You know your old when you start to try and hunt down your favourite cartoons!
Even this one none of my friends watched, but good old Google and some digging and you can buy it on DVD.

It was American which had probably slowed me somewhat!

So your favourites or those you know of.

Silas, my all time favourite
The littlest hobo
Lassie
Stig of the dump
Folly foot
Worzel Gummage
Monkey Magic
Bod you would need to remember back to toddler age.

I did what would appear to be hours in the front of the TV but that's not true because kids stuff was only on for an hour! Weekends were at the stables and if swap shop wasn't on I wasn't watching. :wink:

I used to love Bod!!!! lol it was manic! The theme tune rocks!!!

 

[Trewsers]

Just wanted to add; I kinda remember The New Shmoo!

 

[Gimp]

Flipper, GUmmy Bears, Fraggle rock, Button Moon, Bagpuss, Worzel, Im sure more will come back to me to !

 

[Trewsers]

Oooh yes! Bagpuss! lol watched one on youtube not long ago - it's only taken me the best part of 30 years to realise Bagpuss told fibs and that he just made the explanations up!!!!!!

 

[squidsin]

Bagpuss scared me! Well, the mice did.
Does ANYONE remember The Boy Who Lost His Smile? Pretty much the same as Silas, badly dubbed from Swiss (I think)? I think it was only shown on West Country telly, in the 80s.
I loved Bod and the Flumps, Cities of Gold, Ulysses, Dogtanian and the Three Muskahounds, Dungeons and Dragons, Maid Marion and her Merry Men, and Knightmare.

 

[Trewsers]

Hahaaaaa The Flumps!!! Lol
Anyone remember The Munch Bunch?!

I had the Munch Bunch books - they were drawn by a 9-year old prodigy or something weren't they?
Was it on TV as well?

I had a paperback book of The Tomorrow People - bought from the local second hand shop. The series wasn't on tv much by the time I got the book - but I remember rather enjoying it. One of my brothers used to watch it.

Yes! Wow, the plot looks even odder than I remember. I seem to remember it was one of those shows that wasn't shown to its conclusion, so poor Timm never got his laugh back.

Oh yes with who is now Audrey in Corrie, Miss Pop Off.
