Your favourite kids TV shows (with references)

Post by buddhu »

Prompted by part of the "Who Do You Say That I Am?" thread in the rubber room...

Perrins57 posted a link to the following site:
http://www.skooldays.com/Television/c-nostalgia.htm

One of my favourite shows when I was a kid was Catweasel. It was silly, but I loved it.
http://propaganda.com.au/catweazle/about.shtml

It was about an incompetent sorceror who accidentally magicked himself from Norman Britain to England in the 1970s (the time of the show's production).


What were your favourite kids TV shows? Please include links to some info about your choices.

My favorite was always Captain Kangaroo.

When my kids were little I liked The Elephant Show and Fred Penner's Place.

My current favorite is Spongebob Squarepants. I watch it even if my grandkids aren't around on the rare times I watch TV.

I don't know if it's on anymore, but when my daughter was young, we all LOVED "The Puzzle Place." "Arthur," "Bill Nye the Science Guy" and, of course, "Sesame Street" were all hits with the whole family as well.

When I was little, Captain Kangaroo and Romper Room were the only real games in town, but I loved both of them.

And, of course, who can forget "Schoolhouse Rock"? It wasn't actually a show...rather "shorts" between Saturday morning cartoons...but I loved it, and when Jo was little, she also fell in love with it, thanks to CDs and videos. I still sing the Preamble to the Constitution!

Alf had an animated Saturday morning show for a while in the '90's. Some of the humor was pretty bizarre, but good.

Rocko was cool. Angry Beavers was good too.

Classics. Plus the bass playing in the theme to the Jetsons is awsome.
