They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To

There is a great article at this site I just found called www.Babblebaby.com.au

It’s all about old TV shows that were on when I was a kid. Shows like The Goodies & Monkey Magic. Here’s my comment on the site:

Would I let my 3 & 6 year old watch these - You betcha. This is a slice of my childhood. Monkey and the Goodies are my favourite shows of all those years and I still watch them. Throw in Dr Who and you have every afternoon at my place. Monkey was a little violent for sure and who didn't hit their brother with a stick playing Monkey - I know did. Not only would I let my kids watch Noddy or Mr Squiggle or The Muppets, I would encourage it and probably enjoy sitting next to them to watch together. And isn't that the point - making TV a shared experience and not just a pseudo child minder
Cheers :)

These are some of my favourite shows of all time.
Throw in the following shows and you have a picture of my viewing habits as a kid.

• Dr Who
• The Smurfs – lord help me but I was late many a morning watching Smurfs
• Fraggle Rock
• Press Gang – I absolutely loved this show when it came out
• Battle of the Planets – we called it G Force – my brother Chris loved this the most

Many of these shows, especially on the ABC were repeated and repeated and we watched every episode over and over. They fell like old friends to me :)
