Favortie kids TV of days gone by

[SMEE]

What rare cartoons and programmes do you remember as a kid that has long since dissappeared. I was remembering today the Oddball Couple cartoon with spiffy the cat (posh) and Fleabag the dog (mink). it was based on the TV series of the film the odd couple.

Other favorites were Goober and the ghost chasers (like scooby doo) and speed buggy (crime solving cartoon car). Wait till your father gets home sticks out in my mind as a kid too, but i associate it with pie supppers from chippy for some reason :017:

no Top of the Form ?

I know a bloke who was once on Why Don't You (just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead)

[SMEE]

Top of the form am not recalling.....but it reminds of of a programme called Screen Test form 70s-80s
