I went shopping for a few extra Crimbo pressies for my son, and came across some fantastic kids tv shows re-mastered on DVD.
I just had to get them as they are not shown on TV anymore and I haven't seen them on satalite either.
1. Charlton and the Wheelies.
2. The flumps
3. Camberwick green (the one with Windy Miller)
4. Jamie and the Magic Torch.
Do you remember them.
Any other nominations??

heman, the moomins, and do you remember twit twoo?(or something like that) about three birds that could multiply into thousands for some reason.Pigeon street (funky music)
*MoG*
Dec 16 2003, 01:50 PM
I don't remember twit twoo, the only thing I know that can multiply into thousands are the Gremlins...
The Moomins, where they the ones that lived on the moon, but never spoke, and were chased by a dragon? I may be a bit confused, my childhood days were a long, long time ago.

There was a show called "fraggle Rock" here.
Dow u think it was the same show?
Moonfairie
Dec 16 2003, 04:36 PM
We also had the Fraggle Rock show. In Switzerland (the french part), we use to watch Récré A2 (it was retransmission with all sorts of cartoon) then it became Club Dorothé (she was the one who host the show) and Les Babibouchettes. I was fan of Les mystérieuses cités d'or, Belle et Sébatien, Les Fraggle Rock, Toffsy, les Barbapapa, Les mondes engloutis, Les chevaliers du zodiaque, Zora la rousse, Casimir, les Bisounours, Cat's Eyes, Capitaine Caverne, Bouba, Clémentine, Chapi-Chapo, Candy, Maya l'abeille, Capitaine Flam, Les Cosmos Cats, Cobra, Calimero, Goldorak, Les Maitres de l'univers, Scoubidou, Heidi (of Course), Jayce et les conquerants de la lumiere, Inspecteur Gadget, Lady Oscar, Ken le Survivant, le manège enchante...
I think it's a shame that now nearly all the cartoons come from Japan and that they are all violent.

Well theres still some non-violent cartoons out there like spongebob square pants and the legendary freak show that was catdog.

Does anyone remember that show with Jim Nabors (aka Gomer Pyle) where he was in space and shot lasers from his elbows? I used to watch it on PBS.
There was another show I used to watch about a hotel, and they were always sculpting faces on a big lump of clay. Shut up....I know it sounds stupid, but thats all I can remember. I'll give someone a dollar if they can remember the name of that damn show.

I think that shows like Dora The adventurer (which is dora the explorer in AU) insults childrens intelligence. In my opinion, Educational kids shows are not really educational. My nephew loved to watch blues clues, but he was not learning anything. As odd as I may seem, i think you should not teach kids by showing them a bunch of bright colors and cute characters
