I like Teletubbies in a way. I haven't seen it in a while. Did you know you can take a quiz to find you who your Teletubby? I'm Po. I'd direct you all to the website but I can't find it..

I'll quite happily sit through episodes of Blue Cow if I happen to come across it. The animation is ever so slighlty 'Rhubarb and Custard' and evokes a warm comforting feeling!
And the northern accent that's used by the narrator is fab. All kids cartoons should feature regional accents.
"Everyone 'knaws' that cows can't dance"
(But 'knaw' they can, 'daunt' we?)

It may not be amazingly new, but Blue's Clues is fantastic! (UK not US version, of course)
Obsidian. (venturing out a very rare post on H2G2 before disappearing back into lurkage )

You mentioned the 'T' word. No, not thundercats, no not The Tweenies. The other one that look like brightly coloured suppositries.
However, I do agree that bella needs a kick in the teeth, though the blue one with ADHA needs a skelp. The Papa and the Dog rock though!
There should be a Bing and Bong appreciation fan club. Bing And Bong should run the country. We never would have went to war with Irak, we would all be distributing cups of tea from sofas....

Does Milo (the blue one) really have ADHD?

Well he's either got it or he's just very excitable and over enthusiastic.
Big fan of Yoho Ahoy, little pirates who only know two words (yoho and ahoy coincidentally) and live on a diet of cupcakes (as long as they can keep them away from the mice).

I like Balamory. Barnaby Bear is very instructive, he goes on his travels with his friend Becky. Lots of good songs on the Tweenies. Engie Bengy is good, a Cosgrove Hall production. Big Cook Little Cook was awful. I've seen it only once and I was not impressed. Not keen on the Powerpuff Girls or Dexters Lab.
That's about my lot for now until I really get my thinking cap on & see what new shows I love.

Well whats in with the kids these days is Totally Spies, and the Power Rangers, bith kinda cool in a wannabe John Woo martial arts way, but neither are a patch on Jamie and the magic Torch or Mr Ben.
I do lind of like the Cramp Twins, inneffectual neurotic parents and all.

Not too sure about the Cramp Twins either, can't quite put my finger on it. It tries to be a cross over show, like The Simpsons, no not the simpsons, but something in that vain, but as a result it's very dark. Which doesn't sit well with me.
And I usually do 'dark.'
Don't like spin off cartoons from films. The only one that ever worked was The Ewoks. Everything has a spin off cartoon. It's pants.
Samuri Jack totally rocks though, it's not pants it's langerie.

I agree with the Totally Spies and I'd throw in Jackie Chan. Yer basic good over evil scenario. Nice to see they've got an English man in totally spies and he doesn't have a cockney accent!!
Rubberdubbas and Bob the Builder - both made by HIT entertainment. They're both good in my books. Good ol Thomas the Tank Engine. Lots of lovely little stories and it's certainly a hit with my little boy.

Hardly kids telly, but as a teenager crawling out of bed on a Sunday afternoon, I was subjected to Network 7 on BBC2. They had a 10 minute 'programme' called Dick Spanner. Try as I might, and even using the Interwebnet thingy, I can't get my hands on a video of this anywhere. It was made by Gerry Anderson, he of 'T' fame, and basically takes the micky out of everything done by him and other TV programmes.
