What shows did you love to watch when you came home from School?

I think for the majority of us, when we came home from school we usually tuned in to watch; a pleasant reward after - in the words of Nostalgia Critic - "dealing with the mental scars of our tremendously flawed education system"

Bottom line, what shows did you guys like to watch?
I'll throw in a few I liked to see:

CITV: Bernard's Watch, How 2, Fun House, Art Attack, Jungle Run, Pokemon, Cardcaptors, Sooty & Co., The Worst Witch, Hey Arnold!, etc.
CBBC: Arthur, The Queen's Nose, The Demon Headmaster, Chucklevision, Come Outside, Aquila, Albert the Fifth Musketeer, Belfry Witches, Get Your Own Back, etc.

Also, here's N.C's review of the various "Disney Afternoon" shows.

On a final note, did any of you ever try to track down/re-watch any of these old shows?

The ones I've highlighted, although the Demon Headmaster...:eek: Even if I see that actor in other things I'm like "DEMON HEADMASTER!" I always wanted to go on Get Your Own Back haha. I also enjoyed The Animals of Farthing Wood (although a pretty brutal cartoon), Knightmare, Finders Keepers...that's about all I can think of at the moment, but if any more spring to mind I shall be back!
 
My Favorite Martian, Bewitched, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, I Dream of Jeanie. Yeah, sad bunch of shows I guess, but that's what was on. I was a kid and thought they were great.
 
I hated Chuckle Vision! There's something about the Chuckle Brothers I just hated! I also couldn't stand Grange Hill; I just couldn't understand why people wanted to watch a programme about life in a school after they've just been in one, school was the last thing I wanted to think about. 50/50 was another one I loathed.

I did like The Queen's Nose in the early days with the original cast. I loved Woody Woodpecker and Bernard's Watch. The Wild House was another good one. I remember Aqulia too! That was awesome!

I liked Chucklevision as a kid, usually only when CITV was playing a show I wasn't so fond of. Nowadays, I've seen a few episodes and I'm not fussed by it.Even Russell Howard made a joke about them:

That's one of the world's mysteries. How did the Chuckle Brothers
become children's entertainers?
You wouldn't let 'em near your children, would you?
Especially that gimpy one...
''Hello!''
Looks like he spends his entire life sniffing trampolines.
(Laughter, groaning)
''To me, to you!''
''Get the **** out of my garden!''

In regards to Grange Hill, I wasn't a fan but I liked the 90's theme song.

Yeah, the Queen's Nose and Woody Woodpecker were fun (Queen's Nose's Kaleidoscope beginning will be forever ingrained in my mind) although I don't remember the Wild House.
As for Aquila, I've spoken a few times on this forum about how I used to love that show. Seeing them go joy-riding in that alien spaceship looked like a lot of fun. :)

The early to mid 1980's were class for kids' TV.

Some of the best stuff was on the BBC, such as Johnny Briggs, Around the World with Willy Fog, and loads of other cool stuff. However over on CITV there was the Rod Hull and Emu Show, Knightmare, Danger Mouse, Rainbow (Even though Bungle was gay, George was camper than a row of tents and Zippy was annoying), and Let's Pretend, which as I recall starred the woman who plays Lisa Dingle in Emmerdale.
 
knightmare i was obsessed with as it was very computer gamey,chatter happy ponies,animals of farthing wood and pet rescue-the animal rescue show with a really cheesy theme tune and at the end of the show they would have a pet who needed adopted on,i would drag my mother to the screen to show her whenever a pony needed adopting,i was so desperate for my own pony but for obvious reasons [i couldnt look after he/she and lack of space] i was not bestowed the love of a pony. :'(

oh,and if it was on,arthur-i still love that show today and have downloaded a ton of them on my laptop.
 
I watched a lot of PBS Kids shows, including Arthur and Cyberchase. Then at one point I watched Disney Channel and especially liked Lilo and Stitch The Series.
