Awesome stuff from my childhood poll

If you have one of those, then I envy you beyond human comprehension. That is a cute looking toy.

Hmm where is Batman and Robin or the Green Hornets with Bruce Lee as the chauffeur?

And yes I was born in 1990 and I watched those shows all the time.

Okay my votes would be:
Super Nintendo
Legos
Pogs
Thundercats
Ninja Turtles
Captain Planet

I can't vote Power Rangers though. My parents thought it was too violent and never let me watch it.

Well, I was born in the 1930's, so my childhood memories revolve around listening to the wireless, and sh!tting bricks at the sound of air raid sirens..

Ok, I'm not that old, but Thundercats and Ninja Turtles were after my time, and by the time 'Saved by the Bell' was broadcast in the UK I was too old to think 'Screech' was funny. I just wanted to stamp on his head!!

No, my memories are of Fingerbobs, Mary Mungo and Midge, and the gloomy melancholy that was 'Bagpuss' Americans wont know what the hell I'm talking about, but Bagpuss is basically the reason so many kids these days are being raised by depressed parents with no ambition. The music and the image of the lonely depressed and neglected child that owned and loved 'that saggy cloth cat' was etched into the minds of children up and down the country. Thatcherism also played an obvious part in the current malaise among youth, but it's mostly down to that f***ing cat!

I almost forgot about "Happy Days." We also had the Fonz!

I remember all of that. My buddy and I still sing the Run Joey Run song.

I was thinking something between legos and Ninja Turtles. I still have 5 huge boxes of legos, must be well over 12 kilos of them, and I do build with them occasionally. Though I used to have every possible turtles figurine. I saw every possible episode. or as far as I can remember. But as turtles was something more personal, and legos was something more of the social kind, I gave my vote to the turtles. You see, I always played with legos only with my brothers and sisters, never alone.

NINJA TURTLES!!!

I remember back in late 80s and early 90s  while i was living in my birth place,Sarajevo before the civil war,i used to watch on my satellite Ninja Turtles,Transformers,Schtrumfs..Good old days..

Here a few scenes from "Raumpatrouille" ("Space Patrol"), the tv-series I remember from my childhood. Enjoy!

And this is something special: A video someone made to the title music by cutting scenes together. Look at the funny way they all dance in the Starlight Casino!
The music is of course heavily overdubbed; the organ, however, is part of the original soundtrack, as are the brass parts.

Rentaghost!

Very bad, now I come to think of it, but strangely fascinating at the time...

And Pole Position I used to like too, for some odd reason.

I agree about Bagpuss.  My cousin puts on Bagpuss videos for her son even now.

Shows how things have moved on - that's not a toy - it's a still from the actual series; good old stop frame animation, eh?

Where's Ray Harryhausen when you need him?
