Moonbase ALpha to Eagle One. Can you hear me Eagle One. aaaaghhhhhhh!!!
the Eagles are the coolest ship in any Gerry Anderson show (except thunderbird2), which pretty much makes them the coolest ship ever and a cert that someone will realise they're a great idea one day (likemost of everything else in gerry's shows)
LOL, I still have a tourretts like impulse to yell that at anyone who's delusional.
"schumacher's gonna be 8 times champ this yea" "boss bos da plane eees coming da plane eeees coming"

I believe the cancellation of the clangers is directly responsilbe for the fact that the UK is full of dribbling Morons...
The Clangers: "here is the world of the clangers, hanging like a shining orb in the infinite firmament of space, and as we peer ever closer through the inky void, we find small clanger..."hello small clanger what are you doing? oooooh tiny clanger's fallen down a hole, why that's just terrible, we shall have to fetch major clanger at once" etc
fast forward 30 years, and kids the same age are watching... "eh-oh, oooh want tubby custard"
Declining standard in education my right bollock, stop making shows for retards and start making them for children again.

The Clangers made fookin' sense. Everyone knows it. The Teletubbies are pants.

Honest. That was the full title. But for obvious reasons it was shortened to Why Don't You (but they sang the full title in the theme tune).
Indeed, how could i TOO forget the splits. AND Mr Benn, or shame on me. I managed a charity shop for a while, and if anyon around my age was in I'd silently sneak out from the back of the shop then utter "as if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared", of about 5 times I did it, oly 2 person knew WTF I was getting at, the rest just thought I was a nut job (not helped by the shop being that of a mental health charity LOL).
I dunno if kids TV was BETTER in our day Sam, or just less retarded. Maybe there were really stupid shows, and we didn;t watch them, the people who did never went on to be netziens. the last kids show I remember seeing that wasn't just bright colours, britneys tits,cheap gags, low advertising nothing too stressful to the young consumer's brain....was Probably "roger and the Rottentrolls", the first series of which was probably the MOST subversive kids show ever. I think they were told to sort it out by the next seies tho ( or the kid who wrote the first one stopped writing). Sadly I got Sky in a while ago, and don't find myself watching kids shows much any more :(
EDIT: was it just me or did EVERYONE wretch when it was kids from their part of the country on "why don't you...." (yer right about full title of course). People from here have the most bizarre habit of speaking like an air-raid siren when forced to "perfom", the pitch just goes up and down for no reason at all, and all natural inflection is swamped by it, we are the antithesis of Americans when presented with a TV camera.

I think it was a bit of both, but will kids of today talk about programmes they watched in 30 years time? Doubt it.
Imagine it: 'Dick and Dom? Who?!'

The Clangers used to scare me - I thought I had a speech impediment! It was only years later........... And Mr Benn - I talk to my kids about that now.
What was the one where it said ' looking through the ROUND window' or another day it would be 'the SQUARE window' etc.... what was that programme?

My GF wrapped me Birthday pressie in clangers paper, took one look at my face when unwrapepd it, and went straight out and bought me another sheet to stick on the wall, bless her.
BTW, you misread my thing about "making shows for kids", the clangers WAS for kids, kids love knowing things adults don't and big words are cool. teletubbies is, I dunno WTF it is. Have seen other shows for much younger kids that DO make sense these days. My little nephew spends more time watching the bagpuss video me sis bought him than any current kids show (tho like me at his age, he's happer with documentaries and stuff anyway)

DID you know that the Clangers was CUT? in one episode Major clanger (I think) says "sod it the bloody thing's stuck again" And the beeb actually caught onto it (without seeing Firman's script) and cut the line. LOL

Seen it on a documentary about those extremely clever chaps who made the clangers and bagpuss and noggin the nog and Ivor the engine. True English Genius!
Cartoons
Always liked Chilly Willy as a cartoon character as well.
I didn't have a color TV set until 1989, so I didn't watch much TV until then, but these are some I remember watching:
As an adolescent, I watched a show called "On Tour" which was on a local channel. It had clips of bands playing live for an hour. I didn't start watching this until i was about 13 or 14, so I guess it doesn't count.
