I was born in 79 so I ended up being a mid 80's show kid. My faves were He-Man, Voltron, and Thundercats for cartoons.

For tv shows it was The Dukes of Hazzard, and Knight Rider

How about,

Mork n Mindy

Knight Rider

Happy Days

Laverne and Shirley

My father and I used to watch The Rifleman every Saturday morning.

That's about the only one that sticks out in my mind as memorable.

the littlest hobo...



purely for the theme tune...

and this guy...?

Nothing beats David the Gnome....

youtu.be...

There was another show I remember but when I tell people about it they don't remember it.
There was a manikin, and he worked in a department store with a black lady. When his hat fell off he became a manikin but when the hat was on, he was a real guy. Then there was a mouse or some sort of animal that lived in a sock/scarf bin. Anyone recall that one?

Still a huge fan of the Honeymooners and the Stooges (before my time).

But do you remember Chico and The Man? Loved it.

Also Battlestar Galactica, Logan's Run and Mod Squad.

Ok, where shall we start;
Pipkins was great as a kid
Clangers, amazing that you could understand them whether you were english or not
Dangermouse brilliant cartoon
Tomorrow people
Bagpuss
Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green
Wombles

There are just so many to mention

And if you want a real trip down kids tv memory lane try this jedisparadise.com...

Not a kids tv show as it was on late at night but it was something like The Highwayman and he had a big black truck kinda like KITT from memory

Captain Scarlett yes but do you remember the bloody awful Captain Planet (he is definitely NOT my hero!).

Terrorhawks - oh my god, how did i forget that?

Good shout on the Littlest Hobo too......

In the early seventies my fave was HR Puffinstuff and scooby Doo ! Does anyone remember on Saturday mornings in the early seventies the song "sunshine lollipops and rainbows " played on something and it's perplexed my wife and I for years trying to remember what show it played on ???
