Anyone notice Geoffry from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air in Eastenders the other day? That program was ace.

[Kelly]

Was too old for that really.

Me too. :oops:

[Lucinda]

Bananas in Pajamas are coming down the stairs.

Bananas in Pajamas are coming down in pairs...

That was in my head earlier for some reason :-?

[sebdevlin]

I know they have been mentioned before but just for having a great theme song a and also an unhealthy obsession with mashed potato

A mention also has to go to the chuckle brothers but can't be bothered to put a pic of them up

[Geezer7348]

I think my all time favourite kids tv proggie when I was younger would be the following....

and finally....

[Jono]

I vaguely remember Pigeon Street, seeing it somewhere. I didn't watch it obviously.

Knightmare - Best thing to come off of Anglia TV in Norwich

[Lucinda]

I was more of a Grange Hill fan than Byker Grove, although I used to watch both.

[Kelly]

Bodger and Badger! I still love that show...:oops:

[demonhorse]

Ghostbusters (probably watched the film even more than the cartoon).

[Kelly]

Ren and Stimpy! :woo:

[Andy B]

Ulysees 31? Now THAT was weirdness

Oh I forgot that, used to watch that too as a kid, got it on DVD now as well.

"It is the thirty first century, Ulysees killed the giant cyclops...."

and Pole position, centurions, defenders of the earth.

[DC]

Trumpton

ah, that reminds me of the oldskool record by urban hype. "trip to trumpton"

[sebdevlin]

ah, that reminds me of the oldskool record by urban hype. "trip to trumpton"

That was a truly awful record

[DC]

That was a truly awful record

the other version that was never commercial without the 'hew, pew' etc... in was a lot better, they still play that on the underground scene.

there are many truly crap records, one includes the kaiser cheifs 'oh my god'. i am thinking of starting a wikipedia article on crap records.

[Jono]

So what do you think about the Kids TV Bafta nominations... as Newsbeat asks, do they really compare with old school stuff?

[Mafro]

The Pokemon cartoon was fantastic.

[Kelly]

I dunno. Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents are quite cool. Although Hey Arnold and CatDog were very good too, for their time.

[DC]

ahh! you are reminding me of my days off from school now when i was ill and when i was 'ill'. i have a marathon of episodes of hey arnold still on tape somewhere that i left recording off of nick when i was at school one day a few years ago. i found it out a few months ago. still has the old adverts and everything becuase i wasn't there to edit them out, was around christmas time it were taped.

sheep in the big city was a fave of mine when it was out, and so was home movies. both never got that big but i think home movies still gets shown on adult swim, which i think is on bravo.

[Mafro]

CatDog had a great theme tune, as did Earthworm Jim.

[Barney]

Old school stuff beats all these rubbishy new programmes. obv biased due to actually watching all these stuff and for some reason not liking cartoons now ive grown older... but still. old school wins out!

i watched the disney film "Sleeping Beauty" the other day with my two little cousins. and loved it! disney films are still out and great. my proof i just have an urge to watch loads of disney films... i want to steal Pocohantis (spelling) from my little cousins. i wasnt amused when i heard my mum stole all my videos and leant them to my cousins because they are about 6 and 8 ish.

[Mafro]

The Grim Adventures of Bill and Mandy is great, it's on Cartoon Network. The funniest thing about it is that, for no apparent reason, the Grim Reaper has a Jamaican accent.

[Kelly]

Ooh, Grim Adventures! That's brilliant. I like Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends too! Cheese was a work of genius!
