Paid Members Cod Eye Posted May 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2019 Didn't they have the Toxic Crusader and Bill and Ted cartoons at one point too? Their weekend/school holiday kid's programming was a joy in the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Bill & Ted cartoon yes, can’t remember Toxic Crusader though. I want to say they showed Attack of the Killer Tomatoes aswell, but I could be getting that confused with BBC Saturday mornings Edited May 5, 2019 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Yeah BBC had Killer Tomatoes, think ITV had Toxie. Agree that 4 were kings of school holidays, I remember one line up had Tintin, 60’s Batman, Sesame Street, Pugwall then finished with the newer Pink Panther show where Pink talked *edit* just looked it up, Toxie actually aired on the long defunct The Children’s Channel, which went on to become Trouble in 98 Edited May 5, 2019 by RIDDUM_N_STYLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that! channel 4 also used to show Bug Juice and Boy Meets World. Classic times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 CITV trolling the entire child population of the UK by running Maxi's World (or whatever the fuck it was called) before Power Rangers. Get to fuck. Some kind of blonde high school girl driving around in a jeep and "adventures" like camouflaging spots on your face with tuna. (WTF). They ran the same episode two days in a row once. Torture. When is it morphin' time, assholes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 That Children's Channel was fair depressing. All I remember it showing was the same few episodes of Adam West Batman, Art Attack and Gigantor. We had cable here back then for a while and I remember getting up one Saturday morning and TCC had been miraculously replaced by Nickelodeon, with the likes of Renford Rejects, Alex Mack, Kenan and Kel and Are You Afraid of the Dark. Between that and Fifa 98 I became a right fat little fucker that summer. Holiday Channel 4 was a close second after Nickelodeon though. Boy Meets World, City Guys (great theme!) Malibu CA, and even proper guff like USA High. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2019 The Children's Channel (TCC?) was proper shit. Nickelodeon pissed all over it as soon as it came along, even in the earlier days with Weenerville and SPLAT! Did TCC end up becoming Trouble? When they had Engels shows galore plus Fresh Prince, it was a million miles better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatant cash in on the popularity of Saved By The Bell but I still loved it. I haven’t watched for nearly 20 so you’re probably right about it being shit. Edited May 5, 2019 by wordsfromlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as DJ Kat, but the novelty of a kids only service made it seem better than it probably was. That and I was 5.  It became Trouble in something like 1997, I think.
