[unionjack1]

I remeber living in a house with a park behind it. It was great, I would just spend hours after school just mucking about and doing silly things like climbing trees and chasing ducks (there was a pond too) and even eating bugs (hey I was 5!).

[lil el]

[row]

1. fraggle rock (thinks thats what those crazy puppet things were that lived under ground :) - the drummer was the coolest-- if anyone else remembers can you tell me what they were called if I'm wrong)

2. The sound of music

3. The labrynth

4. The dark crystal

5. Ninja Turtles

6. Willow


NB: My mum never let us watch anythign that she classified as scary such as terminator or gremlins but encouraged us to watch things like the dark crystal........ go figure

[Hinny]

Music- New Kids on the block, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Guns n Roses, Faith No More
Movies- My Neighbour Totoro, Laputa Castle in the Sky, Nausicca of the Valley of Wind, Kiki's Delivery Service (so lucky to have been introduced to the genius of Miyazaki at a young age. Disney just doesn't compare)

Also spent AGES reading Japanese manga comics.

You are correct they show was called fraggle rock and they were called fraggles....that was one of my favourites.....actually all of the ones you said are expect sound of music....also loved annie, petes dragon, willy wonka and the choc factory and wizzard of oz!! we must be similiar in age i reckon

[row]

I was going to put wizard of oz (like the black and white one-- where they live in that cool old barn?!?!) but I thought everyone in here would just go wtf???

charlie and the choc factory was the goods.... i have this will to go and see the new one but I fear I will be caught by someone I know

I also watched return of the dead when I was a littlie which scared the absolute bejevas out of me..... i watched it when my parents went away and left me and my brother at a friends place...... seriously bad...... I couldnt sleep and ended up sleeping in the parents bed (the friends who were looking after us)....... I WAS LITTLE

[jadeox]

i loved britney spears :eek: i'm sooo ashamed :(

[row]

and i love the old warner brothers things that come on at the beginning of movies ....like road runner.......... but kids dont find them funny now

technology hey

[Cactus]

I live across the road from a massive reserve.
Played there every day! rain or shine. Cubby houses, bike riding. It was the best.

another memory. Drying myself infront of the wood heater on cold winters nights.

hmmm being scared of the ghost train under my bed.

Cactus

[Cactus]

Oooh and 1 more thing.


THE MIRACULOUS CITY OF GOLD

Does anybody remember this? THink it was on ABC?

It was the coooooooooolest!I remember the start, I was like 5 or 6.

[Hinny]

Have you ever, ever felt like this,
When strange things happen,
Are you going round the twist?

[Hinny]

This is a story about an ordinary teddy bear. When he was made they found something wrong with him and threw him away, like a piece of rubbish, into an old dark store room. Then from outer space a spotty man brought him to life with his cosmic dust. He took him to a magic cloud where Mother Nature gave him special powers. That bear became... SuperTed!

television: Beverly Hills 90210, Super Ted, The Smurfs, Monkey Magic, Punky Brewster, Round the Twist, Care Bears (i was little.)

music: i was a massive Kylie Minogue fan. I changed my name to Kylie at one stage. I also liked Mariah Carey :o

mostly though i was doing some form of sport on most days of the week (swimming, ballet, running, netball, basketball, soccer, surf club etc.)

haha and my best friend and i + a few others started a "Spy Club". we used to spy on twins we didn't like that lived down the road. ahhhhh fun times :)

[Hinny]

I rocked out to the TMNT theme song.

[:: katie b ::]

round the the twist, grease, willy wonka and the chocolate factory, humphrey, milo and otis, ninja turtles, lego, roger ramjet, super ted (as well), spot and that show AMAZING...

[Hinny]

If I had musical ability and started a band, I would so call it The Roger Ramjets.

Roger Ramjet and his Eagles
Fighting for our freedom
Fly through and in outer space
Not to join him but to beat him.

Roger Ramjet he's our man
Hero of our nation
For his adventure just be sure
And stay tuned to this station.

Come and join us all you kids
For lots of fun and laughter
As Roger Ramjet and his men
Get all the crooks they're after.

Roger Ramjet he's our man
Hero of our nation
For his adventure just be sure
And stay tuned to this station.

[:: katie b ::]

[Hinny]

I only did superted and roger ramjet. Then I switched over to The Prize is Right or Wheel of Fortune.

I was in the A*M*A*Z*I*N*G crowd once. I remember thinking to myself, jeez these people are stupid. The key is sitting right there in front of your eyes, you tool.

[:: katie b ::]

my best mate from primary school had this quilt once, that was an alphabet... like on the a there was an apple etc.... and we used to lay it out on her floor and pretend to be on amazing. it was so faaaaaanny.

then, we got all creative and like, i'd say to her, spell "edakerykryasdrjkuy". so fanny. and do u remember sometimes on the show, the kids would press the right button but it wouldn't light up...? like they didn't press it hard enough or something. so fanny, we used to do that too.

dear i just let out a massive childhood memory... :o

OMG FLASHBACK!

[row]

ABC was definately the goods.


I loved punky brewster

what about the never ending story? I loved that one too.

Wambles of Wimbledon

The magic pudding

Did anyone read the books henny penny and foxy loxxy??? Or am I too old for you guys?

[maiizhigh]

Did anyone read the books henny penny and foxy loxxy??? Or am I too old for you guys?
i read henny penny.its so a children's classic; besides books are forever :)

[row]

OK it is a classic but just didnt know if it was still the going rate so to speak.



what about those funny things they had on the abc in between programs? They were like these play-dough people who spoke some weird language....think it was a guy and a girl...... one was yellow I think?!?! I use to watch them whenever I was home sick

[life is peachy without me]

hahah those guys rocked.....and the little penguin dude

[life is peachy without me]

[QUOTE=row]omg ...t-bag and t-shirt...... what was that from???

ABC was definately the goods.


I just found it.... the actual show was called T-Bag.... it was about a young girl who had to hunt for missing letters around the neighbourhood (possibly further?). These were actual letters that I believe she would put together to form a word once she'd located them all.

There was also a lady (possibly a witch?), who had a young boy bring her a cup of tea, which she would look into and watch what the young girl was doing.

[row]

Pingu!!!

I remember going backpacking through scandinavia and I heard these old men on the bus speaking in that language.....it freaked me out..... I think Pingu is in Finish

[row]

t-bag.... hmm
Its coming back to me but I keep getting the memory confused with that show passions!?! weird but I think I remember the t-bag show


trap-door was another funky one.... I love play-dough things

[life is peachy without me]

guess you liked gumby then :)

[row]

was gumby that green thing? I think it came out later :)

[life is peachy without me]

what about noddy does anyone remember him?

[row]

who doesnt rem noddy?

Noddy was so rude it was taken off air

[Cactus]

What about:

Teeny weeny super guy.. or something? he was on breaks during sesame street or something. Used to hoon around on an egg beater? Around the kitchen?

And what about that family or plastacene (cant spell) people. No I dont mean gumby. Before his time. there was a blue man with a beard, a girl with a foil dress???

And what about that man that was a line... a hand was drawing a line and it would turn into a man walking up steps, or falling down running, what ever?

Remember?

[Falling]

Captian Planet - he was my hero...'gunna break pollution down to zer'!!! Hehehe i still remember it like yesterday...

[Baby Grand]

haha ok Captain Planet was THE BEST!!! Nobody's mentioned The Chipmunks, Postman Pat, Banana Man, Bangers n Mash, Widget The World Watcher, Baba (the elephant) & The Little Mermaid!! OHhhhhh & Tin Tin n The Goodies!!!

Later childhood i remember, Alex Max, Rugrats & Heartbreak High!!! Oh my goodness this is weird eh!!

omg inspector gadget, alex mack. forgot those. AND WHAT ABOUT GHOSTWRITER. hahaha awesome show that one was.

[Tinkers]

this stuff is awesome;

super ted, amazing, agro’s cartoon connections, milo and otis, Alex Mack, old school Round The Twist. so many fond memories. I used to fully look up to Alex Mack and i used to wear my hat backwards to be like her, but she looks like such a little kid in that photo now!

what about Ghost Writer? (we dont know where he came from...he just showed up one day!) or Videit- that cool game show? and that couch potato show on saturday mornings where they’d do the Spud Review of Morris Gleitzmen books and stuff. Puddle lane was great as well, but there was a thread dedicated to that a while ago.

i wonder if little kiddies these days are going to be able to look back on tv with the same nostalgia when they grow up. like, High 5 and stuff. i just cant see new shows having the same sort of meaning that early 90s shows did.

omg! can someone else actually talk more about that show where they poured green slime on people? i never understood what was happening or why people were getting slimed, but i remember really liking that show.

[Tinkers]

AND WHAT ABOUT GHOSTWRITER. hahaha awesome show that one was.
damn you beat me. good that someone else remembers it but. i thought that was so cool, especially when they'd have Rallies at Jamal's house or Lenny's house. I once tried keeping a case book to solve their mysteries...but it never felt as fun doing it at home compared to how they did it so suavely on the show

[lozzy]

omg inspector gadget, alex mack. forgot those. AND WHAT ABOUT GHOSTWRITER. hahaha awesome show that one was.
haha i loved this too!!
ahhh what a great thread :)

[lil el]

who remembers sailor moon?! i loved it!!!! and Aurthur!!

oh oh!!! and the smurfs and rocky and bullwinkle! :D

Ohhhh Ghostwriter that show was kwwoooool.

Hey what was that australian show, it had a really weird looking doll with no face n a flower with an eye in it ?!?!? Was on Sundays i think!!!

[row]

sailor moon-- was that the asian cartoon? I also liked that

the slime show---- remember how they'd make people eat REALLy really grose things..... I think they had like a quiz or something and if you got things wrong you got slimed or whatever......

What about that guy with the moustache and the deer stalker who use to talk to his mouse???? It was on the ABC....... I'd be really suprised if anyone else remembers that show.....its ancient.. ...... I think it was mainly on during week days for schools and stuff.....

THE SMURFS!! they were the best show eva.... i cant believe they got rid of it off TV :(

[thatgirlmichelle]

I loved Alf, Bangers and Mash, Raggy Dolls (I think that's right...?), Banana Man, Captain Planet...and Play School. OMG my brother and I used to get so upset if we missed Play School! And of course we loved Round The Twist. It used to be on at 5pm, but that was when our dinner was always ready so we'd always miss the first 10 minutes of it. Man, one of the happiest days of my life was when we got a new TV and we moved our old one into the dining room LOL.

Music wise...Spice Girls, Hanson, John Farnham (yeah, I have nooo idea why :rolleyes:) and any other horrible pop music lol. All of those dodgy 90s one hit wonder pop groups. Ahh, brilliant :p.

I remember always eating vegemite sandwiches. I still love them now. If we had money we'd go to the corner store and buy warheads and ghostdrops. They actually banned both those lollies from my school. I never liked Milo, but I used to love strawberry NesQuik.

[what]

i had a deprived childhood. my mum wouldnt buy nutella. all the kids at school used to have nutella sandwhiches, and i would pretend that my vegemite was nutella, just to be cool.

same. nothing i made turned out as good as his though. except once. some bookmark thing, when you pulled it (it was in a book), it would make a mouth open or something. i think i still have that bookmark somewhere.

i was always in awe when he did his big pictures. one mistake and the whole thing would've been ruined. he never stuffed up though.

[what]

he was a true artist. i made something once. a spring thingy made out of paper.

[Chrissie]

I remember making cards. Everything else turned out crap. It was cool how he did everything so fast and so well! It was interesting :D

Music: MJ, New Kids on the Block, MC Hammer
TV shows: Puddle Lane, That trapdoor show... Degrassi, 90210 (because my folks wouldnt allow it :p)
Memories: trip of a lifetime to the states and then fiji when i was 10
my 7th bday (dont ask me why I just felt bloody good on this day)
numerous bday parties to lazer zone and go carting
first kiss in the unisex bathrooms with Lauren Mcmahon (yes i still remember her name :p) before the second grade end of yr extravaganza
numerous grand final victories in soccer and baseball

[Miss Fishy]

My childhood was eclectic.

I used to watch startrek with my parents (beat me with the geek stick now), And Dr WHO! I grew up with Queen, Cat stevens and the beatles. Then i got into silverchair, spicegirls (their still cool damn it- they were never meant to be taken as serious music! GIRLPOWER!) backstreetboys etc

My fav films were: Yellow submarine, muppet treasure island, Willy wonka and the chocolate factory (not charlie. the book and new movie are charlie. The marketing gimmick of the old film was willy wonka ;) ) Dragonheart james bon and indianna jones. I was sick of Bakc to the future, and still cant bear to watch it.

TV shows? Alex mack rocked my rocks. As did 'as told by clarrissa' or whatever that one was called (melissa joan hart, also known as sabrina teenage witch). I loved amazing, but timemasters never had the same charm. Carebears were cool. Rugrats were awesome (much better than the new shows) Playschool was cool. Blinkie bill!! I used to watch Gumby too... and 'whose afraid of the dark'

I played with polly pockets. i loved them. Had like, 22 of them. The new ones just dont cut it... the doll is almost the same size as the friggin old caseing. That and my lil pony. i had a few barbies, but polly pockets and starcastles were more my thing.

Books? What'd you read? I was into the babysitters club in a big way. And there was no going past the infamous genius of REoald dahl. still one of my favourite authors.

Ohhhhhh Who remembers 'trapdoor?'

[Chrissie]

omg :eek: .........you had 22 polly pockets? lolol. dammmmmmmn that is a lot :D

[Hinny]

Pokemon? Now all we need are warhammer 40000, magic the gathering cards, razor scooters and tamagochis, and we're just set for the final showdown of stupid kiddie fads!

[Hinny]

Childhood eh?

1. The first time I binged, at 14, 15? Kissed a dog. Threw up for 3 hours.
2. Year 7 trip to Jenolan Caves. 30 of us packed inside a room for 3, watching Sex/Life. 12, 13 year olds, feeling horny for the first time. Pity it was a boys school.
3. 1989. Been in Aust for a few months. First game of rugby league, the grand final between Raiders and Tigers. Ohhhhh yeah. Go the Green Machine!

[STUIE]

5 years old walking down to the papershop every saturday morning with my grandfather coz I knew if I went he would buy me any lollie I wanted. Those were the days.

[Missah]

1. Going to see my old friends who lived down the street.
2. Breakin my arm in 3 different places. (ouch it was so friggin painful)
3. I dont know but there were things.

[Kel]

- My friend and I being scared shitless in my house at night, because the wood pattern on the hallway door looked like a face. We thought it was a ghost and used to scare ourselves so much we couldn't sleep.

- Another friend and I ate spaghetti for lunch then we played horse rides in the loungeroom. I was being the horse and she spewed up spaghetti all over me....I ran into the bathroom and jumped head first into the bath full of cold water!

- My friend and I telling our mum's we were getting fit riding to the beach every night. Instead we went halves a packet of cigarettes every night and sat down the beach and smoked the whole lot, then rode home feeling so sick with massive head spins!

and.... I actually went out with a tree in primary school... No joke... it was my boyfriend and I used to kiss it and recess and lunch.... I know I think I have problems ....

[adelaide]

Once i did something wrong and i climbed a tree and got onto the roof of our house and my mum came outside looking for me, and all she could hear was me giggling, and she told me to get down. When i got down she had the wooden spoon out to smack my arse..when she swung to hit me i moved and she swung into the air. I got hit harder when she made contact and the wooden spoon broke on my arse and my mum cracked up laughing!!!
Probably around the same time i used to pack an old suitcase and tell mum i was going to Child services to report her and she used to ask if she should look the phone number up for me.
Hilarious when i look back!! those were the days...hehe (mum gets out of jail in 7 years...) ;)

Childhood memories.... *sigh*.... Enid Blyton Books seem to stand out and I remember climbing up to the top of my tree (at age 6) and envisaging I was amongst the clouds and visiting some far away place. Also, 'boxes' (activity kits) when I was in infants (yr1 from memory) was also something I enjoyed doing. Finally the bevvy of tv shows watched at an early age also stand out. Some which I can recall include... Puddle Lane, Trapdoor, Super Ted, Victor and Hugo, Sootie and friends and The Hunter. Oh and Voltron and GI JOE (videos and toys) were also cool :D.

[Casey Q]

one memory i have from when me and my sis were little and we used to take all mums fruit and veg out onto our driveway and make a little shop, and we would sell all of mums fruit to our neighbours! i don't know if they really wanted the fruit or if they felt sorry for us and just bought it cause of that! either way it was the good old days!

[lil el]

thread hadn't been deleted.

[Soul_Surfer]

ah, how good are childhood memories!!

1. getting up at 6am on a saturday morning to watch all the cartoons on TV, then spending the rest of the days with my brothers climbing trees, building cubby's, or taking off on our BMX bikes and making new jumps etc
2. Being obsessed with Brendon from 90210 (haha..how sad. I loved him and my best friend loved dylan.......), and also obsessed with GOOSEBUMPS books
3. trying to pee off the verandah like a boy (cause my brothers were doing it) and failing...

good times!

[funky monkey]

i wish i was four again....
i remember playing out side with guns and have little battles with my bro and my imaginary friend
at dinner time i use to make mum set out an extra plate for my imaginary friend and i'd always say that she wasn't hungary when she didn't eat her dinner
i remember how i use to want to be a boy coz i had no friends that were girls
and this one time i ran off down the road & found some wire so i tried to engrave my name on a tree, it was next to the road an it was really obvious! so when my mum got home she went on and on about graffitee and how i was vandelising... but when my dad got home he told me to use a hammer and a chizzel so it'd go deeper and look better... mum wasn't happy
