as for past itv kids stuff .....

WHAT'S UP DOC! was ESSENTIAL viewing
as was the whole COSGROVE HALL stuff
TINY TOONS / ANIMANIACS / FREAKAZOID / PINKY AND THE BRAIN
BAD INFLUENCE (since i watched everything computer game related on tv)
PRESS GANG

but it was mostly the saturday morning supershows that i watched, ever switching between them and BBC .....
TISWAS / NUMBER 73/ WIDE AWAKE CLUB / GET FRESH / MOTORMOUTH ..... then a long gap to the aforementioned Bro and Bro show

[thechase]

I was hesitant to include the weekend shows because I might make a big showdown poll for all of them, BBC included, but yeah I loved What's Up Doc, Motormouth, and Get Fresh. I didn't watch much of SMTV: LIVE, as I had SKY and was addicted to FOX KIDS, but I caught a little of Ministry of Mayhem in 2005 which I greatly enjoyed.

What did happen to Saturday Morning telly? I remember Going Live, live and kicking, Ghost Train and the like. Anyone see the clip from Going Live in the phone in some kid screams you're f**king crap at some pop band.

Oh and if knightmare isn't at the top then you're dead to me.

Saturday morning still exists over in the UK, though it hasn't quite reached the heights of old. There's "Scrambled" on in the CITV morning hours, and Saturday Mash-Up over on the CBBC Channel. Channel 5 has Spongebob and Rise of the TMNT on weekends, along with their Milkshake! brand of pre-school programmes running seven days a week

The kid who asked Five Star “why they’re so f***ing crap”. A legend was born that morning.
(Language warning obviously)

Someone also rung in a similar show a few years earlier and called wanky art band Matt Bianco “a bunch of wankers”.

[Jiren]

Speaking of Fun House, at school we always believed that Pat Sharpe was banging the twins.

I'll bet that f***ing mullet was a chick magnet

This is now the only thing Five Star are even remembered for.

To be fair, they were pretty huge for a year or two in 86/87and as a result I’d say they were just as famous for managing to blow their entire fortune in only a couple of years.

[SmashTV]

CBBC always had the better mid 80s product for me, but Knightmare was and is in a league of its own.

[Jiren]

I stopped watching CBBC & CITV when Nickelodeon hit the UK because when I got home I was immediately hit with

- Rugrats
- Sister Sister
- Keenan & Kel
- Sabrina

And on top of that Sky one had Married With Children & Simpsons around 6:00 - 7:00pm and then parents took control to watch Emmerdale/Coro/Eastenders

Melanie and Martina, every young boy's twin crush *sigh*

Loved Fun House, always wanted to go on it just to drive the fun karts

Neil Buchanan had the monopoly on CITV programming back in the day though, with Art Attack, Finders Keepers, Motormouth and It's A Mystery as well as being the character Smart Arty in Zzzap!

On a side note, looking through the list of every show CITV have shown, I was amazed at the fact that it showed every iteration of MOTU from the original Filmation series and She-Ra to New Adventures and the 2002 reboot. They have also shown 3 iterations of TMNT, 2003, 2012 and Next Mutation (OG was on BBC, Rise is on 5), every Power Rangers series and it's spin off/rip offs, the Disney Afternoon shows and various versions of Batman, Superman and Scooby Doo

One that bugged the piss outta me for years was The Riddlers, I always remembered the theme but could never remember what it was called until about 2 yrs ago.

Something funny while revisiting my childhood thanks to this thread, watching the intro to Alphabet castle I noticed something funny.
