For me Casey jones, Popeye and the Magic Roundabout bring back memories. I even had my own words for Casey.
On the comedy front Ever Decreasing Circles was brilliant. I was supposed be like the guy Martin was jealous of....can't remember his name for mo.

He-Man and She-Ra, Thomas the Tank Engine and re-runs of The Good Life = EPIC
Singing Ringing Tree scarred me for life Verd....
Magic Roundabout - yes - brilliant! The Flintstones and Top Cat
Two Ronnies, the Good Life, M&W, too many to choose from!

Verdun fun thread
The man from UNCLE was my fav. Closely followed my Mr.Ed the talking horse, every time the wife shouted "Wilber" I used to chuckle. Did like SKIPPY..the bush kangaroo & Flintstones. Land of the Giants, first thing I saw in colour.
Comedy..Sooo many..today I'd say Open All Hours..or maybe not..Steptoe & Son..I could go on and on.
When I was a child we had an old black and white telly that you had to thump to stop the picture going down! Then when I was about 12, wondrous, we got a colour one.
When very small, I liked Bill and Ben the Flower Pot men. Comedy - Topcat, Popeye and Huckleberry Hound. We weren't allowed to watch lots of TV, but Blue Peter had parental approval! I wrote to Pussycat Willem once (shows my age) and Valerie Singleton wrote back.
Then I liked anything with horses in it, like Fury and Champion the Wonder Horse.
When I was older and married I liked the Good Life.
The Banana Splits every saturday morning.
I'm now going to be singing the Tra-La-La song all day
I loved Champion the wonder horse too, but I loved Count Duckular and Ivor the Engine when the dragons appeared. Watched the last two with my son.
Hey fairy girl did you see the comedy sketch of Singing Ringing tree by The Fast Show, look it up on Youtube!! so funny!
Space family robinson with Dr Smith and the Robot loved it !
Lost in Space gina!!
No I don't think I could look it up - I might have nightmares!!
Today I was hoping to be mostly eating cake....
Instead I've cleaned the wheely bin....I know how to live
