Everyone has become used to adrenalin filled, action packed filming and would rate anything else as boring. Just try watching programmes you used to love as you were growing up - they're so slow. Even *shock* The A Team!!!<br /><br />Still, I fondly remember Let's Pretend (no-on else ever remembers it) Cities of Gold and Phileas Fogg. *sigh*Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059486426006738357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-63541119043395517402010-02-12T22:00:47.703+00:002010-02-12T22:00:47.703+00:00Ahh, Woodentops - Spotty Dog... Clangers, Bagpuss,...Ahh, Woodentops - Spotty Dog... Clangers, Bagpuss, Pogles' Wood, Banana Splits, Belle and Sebastien, White Horses, Singing Ringing Tree (remember that?).... ah, I could go on and on... <br /><br />And Amy, we didn't take J. to the cinema much at all. We went to see "Thomas and the Magical Railway" first, then didn't go again for years. <br />J. only watched tv or videos under carefully controlled conditions too (and still does really). <br />You're so right about violence etc. I also object strongly to overly sexual images being pushed into kids' faces. Girls with almost no clothing, waggling their bums or boobs (or both!) into the camera... Why? How are they supposed to learn about balanced, normal relationships , if they get such over-the-top images and such muddled messages from the tv? I want J. to grow up to treat others with respect. How can he believe women want to be respected if he gets this sort of stuff shoved down his throat? For that matter, how can Girls believe it? Same goes for tv soaps, with over-dramatic plots that don't reflect real life at all. <br />Hmm, sore subject for me... I'm not a prude, but I def. dont' approve... Give me Bagpuss any day!!<br />Thanks Jo, for a great post.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-46133932802949875732010-02-12T21:21:54.358+00:002010-02-12T21:21:54.358+00:00Banana Splits .... hehehehe too funny, we had that...Banana Splits .... hehehehe too funny, we had that as well - actually, most of our shows originated in the UK. Was Playschool our version or do you have UK actors and UK themes .... sounds as though you did.<br />The channel Playschool is on has lovely shows, great themes and no violence and no adverstising .... we have deliberately kept our children's tv viewing pretty juvenile - they don't need anymore exposure to violence than what they will already be facing. We have not even taken our eldest to the cinema yet ... we are in the minority.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009119301336136337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-20456856472479220432010-02-12T20:47:18.832+00:002010-02-12T20:47:18.832+00:00This is such a cute post Jo.

Some of my memories overlap with yours, but I'd forgotten so much... Bagpuss was one of my faves, dear old catpuss :-) Must delve into the deepest (but not darkest, ahem) recesses of my memory and maybe do a post of my own!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing xxhumelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337055138734278353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-25314841348313405602010-02-12T13:09:33.302+00:002010-02-12T13:09:33.302+00:00Wow....you've really taken me on a journey of ...Wow....you've really taken me on a journey of children's TV nostalgia there,Jo.<br />So sad that Playschool is no longer with us....but even sadder [for me] is that I actually remember Andy Pandy and The Woodentops as well!!scrappyjackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761068895383717904noreply@blogger.com
