25 Iconic Kids' TV Shows From The 90s You May Have Forgotten
Entertainment Editor, HuffPost UK
While kids these days are increasingly turning to YouTube for entertainment, there was a time where we all rushed home from school to watch all of our favourite shows on CBBC and CITV.
A few of them such as Blue Peter and Newsround are still on air to this day, while 90′s favourites like Sabrina The Teenage Witch, The Demon Headmaster and Power Rangers are still very much in the public consciousness due to recent reboots.
Many shows though were consigned to the TV vaults after their original runs ended – but with everyone enjoying some blasts from the past at the moment, we thought we’d have a good old rummage to unearth some oft-forgotten 90s classics for a serious nostalgia hit.
How many of these did you remember?
Spatz was a sitcom set in a 1930s-themed fast food joint that aired on CITV from 1990 to 1992.
Many famous faces passed through the restaurant’s doors, including David Harewood, Rhys Ifans, Gary Lineker, Danny John-Jules and Nicholas Parsons, while former EastEnders star Samantha Womack also appeared as a member of staff.
There was a lot going on in Round The Bend. It was supposed to be a parody of Saturday morning magazine shows, and was set in a sewer and fronted by a grumpy crocodile called Doc Croc who linked between various satirical cartoons.
But we mostly remember it for its opening titles that began with viewers getting flushed down the toilet.
Zzzap! was giant 18ft comic that had been brought to life, featuring ridiculous characters like Cutherbert Lily (he was “dead silly”), Daisy Dares You and Smarty Arty, who you might not have realised was played by Art Attack host Neil Buchanan.
Greenclaws was a friendly green monster who lived in a greenhouse and would grow a variety of fabulous seeds inside a Riddle Tree.
The whole premise of the show was pretty bizarre, but for many 90′s kids, Greenclaws was their answer to Alan Titchmarsh.
Made by the same people as Rosie & Jim, Tots TV featured three ragdoll friends – Tilly, Tom and Tiny – who lived in a country cottage together........
