The Amanda Show. Its first shows were in November 1999 so it counts! (barely:D)

On a whim I decided to see if the site still exists.

Just as annoying as ever :P

EDIT: Also creepy as hell, did they really think it was a good idea to incorporate such an obvious stalker into the show and have the site based around her stalking?

Remember the hillbilly moments! :P

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but I just came across this today, and it really brought me all the way back. I know a lot of people watched SMTV, but I was always a Live and Kicking guy!

Ah I remember that vaguely, good stuff.

Does anyone remember that one that used to be on RTE? It was set in a swamp, don't remember what it was called though? Videos will earn your major ONION points...

I don't remember anything about this show except the theme tune. OK, it won't show the video but it was Dinobabies...it ended before I was born though...??

And this started airing in 1997 so....

No he's just old! :P I watched Bear in the Big Blue House as well. :cool: DO in in his early 20's (I think) so that's why he considers us young.

Here's a list of Kid's programmes that RTE broadcasts/broadcasted, so you might recognize a name from there.

Called the Swamp.

Saturday programming came from RTÉ Cork in form the mid-1990s to the late-2000s, starting with The Swamp which took the place of classic Irish Children's TV such as Padjo's Junkbox, Scrap Saturday and Anything Goes (which broadcast on RTÉ One). Satitude was RTÉ Cork's main TV show for children and was broadcast on The Den on RTÉ Two on Saturday mornings. Satitude was cancelled in 2009.

wiki again wrote:

Between 1996 and 1997, The Swamp took The Den's place as a weekday strand during the summer. Mossy Fergeson, Rory and Rasher Bacon, a puppet, presented the show. The Swamp took place in a chipvan and a shop where the cast would show. The cast were involved in plots, such as saving Rasher from an eagle and getting rid of a vampire. Skelly, a talking skeleton, made several guest appearances on the show. In 1997–1998, The Swamp was aired on Saturdays and Sundays, while The Den was broadcast on weekdays. Although The Swamp proved to be successful, RTÉ cancelled the show in May 1998, much to the disappointment of its fans.

You'd think on writing it, D4RK ONION would've figured it out!

I always thought RTE's Saturday morning offerings were distinctly lacking. And I used to abhor The Disney Club on Sunday mornings ... *shudders*

Disney club! Oisin the dog!

syncosised · 14-03-2010 10:48pm

I think that dog and the presenter were the reasons I disliked it so intensely!

Superbus · 14-03-2010 10:59pm

This thread proves that the 90s generation, of which I am admittedly a part of, was obsessed with TV to a preposterous extent.

Oh and Rugrats ftw. I dug out the aul' VCR machine and put on some full episodes. Pure unbridled joy, even when watching with an overly logical teenage mind - 'Why would parents allow a small child to keep an actual screwdriver in his nappy? Is that not an extreme health hazard?'

syncosised · 14-03-2010 11:07pm

Very true, most things I would turn to for nostalgia are TV, films and video games. However, it is fair to say that our discussion is on the internet, so it's a lot easier to demonstrate the digital content we used to enjoy back them. A picture of a toy doesn't really have the same effect.

I never used to enjoy watching Rugrats, yet I used to always watch it all the same ... I'm not sure why!

And in that TV-obsessed vein, here's an excellent Sprite ad right from the 90s!

You know I was thinking of this thread today, and how if you were to post in it, you'd probably post that ad, despite the fact that I do not remember it!

I remember when Oisin the dog died, and they got some new dog in and pretended it was the same dog. I was not a happy camper. :mad:

Yeah, it was fairly obvious poor Oisin had died.

That's right, and it happened between weekends, so it was fairly obvious. It was the fact they didn't even acknowledge it, I thought it was a bit mean on the poor dog who'd died that they didn't even give a moment for him. I know that sounds a bit sad, but he did work for years on the show.

Is it just me or were they always harping on about the Galapagos Island's on The Disney Club?

Just me then.

I was luckily able to avoid all the crap kids' shows on Disney and RTÉ as a child.

The British had Saturday morning TV down to a fine art back in the 90s. I'm sure kids these days see whatever they have seems just as good as we saw the shows we had, but surely the internet and such has made things more diluted.

For example, I remember sending a postcard to Live and Kicking to enter a competition, because there was no such thing as email or texting, let alone Twitter or Facebook. I didn't win, but the thrill of waiting to see if they'd pick out my postcard ... brilliant.
