Obviously The Simpsons is there for me. There are so many more, anyone remember Button Moon?

The BBC version of Narnia was very good, a million times better than the film in my opinion!

The Thomas The Tank Engine episodes voice by Ringo Starr were brilliant as well!

When I was a child I loved watching Button Moon, Bagpuss, Clangers, Thomas The Tank Engine, Dogtanian And The Three Muskerhounds plus many more of the old time childrens t.v. programmes

haha I've got to get Button Moon on dvd. Me and my mate, when we'd had a few drinks too many, always used to do impressions of Bob Dylan doing a cover of the theme tune... "we're off to button mooooooon, to follow Mr. Spooooooon... Button mooooon...." haha that would be hilarious!

I was into My Little Pony, Care Bears and that when I was a small child. I was fascinated by Pob when I was in nursery.

Then Simpsons came along, I loved that. Children's Hospital for a bit of drama and the Queens Nose.

The Wombles, Metal Mickey, Rentaghost, Grange Hill, The Six Million Dollar Man, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk, Doctor Who, Sapphire and Steel... loads, and loads. I used to stay up late when I was about 12 or so to watch The Hammer House of Horror series (The House That Bled to Death etc.) Recently bought the DVD box set.

The Wonder Years, anyone seen the parody of it in The Simpsons. Bart wanted the first issue of Radioactive Man and Homer suggested he get a job, cue the voiceover of that bloke from The Wonder Years "Get a job, me get a job. None of us said but we both knew we were changing." Can't remember exactly what he said but it was hilarious.

Anyone remember that programme where four kids would always talk to some weird creature that appeared out of sand, very weird!

I didn't watch much tv, I grew up with books, and inventing my own toys. But, I loved The Animals of Farthing Wood, Thomas the Tank Engine and watching the Looney Tunes. I still love them too.

Thunderbirds was F.A.B. I loved the sci-fi imagination of the machinery, most of which would never leave the ground.

I remember Thomas the Tank Engine, Bagpuss, and Wallace and Gromit.

Yet, Im still into Children's television programs so at the moment I really like In The Night Garden. That's a very special program.

Yeah... I loved that show. My mother called me crazy but I watched it anyway because the boys were totally cool :boxer:

Tom and Jerry were the only ones I remember.

Embarrassingly, now I have children of my own, I adore watching Doodlebops, I 'push' my children to watch it, purely because I love them and have no regards at all whatsoever about their own taste! LMAO!!

My boyfriend used to be obsessed with the Doodlebops, he was 22 years old and he loved it so much, he had a backpack with their faces on it, and he sent them an e-mail.

I love Round the Twist, a lot. And Ghost Writer, and Captain Planet.
Has anyone ever seen a Canadian movie called the Peanut Butter solution? I bought a VHS of it for 35 dollars and it was totally worth every dollar.
