC cheap programming, dodgy puppets and shonky animation for the win!!!
ROUND THE TWIST
GOOF TROOP
DARKWING DUCK
POWER RANGERS
RUG RATS
SAVED BY THE BELL
Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood
CAPTAIN PLANET ALL THE WAY! How could you beat that multi-cultural alliance taking out pollution and saving all the animals? I still remember the theme song…Captain Planet, he’s our hero gonna take pollution down to zero. Awesome show, wish they still had reruns.
Oh, and Recess. I think it was Saturday morning on ABC family. That was a GREAT show.
LITTLE BEAR!
Is it weird to have thought Little Bear and Emily had a thing for each other?
Was a sad say when the realisation hit, that bears and humans can’t make babies togethor
oh my! One of my favorites would have to be the ever wacky Zoobilee Zoo! Who can deny these faces!
http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/2009/zoobilee-zoo-cast-pic.jpg
Thunder cats, straight up
I think one of my favorite shows growing up was LambChops on Pbs
Raffi- the folk singer who would lead you into the woods for sing alongs. Bananaphone was one of my favorites, and I to act like a little whale while singing Baby Baluga.
Then of course Sesame Street, I had a weird crush on Oscar, I like em grouchy but with a soft heart.
Thanks for all the giveaway chances Booooooom!
I was a sucker for Sailor Moon.
inspector gadget
i was definitely a close follower of the oldskool pokemon series. original 150 all the waaay! who can resist a show with its own trading cards?
Wishbone! Because I loved reading and dogs, and hey, it’s all together in one!
I was only allowed an hour of television a day, so I also watched a lot of Full House and Fresh Prince of Bel Air (which I didn’t understand, being little, but I still loved it.)
Pinwheel, which was Nickalodeon’s version Sesame Street.
Oh god either Arthur or Hey Arnold. Arthur had freaking ziggy marley do the theme song, and the main character was an aardvark.
Hey arnold was like some kind of freedom writers-esque show, cept with intriguing back story’s and funny shaped heads
I used to enjoy tv colosso, that was like the muppets but from brasil.
the adventures of pete and pete. !
DUNDERKLUMPEN!
OH! I forgot that whenever at a friend’s house with cable, I was all about Are You Afraid of the Dark? and All That!
AHH real monsters!
Without question it was H.R. Pufnstuf. A close second would be Daktari.
Capt’n Kangaroo Doggs.
the 1974 Karlson on the roof
Tintin (:
superted and danger mouse… 80s cartoons were the best
3-2-1 Contact, I’m not too ashamed to say…
GOONIES
On the odd Sunday afternoon, The Hilarious House of Frightenstein would be on CBC, and I would lose my shit. Psychodelic dancing hippy DJ? Check. Assorted monsters? Check. Science and grammar lessons? Check. What’s not to favor?
Felix the cat for sure!!!
The great space coaster
clarissa explains it all.
comment. yes please!!!!!!!!
Sesame Street, of course…. and I LOVED the Road Runner. Too bad it doesn’t air anymore…
Hands down the looney toons, especially Marvin the Martian.
Hare-Way to Heaven
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1exaPnVq5U
Thank you much,
boom rocks a lot, like a geode.
BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES… DUH
teenage mutant ninja turtles!
i liked thunderbirds and samurai pizza cats.
kulderzipken! It was this fairy tale about a simple, poor boy called…well kulderzipken. There was this king that constantly insulted his wife and made up new ridiculous laws like: whales don’t exist because they are bigger than me. The queen was always looking for a new hobby and the princess was a tomboy, she was in love with kulderzipken. The king wouldn’t let them marry so he and the devil’s mother thought up all these impossible tasks for kulderzipken. He tried to solve them with the help of two brothers called Grimm. they invented stuff that sometimes worked, but mostly just exlploded and they adressed everyone as sir. man i loved that show!
Hey arnold! and Doug.
My favourite show was Cardcaptor Sakura growing up. It’s a japanese anime featuring a 10 year old girl who has magical powers and captures cards that also have powers.
I watched it in the original japanese [with english subtitles] as to keep all the relationships the same. The english dubbing had taken out the gay relationships that were hinted at in the series and various other things.
The anime is just really cute and lovely.
The Xuxa Show
Fraggle Rock all day!
The Lost Cities Of Gold!
Taught me all about Peru and Machu Pichu, fed my imagination and made me draw mysterious cities hidden in jelly mountains and clouds for years to come!
teenage mutant ninja turtles, rep it.
They’re Pinky and the Brain
yes Pinky and the Brain
one is a genius
the other’s insane!
The rube goldeberg machines they would make inspired so many ill-fated, crippled attempts at turning off the light without getting up from bed!
it was definitely Rocko’s Modern Life.
sailor moon, even though my mom didn’t allow it
Sesame street
Bill Nye the Science Guy
thunder cats! ho
Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood
heathcliff the cat
The pink panther =]

Captain Planet and the Planeteers.
Saving the enviorment and being incredibly awesome.
Robotech!
kimba the white lion rocked!
Growing up,my favorite Children’s show to watch is Mr. Dressup. He taught me to draw in a simple and fun way. He also is a good actor and a great singer too. The puppets made the show even better.
Barbapapa!!!!! and they look like Anorak
Very very tough choice, I am too indecisive.
Was it Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Real Ghostbusters,BatmanTAS, Toxic Crusader, maybe Johnny Brav even?,
The Trap Door! it was so ace and the music was rad – 80s stylee. my neighbour had a vhs of it and I used to go round all the time.
The Muppet Show. I’d watch it with my Dad, and we’d recreate the skit where one muppet sang “You Are My Sunshine” and the other would interrupt yelling Ooga Booga!
Darkwing Duck started my lifelong relation with all things superheroic. Ergo, it comes out ahead as my favourite children’s show.
The Magic School Bus was my favorite
I used to eat string cheese and watch that show on repeat
Program with the mouse on German television…
or as it’s called originally sendung mit der maus
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/252/481581.gif
Totally old school sesame Street!!
Ren & Stimpy made me the screwed-up adult that I am today, and I will always love John Kricfalusi for messing with my impressionable head.
I always really liked The Rottentrolls, though I have a sneaky suspicion that I might have been a bit too old. Or at least I did until a couple of weeks ago when I youtubed some and it’s still obviously funny! Funnier in fact, I was obviously punching above my intellectual weight as a ten year old. So that pleased me.
Check this out if you’re browsing: there’s some cutting edge observations about art AND religion to be found! Ha. I love this show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acxT3beGrgQ
Rocco’s Modern Life (& Sesame St.)
I liked Dragon Ball Z
bill nye the science guy!
A little embarrassing and strange but I used to love He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
man, seems i’m in the older bracket here….but electric company was the sheeeittt, with morgan freeman playing the easy reader character when he was still cutting his acting teeth…not to mention the richard pryor popping in for pre-crack jokes!
Tin-tin. Or Babar.
Pif et Hercule FTW!
Rocky & Bullwinkle and Keenan & Kel
BarbaPapa
el chapulin colorado
Jem
and
Candy!
Button Moon
Cosby Show all the way to the bank.
SHIRTTALES!!!!
the jetsons was really good
Rocko’s Modern Life!
Thudercats!
++ Sesame Street
++ Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood
&& GARGOYLES!
Doug!
(Doo-da-doo-da-doo-doo…)
ZOIDS NEW CENTURY ZERO
Reading Rainbow. Lavar Burton will always have a special place in my heart <3
Legends of the Hidden Temple
Power Rangers – I was always the blue ranger – not as in your face as red ranger and don’t get me started on the black ranger!
Captain Kangaroo.
H.R. Pufnstuf
Animaniacs
It taught me sarcasm, Orson Welles, and a healthy dose of irreverence. Without it, I might of been somebody.
Bill Nye the Science Guy!
(Science rules!)
Hands down the looney toons, especially ones with Marvin the Martian, like Hare-Way to Heaven.
THE SMURFS
THE SMURFS
THE SMURFS
My Pet Monster! With the purple monster and the closet and the dark dimension and all those amazing hidden things that happened on my little TV when i was sitting on that hideous couch with my big brothers.
Mr. Dressup. He taught me how to tie my shoes and everything, I’d also like to think his drawings inspired me to pursue a career in illustration. He was phenomenal!
Monkey Magic!
I cried everytime I missed an episode of Sailor Moon. Rocko’s Modern Life really screwed me up after that
.
Pokemon, no doubt. Ash was my first husband.
Ren and Stimpy was pretty amazing for a “kids” show.
I wasn’t allowed to watch Beavis and Butthead
Scooby-Doo! the old school version
The Wild Thornberrys
Street Sharks
Doug all the way
you can’t do that on television!
OHMYGOSH i forgot all about The Big Comfy Couch until just now. so many fun times watching that show, i miss it XD.
Fraggle Rock !!!
=)
power reangers
Ok ok, i have another. Big Bad Beatleborgs! it was so awesome, i liked it better than power rangers.
power rangers
Arthur!
Angela Anaconda
THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!
I learned more stuff on that show than in class.
el show de http://www.fantasti.cc
there are so many little girls hahhaha !
DRUNK RELIGION!
BANANAS IN PAJAMAS
Spongebob Squarepants.. Still is
sailor moon.
I was addicted to Sesame Street. It’s sad that the new Sesame Street episodes no longer have the charm and randomness of the 1980s and 1990s.
gummy bears
The Magic School Bus is definitely the show I best remember because I learned SO MUCH and still apply a lot of that knowledge today.
However, the Wild Thornberrys was my favorite show because it was just far too awesome!
I saw reading rainbow and will go with that, otherwise sesame street.
My favourite show was Rupert the Bear. I always wished I could adventure with him.
KRTEK!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOzH8TQ7joY
The Smoggies! I still remember the theme song, it makes me deliriously happy. Also, Art Attack was amazing, I definitely created quite a few of Neil’s crafts. And NED’S NEWT! (He’s so humongous, very precocious!)
Hey Arnold! Football head.
married with children.
Doug was my jam when i was a kid!
The Ren & Stimpy Show owned my life.
mighty mouse and beakmans world
i think its safe to say that spongebob squarepants was my childhood tv-cult program of choice.
i could recite every episode word for word, and had the secret Krabby Patty recipe memorized at one point.
johny bravo was the man
easy; Mr. Dressup. Like a couple others have mentioned he was a huge inspiration to me growing-up. Was always mesmerized by the way he could pick up a big fat marker and effortlessly draw a character with just a few lines. No mistakes. He was so chill too. Brings back all kinds of memories. Macaroni crafts, shag carpet, turn-dial TVs, the CBC exploding pizza/logo animation…
my kids, they like Sponge Bob and Hannah Montana.
*sigh*
re. CBC exploding pizza:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7zj81gOrLQ&feature=related
Swat Kats and Tailspin! And Power Rangers. Which, might I add, I was the only kid out of two classes of 30 in third grade to like that show. .___.
It is hard to remember, all those listed before hand left me with a lot of “hecks yea, I remember that one…” Electric Company does rank real high, but mostly i remember just being excited about cartoons in general, either rushing home after school to watch GI JOE or Transformers, or He-Man, or so many others, or getting up so early on Saturdays that I watched the Farm Report and Hawaii 5-O (sp?) before all the Saturday Morning cartoons. Samples loop in my head: After these messages we’ll be right back, I’m hankerin for a hunka, a slab a slice a chunka, I’m hankerin for a hunka cheese. I don’t even know what that means. Does anybody else remember the laffalympics (again spelling?). Hanna Barbara somehow both raised and lowered the bar at the same time. It really made Batman the animated series a revelation when it appeared. Bruce Tim indeed. Then of course, Rocky & Bullwinkle, mostly watched with my Dad on Summer Vacation at like six or seven in the morning at my Grandparents house. Often I’m kinda saddened by the thought that Mattel and Hasbro and the like created a series of a halfhour long animated commercials that so very much dominated my life, but really, at the time, they were just so freaking cool.
Man, I really liked Eureka’s castle.
The puppets were cool and there were no real people in it (or very few, as I remember), anything that wasn’t a cartoon or had too many human beings in it creeped me out. Also it had a claymation segment that was fantastic
No one’s heard of Samurai Pizza Cats. It was replaced by the first episode of Pokemon.
Oh man there was this amazing playdoh motion cartoon from italy called AEIOU. Didnt make much sense to me then but still love it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ighLADtZU
THUNDERCATSSS!!!!! ooohhhh… and Silverhawks!
I have have have to say… that there are so many! But the Animaniacs were pretty clear and dear to my heart…Yakko, Wakko, Dot and I were oh so close… Sadly but more so proudly, I still sport much of that show in my present personality…
oh the lovely lovely days of youth, cereal, and animated heaven.
Earth,Fire,Wind,Water,Heart – With these powers combined – I – am CAPTAIN PLANET!
Captain Planet and The Planeteers was so ahead of its time! Saving the Earth? Using solar powered transportation? Totally dope.
No joke: The Joy of Painting (with Bob Ross!)
because who doesn’t love a soft-spoken, middle aged white guy with a bushy perm making “happy little trees”???
When I wasn’t watching the movie Splash over and over again I think my favorite thing to watch on TV as a kid was the animated Batman…
FELIX THE CAT! & top cat, the flinstones, the jetsons. hahaha :p
The Friendly Giant was the best show.
I think the theme song always used to make me cry. Although Mr. Dressup was much more interesting and funny, there was something incredibly comforting about the miniature chairs and fireplace.
Anamaniacs! (Although Sesame Street runs a close second)
Captain Planet and the Planeteers!!!!
“EARTH!”
“FIRE!”
“WIND!”
“WATER!”
“HEART!”
“Go Planet!”
“By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!”
Captain Planet, he’s our hero
Gonna take pollution down to zero.
i love anorak!
(i cant decide between powerpuff girls and pokemon.)
my favorite tv show as a child was powerpuff girls!
I loved FERAL TV(Australian Television Program) ..dude that show was insane madigliana the cat is who i aspired to be when i grew up, she was a trashy street cat ..it got taken off tv for being too risque
I always loved Invader Zim hardcore.
I’m from Brazil… so Chaves! (aka…El Chavo del Ocho)
Ren and Stimpy!!
too tough to pick just one i dug so many, so top 2:
electric company > battle of the planets
sesamy street
mighty max. talking chicken dudes!
Pippi Longstocking!!
FAT ALBERT and the Cosby Kids… HEY HEY HEY
mr. rogers’ neighborhood for sure… i loved the “how they made it” bits and especially remember the one documenting the birth of crayons…..
For me it was ARGH! Real Monsters and The Ren & Stimpy show!
Mr Dressup.
Definitely Pingu on TVO. I always thought it was wonderful that Pingu and the rest of the characters spoke in complete gibberish, but yet you fully understood every thing that was going on.
Little Lulu ftw!
Ugh, Street Sharks?
No, No. Silver Hawks?
No No…
Thundarr the barbarian..
I’ll have to go with Thundarr.
the elephant show! skidamarink, etc.
To me it was fraggle rock !!! Ho yeah!!!
60 minutes
Space Ghost Coast to Coast! Hands down.
Kalles klätterträd!(Charlie’s Climbing Tree it’s called in english) It’s a swedish show with awsome animations! Take a look!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u1isBBOGr8
eureka’s castle
THE JETSONS!! le-roy was my favorite!
hi
the best tv show for children is turn off television and go to have a walk, to look at people and invent stories
(children will have so much time, even too much, to look at tv when they are grown up)
ciao
Got to be Pee-wee’s Playhouse! Pee-wee is way too rad!Especially the ending credits of the show. I’ll forever remember him riding his red scooter and wearing his eyeball helmet. TOOO RAD!
count duckula por vida.
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego???!!!
Pete and Pete, best show ever. Artie the Stongest man in the world, pete’s tat petunia, and don’t forget Polaris and the theme song.
I was about to write that it was Dino Riders, but dinosaurs made me think. I remembered Denver: the last dinosaur. That’s way back in my childhood, I’m surprised I remembered the title
anyway, it was great as I recall!
oh there are many, but i guess transformers was the best!
Batman! the tv series with Adam West. Pow! Kapow! Zzzzap! Swiff!
it was a German show called “Sendung mit der Maus”
My favourite was a Belgian show called The Treehouse, and I also used to play Ocean Girl with my friends at school…
It is Dutch. Is is great. It is:
‘Theo & Thea’!!
Tom and Jerry!
FUN HOUSE!! Man alive, that made my childhood. Pat Sharp, the mullet, the twins, and the insaness that was the Fun House and the ridiclous amount of prizes you could win! Brilliant!
I still enjoy watching Kulderzipken. So lovely.
HE-MAN and the Masters of The Universe! Monday evenings on the nascent Indian TV industry of the 1980s rocked!
When I was very little I loved that big green monster that liked to eat clocks all the time… the big Muzzy!
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8ye3TtCcuk)
The I fell in love for Benji, from Captain Tsubasa (I think they called it like that in England) and then I falled for Goku (Drangon Ball)
TRAP DOOR!!! Loved that program when i was really little!! Still have some posters on my wall, and the DVD’s of the programs. I am never going to grow up, lol
Loved Dexters Laborotory!! How did Dee Dee always manage to get away with everything??
rémi sans famille,
a story of a poor ‘tsigane’, with sole family an old travelling man. that thing was soooooooo sad, my mum told me I was crying sometimes looking at it when I was 4.
TOP CAT! Not sure if it was just an english thing tho
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs6GX9W-Mc4
xo
growing up in italy, i used to watch japanese cartoons all the time, i loved astroboy, Mazinger Z, Steel Jeeg… and so on… I am still in love with robots
Johnny Bravo. Awesome. Rolemodel!
The Flumps
‘Once upon a time…’ The best cartoon ever. Ever.
My favorite tv show was THE SMURFS of course! I loved that Clumsy guy and I loathed the clever one with the glasses, in german his name was “Schlaubi”
Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears
Fireman Sam. I still watch it today and it brings back a sense of nostalgia. I’m so happy they haven’t recreated it or stopped playing it, it’s still as good as it was 20 years ago. I need to grow up.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…Hands down!
it sounds soso lovely to me!
I used to looove watching The Magic Roundabout, my granny had the episodes recorded + every time i went round to hers i sat down and watched it with one of her homemade biscuits – yummy! I cant choose my favourite character though, i think it depends what mood you are in:)
have a lovely day (fingers crossed!!!)

It was this one show from holland called Alfred Jodokus Quack. It was amazing.

GUMBY

Menace II Society
The Snorks.
Beavis and Butthead when my parents didn’t catch me.

WIZARDORA!
if you dont know what Wizardora is-you tube it (and shame on you) haha!
i want this so bad! x
i LOVED watching Daria
Most definitely Nightmare Ned! However I am starting to doubt my sanity because nearly every one i speak to about it has no idea what i am talking about. they recall the video game, but not the animated series it was based on. i SWEAR there was a series! I SWEAR! first animated disney series ever, i have to find it SOMEWHERE!
i don’t know if it’s totally belgian but this show was awesome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFq_zKYVNPc
alfred judokus kwak!
Id have to say Looney Tunes saturday morning :]
Alf! xx
Bobby’s World!
I’ve allways remain kid, and now I’m watching Spongebob Squirepants
The 80s had so many great tv shows for kids. But one that stuck out the most was ‘Bertha’
(http://www.thechestnut.com/bertha/bertha.htm)
Rhubarb and Custard, such a mad show and the voices were terrific!
Maya the bee! I was her for halloween.
http://static.rp-online.de/layout/showbilder/18059-Biene%20Maja%20wird%2030%202%20ddp%2006-07-09.jpg
Most definitely The Herbs, which was made in the 70s but they had quite a lot of re-runs in the 90s.
Loved the fact that each character had its own little theme tune ‘I’m a very friendly lion called Parsley…”

BLAST OFF! They’re off to Button Moon!
I loved this show as a kid and watched a whole bunch of the episodes on DVD recently. I hadn’t realised how crazy this program was! How I didn’t turn out all wonky I shall never know!

Widget the World Watcher. To this there is no arguement
Sesame Street (of course!) and I was so entertained with Bill Nye the Science Guy.
I have to say Danger Mouse was my all time favourite, still can’t help laughing at it today:

Mr. Wizard fer sure, followed by Captain Caveman for a close second.
Power Rangers. I can help it i´m a 90´s kid.
The Magic School Bus!
I think the TV show that most impressed me was Ernest, Le Vampire.
Jem and the Holograms!
I can recall numerous kids show, when I was young I grew up with SKY TV in the Netherlands. Jayce and the wheeled warriors freaked the hell out of me when younger, but tough as I was I kept watching it because the song of the intro was so cool and catchy (and very eighties, as I hear it back now!)

haha, I used to like this stuff so much, this series was launched in the mid 70’s but they used to broadcast it on the Polish tv decades later as well :

this is a skew-eared bear, a wise bloke who always knows best, but my favourite character from this cartoon was the rabbit, cause he was the dumb one who always used to get into trouble.
I loved the Moomins, always watched them when I was little. still love em now<3
This Belgian TV show called “Mik Mak Mon” was truly wonderful, one of my favorites back in the 80s

FELIX THE CAT!!! WOOAAHH
My favourite show was a small Canadian wonder, Mister Dressup.
Fraggle Rock!
fav. show has to be Wallace and Grommit, it’s pure genius..
Rugrats. No other children’s show compares!
Mr. Dressup!
I was always a G.I. Joe type of guy myself.
Angry Beavers.
my favorite was Danger Mouse!! still love it.
oh my god, someone else loved Danger Mouse too! That’s cuz it’s soooo great!
My favorite show growing up– I know it’s allegedly lame– was Arthur, on PBS. We didn’t have cable until I was older but my brother and I didn’t mind watching Arthur. He’d pretend to be Arthur and I’d be D.W. We knew the whole theme song by heart, and we could even quote along most of the episodes. I haven’t seen a show in years… Maybe I’ll youtube it now.
This is a thought one. I grew up in France. We had only 3 channels at that time. But some show were simply amazing.
Capitain Flam, Barbapapa, Ulysse 31, Il était une fois l’homme, etc.
I will choose “Il etait une fois l’homme”. It’s a show about the History of Mankind. The openning is still very good: it’s the evolution of man trough time with this classical music. It ends with the explosion of planet earth! Check it out here: http://tinyurl.com/crybyx
My two boys (5 & 7) love it.
I watched waaay too many shows growing up but I have to say, hands down, The Smurfs!
hmm for some reason when i was little i used to really be into captain planet.
)
the jetson’s!!!
Flintstones rock. No pun intended.
NNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAA
TTTTTTUUUUUUURRRRTTTTTTTTTLLLEEEEESSSS “COWABUNGA!”
I really loved Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. I loved his special guests and the train that went through the tunnel in his wall to another world. I also loved when he went places, like the Crayola factory – one of my most vivid childhood memories is of that episode. I can still picture all the colors of the crayons being sorted into boxes and I can hear the simple soundtrack of him playing the piano and narrating. I have always loved drawing, and I still love drawing, so that one really stuck with me. I’ll have to find my set of crayons, because I know they’re somewhere…
Rugrats was definitely my favorite.
Batfink!! He bleeping rocked! & so does your Magazine – I have 2 boys who ♥ Anorak!
BOZO the clown! and DOUBLE DARE. *crush on mark summers.
Adventures of Pete and Pete!
Johnny Bravo! ha, and that bag is really adorable. Awesome colors!
My favorite show was Eureka’s Castle! It was puppets doing magic and crazy things but they also used illustration throughout the show! Eureka was a witch and she taught you all sorts of lessons, a giant looked over them all the time because it was actually his castle music box. There was this like… ogre sort of thing that lived in the dungeon and his best friends were these crazy bright worms that would dance and form shapes and numbers to teach you. They always sang songs and all that good stuff too. The show always ended with Eureka ringing a dinner bell for a picnic too which I loved. It was spectacular! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpnZPM99JSM
Magic Schoolbus hands down.
My favorite television show growing up would be “you can’t do that on television”
Thanks!
G.I. Joe. “Knowing was half the battle”
Fraggle Rock

THE COSBY SHOW!!!
So many brilliant kid’s television shows from the 70’s & 80’s…
I was most excited to watch ‘Captain Kangaroo’. The entire show was fabulous…the music, the sets, the jokes, Mr Green Jeans, Grandfather Clock, Mr Moose, Bunny Rabbit and the ping pong balls, Mortimer Ichabod Marker!
And PICTURE PAGES, the very best segment on the show!…I vividly remember the song…’picture pages, picture pages, time to get your picture pages. time to get your crayons and your pencils. picture pages, picture pages, open up your picture pages, time to watch Bill Cosby do a picture page with you!’ Bill Cosby! Need I say more?
My fave was “YOU CAN’T DO THAT ON TELEVISION”.
BOBBY’S WORLD!
Howdy Doody was spectacular.
Ren and Stimpy, no doubt
Sesame street! the best.
Dance your cares away,
Worry’s for another day.
Let the music play,
DOWN AT FRAGGLE ROCK!
The UK show Aquila. Oh. My. God.
Definitely Mr. Dressup.
Magic School Bus, by far.
I didn’t realize how much I learned from that show until I got to high school science class. Thanks Ms. Frizzle!
Supergranny!
Really loved the 60`s Batman-Series
Cash, Bang, booooooom!

My fav shows was “Dawie die Kabouter”, and “Heidi”. Both German cartoons dubbed in Afrikaans.
I just recently found a “David the Gnome” aka “Dawie die Kabouter” tape, and I don’t like his american voice at all. lol 
MISTER ROGERS’ NEIGHBORHOOD. I love The Land of Make Believe. I live there now.
‘i dream of jeannie’
T H E S N O R K E L S ! ! amazing adventures, original characters, super colors
I really enjoyed Lambchop’s Play Along, the intro had an awesome song. RIP.
Captain Caveman, without a doubt.
Like a primal call to arms, this show had the neighborhood boys and girls shouting out his name in the appropriate drawn out fashion.
This was fun, reminiscing. Thanks.
oh rugrats, i still miss you…
Arthur was and is an awesome show!
care bears <3
You Can’t Do That On Television!!!
hey arnold!
Fraggle Rock !! ^__^
Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes! I didn’t even know english, just watched it and laughed
I loved especially simple animations, like “Now Hear This” (1962) – pure abstraction, leaves the kid very impressed.
Definitely the British sitcom Fawlty Towers. Not the best kids show but I loved the accents!
Tin Tin, Lucky Luke, Asterix… and Sesame Street.
Speed Racerrrrr
—– The Elephant Show — (I got to say I was in love with this show when I was 2 yrs old around 1988 when this show apparently had its end, I think I caught the re-runs mostly. GO Canadian Television! haha!)
