Everyone has atleast one. As a kid, I loved the Flash. Recently I picked up the entire series on dvd and it just isn't the same. Sure I still got a little enjoyment from it now but not the same as when I was a kid. I would literally be glued to the television in ore of this but alas it doesn't have the same effect now.

On the other hand shows I watched as kid (Red Dwarf, Young Ones, Bottom) I loved but didn't really get. Rewatching these have been a treat as I can now fully interpret and comprehend what it is all about.

We just discussed this theme with my friends this week. For me it was Mc Gyver. If I now try to watch an episode, I can´t but when I was a kid it was a must.

How about Power Rangers? As a kid they where the total meaning of the word cool, now they are the definition of uncool.

Knight Rider David Hasselhoff and that talking car KITT

when I was kid that was huge tv series but now I think that

Knight Rider, definitely.

The A-Team is another one. So great as a kid, now it's just beyond belief.

Heh, I still think that "A-Team" is cute.

Power Rangers, I rembember how popular the series was when I was a kid. Looking back I can understand why. Ass kicking teenagers in fancy costumes. My favourite was the blue one btw

I have some Power Rangers episodes on tape and they still kick ass like they used to, no matter how cheesy it all feels these days.

South Park was also a big one when I was 13, I mean it's still funny, but in a really different way. In those days it was just "hahaha he farted, ahahaha they killed Kenny", but now it's something more than that. Well, the tv show has also evolved a bit in time, though.

I remember watching Power Rangers too, although I´m a girl. My favourite was the pink one. (or the red I can´t even remember their colours anymore...) Anyway a guy who was in the same kindergarten as I had told me that the pink one is a girl and I totally bought into that till he revealed he had lied.

i remember a cartoon called "thundercats" i used to struggle with my mon just because i didnt want to miss out any chapter so i always was like i want to watch it and see what happens to 'lion-o', he was my favorite character, but now, i re-watched this cartoon, and it's not like exellent, i can find any emotion on it and it's not so interestin' as i thought it would be, i dont really know what i was thinking to watch that cartoon, i'm a little disappointed of that, but nevermind, cause this cartoon made me laugh and suffer too many times and that's what it counts

i never watched power rangers
but night rider sounds known, is that series with d haselhof and that shity car if it is damn how stupid this is now

Omg...yeah.I totally understand what you people are saying.I loved The Flash,Thundercats-i was OBSESSED with Thundercats,Conan,He-man,Red Dwarf,A-Team,Knight Rider-omg knight rider is so lame and i used to watch it all the time.Yea Eddie it's the one with the stupid car

HAHAHAHHAAAA...WE ALL USED TO WATCH THE SAME CRAP..HAHAAAA

Seriously...we suck

When I was just 8 or 9 everybody's fav was Battlestar Galactica it was awesome

A team is still great, watched it the other day

Seriously...we suck

we don't suck looks like that was only TV seires showed on all TV station around the fuckin globe in that time he hee

I can't really join in with this thread as no one would know the progs I watched when I was young (Yes , tv was invented then !).

But I recognise all of the ones you mention because my children watched them - special favourites were Thundercats , He-man and Power Rangers.
Does anyone remember MASK ?

Totally agree, those series were cool back when I was young.
Also
Fame,
The Man From Atlantis,
Starsky & Hutch
Charlie's Angels
The Hulk
Spiderman
Wonder Woman
The Professionals
Miami Vice

back watching them now they make me cringe...

trying to think of more... i didn't watch too much TV really, mostly PBS. my favorite show was Doctor Who (TOM BAKER!) and even know I still enjoy watching those old episodes, even if the special effects are horribly cheesy by today's standards.


oh, and one more. I loved the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon... you remember, the one that featured


Willie Ames (of Charles in Charge, Eight is Enough, Bibleman) as Hank the Ranger.

Oh my god, Eight is Enough, that brings back memories to the late Seventies and early Eighties.
Other series which I enjoyed back then but find crappy now...
Buck Rogers
Battlestar Galactica
and
Dukes of Hazzard (although Daisy Duke I still dig

Buck Rogers! Erin Gray was hot!





I'll take her - you can have Daisy!


Battlestar was another one - surprised I didn't think of that. I always liked Starbuck and Boomer. I've caught the new ones on the SciFi channel and approve of the female Starbuck - she drinks, smokes cigars, gambles - she emobodies the same charachter archetype. Not thrilled at what they did with Boomer, though.

One series I also watched was Moomins. I don´t know if many here know this Finnish series about the round white creatures which look like hippos, but certainly aren´t ones. Anyway, I find it pretty different now, only in a positive way. Only now I can fully understand how marvellous that series is and how much it has helped me to learn the language during my first years. I still love that series.

Fraggle Rock, anyone remember that one? and definitely Thundercats. Does anyone remember the Batman Cartoons? I now realize that whoever made cartoons like those were on some serious drugs. I also liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that dude was probably stoned and said "Check out my turtle!" and grab it's shell and said "HY-YA! Fucking ninja man, he's a mutant!".

When I was kid I used to like tv series SAPPHIRE and STEEL but now I think that it might be quite lame
but it was pretty good back then

Talking about people who have been stoned when doing those programmes...what about the one who made Doctor Snuggles. A somewhat crazy professor who travels above the clouds with his odd machines that talk. No one can come up with anything like that unless they´re on drugs. And then hundreds of kids, including me, watch that series.

I guess that would be Lois&Clark (the Superman series). Now I find them dumb, but yet interesting.

Moomins he hee

I remember watching Full House and The Fresh Prince of Bell Air I used to love sit-coms as a kid I still do actaully

And btw, Power Rangers, He-Man and Captain Planet stil rock!!
