Kids Incorporated
The Muppet Show
Reading Rainbow
Degrassi Junior High
No question: The Adventures of Pete and Pete. I’ve watched the show recently and trust me when I say that this thing was not made for kids—it was made for awesome people.
The Third Eye (showing my age but I can’t be the only one here who remembers this)
Today’s Special (it came on later so it was a sick day show but it involved a mannequin that came to life and I think there was a mouse puppet in there too.)
Square One (I hated math but this show made math “cool.”)
Out of Control (Dave Coulier before Full House)
Lights Camera Action (Leonard Nimoy hosting a behind the scenes show about current movies)
Rated K (kids sitting around a table reviewing movies. I was so jealous of those little bastards)
I have heard of just eight of the above, and have seen just four of them. I suspect this means most of the following will mean nothing here:
The Adventure Game
Bod
Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds (poor – but the memories burn on)
Dangermouse (likewise)
Going Live
Grange Hill (longer lived, less painful UK version of Degrassi…)
The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Rentaghost
Ulysses 31
Willo The Wisp
And Dr Who (before they had money and when Bonnie Langford was strangely popular - the first time round).
Dangermouse (likewise)
The Mysterious Cities of Gold
You sir, must not be part of the Diabolical Legion, cuz if you were you would know we show some love to it on our members only show, The Diabolical Sound.
As for the The Mysterious Cities of Gold, I looked for the theme song to that show because I loved the hell out of it when I was a kid. Any hints on how to find it now? I believe it was a French/Korean production, which I find odd considering it was about ancient native american civilizations and the quest to find where they disappeared to.
I think I might have joined the legion at some point, but I tend to drunk type on these things and forget passwords/ websites/ my name/ how to pee. It doesn’t help that my yahoo account contains more spam than a Scouser at the moment so I may need to private message you on this.
