Kids tv today sucks, plain and simple. Take a look at the DVD shelves of "cult tv", it's rammed with Rhubarb & Custard, Battle of The Planets, Ludwig, The Goodies, Jamie & The Magic Torch, Bod, Mr Ben, The Magic Roundbout etc etc.
All quality programmes from the 1970's and early eighties that my generation was weaned on.
And yes, looking back, they were fuelled by psychodelic drug-raddled creatives that grew up in the 1960s, passing on their headtrip visions to the kids of the 1970s.
It even permeated Sesame Street.
The "1,2,3,4,5" song, complete with hardcore acid-type imagery that we lapped up like lapdog Leary's.
And here's a (remixed audio) version of that song. And anyone over 25 *still* counts to 12 in their head, same way as you go "a b c d e f geeee".
Watch, enjoy and realise why I'm the way I am and so many over 25's yearn for the days of insane, drug-fuelled programmes instead of crap like Big Brother:
