Shows that you remember but no one else does!

The Magic Boomerang

A 60s kids show where the hero throws his boomerang in the air when he sees trouble. The world stands still - except for him - and he disarms potential bank robbers and does good things to bad people. As the boomerang lands back in his hand, the world returns to normal and bank robbers are trying to rob banks with pointed fingers :-)

If it was remade today I would suspect he would be behind the counter and heading off to the hills with all the money before the boomerang lands ...

Degrassi Junior High!

It was ace.

And erm... Teenage Health Freak.

Oh yeah I liked Degrassi Junior High, and the kids from Degrassi street.
Which reminds me of the Red Hand Gang for some reason.

One show I remember very vaguely was Roberts Robots.

I remember THF, it was sort of Adrain Mole-y. I seem to remember trading someone a video recording of it for a tape of WWF, I was very young. :$ Cool

Yay!

Yes it was very Adrian Mole. Was funny.

Woo!
Wish I could get it on DVD.
Then I could probably post it in the 'not as good as you remember' thread too.

I liked that cartoon with the anteater.

How about the Riff-raff element?
