What did you watch on tv as a kid?

[x hannah x]

English television in the 90's had somevery interesting programs. Every day after school I watchedthe CBBC channel with such classics as "Bodger and badger" A guy and his badger roommate who loved mashed potatoes, and "My parents are aliens" which speaks for itself. Saturday mornings were dedicated to the teletubbies which made me happy and now disturb me. What about everyone else?

He man and she ra...Fraggle rock, mighty mouse, G.I Joe, Care bears, mr dress-up, Strawberry shortcake, smurfs...oh ya!

[metallikat87]

who remembers TGIF on ABC? Family Matters, Step by Step, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World? omg those were the best.


Lets see...I also loved Rugrats, All That, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Weinerville, Ren and Stimpy, The Mickey Mouse Club, Care Bears, Smurfs, Flintstones, I could go on and on with all the shows! lol


My cousins and I also had a strange obsession with the teletubbies, even though we were 11 when the show started airing here! My cousin Kristin and I both LOVED Laa-Laa. My sister nearly idolized Po. It was almost creepy lol

[mitch04133]

I had an obession with Bananas in Pajama's when I was in high school. Why were there banana's wearing pajamas? I even saw them live!!

[cardinalgirl]

Yes i do remember TGIF. Sometimes they still call it that on ABC but the shows arnt half as good as the orginal. i forgot about the dinosaurs.

[sherbear]

How could I forget Jem? I actually still have a Jem doll packed away somewhere!


And Stormchaser, I'm so with you on the 5AM Saved By The Bell watching! If I'm up around that time, I always change the channel to TBS!

[stormchaser97]

heh thanks sherbear, my best bud is hinting a boxed set of Saved by the Bell might wind up in my stocking this year. lol.[img]smileys/smilies_43.gif[/img]

tcsarah: when you say moomins do you mean moomins as in thebook moomin summer madness?because i LOVE that book (well at least I did back when I was in the 5th grade...I haven't read it since)and I know there are others butI haven't read them. if you are talking about the same thing, i had no idea there used to be a tv show! oh boy, now i'm all excited and i think i will read a moomin book even if they are for kids!

[glitta_fairy]

I don't know if you guys would know of it- but my favorite was a show called Romper-room. The woman who hosted it used to say that she could see all the little boys and girls that were watching through their tvs, and she'd say about 10 names of the people she could 'see' lol. I always wanted her to say my name, but she never did [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]


And there was a bee on it called Mr. Doo-bee,theymust have been stoned when they thought of that lol

I think they may be the same. The Moomins I'm talking about looked like hippopotamuses. I think they made a cartoon version of the moomins and there is also a German puppet version. Here is a moomin:
