Don't make him Ang Lee :-)
When I was a kid I remember the Incredible Hulk coming on TV on a Saturday.
I loved it. All of his clothes would tear, and he'd get all big and green and smash stuff up.
That was such a coll program, and any kid would love it.
But you know what really got me about that show?
How it always ended with David Banner walking alone down the road, with that sad music playing.
I still remember that as well today as I did when I first saw it. Even though the Hulk was cool, and he smashed stuff up, I just wanted David Banner to get back to normal somehow.
There's nothing like that on TV now.
Saturdays used to be about Airwolf, The A-Team, The Fall Guy and the Incredible Hulk. There's nothing like that on anymore, and that's a shame.

Yeah.
Hulk Smash!
The Hulk could take Airwolf in a fight any old day of the week

Actually the main point I was trying to make was that the Incredible Hulk was cool, and he used to smash stuff.
Ludvig rules! You can get that on video now.
Rhubarb and Custard, Jamie and The Magic Torch, Mr Ben, Bod, Chorlton and The Wheelies.
Drug soaked, mind altering shows that were watched by 5-10yr olds religiously.
And now we have kids of our own and have jobs.
Subversion at it's very, very best

Whats that? Ludvig... I know, were entering into 70's kids cartoons as opposed to 80's live action entertainment... I just loved that strange glass machanical egg...
There was a program made for the fun of it :)

They even made a Chips'99 movie... Although from what I remeber, the original series was cancelled because the two main characters REALLY hated each other?
(over-inflated egos after the series success?)
Bring back Ludvig!

Aye, and its true what they say... You really cant go home again :)
The storyline is always rambling, and often incoherrent... with plot gaps filled in with scantily clad (usually either bikini or Hot Pants and a tied shirt) women (although never a bad thing)
In fact, pretty much all the things people complain about the current kids programs as having?

Gerry Anderson does suck.
Windsor Davies rules though.
I think what's missing from a lot of kids shows these days is FUN.
That's why the shows we loved are still popular, why old shows are being remade as movies, Charlies Angels, The Hulk, Fantastic Four, The Prisoner etc..because they were just good old fashioned entertainment, not geared for promotional tie-ins, video games etc.
They were made for the love of doing them.

Yes, but they always came in packages, like the way the 'moral of the tale' was spelt out to you at the end of every He-Man cartoon... In a manner so patronising that I would want to do excatly the opposite of whatever I was being told...
It was also the prime times for using cartoons as ads for toys... and using the cheapest animation avalible, (having the whole scene as a still picture, whilst only the talking characters lips moved, etc)
I preferred programs that just told a story, that generally had no real meaning, but had a few good laughs...
Automan? :)
