THE 90's!

airhead · 19 Apr 2004, 00:59

Okay, the eightes bit is over. You know you grew up the nineties when:

1. You remember PINGU.

2. NODDY was still made of plasticine

3. MR BLOBBY had a family: MRS BLOBBY and BABY BLOB

4. NOELS HOUSE PARTY was the thing to watch

5. When YOU' VE BEEN FRAMED was hosted by Jeremy Beadle in the revolving house

6. When CITV didn't have any presenters

7. When pokemon was a cult.

8. When the presenter from ART ATTACK had a mullet

9. If you ever remember watching FINDERS KEEPERS

10. When Telletubbies got in trouble for teaching kids not to speak

11. When ANIMALS OF FARTHING WOOD was one of the most bloodthirsty kids programmes

12. If you read the last edition of BUSTER (bring it back, for the love of god!

)

13. Windows 98 was a supercomputer

14. When THE DANDY and THE BEANO celebrated their 60th birthdays

15. When CATCHPHRASE had MR CHIPS (it still terrifies me i can't watch it it really scares me!)

by the way:

what colour was your shell suit?

Rob The Badger · 19 Apr 2004, 19:09

Ah. . .now this is the ticket. . .I remember all these.

KebLou · 19 Apr 2004, 19:11

The only one I can remember is Noddy and the Animals of Farthingwood, My little brother remembers the teletubbies, I never watched them.

Crystal Eyes · 19 Apr 2004, 19:13

I remember everything!

But I didn't like the tellytubbies. They made me feel normal.

You missed out. The 'Tubs (as they were affectionately dubbed by their fans) were very good. Their early experimental work pushed the boundries and merged several genres. However the shock revalation that Tinky Winky was gay, and did indeed have a tinky winky made sure they never released anything as risqué again. Shame, real potential, phenomenally deep lyrics.

Heli · 19 Apr 2004, 19:30

DID YOU PURPOSLY MISS OUT FUN HOUSE!!!

I THOUGHT IT WAS OUR RELIGION!!!!

I loved fun house!!! We used to get all the cushions on the setee and that used to be the gung pool! and we used to move the furniture about and climb all over it and stuff! we used to love it!!

Crystal Eyes · 19 Apr 2004, 19:36

FUN HOUSE!!

It was a baby TV programme, my lil cousin used to immitate them and still can't talk properly. I never liked them, I watched it once and told them not to let my lil bro watch it or my cousin did they listen 'NO' not till they noticed the effect it had on his speech.

Crystal Eyes · 19 Apr 2004, 19:46

Sorry to hear about your cousin Keb. I'll join you on the Tellytubby hating front!

Heli · 19 Apr 2004, 19:52

For a while, my cousin hand an american accent due to watching too many american kids programs!

Chris · 19 Apr 2004, 21:00

I am going to be all serious for a minute.

I fail to see how watching the Tellytubbies could make someone incapable of speaking correctly. There were a lot of stories in the newspapers when they first appeared warning of how it would affect a child's development. Surely they would learn correct speech from their parents playing with them. If they are affected by watching Tellytubbies then surely you should question why they are watching so much TV. Also, how many adults do you see wandering around incapable of saying anything other than "Flob" "Dob" and "Weeeeeeeeeeeed"!!!!!!!!!

airhead · 19 Apr 2004, 21:21

Oh yeah, I forgot fun house! SORRY!

I've got a watch with mother video here... (When I was little. Found it a few months buried under all the other crap we found in the attic) and Bill And Ben was on it. Flobba dobba dob! weeeeeeeeed!

Yep, I totally agree with you, right now I hardly watch any TV and my little brother knows more about whats on TV then I do. I think its amazing how many people just leave their children in front of the TV, I only watch TV when I think there is something of interest on.

KebLou · 19 Apr 2004, 23:31

Did everyone have the same Watch With Mother video? And the Animals Of Farthing Wood was one of the most violent kids show. How many animals died? I think that cartoon taught a lot of kids about Death

Fun House was great, apart from the go karts with the top speed of 2mph. That game was pants, how could anyone not get all the tokens?

Does anyone remember Dungeon Master? I remember that being quite scary when I was about 10.
