Advantages: good for memories.

Disadvantages: bit long

Well where do I start. There are so many to choose from. I'm still a big kid at heart and still love to watch cartoon every chance I get. Well here goes.

In at number 10 is my earliest memory of regularly watching a children's TV programme was Button Moon. I still remember most of the theme tune "where off to button moon, with a silver spoon, button moon" Ahh, those were the good old days. Can't remember any of the episode thou I was too young. Mostly I remember the little space ship and a spoon, but I loved it as a kid.

In at number 9 is another blast from my past its She Ra princess of power. I never really cared for He Man, but She Ra I had to have everything, the flying horse, the doll the lot. I was so happy with I found that Empire stores did She Ra PJ's I just had to have them. I think I still have all the toys in the attic somewhere.

In at number 8 is the children quest programme Knightmare. I always wanted to be a contestant. I love the opening Credit with the Knight charging through the castle. The dungeon masters catchphrase "Nasty". The big stupid horned helmet, fantastic. The characters in the Dungeon where excellent and the puzzles. You could only carry some many items and if you chose the wrong item you where dead. I don't think I ever seen any team complete it.

Number 7 is Dogtanian, "one for all and all for one, Muskerhounds are always ready, one for one and all for one, helping everybody". Classic. The kitty queen. Excellent. I saw the dvd collection a couple of days ago, i just had to get it, its fantastic to watch them all again.

Number 6 is dungeons and dragon. All aboard the roller coaster. I love the character Uni, the little unicorn that sounded like a goat (Maa!). All the adventures and special weapons. I want the cloak. Presto could never do any magic correctly at all. The dungeon master looking a lot like Yoda I think.

Number 5 has to be the classic Scooby doo, not the new ones that are showing now. "those pesky kids". Scooby and shaggy where my favourite characters. Anything for a scooby snack. Trying to solve the mystery first, love it. Didn't care to much for Scrappy Doo though, annoying little pup but did like the uncle (can't remember his name).

Number 4 is dangermouse, what a genius. Postbox mansion. Penfold voice by terryscott, dangermouseby David jason ."cripes" what else, Ahh yes the weird Crow spy, one of my favourite villian ever. Baron greenback always stroking that white furry caterpillar. Fond memories. Glad to see it back on our screens.

Number 3 is Nickelodeon's "Rugrats". Its unique to look at a babies point of view of the world. As it must feel like that to them. I wish I was a kid again. No pressure to earn money to eat, No jobs and not a care in the world, just lots of adventures. Not to sure if a like Angelica thou, I found she was a bit of a Brat really.

Number 2 is another recent programme, "Spongebob Squarepants". Brilliant characters especially Mr Krab and Plankton always trying to steal the recipe for Krabby patties. The childlike innocence of spongebob is cute, especially some of the faces he pulls.

Well finally my all time favourite is (yes you guessed it!) has to be "The Simpsons". Matt Groaning must be stinking rich by now. I dont think I need to say much of why it's my favourite. I think two words will do. "homer" and "Bart", need i say more

Anyway that's my list hope you liked reading it and maybe brought back some 80's memories for some.

Late addition to this list has to be grotbags, not sure where to put her but a remember never missing an episode, I always hope she'd get Rod and Emu as I didn't care too much for them.

Summary: enjoy it if you want.
