Hmmmmm.....trying to remember if we had tellie when I was a young 'un. Just kidding, but Fraggile Rock was one of my favorites when my kids were growing up. Tried to raise them all to be proper Doozers. I reckon this will date me, but Romper Room, Chez Elain and Mr. Dressup were the only ones we had to chose from. Oh yea and the one with Howard the Turtle...but can't remember the name of the show. Oh well.....too many brain cells lost @ Woodstock '69 Whistling [whistling]

Being a fellow old geezer I remember Howie The Turtle being on a show called Razzle Dazzle if alheimers hasn't settled into my feeble brain. I also used to like watching The Friendly Giant, The Pied Piper, Mr. Dressup, and The Banana Splits. My all time favourite was Sesame Street.

Razzle Dazzle....that makes me think of an old Canadian Osmond brothers ripoff, the Hudson Brothers.  Now that shows my age!

Mine would all be British so nobody would know them except for Doctor Who. Which, of course, I am still watching as they're still being made more than 40 years after they began!!

Good ol' CBC.

I really liked "Johnny Sokko and His Giant Flying Robot".  It wasn't a cartoon but a kind of Power Rangers prototype thing.

I remember Joe-90, Fireball 500, The Waterville Gang, etc. I used to watch those shows all the time.

You got Joe 90?????????????? Did you mean Fireball XL5?

Thunderbirds? Stingray?

Just remembered....when Doctor Who was on, the other channel (yes, that's right, just 2 channels in England then) had Lost In Space. It used to drive me mad...no VCRs in those days.

Oops, you're right. It was XL5. Thunderbirds and Stingray, too.

In that case, do you recall another puppet sci-fi series called Space Patrol? My internet researches have found a program so called but it's not the one I'm thinking of. I'm pretty sure the one I know was not a Gerry and Sylvia Anderson production like the others.

But like Fireball XL5, they had hover-scooters for exploring planets and the home city had loads of glass tubes for the 'cars' to travel through.

Just remembered an old classic. Tin Tin. In England. his dog was called Snowy. My wife says in Quebec it was Milou.

One of the male hosts on this show was Al Hamel,who went on to mary Suzanne Sommers of 3's Company.
