Well, here goes: my first attempt at my own thread! yay me!

Sadgeezer asking about that long remembered show got me to thinking about the numerous tv shows I watched in my child hood, and how I have often thought about the apparent lack of quality in children's shows today. So I wondered to myself, which shows would be in the highly coverted position of 'best kid's tv shows you ever watched'?

my list was pathetically long:

samuri pizza cats - I mean, who could go past cats who not only ran a pizza shop, but saved the world when off duty?

teenage mutant ninja turtles - sadly i had a kind of crush on Donatello
though the very poor movies are not included in this, only the cartoons themselves.

anamaniacs - so much better than Loony Tunes, I even got excited when I finally realised the play on words both those titles are. lol, poor kids don't know what they're missing out on before their vocabulary grows.

the simpsons - of course. I was still a child when this classic first came out. in fact i remember the night it first graced our screen.
Bart: "kwidgibo (spelling?) - short, fat, balding north american ape...with no chin. "
Homer: "why you little..."
Bart: "aggghhhh"

I can't remember what the name of the show is, but they had these mechanical dinosaur things... one was a sabre-tooth tiger or were they all tigers? and they just came out of different areas? like water, or lava?
yeah, i think thats it... ohh, is it voltron?

and then there was the show that I mentioned in SadGeezer's thread - the lost city, or the city of Gold or something along those lines.
I remember my brothers and I would race home in the dismal Melbourne rain and we'd raid the kitchen coz mum was at work. we'd get our hot milo and our snack which was guaranteed to get us in trouble because we wouldnt be able to eat dinner, and we'd go and plant ourselves in front of the tv for this half hour show. every day we'd do this, without fail.

It's actually a lot of fun to remember this stuff. :wink:
