What tv shows did you like as very young child? Under age 5.

[marly]

I loved 'Noddy and the magic roundabout' and 'Bill and Ben the flower pot men'. I also loved 'sesame street' and 'Tom and Jerry'.

[Ruffnut]

Shit I can't remember that far back Marly.......

[Light-Bearer]

You will think I am mad- but i use to like watching the static and was convinced it was a show about ants. It wasn't until my brother told me that it wasnt a show at all that I began to feel foolish.
Other than that- Sigmund the Sea Monster, HR Puff n Stuff, The Hall of Justice and Rocky and Bullwinkle. :)

[weathervain]

I used to watch V - I fucking loved it

other than that Astro boy, Knight Rider and the Incredible Hulk.

[Light-Bearer]

V rocked and apparently they are re making it. Cant wait.

[Ruffnut]

Bring back Rocky & Bullwinkle..........yeah!!!!

[mjm078]

Humphrey B Bear, Fat Cat and Romper Room......

Apparently I was inconsolable one time when Humphrey moved house thinking I will never see him again.....

and I won a smiling competition when Humphrey once performed out the front of the opera house......i love that big brown bear!

[Ruffnut]

i love that big brown bear!

Say no more :P

[camiseta]

Don't remember but Mamma Camiseta tells me I was a fiend for Bill and Ben Flower Pot men.

This is the wiki description of it.....

The programme always took place in a garden, behind a potting shed. There was a Little Weed, of indeterminate species, somewhat resembling a sunflower or dandelion with a smiling face between two large flowerpots. While the "man who worked in the garden" was away having his dinner, the two Flower Pot Men, Bill and Ben, emerged from the two flowerpots. After a minor adventure a minor mishap occurs; someone is guilty. "Which of those two flower pot men, was it Bill or was it Ben?" the narrator trills, in a quavering soprano; the villain confesses; the gardener's footsteps are heard coming up the garden path; the Flower Pot Men vanish into their pots and the closing credits roll. The final punch-line was, "and I think the little house knew something about it! Don't You?".

Is it any wonder I turned out a poof? ;)

Yeah I watched all three of those but always loved sesame st more. Sesame st was the cool show and needless to say I still love the abc.

[weathervain]

V rocked and apparently they are re making it. Cant wait.

Cool I was explaining it to the Greencard wife the other day because she has a forked hangy glob tonsil thing at the back of her throat like a snakes tongue.

I said "OOOh V, now you gonna go swallow live mice?" and she got really confused, desperately trying to track it down on DVD now to show her before she gets back. She studies Herpatology so I know she will love it too.

[genkij]

sticks and mud ...wasn't on telly but geeeez I loved it !

[camiseta]

Yeah I watched all three of those but always loved sesame st more. Sesame st was the cool show and needless to say I still love the abc.

And what good role models Bert and Ernie were.

[camiseta]

But a beautiful poof none the less. :)

Blushing now. Thanks

[marly]

And what good role models Bert and Ernie were.

Exactly. It was outrageous back then (although noone even blinked twice). A couple of single men(well puppets anyway) shacked up together like that.:D

[weathervain]

And what good role models Bert and Ernie were.

What about Superted, that show covered all the gay stereotypes.

Oh and the smurfs

[Zakalwe]

Play School. Sesame Street. Harry Butler: In The Wild.

[Light-Bearer]

Also - Bewitched, Jeannie, 8 is Enough- Who the fuck remembers that show. LOL, and Happy Days of course. Richie was a ginger.

[marly]

Yes I loooooooved 8 is enough.:) Used to look forward to saturday nights to watch that one. But I would have been about 8 or 9 by that stage I think. I loved the older brother in his lumberjack shirts. What a hunk he was.

[synergism]

The earliest kid's show I can remember watch would have to be Sooty.

Ahh the memories....

[marly]

The earliest kid's show I can remember watch would have to be Sooty.

and willie aames was in it who was later the dude in Charles In Charge with Scott Baio.

[weathervain]

Oh I watched the best "Say no to drugs" movie with Scott Baio in it once, they aired it at Glenworth Valley in 98

It was simply titled "Stoned" but I've never been able to track it down

[Light-Bearer]

i love those films. Have you ever seen the one called "Dawn- Potrait of a Teenage Runaway"- so shit but so great too.

[Chancethegardener]

I like Thunder Cats, He-Man, and the Thunderbirds. My mum tells me that I also loved watching a 'learning Japanese' show that used to be SBS when I was 3, but I don't remember.

I remember that japanese learning show- it was nuts. We would eat magic mushrooms and then point at the tv the entire time it was on.

[Ruffnut]

How about Mr Peabody & Sherman?

[marly]

How about Mr Peabody & Sherman?

yeah liked that one too:)

[Light-Bearer]

yeah liked that one too:)

but peabody and sherman as well as fractured Fairy tales were all part of the rocky and bullwinkle show. That entire show rocked hard. Mr Peabody seemed a bit of a Pedo though.

Oh really lol , its all a blur:D

[Ruffnut]

Anybody see Lancelot Link the Secret Chimp. Actors were all chimps dressed up - so funny to see as a kid. Especially when Chimps acted up and they left in the show.

[Ruffnut]

Luved all the Looney Tunes cartoons, Thunderbirds, The Archies (another ranga), The Go Go Gophers, Magilla Gorilla, Tennesse Tuxedo, Casper & Wendy, The Jetsons.

Definately a big cartoon fan here.

Also luved Our Gang.

[Light-Bearer]

How about Battle of the Planets. It was on the ABC and it was about those orphans who wore bird costumes and did what ever the underwater robbot with the flying dog told them to do.

[marly]

Sigmund the sea monster, anyone remember that. It wasnt a cartoon, was real actors. He was a walking pile of seaweed with one pointy tooth. There were two surfy boys that found him and they keep him a secret.

[Light-Bearer]

i mentioned that one- that one was my favourite one. I loved the song .
it was so fucking flipped out.

[genkij]

Lassie & THE GOODIES (now I love to watch after a smoke !!)

[caedus]

i loved hercules, xena the warrior princess, captain planet...

[dreadcircus]

Cartoons like Batman, Spiderman, Hulk, Wonderwoman etc

Was an avid fan of romper room. I'm pretty sure I wanted to get with Ms Helena. I remember having a massive crush around 5/6 for daisy duke from the dukes of hazzard.. damn cut off shorts yummy!

I used to adore the bat man TV series also.. I watched the old black n white one and the color camp version.

Humphrey was cool also. I recall having a humphrey stuffed chair.. boy did that thing get wrapped around my sisters head during play LOL

I used to love the morning music clips in between shows. I was a massive KISS fan from a very very young age and every morning would pray for the KISS filmclip to "Shandy" to come on where they are all in suits in make up at they end. Loved it.

Dr Who and the goodies were watched alot also as a wee one.

Ahh the memories.. I can actually remember quite vividly this part of my life as it was around 5 or 6 I began to believe I was really a female. So much of the stuff that went on in my life then is very clear. After that from around 7 - 12 things are a blur as I was deffo not happy. Sounds like much of my 20's LOL

[mjm078]

lets all not forget Fraggle Rock either........

My brothers and I use to love watching Cartoon Connection on Channel 7 as we got ready for school with my mum constantly yelling at us to get dressed but we could not talk our eyes off that damn TV........Mum even use to deliver our clothes to the lounge room so we didn't have to leave the room....

I loved was an avid He Man and The Flintstones watcher on Cartoon Connection......

[weathervain]

i mentioned that one- that one was my favourite one. I loved the song .
it was so fucking flipped out.

I have a cover of the theme song on my best of Saturday Morning Cartoons Album, best cover Album since "I wish I were a carpenter"


And to continue with this thread I was fucking obsessed with Grape Ape when I was little.

Always pissed me off that he wasn't at Wonderland, probably the reason I used to attack most of the costumed characters, especially the flintstones fuck I hated that show!

[Ruffnut]

My brothers and I use to love watching Cartoon Connection on Channel 7 as we got ready for school ....

So luved the antics of Agro on cartoon connection. Could be a dirty little bugger at times.

[hazyinseptember]

I was petrified of Humphrey! I went to Wonderland when I was little and he was there doin some big show and I got pulled up on stage and I just ran away screaming/ Still haunts me to this day!

[sTaRiA]

And my earliest childhood memory involves the theme song from The Goodies' playing in the back ground

[sammiejo]

I dream of Jeanie, Bewtiched (where I got my name from!), Magic Mountain, Noddy, The Muppets, The Smurfs, Bill & Ben, Sooty - loved Sooty (still do :P), The Goodies, Man of the House, the list could go on, so many good ones...

[eleven 11]

Yes I loooooooved 8 is enough.:) Used to look forward to saturday nights to watch that one. But I would have been about 8 or 9 by that stage I think. I loved the older brother in his lumberjack shirts. What a hunk he was.
His name was David, what a hotty. I think I can still remember their names: Mary, Joanie, Susan, Tommy, Nancy ( the hot blonde,my favourite), Elizabeth, Nicholas. And Abby, the step mom. I loved that family, I thought it was real.

[honey-prawns]

was obsessed with the muppets, romper room, super ted, to name a few

[Light-Bearer]

I would cut the bottom out of a card board box and draw dials and shit on it- to make it look like a tv. Then I would take this box and put it at the foot of my parents bed and watch them have sex. I don't know if this was my "favourite"show, but all the other kids in the neighbourhood thought it was rad.

[sneakos]

[faeriegoddess]

holy old thread batman!

did I ever mention I was on the Humphrey B. Bear show when I was a tike? I remember going to kindy the next day and telling all the other kids that I'd been to Humphrey's house and that his house wasn't really real, and half of it opened up into a big factory with lots of men and cameras and wires and stuff. but not one believed me and I was branded a fibber and bullied for the rest of kindy.

[bellsforher]

apparently I was rather fond of the Kenny Everet show as a toddler, and would strip off when the showgirls came on. I do NOT remember this.

I was into Mr Squiggle, Play School, Sesame St, The Muppet Show, Dr Who (when I could sneak in to watch it - it gave me nightmares)

[nickdisco]

My god son watches this and can I say it teaches valuable lessons such as 'Dont bite your friends' and I would like to bone the black guy.

What TV shows did you like as a very young child? Under age 5.

TV wasn't around then :( [I hate this thread now]

[christianbaines82]

On this topic, am I the only one disturbed by the fact that the arch villain from Captain Planet looks to be based on Terri Nunn from the 80's band Berlin?

I mean, what were they trying to say, exactly?

[Phazz]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-YcBVEnLT8

Sesame Street

[faeriegoddess]

omg phazz, i LOVE that clip. I sing that all the time.

[Phazz]

It's pretty cool. I never realised it was The Pointer Sisters until someone posted it on facebook this morning.

[TheOldie]

I feel left out.

There was not TV in the country when I was under 5 :(

[Lomas]

you can't do that on TV, Worzle Gummage (the s scarecrow), Super Ted, Art attack. I miss old school kids shows:(

[faeriegoddess]

sorry oldie, I shouldn't laugh.
LOL

I wonder what my kid is gonna say - she's nearly 8 and has never had a TV.
(she does have her own laptop and wifi though, so it's not like she's locked up in a cellar or something... she's still only halfway through digging a cellar)

[Tosca]

OMG.
art attack was so cool.
i think i like watching the news.
:/ i was a strange child

[TheOldie]

sorry oldie, I shouldn't laugh.

Yep we had breakfast and then out we went. We played around the creek or at the park or rode our bikes over to a friends place. Sometimes came back for lunch otherwise we had to be home before dark.

We played all our games outside.

I cant remember when we got TV . We were one of the first on our block with a TV
and with the phone !!!!!!!!!!! but probably about mid 60's.

I remember that puppet with a pencil for a nose on ABC. Loved The Samurai and for cartoons we had the Disney show every Sunday night. Had to be mid 60's as we
watched Skippy back then. Kimba the White Lion had us enthralled and I would try to stay up late and watch The Outer Limits but usually fell asleep.

[nickdisco]

Dr Who and the goodies were watched alot also as a wee one.

Which one?
