So...i'm feeling a little nostalgic and i've been searching youtube for themes etc. for the shows I used to watch when i was younger - and I feel soooo old!
I didn't realise until now just how much television I used to watch! Looking at them now I wanna be a kid again and be able to watch the episodes. I feel so sorry for children nowadays because I don't consider the present programmes to be anywhere near as good as those I watched, so they're missing out!
Here's a list of some of the programmes I watched "back in the day":
Cartoons/animated:
Alivin & The Chipmunks
Animals of Farthing Wood
Rupert the Bear
Noah's Island
The Raccoons
Funnybones
Count Duckula
Raggydolls
Rocko's Modern Life
Hey Arnold!
Recess (I know this is still on)
Astro Farm
Pocket Dragons
Sesame Street
Sooty & Sweep
Ripley and Scuff
Thomas the Tank Engine
Superted
Sharkey & George
Zzzap
Playdays
Wizardora
Rosie & Jim
Fireman Sam
Penny Crayon
Tots Tv
The Trap Door
Dinosaurs
Fraggle Rock
Transylvania Pet Shop
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles
Dappledown Farm - I used to sneak downstairs very early in the morning and watch it with a slice of bread (I wasn't actually capable of buttering it!!)
I think i'll stop there! I miss being a kid, there was nothing to worry about and life was so easy - but I didn't realise it back then!
So...a new list, programmes I watched when I was older, on Nickelodeon and the like:
Sabrina the Teenage Witch (I prefer the earlier episodes)
Are You Afraid of the Dark
Alex Mack
The Adventures of Flipper the Dolphin (when Jessica Alba was in it)
Home Improvement
Keenan & Kel
Saved by the Bell
California Dreams
Hang Time
USA High
Ready or Not
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Sister Sister
Boy Meets World
Clarissa Explains it All
Touched by an Angel
The Queen's Nose
Sweet Valley High
California Dreams
Clueless
Heartbreak High
Round the Twist
So, that's pretty much around 90% of what I can remember watching when I was a child. I think there were a lot more quality programmes back then - though it could just be me! All those new Disney Programmes can't match any of the old shows, hence why I think they should all be back on television! I would love to be able to watch programmes like California Dreams all over again, that show never did get as much credit as it clearly deserved. i just wish that the old shows were on DVD so I would be able to show them to my children in the future - ya know, when I actually have children!
I miss being a child soooo much!!!
