I was watching those old episodes on YouTube there a couple of years back on a nostalgia buzz. She was a cracker. I was most annoyed at the time (first time around!) when she lost her powers and they replaced her with some Australian one.

I remember being furious when Zordon took away the leadership of the Rangers from the red one Jason (my favourite) and gave it to the white Ranger Tommy, which I think was purely because the white suit was more powerful.

I was a CITV man meself. Terror Towers, Finders Keepers and of course Fun House. Always wanted a go on Fun House

Obligatory Ant and Dec post; thoseguys were awesome, and made Saturday mornings a joy...

Was always a cartoon guy myself, from the Spiderman & X-Men classics to the original TMNTs. That said I did watch most of the above mentioned Sabrina (the teenage wagon as my older brother used to call it), Sister Sister, Hang Time (wasn't Teddy in Hang Time Anthony Anderson) and Saved by The Bell (ahh Ms Kapowski how I liked thee)

The Den on RTE gave me all of these and more so even though I watched the Nickelodeon stuff (Rugrats, Alex Mack...) I loved me some Zig & Zag, Dustin The Turkey and Ray Darcy plus the occasional bit o Podge & Rodge.

should be easy enough to pin point my age there, pre Socky and That Pig character, Snotzer I believe for example but obviously I know of em.... and then Zig & Zag went to Ch4 and the big breakfast booo (though I did watch that too before going to school)

I vaguely recall that pig, cannot remember the name of the thing though.

I hope Kerry batter Dublin.

Anyone remember James Bond Junior on The Den? It was a cartoon about James Bond's nephew I think. I used to love that. I also used to love Captain Planet.

And here's an obscure one from Channel 4: anyone recall Eerie Indiana? I used to watch it just before bedtime.

Oh, and here's my obligatory glory-hunter reference towards Dublin: up the Dubs! I never doubted them!

I loved James Bond junior, I still have the action figures from them in my house

I had a picture of a lot of people here in my head and most of them were a similar age or older. Seems most are probably a few years younger.

Yeah, I've met a few people from the forum before at one of the wrestling events in Captain America's, and I'm pretty sure I was a few years their junior. Dunno why, it always kinda surprises me when I'm a good bit younger than many of the folks I know on-line.

I have one one does bond vhs. waiting for me to copy onto dvd

Eerie Indiana was fun. remember so much of it. Never watched any of the sequel series.

James Bond Jr was always a bit suspect since he was supposedly James Bond's nephew despite having his name and James not having a brother or sister. But at least he was conveniently at school with Q's grandson chasing SCUM around the world.

I remember all of those! ahh thems were the days although in my head JB jnr has somehow morphed into Archer

only ever met up with boardsies twice. Was at the last ever boards beers (when there was one for all of boards) and the first ever soccer beers (when only a handful of people showed up). Believe the only PW fellah I ever met was Orestes and tbh I don't fully remember the meeting

was on a slight nostalgia telly buzz earlier and did some googling and the best headline I found had to be...Dustin the Turkey shocks the nation by suggesting The Den's big guest President Mary Robinson has smelly feet!

Bernard's Watch was The Wire before The Wire

I went to the Power Rangers "live show" at the point when I was a kid.

The actors from the show were on a big screen and it was only when they'd morph that they would come out on stage.

Even as a kid I knew it wasnt the proper actors from the show under those masks :P

Ageyev

Any of ye ever see the Captain Planet episode where the fire guy promises to "stop the violence"?

Can be brought on amazon.

I really miss Ant & Dec with Cat Deeley on Saturday mornings. Chums was especially brilliant. I watched Dick and Dom too but really they couldn't hold a candle to SMS:Live and definitely couldn't appeal to an adult audience like Ant & Dec.

Anyone else watching Blur on RTE? Damon Albarn with a cheap pop Mick Foley would be proud of telling the crowd he's 11% Irish

I'm surprised I found the time to register back then, as it was a strange time in Stereoland.

October 2009, I remember it well. I was bugging a friend of mine who was working in a net cafe at the time. Asked him what the site he was on was, he told me, so I decided I'd sign up and then immediately found the rock and metal section :P
