Tripping Back In Time

[Serotonin]

Right, I just saw a music video on tv that reminded me of when I was younger. I am so damn bored that I got to thinking - it would be pretty cool to make a thread that features things that remind you of the past. So we can share the omg's and perhaps restart interest in them, who knows :D It can be anything - songs, toys, cartoons, adverts, books... ANYTHING!!

I'm going to start with...

Music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4id5fgLwsu0&mode=related&search=)
Advert (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1jywlZG74o&mode=related&search=)
Cartoon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHfy0PH5W6E)

And I shall probably edit this with more later on :)

[Collateral Damage]

Aw the X-men cartoon I had so forgotten about that, I used to watch that and love it, lol, and that song, lol! It was infectious and annoying but I loved it! :-p Wanna go back to when it was all new! There's a few adverts that I used to love, I'm trying to find videos of them, I'll add them once I've found them ;)

[Silent Noise]

I use to watch that cartoon too, I loved it! I must confess I still do watch it every now and again :-p its repeated on one of the kids channels - Jetix [sp?] ;) the new X-Men Evolution isn’t a patch on the original cartoon. ;)

Any one remember this cartoon? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LET3nCX8x0)

Dexter's Lab! I used to watch that, and the Powerpuff Girls.

That Tango ad had to be taken off air because too many kids were going round slappin' their friends hehe. Actually I think they replaced it with the guy giving him a kiss instead.

I know a lot of you are big Heartbeat fans but for me that's like a childhood memory. I used to watch that with my mum when I was about 6 or 7, maybe older. I don't anymore sorry. Annnddd Animal Hospital. I loved that show!

Same with me, I can remember singing along to the theme tune with my sister and us pretending to play the guitar , lol :-p

[Vienna]

Playdays kicked major ass! We actually had a big discussion in Maths (well what else were we gonna do) about kids TV shows. I came out with ones about the horses! I hate horses!

My Little Pony! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPzXkxT_XFM)

*worships YouTube*

[Crimson Sunrise]

Does anyone remeber the name of that series (and it had a book series) about teddies on a shelf? It had a little bear in red dungarees & a wolly giraffe? They all lived on a shelf or something.

[Serotonin]

Sorry, I do recognise something like that...but I can't remember what it was called!!

Ho hum, I found some more!!

Sorry about the awful quality on this one!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx7bE6iYtko)

[Silent Noise]

I loved watching the Gladiators when I was a kid, I use to have Jet posters all over my bedroom wall :-p and I went to see them live at Birmingham arena when I was about 8. :D

[Serotonin]

When I look at it now it is so acted out and lame lol. But when I was little it rocked!!

[Collateral Damage]

The Power Rangers :D I used to love that, only the original one that started off everything... I still have them all on video somewhere, lol, yes I know I'm sad :-p

[Crimson Sunrise]

The Power Rangers :D I used to love that, only the original one that started off everything... I still have them all on video somewhere, lol, yes I know I'm sad :-p
I used to love power rangers too :D
The first series was the best, the rest are pretty sad to me, I have the power rangers movie on VHS somewheres lol

[Evangeline Lilly]

Omg, I watched Power Rangers. I loved it. I remember it always being on on Saturday morning.

And Gladiators rulled. I met one of them in primary school. Can't even remember his name but I have a photo with him. It wasn't the big scary one unfortunately. The Big bad wolfe or something was his name lol.

Blind date....what a classic. I wish that was still on. And the Crystal maze....such memories!

[Lights Out]

I loved Gladiators it was so cool, I used to watch it everytime that it was one. I remember that me and my sister used to pretend that we were gladiators and stand on the ends of our sofa and try and knock each other off was great fun.

[Collateral Damage]

I have the power rangers movie on VHS somewheres lol

I watched it a through this summer holiday somewhen, it was on sky movies and when I watched it I couldn't help thinking just how cheesy it is :-p


Blind date....what a classic. I wish that was still on. And the Crystal maze....such memories!

Blind Date :lovegrin: was fantastic... I used to watch it with my gran, this was back when I didn't find her completely annoying, lol, good memories! The Crystal Maze was amazing :-p I loved that, I think if that were still on I would watch it, lol!

And the Adams family, thats was pretty ace at the time, lol, didn't notice that one before :-p

[Vienna]

Button Moon, Rainbows and Sooty and Sweep! Connie, what you watched was practically the same as me. And also, just remembered another. The magic Roundabout.

[Evangeline Lilly]

I was about to search for the Magic Roundabout on youtube. I loved that show too.

Did anyone watch The Moomins? I remember watching that all the time as a kid. I'm not sure what animals they were supposed to be, or where they their own breed? lol

[Collateral Damage]

Someone needs to tell me what Button Moon actually is :-p because Connie was always going on about it and so was Tiff at one point... but I'd never heard of it until they said something about it... well actually they were asking me why I hadn't ever watched it, lol!

The Magic round about was ace too... I was trying to think of the name of something I used to watch that was on really early in the morning when I was 7 or 8 I think, I would always be up and just randomly flicking through all those early morning kids programs and it would be on.... Unfortunately You Tube won't let you search for videos at the moment, or it won't let me :( I'll figure it out somewhen over this weekend, lol!

Did anyone watch The Moomins? I remember watching that all the time as a kid. I'm not sure what animals they were supposed to be, or where they their own breed? lol

I watched it once and then swore I would never watch it again, they scared the crap out of me whenever I used to watch it, or see an ad for it :-p Whatever they were, it wasn't normal... it was freaky, lol!

[Vienna]

I didn'y like the Moomins, but I was just looking back on early posts. I loved the Animals of Farthing Wood! It was one of my all time favourites. Although I watched it once a week and couldn't really keep up. I remember only one part. When the two hedgehogs got run over! Not subtiable for kids!

Also, Sailor Moon! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHRcQGqDGTs)

[Lights Out]

Crystal Maze was such an amazing game show, I remember I liked it so much that I had to go out and buy the game as well so I did.

Mandi here is a better example of what Button Moon is Button Moon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSm080Pa82I)

[Silent Noise]

I've never heard of Button Moon?? I don’t recognise it either?? I must not have liked it :-p

[Vienna]

A lot of people haven't heard of Button Moon. I've only ever seen two episodes I had on video because I didn't know where else to watch them.

[Lights Out]

Button Moon was amazing, it was so cool when I was younger, now I just look back at it and think wow I really liked this, it was so cheesy with the characters and the theme song. But when I was younger I loved it and didn't miss an episode of it.

[Serotonin]

I remember Button Moon :) Graham bought it on dvd the other day lol. It was totally cool when I was really little, but there again so was Thomas the Tank so there you go!!

[Lights Out]

I used to watch Thomas the Tank engine as well, and Rosie and Jim, Popeye, and more but I can think what they are at the moment my mind has gone blank.

[Silent Noise]

Rosie and Jim! I remember that show :-p

[Serotonin]

lmao, me and my friends have an on-going joke about the duck from Rosie and Jim. Changing the word wack into something else lol. It's amusing for my childish and disgusting mind :D

My god, Popeye rocked!! Inspecter Gadget too!! What else...Biker Mice from Mars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Super Mario. Ahh memories!

[Lights Out]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I used to love that show it was so cool.

[Vienna]

Thomas the Tank! That was the all time classic from me and my brothers childhood. I got a classic book of it. It was really expensive and would be worth a lot, and I mean a lot, nowadays. But I thought that the book was a little dull and I had colouring pencils. *shrugs* I would do it again.

[Silent Noise]

Biker Mice from Mars, lol - they have just started to repeat that cartoon again on ITV - though I remember it being a lot better than it is/was.

Saved by the Bell -> everyone watched that. :D and California Dreams.

And did anyone watch The Magic School Bus?

Barney, Goosebumps, Fraggle Rock, Alvin & the Chipmunks.... can't think of anymore, Gummi Bears, The Trap Door, DuckTales?

[Serotonin]

Saved by the bell is so awful lol. I never really saw it's appeal, even at the height of it's popularity.

Barney is evil!!!

Alvin and the chipmunks and ducktales rocked hard. Love! Haha, I always remember that their dad's name was Dave...and they called him Dave..how weird is that?!!!
LOL Trap Door is/was such a stoner cartoon!

[Collateral Damage]

Biker Mice from Mars, lol - they have just started to repeat that cartoon again on ITV - though I remember it being a lot better than it is/was.

Saved by the Bell -> everyone watched that. :D and California Dreams.

Biker mice from mars was what I was trying to think of a while ago :-p It was so amazing, lol! But now I watch it and can't really see it!

Saved by the bell was awesome :D

[Serotonin]

Oh my gosh! Charlie Chalk!! And Bangers and Mash mwahaha! Bodger and Badger, Zap!, Art Attack (when it was good)....hmm I shall think some more!

[katiep563]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4gW7gxLHPM Lamb Chop!

[Lights Out]

Goosebumps, Alvin and the chipmunks, Zap as well my god I have only just remembered me watching those shows, but they were amazing when I was younger used to watch them all of the time never missed an episode.

[Vienna]

Alvin and the chipmunks kicked almighty ass! They really did rock. I loved the three of them.

Hmmm.... trying to think of another but I'm kinda surprised no one mentioned Winnie the Pooh

[Samantha]

I loved Thomas the Tank Engine. I kept all my videos and then I came home one day and my mum had decided to have a bit of a spring clean and had given them away :mad: I got so mad she's never even suggested I get rid of things anymore. I mean they were classic episodes, all narrated by Ringo Starr. The classic book adaptations. They don't make them like that anymore.

I still have my Thomas books though :D and the models. They don't make the models like they used to either. They're all plastic and have detachable coal bunkers. I have the proper metal ones :nod: some of them are a little battered but some of them are in pretty good condition. I lost my Bertie the bus though and my Edward but I got a new Edward for Christmas but no Bertie.

I also liked Fireman Sam and Postman Pat. Not the new Postman Pat but the old proper one. I also liked this cartoon series but I can't remember what it was called. It had this teddy sliding down this shoot in the opening sequence and it was all abandoned and I think it's arm was torn or something and I swear it had something to do with space. Google isn't being very helpful with that description though. I thought it was Bananaman but it wasn't. It was years ago I can't remember.

I also liked the X-men cartoon but I invariably missed it because it was on at different times between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers, neither of which I liked. I did kinda like the new Spiderman though. Not the really old weird one but the new one.

[reepicheep]

'moi lolita' by alizee brings me back sometimes. due to the number of french students coming through my house at the time ;) especially the last summer with my dad. alvin and the chipmunks also ranked high on my childhood list as well as playing pogs in various cousin's flats and basements in israel. a game a bit like tiddly winks

[Lights Out]

Pogs I remember those I used to play them a lot with friends, was one of the crazys that we went through for a while. Now you don't seem to see them around that much.

[Evangeline Lilly]

People in primary school used to have tins full of pogs; they collected them hehe. I think I had a tube full of them. Then it was Pokemon cards. They were banned from my school after a while. Now you never see them about.

Saved by the bell was one of my favourite shows as a kid. I started watching it way after it had stopped being made. I was like 3 then. It was a great show back then :)

[Serotonin]

I also liked this cartoon series but I can't remember what it was called. It had this teddy sliding down this shoot in the opening sequence and it was all abandoned and I think it's arm was torn or something and I swear it had something to do with space.

Superted..or was it Super Ted... by any chance? With Spotty and Texas Pete :D I remember that one if that's the one you mean lol.

Haha, I loved pogs and I want them to come back in!! Although most of my old collection went through the washing machine :( But they were wicked rad!

Actually, there is a collecters shop in Yeovil, and pokemon cards still have a huge following here. We are a town of geeks and chavs...it's not pretty!!

What else was popular... furby's and tamagotchi's(sp?). I also seem to recall a weird thing for yo-yo's as well lol.

Yay Super Ted! I just watched the intro on youtube. It was just as I remembered it. :D

I still love yo-yo's. I bought one in Sweden but it broke and I haven't bought another one. Hmm. Must get one. I never really went in for the popular stuff. When everyone went through that weird alien faze I played basketball and I still played basketball when it went on to the next thing. I only stopped when I stunned my thumb playing and couldn't move it for ages. Ooooh scary times.

I love this thread. It's nice remembering childhood :D Mind you I still like most things but as I'm always saying I'm six at heart right down to the yearning for velcro trainers which light up when you walk.

ETA because I can't spell.

[Serotonin]

LOL I have to say I wasn't quite expecting this thread to be as popular as it is!! But it's awesome, I love watching the entrance videos over and over - I am still such a child lol. The way I see it, I got to remain young while I still can!

Cartoons these days suck compared to when I was little!!!

Just thought of some, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Animaniacs and The Pinky and the Brain.

[Vienna]

Animaniacs! Thank god someone knew the name. It's taken me three months of thinking and never asked Holly. Four us of couldn't remember but we all knew what we were on about though.

[Lights Out]

Super Ted was amazing, I haven't seen it in ages, might just have to watch it on You tube again sometime.

[Crimson Sunrise]

And did anyone watch The Magic School Bus?

Yes! Thats how I know what molecules are! (thanks MSB)

Did anyone remeber transilvania Petshop?

[Vienna]

Pocket Dragons. I remember being ill on day and they were on for eight hours.

[Serotonin]

I remember Transylvanian Petshop, I couldn't find the video for it the other day. It's one of those fewer known ones I think.

I can't believe nobody has said Tom and Jerry yet lol. That was totally one of my favourites, it's still amusing when I watch it now actually! Although I was always kinda annoyed that Tom never caught Jerry and managed to eat him lol.

[Evangeline Lilly]

Yeah I watched Tom and Gerry. And Captain Cave Man. I remembered that yesterday while watching some of the 100 greatest cartoons. It was quite good actually, did anyone else catch some of it? I wanna know what number one was.

[Lights Out]

I didn't watch the greatest number one cartoons but number 1 was The Simpsons.

Just looking at the list I remember the flintstones it was so good. I loved the dinosaur in it he was amazing.

[Crimson Sunrise]

I think someone said Tom & Jerry on page 2. I used to love watching the magic roundabout and Playdays, with rosie to musical spinny thingy.

[Serotonin]

Yeah I re-watched 100 greatest toons last night, I've seen it before but it's still cool. I do disagree with the number 1 though, sure the Simpsons is good...but no way the best ever. I get too easily bored with it and I always have done.

There was the Super Mario Brothers cartoon as well, that rocked!!

[Vienna]

The Jetsons, the Flintstones, Tom and Jerry. And the Loony Tones.

Tom and Jerry was awesome, sometimes I just forget how funny it really was.

[Circles]

Wow, suddenly I feel like watching a lot of Power Rangers episodes. Haha, yeah, I only liked Mighty Morphin'... when Kat entered and stole Tommy from Kim and Kim left... I boycotted and never watched it again. I was so obsessed with Power Rangers!

Did anyone ever watch Snick? Awesome shows back in the day like Are You Afraid of the Dark? were on there. That's what I miss most.

ETA Anyone here ever watch 'Adventures In Wonderland'? It was on the Disney Channel. Elisabeth Harnois was in it. The intro is here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=LWjLjPqwtk8). Gah, I used to be obsessed with that show, literally. I freaked out when I realized it was her.

[Lights Out]

I was having a conversation with Emma at dinner time tonight and we came up with other TV programmes that we used to watch when we were kids. Anyways there were


Brum
Live and Kicking
Fun House
The big breakfast
Sabrina the teenage witch- the real one not the cartoon version
Crystal Maze
Pingu

[Serotonin]

Fun house was the best! I loved that!

T.F.I Fridays, TOTP - when it was still good, Big Break, The Generation Game, Wheel of Fortune and Catchphrase.

[Evangeline Lilly]

I watched all of those lol.
Fun House always looked like so much fun, I always wanted to do it.

I was quite obsessed with Keenan and Kel for a while, as well as Sabrina. Nick was my favourite channel as a kid.

[reepicheep]

live and kicking! ah yes! i remember. another thing that we don't do anymore is have a cooked breakfast iraqi style courtesy of my dad and we sat and watched it in the mornings with a plate. no more breakfasts like that anymore...i miss that more than the programme really

[Fortunate Fiasco]

Yay fun house was so cool :D!

Anyone remember Wizadora? (Sp?) (if that's come up already sorry, thats me skim reading!) And Aquilla was so cool as well I always wanted a little space ship to fly around in!

I was about to search for the Magic Roundabout on youtube. I loved that show too.

Did anyone watch The Moomins? I remember watching that all the time as a kid. I'm not sure what animals they were supposed to be, or where they their own breed? lol

Ah the moomins saw it a few times, but they looked so strange the creatures, that it kinda freaked me out as a child so I stopped watching it lol!

Alvin and the chipmunks and crystal maze rocked :)! Lol! Kid's TV now days is not so good, well apart from My Parents Are Aliens :-p!

[Serotonin]

I have some phone hanger thingies of the moomins :D I also signed a petition to have them released on dvd lol. I helped save them from death!!! I liked watching it as a kid, even if I didn't really understand - well I assume I didn't understand because I can't remember a single episode. Not even slightly!!
