I suppose a discussion of Pogle's Wood is out of the question...

Not at all, I remember those charming animated things, though they were ancient by the 70s.

Dude, pogs, I remember pogs! That's not what I voted, I'm not sure I can choose, but pogs have just been gone from my mind and my heart for so long...

Others for me. Augsburger Puppenkiste (a German string puppet tv program that usually runs once a year (before christmas. and yes, it still does run) and each year tells a different tale in 4 episodes on the four sundays before christmas.
Also "Raumpatrouille" ("Space Patrol"), the German answer to "Star Trek", but still in black and white, and only 7 episodes. When I first saw it, it was the 2nd or 3rd rerun already (it is a German cult classic), but I was fascinated by it.

From that list, Ninja Turtles, definately.

For me though, little beats Sega Megadrive, The Animals of Farthing Wood and Count Duckula for nostalgia.

But the '70s had much cooler stuff. Saved by the Bell, Power Rangers, Muppet Babies? We had actual Muppets, The Electric Company, The Six Million Dollar Man (with Bigfoot ).

I miss Looney Tunes.... Who didn't watch that?  Those were great cartoons, I wish they weren't taken off main networks and put on some random channel (Boomerang, I think?  I haven't anything about that channel in a while).
