Born in the 80s kids tv noastalgia chat

[itscomplicatedlife]

I'm 36 and have such fond memories of great things shows from after school like art attack, how, fun house, byker grove! What happened to it all and live n kicking and smtv live on Saturdays!

I feel like now there are that many options people aren't watching the same thing so how do kids share their tv experiences? We only had 5 channels back then but it kind of felt like everyone was watching the same shows now fo kids just watch loads of stuff over differnt platforms? I have a young daughter and feel so sad she'll never watch fun house or the many amazing 90s shows there were for kids when I was young, or am I missing the boat, where is all the fun at for them nowadays??

@ThatIsUntilBertRaccoonWakesUp a🤣🤣🤣🤣 great timing!!

@Buttons294749 I wonder if we can get the raccoons reruns on you tube??

Clueless the scene when Dee accidentally gets on to the freeway!! The lorry bit 🤣🤣🤣 so funny!!!

Everyone used to watch Big Breakfast & Noels House Party too!

I loved Noel’s House Party! The gunge tank, grab a grand and Wait Til I Get You Home where they always got loads of prizes

I'm a bit older but we had some lovely things to watch like Jumbo Spencer, The Swish of the Curtain, King Cinder, Murphy's Mob, Stig of the Dump, The Famous Five, we had stories on Jackanory, cartoons like Top Cat, Hong Kong Phooey, Wacky Races & Scooby Doo.

Rentaghost had a great theme tune, I can still hear it now.

Pigeon Street was brilliant, especially Long Distance Clara.

It's so great to see everyone joining in on the reminiscing, just lovely to think back to good old times, had so much joy reading all your posts x x

Good for you. I've heard of them but I was never up that early if I could help it.

Just remembered Dinosaur. I loved baby Sinclair. Hope I still have the talking soft toy somewhere.

@Toddlerteaplease is the same as The dinosaurs?? With the baby one that sat in that high chair? I'm sure it was on same nihht as Rosanne 🤣

Yes. That's the one.

I think it's safe to say we all had an abs buzzing tv time bk in our day!!! I miss it so much too! I also miss going to video shop, where I live in Stoke on Trent it was Video World in Hanley! Huge video shop racked out by genre lol! It was just theeee most exciting part of the wknd on sat after tea my dad would say cmon kids were going to video world to get you kids some shoes! The excitement and the journey was the best! Miss those trips so much it isn't the same just always being at home having it at the switch of a button it's taken the fun out of it massively!!! The anticipation made the wait sweeter along with getting sweets from the shop too and maybe a slush puppie or bag of popcorn! Oh 90s I miss you so bad!!!

My dad used to walk us up to the top of town to go the video shop and the pizza takeaway. I drove past it the other day it's long gone. Such happy times and a simpler life.

Yes to so many of these!
