Button Moon

missvin · 10th May 2003, 02:08 PM

Childrens telly is not the same as it used to be. I'm thinking about starting a campaign to bring back Button Moon, Pigeon Street and Jimbo. I think that TV companies are robbing children of their youth by showing so called educational programmes like Teletubbies and Tweenies these days. What ever happened to the mindless pish we used to watch?

Did anyone else get highly excited about The Family Ness too? James I bet you did!

You have excellent cartoon taste, I bet you liked Kissiefur as well.

Family Ness was only really Ok, but the song was fuckin top class, apart from n ow, the only words I can remember is "its the family ness" so its pissin me off kinda.

Duck Tales was amazing, I used to always get up early for that, and Chip n Dale-The Rescie Rangers, they were just the coolest.

DANGERMOUSE!

How the hell did I forget about RACOONS? I hope they forgive me. I would also like to pay homage to Rude Dog and The A-Team. Without them and Roland Rat my childhood would have been a flash in the pan. It's just so painful to know I will never experience it in such an innocent way again.

Now when I watch cartoons I'm either high or pissed.

Ryan_Equilibrium · 12th May 2003, 12:34 PM

Thundercats, Jason and the wheeled warriors(even though anyone i ask never remembers this 1),transformers, He-man, trap door...need i say more

Andy_NYS · 12th May 2003, 01:41 PM

I have a family ness video.....am not even joking,i have jimbo jet aswell,i think thats the name anyway

missvin · 12th May 2003, 01:43 PM

I am more jealous of you than I have ever been of anyone in my whole life-not joking. I think if you had the Racoons too I'd probably kill you and steal them.

P.S My real name is Mr T

Captain Cock · 12th May 2003, 02:33 PM

It was Jimbo and the Jet Set wasn't it?
I've been bored at college all day so I thought of loads,
Trapdoor (one of the lecturers at my college did the theme tune for that!)

Thundercats (thunder, thunder, thundercats, hoooooo!)

Visionaries

The Chipmunks (ooh yeah!)

Also does anybody ever watch Grange Hill or Byker back in the day? Remeber when Sammo was a smack head and Roooolaand( real name Erkin Mustapha!) found him ODed in the arcade toilets? And was it PJ or Duncan who got blinded by the paint ball?

Afro Joe · 12th May 2003, 02:41 PM

It was PJ wasnt it?
You know, PJ, the blind one

Captain Cock · 12th May 2003, 02:53 PM

Um no, I didn't no he was the blind one, that's why I was asking!
