To think we need more programmes like The Littlest Hobo

There was no end to the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon... So a fan group produced their own final episode.

If you have sky there's a channel called great TV, father dowling, diagnosis murder, little house, highway to heaven, murder she wrote, mash , Randall and hopkirk all that sort of stuff . Otherwise you tube is probably the best place to get older shows

No, it's odd though, it's not like it's a rude word or anything. It doesn't have any worse connotations than "homeless person" or the now prefered "unhoused person".

But a lot of the language policing is like that.

I loved the Littlest Hobo, growing up in Canada it was on every day at odd times. I desperately wanted a dog like Hobo.

When I watch it now it is just so, so Canadian, that's nostalgic for me too.

Happy Days I didn't love as much but I did want to be cool like the Fonz when I grew up. I always pictured myself in a leather jacket with two bimbo girlfriends and a motorcycle. Growing up as a straight girl required some adjustment to my thinking.

The tv from the 70s and 80s does in some ways seem a lot simpler. Even the hard hitting stuff.

Because TV channels are old fashioned. Lots of this stuff is on BritBox or YouTube.

The Red Hand Gang.

Where were their parents????

Why can't there be a TV channel for programmes like this?

I loved 'Mysterious cities of Gold' back in the day. A bit older and I liked 'Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman' as a pp mentioned.

When I was much younger I liked 'Bagpuss' and 'Cockleshell Bay'.

Sunday was 'Little house on the Prairie', 'Land of the Giants' and 'Lost in Space' as well as Lassie and Littlest Hobo. I can almost smell a roast dinner cooking just typing those titles!

Children of The Stones was set at Avebury in Wiltshire, yes creepy

When I had my last baby , I rewatched dallas beginning to end , not as gentle viewing but very nostalgic .

When my daughter was a new born and I was up at 5.30 a.m., there was a channel on sky that should The Waltons at about 06.30 in the morning.

The emotion and exhaustion of being a new parent chimed really well with the wholesomeness and beauty of The Waltons, and left me with happy tears every episode.

When I recently had six /seven moths of poor mental health, anxiety and depression, watching old gentle programmes on YouTube really helped me.

Love Boat
Heidi
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn

I would recommend them for a bit of life affirming goodness.

We recently reached The Storyteller! Absolute classic!

In the same style as Night Rider, there was the motorbike version Street Hawk. Quite liked that back in the 80s.

My older brother would poke fun and called it Boulevard Budgie, the git.

Oh, yes, the tennis one - working class Barry Greaves trying to make it as a tennis player against the wishes of his depressed, unemployed dad, his school which only believed in team sports, and the snobby middle-class people he encountered on the tennis circuit. And his friend Lucy who had a really annoying older sister. Amazing TV, would love to see that one again but I've never been able to find it anywhere.

Lots of brilliant tv shows mentioned. It’s such a shame so many of them are off air now because they’d be perfect for my autistic ds.
i used to love Little House and the Waltons, and also Night Rider, The Incredible Hulk, and The A Team.

Was children of the stones, set in Somerset and very scary?
The joy of most of these was you got a whole story that neatly came to a conclusion. Babies were clearly identified and usually got their comeuppance and they had a strong message to be kind or tell the truth or whatever. No sex and no violence that frightened.

When I was a bit older I loved “The Love boat” which was ridiculously shmaltzy and “Fantasy Island”….

We can’t say anything anymore.

Point Break as well as Break in the Sun

Aah pigsy..loved monkey magic.

I remember Monkey Magic, that was a great show. And Robo Story.

Don’t think you can call homeless people hobos anymore

My husband and I are always saying that there is no really good TV for kids these days- classics with emotion, strong characters and great soundtracks that you could look forward to.
Some of my favourites were the Littlest Hobo, Dogtanian and the Three Muskethounds, Cities of Gold, Woof, the Waltons, Quantum Leap, The Gummi Bears, The Raccoons, Children’s Ward and Byker Grove.

Nope hated all the American sentimental twaddle that never had a proper ending. Clearly I still watched it but that's because of lack of other options at the time!

Now Rentaghost and Round the Twist, that was quality TV

Having bought a DVD of the Doctor Who I watched as a kid I would recommend NOT watching anything you have fond childhood memories of - adult me was shocked by how utterly rubbish 80s Doctor Who is.

I remember an animated show called "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home" being shown in the summer holidays, normally as the last show of the morning which I supposed was aimed at the older kids audience and some adults.
