Childrens TV programmes

Hello everyone. Today i am going too be doing a blog on all the childrens TV programmes i used too enjoy. This may also give the readers some memories to. Due too the fact i had a pretty boring life as a child i might have too split this into two or three parts it just means even more too enjoy.

Teletubbies
This was my favourite programme as a child. I loved watching this every weekday. The programme ran from 1997 until 2001. There were many episodes all aimed at young people. My favourite character was LA-LA. Mostly because she was yellow and that was my favourite colour(at the time) and she had a cool orange ball which i wanted too play with all the time. I was even sad enough to have a doll of her which i never wanted to let go off. Something which was even better was the Bean chair i had. i would just sit on that watching teletubbies all the time. I know for a fact it drove my family crazy.
 

Barney
The purple dinosaur yeah!!!!! :). I also loved this show. Barney was so much fun and even though he was a dinosaur he was always friendly. He wasnt my favourite though. My favourite was his friend who was a green girl dinosaur called Baby Bop. Barney conveyed learning through song and dance. I even owned a barney live video. I would watch it when i was ill and it would always cheer me up. My mum knew everyword off by heart. 
 

Darkwing duck 
This programme ran from 1991- 1995 and then 1996-1997. The programme was based on a super hero duck whose alter ego was a single parent called Drake. Darwing duck was about a superhero and his sidekick and pilot launchpad. In his secret identity he lived with his adopted daughter. the programme was a spinoff of ducktales.

Doug
Doug is an american cartoon. the series takes place in the fictional town of Bluffington where doug funnie moves with his family and the show deals with his life. Doug is known for being shy and often clumsy. Doug is a banjo player. he also has a green skinned rival called Roger Klotz. Doug is known for having a crush on Patricia Mayonaise who has orange skin. The best thing about the programme doug in my opinion is his dog porkchop. I love the name and would be quite tempted too call my dog that.

Rugrats
This series premiered on august 11th 1991 and its last episode aired on june 8th 2004. The show is based on eight babies and thier everyday lives which turn into adventures in the childrens minds. Rugrats is known for being the longest running nicktoon. My favourite character had too be Chuckie. I loved his ginger hair and little glasses. he was a wee cutie. He was well known for being the reluctant one. he was always wanting too be safe. The leader of the group was Tommy Pickle. He was the brave member of the group. my least favourite character was Anjelica. Mostly because she was really mean too chuckie. They even have a star on the walk of fame. I didnt even know this and was really surprised but also very happy for some reason.


The reason i believe these shows appealed is because they are fun and lighthearted. Children like shows which they can relate too. Cartoons do these very well and have characters which children can enjoy and feel close too.

  1. AAH!! Nostalgia ain't what it used to be and all that, but this will strike a chord with anyone of your generation. I would like to read more about your analysis of WHY these shows appealed, but it is an interesting and well illustrated collection.
