What Shows Did You Watch As A Kid?

Never heard of'm.
But we did get curling out of Canuckistan.
On Sunday mornings, it was the only thing that wasn't about Jesus.

LOL! I was asking because in Chicago Garfield Goose was the show that had Clutch Cargo cartoons on their list.

Wait: curling out of Canuckistan wasn't about Jesus? Now my whole religious upbringing doesn't make sense.

Yeah, a middle-aged man with a pageboy haircut and several strategically placed openings in his door, inviting thousands of kids across the Midwest to come inside and play with him and "Mr. Green Jeans".

Kind of explains a few things about the way our generation turned out.

And this....bizarre tv-show....

Quite a few have already been mentioned. Here's some I think haven't...

The first three (clangers,ivor and noggin) are from my parents generation and were made by the same guys. I think but they bought me the videos.

The Clangers...


Ivor the Engine...


Noggin the Nog...


Tales of the Riverbank... (So that every hamster I had as a kid was called "hammey" after watching this show)


Reboot...


Might add a few more later on when I remeber them. :)

I notice a big difference.
The kids shows I watched were all black & white.
These young whippersnappers here watched shows in color!
But I too was privileged....we had four channels.....2, 4, 7 & Canuckistan (9).

Btw, back in the 50s & early 60s, it was called "Canada".
Times have changed.

This thread is a nostalgic trip for me.

It reminds me of shows I used to watch.

I do an online survey and sometimes it asks me what shows I watched yesterday and I can't remember!
