I used to love the Raccoons, me and a friend had an ongoing story we would write and Cryil Sneer was the baddie, we named our hero Sephals Snake. This was in 1996, we were 12.

I used to love going to the Saturday Morning Pictures at the local cinema, watching such classics as "The Lone Ranger", "Flash Gordon", etc. The atmosphere was great with us kids cheering and stamping our feet.

Never watched Jamie, but loved Charlie Chalk

Watched the others a bit.

The biggest Irish pub owners name is Charlie Chalk so it always gives me a chuckle. :lol:

You old git! :twisted:

Actually, so did I. I remember there was one story a bit like Indie Jones (probably why I liked Indie Jones) and every week the hero was going to die so you had to go next week to see what happened

And speaking of Batman, wasn't that brilliant? The Adam West Batman was on from Monday to Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday he was always caught and going to die, but on Friday he (and Robin) had a big punch up with the bad guys with "pows" and "kersplats" etc etc.

And the Champions, Randall and Hopkirk, the Prisoner, the Persuaders and Kung fu were all brill.

I still like Spongebob. Watched a lot of the Angry Beavers on youtube not that long ago too and it still made me giggle, though it was mostly nostalgia.

Anyone else remember Pocket Dragons? Street Sharks? Thundercats!

by **pip** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:56 pm

I think Dave remembers thundercats for some reason :wink:

I remember street sharks but pocket dragons rings no bells

by **BatrickPatrick** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 3:45 pm

It was about tiny dragons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_Dragon_Adventures ... 1998 apparently.

An awful lot of these programmes seemed to be designed with merchandise in mind. Transformers springs to mind, although that was at least quite good.

Anyone remember MASK?

What about The Get Along Gang? I remember taking my kids to a department store where there were people dressed the characters. I think the kids were somewhat traumatised. :lol:

by **DaveC** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:27 pm

I remember MASK and Get Along Gang, though more the names rather than the memory of watching them. And yeah, I didn't think I needed to say Thundercats.
