What are you watching on TV? Page 116

I remember...none of those!

Well you are only wee!

I know of Thundercats, and Defenders of the Earth, but only since programmes about old kids' shows. I'm surprised I know of so few though, because my dad used to get us to watch Clangers, Moomins, Mr Benn and such when my brother and I were small.

It's not really TV. I'm having one of those nostalgia attacks and watching all the intros/theme songs on youtube of all the 80s TV shows I used to watch.

Dogtanian (?)And The Muskerhounds-best intro song ever? That and Round The Twist. (SINGS) "Have you ever, ever felt like this? When strange things happen; are you going round the twist?"

Mr Benn \o/

Mr Benn is amazing-but what was going on between him and the guy who owned the costume shop for Mr Benn to go there every day?

I loved Round the Twist! And Dogtanian!

Why do I remember that as Round the Bend? Or am I thinking of something else?
Palace Hill with Nick Nuckles was good too, but that was a bit later for me.

@zooo,

Do you feel sad remembering your childhood yet? It always makes me feel sad :( Not because it was a bad childhood, but nostalgia just does that to me.

Yep. I had an excellent childhood, but it does make me feel melancholy thinking about it.

I reckon that's a reason people have kids, so they can recreate it without feeling sad.

Ah technically I have 2 more years until mine runs out-though school has beaten all childishness out of me...until we make human pyramids on the field!

I just watched Dogtanian too!
And the Cities of Gold, and Gummi Bears.

Cartoons really don't have such good theme tunes now.

I can't remember who had a go about this before, but I loved Magic School Bus!

Actually, scratch what I said-This is the best intro music ever!!! Go Ulysses! What a cartoon that was!
