Views: Classic kids tv shows, which ones the best?

I had a smile and a half listening to Chris Moyles on the journey into work today as I was singing along to one of my favourite tunes of my childhood... Ducktails!!!

Yep, that's right, as Moylesy quite rightly pointed out, one of the current hits in the radio one playlist (cant recall its name) sounds like, but not as good as Ducktails! And I was overjoyed when he played the full version of this classic Disney tune.

So after humming the theme for the majority of the morning, I cast my mind back to those heady childhood days sitting in front of citv and cbbc (no cbeebies back then).
My time of childhood tv was in the mid 80s and looking back, boy was I fortunate to have it at such a peak time for kids tv.

Thundercats, Bananaman, Superted, Fraggle Rock, Inspector Gadget, Scooby Doo & Trap Door all amongst my prime tv pics.
It wasn't all cartoons though, Knightrider, Streethawk and the legendry A-Team all stay etched into my happy childhood memories.

One thing that does stand out when you look at all of the above is what made me think about this in the first place... the intro music. All of them have excellent music! If a compilation cd with those little beauties came out tomorrow - I would be straight into the nearest music shop (or at least itunes).

But what if I had to pick just one favourite? Now that wouldn't be easy!

After wracking my brain with this tough teasing thought for approx. 5hrs I decided it came down to two classics, one a cartoon, one a unique adventure game show.

2.


That's right Dangermouse - that majestic mouse with his bespectacled little friend Penfold battling against Barron Greenback.
Or, Nightmare - that classic show with the dungeon master hosting a team of kids who have to help their mate through a computer generated world without the understanding of the difference between left and right.

If I had to pick just one... Knightmare! Done.
