Title: Favourite TV Show as a child?
Post by: Wolstenholme on September 02, 2013, 19:57
I was surprised that there wasn't already a topic for this as it seems to come up in my conversations a lot!

So... yeah. Discuss your favourite kids TV shows if you want to...

As for me, I don't think I have much choice but to make a big long list of everything I used to love...

Raven (Not 'That's So Raven' - Raven as in the Scottish guy who dresses up like a Raven and then loads of kids have to complete loads of challenges or face The Way of the Warrior and the whole series ultimately ends with The Last Stand and one of the contestants eventually weilding 'The Staff of Power')
Tracy Beaker
Horrible Histories
W.I.T.C.H (I'm not proud)
Art Attack
SMart
Basil Brush (&Swap Shop)
TMI (and all the mini-shows especially The Secret Show)
Even Stevens
My Parent Are Aliens
The Slammer (It totally did not get me into Keith Harris & Orville)

Any of those cheesy game shows that test Agility, strength, and smarts of a contestant (Wipeout, Nick's Legends of the Hidden Temple, etc)

I used to really enjoy Inspector Gadget XD

But I don't remember much more from a few years back XD

Oh man.. I remember Inspector Gadget! I believe it's on either LoveFilm or Netflix, I watched some of it recently, along with Where's Wally, and the Super Mario Bros. Show


I need to stop having nostalgia trips, I feel like they're taking over my life!

Inspector Gadget and Super Mario Bros. Show. I can't believe I forgot these! Gotta love netflix. Also, I got a SMBS dvd for about $5. Lucky find.

Yeah my mate had a Super Mario World one, we still sing the theme tune pretty much every time we meet up.

Dinosaurs is another one... "Not the mama!"

Haven't heard of that one. Apparently, the Legend of Zelda had its own cartoon. From the snippets that I saw in SMBS, it looked pretty good, my dad used to watch both when he was younger.

Well excuse me, Princess!

Dinosaurs is always relevant. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNR4hKbSH7I)

Over here in America (I can speak for you english and others), when I was like 6, they were showing this themed game show with all kinds of different challenges. Legends on the Hidden Temple, god I loved that show. They still show it, on a channel I don't have...

We had a few of those. As a kid I used to watch Crystal Maze, Takeshi's Castle and Fort Boyard.

Depending on how I felt it was always Crystal Maze or Takeshi's Castle though. My brother was the Fort Boyard fan. Although I did like the tigers.

I think in terms of favourites I was definitely more of a cartoon fan. Of the ones I've listed, I watched about three of them religiously, alongside Saved by the Bell, because I could force mother to watch that too. If I had to narrow it down to three, it would probably be Dinosaurs, Earthworm Jim and Freakazoid.

I don't remember many of them, but Fort Boyard is actually showing over in America, once again on a channel I don't get. I like Inspector Gadget mainly because my brother sing the theme song and it drives my mom crazy.

Oh they were fun times. Until it was shown at what, 1AM in the morning? It used to be on at 4PM too, so I raced home to watch it.

I remember when Jetix was a channel...I recall watching something called Galactic Football, which was actually quite good. That, and it was Pokemon after followed by something else...Magi-nation? I got to watch that a few times, and I enjoyed that.

Power Rangers was my first full obsession from ages 3-6. God, I loved that show. I think the theme song might've had something to do with it. Then it was whatever was playing on Cartoon Network until Pokemon came around, then that was my full obsession until the Hoenn series where I lost interest in the anime. Aaand by that time I wasn't really a child anymore (well... mentally I was, but still).

Haven't heard of that one. Apparently, the Legend of Zelda had its own cartoon. From the snippets that I saw in SMBS, it looked pretty good, my dad used to watch both when he was younger.

I have 3 episodes on VHS. There's a reason this didn't get like... more than 9 or so episodes before it was cancelled.
