I'm really showing my age here - Mary, Mungo & Midge was a favourite (a young girl, a dog and a mouse who lived together in a tower block and spent most of their time in the lift). I also remember Mr Ben (he used to visit a fancy dress shop, try different outfits and go on amazing adventures via a portal in the changing room) and Crystal Tipps and Alistair (a psychedelic thing, no idea what it was all about, but it was colourful). Ahh, looking back, they were rubbish.

I was a child of the 70's and 80's myself so I remember things like Mr Benn, Mary Mungo and Midge, The Herbs, Rupert the Bear, Ivor the Engine, Cockleshell Bay etc.

Being a little older in the 80's I loved things like The Ewoks, Dungeons and Dragons, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Battle of the Planets and Count Duckula. I could go on and on and on .....

I also had a bit of a thing for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. " I HAVE THE POWER!!!!! " lmao

And they say children spend too much time in front of the telly, PAHH!

Hi there. Do any of you remember a cartoon about a boy who had adventures underwater with a killer whale I think and he also had another friend. I can see it, I remember the opening and the music. It would have been early 70's. Thank you

[Backdrifter]

Oy! Get those stop-frame and puppet shows out of here - it's about cartoons!

I loved the Looney Tunes stuff - Droopy, Foghorn Leghorn, and the one-offs that Tex Avery used to do. The early-to-mid-period Tom & Jerrys were good, but went spectacularly rubbish in the 60s. I understand that recent dvd issues have T&J re-edited for a modern audience - e.g. no black maid screeching "Thomas!", as that would now of course be considered unacceptable.

[trakcab]

Kazzarooney,was that Marine Boy

[natalie_1982]

And obviously more recently Backdrifter, the fact that Thomas has had to quit smoking would mean that they will probably release another set, without the black lady, or the smoking. Or anything that could possibly be mistaken for humour.

Cheers trakcab - the niggle has gone!!!
