Top 10 Children's TV Shows

Everyone has their own favourite childhood memories, places they went, food their mother cooked, activities, friends, etc. But one subject that is easily discussed and shared amongst people born in similar decades - children TV shows ! Everytime I bring a recollection of a children tv show that I used to watch with a friend, most often we would end up trying to remember the others and talk about how good they were, etc. I am sure this sort of experience is rather common with everyone. Of course, you have to have your own personal favourites, everyone does - there is no exception with me. The ... more

With the shameless help of wikipedia here are my top ten children's programs. As I was only as big as a thimble when most of them were on telly it's only fair I research them to put names to faces, hands to puppets bottoms, Finger Mouse well and truly fingered by 'Yoffy'. I always wondered about Yoffy. Some of you older ones will know who Yoffy is and most of these and one or two of you will even remember them in black n white...as dose Totalserenity... #1 Rainbow 1972-1992 Geoffrey, the presenter of Rainbow and the man of questionable sexuality to some, actually lives near me in my hometown ... more

What a huge area this subject covers! It would be possible, indeed, simply to write down a review on "Top 10 Children's TV Shows I Used to Watch in the School Sixth Form in What I Considered at the Time to be a Sophisticated and Probably Also Postmodern Piece of Ironic Art but was Actually Pretty Embarrassing". But as that would probably crash all Ciao's computers and earn me the undying enmity of everyone here, I shall refrain. Instead, I will stick to programmes I actually watched as a child – and also to those that were intended as children's programmes. An important part of telly, and ... more

My top ten children shows are from the early 90’s period and so are of a different age to shows like Bagpuss and are older than the shows like Fimbles. They are also from when I was small at an age such as 3. Here they are in no specific order of favouritism: 1. Thomas the Tank Engine I always loved Thomas the Tank Engine because probably I had the same name as him. He was my childhood hero and I thought it brilliant how every time the show was on, there was a new simple structured story for the child to follow. Thomas the Tank Engine is the blue locomotive talking tank engine who along ... more

I was born in 1979, so I am reviewing the children's' programmes that I most remember as a child. Once I started writing, loads of programmes came back to me, so I have picked the ones that I enjoyed the most. It's just a shame that these classic children's shows are not bought back onto our screens, as I think that they were much more interesting than some of the current children's programmes. So here goes . . . My top10: 1. Button Moon This has to be my favourite children's' programme of all time! It came on TV around 1981 and my friend's used to think that I was mad, as they couldn't ... more
