Button Moon (my fav!)
Metal Mickey
Rainbow
Lets Pretend
Jamie & the magic torch

Playschool

I was born towards the end of 1989, but without a shadow of a doubt Thomas the Tank Engine was a very good show from the 80's!

Jamie and the Magic Torch
Chorlton and the Wheelies
Willo the Wisp

I love a load of the one's you have listed, especially Button Moon, but my all time fav was "Emu's Pink Windmill", I used to be scared to death everytime the doorbell rang with the fear it might be Grotbags (I used to hide behind the sofa[:I]), but I soon grew to love the big old green witch:D

Thats because it sucked after the early (81-82) seasons.

These were some of my favourites;

The Transformers
He-Man and She-Ra
Thundercats
Danger Mouse
T-Bag (played by Elizabeth Estensen)
The A-Team
Knight Rider
Rolf's Cartoon Club
Rainbow with George, Zippy and Bungle
Blue Peter
and of course, The Muppet Babies

Not 80's I know (I'm the same era as Scrooge obviously!)but I used to love the Double Deckers (anyone else remember it??).Other faves included
The Banana Splits
Robinson Crusoe (black and white- that they always showed in school holidays).
Rhubarb and Custard (I thought Custard was fab)
Magpie (cooler than Blue Peter)
How!
Magic Roundabout
Carries War

I loved SuperTed and still have my cuddly toy - well it's my son's really.

Richard, please remember that back in the good old days children were allowed to watch real television..I know this was the generation before yours...but yours was deemed unable to handle the realities of the world, so had to be wrapped in a comfy blankey and protected from all the big bad things they may see on television...which brings me back to mu OP...

Saturday....saturday...saturday...is TISWAS day

[RichardMannion]

Dave, did they even have TV during your generation?

Buns/HL - shame on you for living in the past. Next you'll be telling me that TV was shut down at 7 O'Clock so you young innocents could go to bed....

[Decker]

Speaking of Chorlton...

[Scrooge]

Yep...4 whole channels

Of course by the time I was seriously into TV Sooty had been kidnapped, tortured and finally hung drawn and quartered by SPG so you were had to watch re-runs [^][y]
