TigerTedd Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 [size=4]I just read this on the Sun website:[/size] [size=4]http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/4270539/Saturday-kids-telly-isnt-what-it-TISWAS-The-demise-of-Saturday-morning-childrens-television.html[/size] [size=4]Starting getting me all nostalgic, and prompted me to make this comment:[/size] [size=4]"Now our daughter is nearly 3 I've become very aware of the rubbish kids tv. It's just milkshake on channel 5, which, as the article says, is just the same cartoons on a loop. I was really looking forward to my daughter excitedly getting up at 7 and happily watching Tele all morning, the way Saturday mornings should be. Although she can't get enough of peppa pig, its not the same as a bit of wonkey donkey. They must have suffered from specialist kids tv channels, but they're just a procession of cartoons, not the same as 3 hours of bedlam and gunk, and Trev and Simon. If anyone important is reading this, bring them back, or at least repeat the old ones, so our kids can share our Saturday morning memories, and us grown ups can get a lie in."[/size] [size=4]Also, to put it into a football context, Saturday morning TV is what filled the gap between waking up, and football focus. Now Soccer AM is as good as it gets.[/size] [size=4]My best memory of Saturday morning TV was winning a combined TV/VCR on the Joe Razz touch tone telephone controlled game on What's Up Doc. What's everyone else's?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Watched Soccer AM this morning. Its avearge now, was brilliant 5 years ago until Lovejoy left for a big pay day doing an mls show that nobody watched. It really is heartbreaking that I'm watching cookery shows and find them interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 BTW I won the first series of ER on Tom Manners' Radio WM saturday breakfast show! He's Sarah Manners' brother. Didn't get to meet her though, probably too busy with strictly! Don't think they give prizes out any more. All I did was identify "Rivers of Babylon" from the first notes.
