Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
I have been talking with a friend of mine lately who now has a child. Through our... erhm... chit-chat, the conversation eventually ended up on the difference between the children shows of nowadays and the ones we had when we were kids.
And I was wondering, just for fun, what was your favorite TV show(s) when you were a kid ?
On my side, even though I liked Transformers, I must say my favorite one was certainly G.I. Joe... For some reasons my mother didn't want me to watch it... But I did anyways!
An other show I enjoyed watching when I was a kid (even though it only lasted two seasons, and even though I generally hate Anime (I think most of Anime shows are made by some kind of weird-ass perverts in Japan)) was Sous le signe des Mousquetaires. But somehow I think that show never got translated into English.
That last show was a special order by the gouvernment in the late 80s (story doesn't tell if it was the Japanese or French gouvernment) to introduce kids to French literature... And it worked out great for me ! It got me interrested in both French and English literature. (Alexandre Dumas was good but Shakespeare was better.) Although for the ones who read the book, there were a few differences between the TV show and the book. (I.E. In the book, Constance is Bonacieux's wife, while in the show she is his daughter... Guess the producers didn't want to put a love triangle affair in a show for kids. Or, in the TV show, Aramis is a girl who disguised herself into a man to accomplish a vengeance while in the book... Well, Aramis is a man.)
Anyway... What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid ?
