Garbage Pail Kids

The way things usually work is like this: first comes a blockbuster movie, and then comes an avalanche of merchandise. For the Garbage Pail Kids, however, it’s sort of in reverse. First came the really cool stickers, and the came the, errr, movie. To be perfectly honest I think the movie definitely belongs in the […]

The Flumps

The Flumps is the story of a close family of fluffy fur balls, probably coughed up by a cat somewhere. There’s no other way to describe them. I had a friend who when she was younger thought the Flumps lived in the overflow pipe of her toilet. It’s worrying to think that a kids program […]

Fingerbobs

Yoffy lifts a finger… and a surreal episode is born. This was the thing about the seventies. People had just got over being permanently high in the sixties and discovered reality, so decided to bring back surrealism through television. Take one person who is severely removed from reality, give him a pair of scissors and […]

Family Ness

We all know about the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. Well, actually there is more than just one monster living in famous Scottish Loch, but a whole family of them. One day, the two children of the loch’s owner, Elspeth and Angus come across a huge mound next to the loch. It turns out […]

Ewoks

Every successful film has to have a cartoon spin-off. It’s the law! And Return of the Jedi is no exception. Obviously since this is a kids cartoon, we can’t very well concentrate on the story-line of Luke wanting to get off with his sister, so let’s follow those loveable little fury vicious ankle biting creatures, […]

Dungeons And Dragons

It’s the usual story. You start of the day pretty good, decide to pop along to the local fare because you’re feeling a tad bored and decided to have a go on a Dungeons and Dragons ride. As you all know though, things can go wrong. Despite the thousands of safety checks carried out on […]

Dogtanian And The Three Muskehounds

It was the story of d’Artagnun and the three Musketeers originally written by Alexander Dumas, but with a slight twist. It’s been put into a format so little brats would sit down and watch it. It’s a cartoon and all the characters are animals (most of them dogs), hence DOGtanian and the Three MuskeHOUNDS. Good […]

Defenders Of The Earth

Based in the year 2015, the Earth as per usual is under constant attack. Things just don’t change, do they? Anyway, all would be lost if we didn’t have our lovely superheroes. And who do we have this time, the aptly named Defenders Of The Earth. The question is though, suppose the moon is inhabited […]

Dastardly And Muttley

This was the show with many names. Most people know it as Stop The Pigeon, some just called it Dastardly and Muttley, but in fact (and I’m sure someone will tell me if I’m wrong), it was actually called Dastardly & Muttley in their Flying Machines. Meet the Vulture Squadren, headed up by Dick Dastardly, […]

Danger Mouse

The Earth is in constant danger. Someone is either trying to blow it up, or take it over. The only thing that keeps the human race going is the fact that we don’t know about it. Some would complain that we are being kept in the dark, but to be honest it’s the best way. […]

Charley Says

Charley says meeeoweeeowmeeeeeowwwwwww. Absolute classic! And they complain about the teletubbies talking rubbish. The guy who did the voice of Charley must either be very talented, or a certifiable nut. If you have no idea what I’m going on about, let me explain. Think back to your childhood, and I’m sure you can remember the […]

Captain Caveman

Set free by the Teen Angels from his pre-historic block of glacier ice comes the worlds first super hero, Captain Caveman. Now the constant companion to the Teen Angels; Brenda, Dee Dee and Taffy, in their hilarious and sometimes scary mystery missions. Get ready for Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels! If the phrase “Cavey-wavey” […]

Banana Splits

One banana, two bananas, three bananas, four… Eek! Despite the fact that I am allergic to bananas I will continue. In the mean time can someone call for an ambulance please. This was a bit of a strange on from Hanna Barbera because it features live people, and which is not their usual thing. OK, […]

Bod

Here comes Bod… Run! Run for your lives. Leave the children, they can run by themselves. Just run! Not wanting to lower the tone, but this program is seriously f**ked up! The main character, Bod, is a small bald kid wearing a dress. Let me rephrase that, Bod is a small bald BOY wearing a […]

Bertha

Bertha, lovely Bertha. You are a lovely machine, and anyone who works with you will know what I mean. Name me one machine that you would call lovely. In my mind, anything mechanical equals disaster. Anything that is electronic is just asking for Armageddon. Put mechanical and electronic together and you get Bertha. Bertha is […]
