Do you have stuff you think you have long forgotten about, but they made an impact on you? Saw anything in your childhood that you would like to see back, to wonder what you liked about it soo much? I think it's a great idea to post in here about just anything you once saw on tv, laughed about at that time or stayed home only for this. Here are a few of mine The A-Team, Magnum PI, Pippi Longstocking It doesn't have to be all about shows, so I don't know if this thread can stay in here or have to move. But this is what I can find of the top of my head

Anything Asterix, Walt Disney animation movies... A good few animation series like Belle and Sebastian, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn... Younger there was Sesame Street, Astro and the Transformers' animation series. Those NES cassettes with about a hundred games on them could keep us hanging in front of the TV for long sessions too. ;D

In my juvenile vision nothing beat a car you could tell, "Go fuel and wash yourself, find some parking and pick me up at three..."
K.I.T.T.

I have been asked (by Americans, apparently) several times in different forums whether "the Germans still like Mr. Hasselhoff".
Bleh.

I just love to dig up old series and shows, takes me back to soo many nice and less nice memories. A-Team rocks for me, anyone remembers Roots? With Chicken George and Kunta Kinte? Or how about Shogun? With Richard Chamberlain? North and South? Patrick Swayze and Kirstie Alley and a dozen of memorable actors. Recently I saw the entire North & South serie back, I forgot how much I liked it back then, and I still like that one.

MacGyver! A super hero who didn't use violence, but instead he outsmarted his opponents useing science! He could get out of any (ANY) situation only useing his swiz army knife and what he could find there. If someone kidnapped him, took him on a space craft and dropped him on pluto he would build his own space craft useing some radioactive stone he found there to build a nuclear engine and fly back. Thinking back on the series I watched when I was about 7 it's funny to see how he affected me. He gave me this ideal that you can solve anything useing your brain and not useing violence. He was allso one of them good guys I allways liked. They showed a few episodes a few summers back which I watched again, and I still like the show. One aspect is nostalgia, one is the joy of seeing it from a grown up's point of view, because now that I can follow the story, and think for myself in general I see how corny and simplified the show acually is. But a guy who can get out of any situation only if he thinks hard enought and who tries never to use violence is a great role model for kids, don't you think? Übereil

Yay, MacGyver! Haven't seen that show in a while! He should've been a member of the A-Team I think, then Hannibal and MacGyver can both say " I love it when a plan comes together" Does anyone knows Nils Holgersson or Sans Famille (Nobody's Boy) ?

Buck Rogers ruled. It's cheesy and incredibly hammy, but I still love it now. And Blake's Seven is still the best SF series ever - Avon is just such a total bastard you gotta love him! ;D

Nils Hoggerson and Sans Famille I grew up on too; Remi was one that I had in mind but couldn't remember the name of... And now I risk to be stuck with the theme in the head for a while.

IIRC I read Nils Holgersson for school (after all, a Swedish nobel prize winner (bonus points if you know who ) wrote it!), but I don't remember much of it. I guess you could say I grew up with The Simpsons too. Started watching when I was 10ish. It was on every day when I came home from school, and allways hillarious. Übereil
