Anyway. I thought I'd go into some seriously awesome nostalgic TV shows. Not so much kid's TV, but things I used to watch as a kid/young teenager. The Munsters being a big one! As some of you will probably know, my awesome girlfriend bought me 'The Closed Casked Collection' of the Munsters (basically the whole 2 series on DVD) just after Christmas. I'm yet to get through the whole thing, but it has brought back awesome memories. Then the other day I got a Danger Mouse DVD from Morrisons for £1 with 9 episodes on it. Again, I had and awesome nostalgia trip. Then I remembered Charlie Chalk. Oh man, I freaking LOVED Charlie Chalk as a kid. It was so awesome. Anyway, I think that this is a good place to stick in a bit of a Rob Gordon style Top 5 list....
....presenting....
.....MY TOP 5 NOSTALGIC TV SHOWS THAT I OWN OR REALLY FUCKING WANT TO OWN ON DVD!!!!!
#5 Peter Pan & The Pirates
What an amazing show. I remember very little about the episodes themselves, but who can ever forget this fantastic theme tune!?
#4 Dinosaurs
C'mon! You all gotta remember Dinosaurs!? It was amazing. A family of Dinosaurs dealing with life in
an almost Flintstones-esque show. C'ept it was guys in suits! There was the old wise cracking baby, the Homer
style Dad...it had everything!
#3 The Raccoons
"This is the Evergreen Forest...." Those words still strike a chord with me to this day! I bloody loved the Raccoons! Has there ever been a villain so evil as Cyril Sneer? I doubt it. Plus those little pigs who wore just jumpers and hats, but the jumpers almost looked like little dresses....what was their game?
#2 The Munsters
Already gone on about it a bit, but it was just awesome. Better than the Aadams Family by a long shot. Just so funny. Ahead of it's time in many ways too. I still find it as funny today as I imagine people did back int he 1950s when it was originally aired. If you haven't seen The Munsters then sort it our as soon as possible. Avoid the newer films and the series "The Munsters Today" that was made in the 80s. Not so good. The films with the Original cast are pretty cool. My personal favourite episode is the one in Season 2 when Herman does a rodeo and Grandpa is supposed to be disguised as the horse but there's a bit of a mix up...with hilarious results!
#1 Charlie Chalk
What happens when a clown goes out in a rowing boat in order to fish and sleep, then gets marooned
on a desert island? The best kids TV show EVER! That's what!
So, there you go, that's my top 5 things I watched when I was a kid. Kinda gave away the top 2 right
at the beginning. Oh well. Hope you enjoyed it! Leave comments with your favourites too, there are
probably loads of awesome shows I missed!
Catch ya soon.
