Me and a friend were debating last night at how most of today's shows for kids are pap compared to the ones we had as kids. I think the main shows that stick out the most for me as being good were Spellbinder, Knightmare, Demon Headmaster, T-Bag and The Queen's Nose. And i think the only main show that got on my nerves was Round the Twist as it was too bizarre.

20 years from now you'll hear some teenager saying that the kid's shows just aren't as good as they were 20 years ago. I think kid's show in general are painful to adults, except the ones from our childhood seem better because we remember liking them.

Anyway, only old people from the US know these. Well, some of them are still around, but my generation was the original audience.

The Children’s Television Workshop/PBS (or ‘channel 13’, as I would have called it then) stuff:
Sesame Street
Electric Company
Zoom
Mr. Rogers Neighborhood
Magic Garden

For some reason non-PBS stuff is fuzzier. Probably because at least some of the above were actually clever. The old Warner Brother’s Looney Tunes stuff is still good, but I know it wasn’t made in the 70s, (and I could tell then that it wasn’t made for kids) but I believe these were:

Wacky Races (some or all of the characters were from other cartoons, but I can’t remember much more than that)
Electra-Woman & Dyna Girl
Schoolhouse Rock (although that was on between the shows)

The only show which springs to mind was during my teenage years of 'Saved by the Bell' with Zac being coolest of the class...

Maid Marion
Round The Twist

Actually, that's about it.

While I'd like it to happen to annoy all these ponces who think that their generation = winnar and no other subsequent generation can ever really experience life as they did (tangent: rock n roll was mostly shit and has been massively improved upon in the last 50 years, but try telling that to my dad), I still hope that today's kids don't grow up to be nostalgic of the kids TV that's on nowadays, because it truly is wank. I know most of what I put up with was wank, but there were a few shows which both me AND my parents loved then and can still watch now, because they weren't just junk aimed at people who are still easily amused by noise and colour and "street" language. Pretty much everything I've seen on kids TV lately has been exactly that, and I feel sorry for people who grow up on it.
