sorry i also meant to ask if people could help clear up what these programmes are if you know.

 

Don, yours i know,

Vinnie, Throttle and Modo and also sometimes Modo's nephew Rimfire and their version of april from tmnt was Charlie

 

The main bad guys were Limburger and Greasepit. Limburger was from Pluto

Wow, haha.. just reading their names has brought it all back. Which one was Modo? was he the one with sunglasses? I remember one had antennas ( vinnie ) one had an iron arm, and wore blue armour, and one had a leather jacket i think, with sunglasses.

 

 

Sorry, they all had antennas, just his were red.

in this pic, throttle's on the left, vinnie in the centre and Modo' on the right.

Throttle was the leader, Vinnie was the wild guy and Modo was the strong guy

 

Oh, I remember another show about a young lad who could stop time with a watch...

can't help you with that one

 

But i remember another one,it was english and was about this girl that would open her purse or wallet and there'd always be money in it, also i think that whatever she bought was'nt good for her (i could be wrong there)

 

another english one about this kid that finds an ancient burial site and inside a flying craft used by the druids (i think), and it had a cloaking device and he used to fly to school and park it on top of a school shed. how nobody saw him climb onto the shed and then disappear into this cloaked machine i'll never know

Do you mean Road Rovers? Was just talking with my little sister about this show the other day, neither of us could remember the name and it took me like a half hour of internet searching to find it.

It was a pretty funny show for what it was.

Speaking of vague, short-lived and admittedly strange cartoons, does anyone else remember Capitol Critters? It was the unholy union of Stephen Bochco (yes, Hill Street Blues/NYPD Blue Stephen Bochco) and Hanna-Barbera that was about the mice, rats and insects who live in the White House walls.

I've never even heard of Road Rovers. I remember Biker Mice being on TV but I was pretty much not interested in cartoons at that stage.

 

The watch that stops time thing sounded familiar and I thought I knew what it was but then it hit me I was thinking about Clockstoppers, a film directed by the dude that played Riker in Star Trek with the same premise.

 

I'd also like to FHD myself for knowing so much about Clockstoppers without ever seeing it. I remember seeing the trailer play before Big Fat Liar at the movies.

Posted

That trailer for Clockstoppers actually made the movie look pretty cool. I almost gave it a chance because Frakes did such a good job with First Contact but...no.

I really want to see that one, I cant remember much useful except that it was probably Canadian. I remember a few other things about it, I think the kids were Fascist and kind of dressed like the were in a crèche in a Goth club.

Oh man... I have a vague recollection of this aussie show that dealt on a beach... tornados... or something... and a lighthouse? I think it was one of those mystery shows for kids... kinda like Ghost Writter! or not... :welcome:

 

 

OMG! Creepy Crawlers!

 

oooooh and how about MIGHTY MAX! wow... can't believe i remember this one. You konw, the one about the kid who has a chicken as his guide. "fowl actually."

yes sb that's it, thank you. that one was killin' me.

 

Wait...is it the Tribe?

Yes, yes it was thanks

That was Round The Twist, I loved that show.

I remember the theme song,

 

"Strange things happen, when you're goin' 'round the twist, something, something, something, when you're goin' 'round the twist"

 

I remember another one about this family living in an underwater station. A mother and two sons, who befriend a girl who lives on a tropical island, and the girl was hot and she wore rags and she was hot

Posted

Well... they weren't that scary but yes.

 

Speaking of scary(or not)... remember Tales from The Crypt Keeper on HBO.. I think I remember watching a couple of times as a kid...

Posted
Wait...is it the Tribe? That was the worst show ever.

 

Also there was another show exactly the same as that albeit less teen-angsty.

 

No not the tribe, not by a long shot, this one was set in a kind of industrial alternative dimension, as far as I can remember it was like a cross between Return to OZ and a Nine Inch Nails video, you know, for kids.

 

ASC, you could only be talking about Ocean Girl. Quality Aussie soft porn made with teens, for teens, and their dads.

 

Now here's one I'm trying to remember. It was a UK quiz show with a medieval theme, where teams of kids would answer questions, and with each wrong answer they would get drawn little by little into torture devices such as iron maidens and giant mangles, after which they are never seen again. No one seems to remember this, I'm starting to believe that it was all a dream. But what a dream it would be, die Englanders, die!

Posted

Ocean girl it was, i loved her. i wish i remembered that quiz show but alas no.

 

I remember another one about this kid that used to jump between parallel earths, like a kids version of sliders.

I remember one episode where he jumps to an earth where there are no kids 'cos in the sixteenth century some virus was killing people, and the cure made everyone immortal but they could'nt have kids.

 

another one i vaguely remember, english i think, about two kids i think and an evil witch type woman and something got to do with rings and the witch's helper was called teabag.

 

oh yeah also an irish power rangers thing, where a group of irish people use celtic type powers and suits to stop dragons and stuff
