Top kids show when you were a kid
Oh my god, I agree with the list!

Can't really complain about it, it pretty much sums up my TV viewing habits in the 1970s/80s.

Re: Top kids show when you were a kid
These are the ones I remember:
Sesame Street
Mr. Dressup
Romper Room (a friend of mine in high school was actually on an episode)
Fraggle Rock
Care Bears
The Raccoons
Inspector Gadget
Scooby Doo
Flintstones
For the older kids:
Degrassi Junior High
Saved by the Bell
These are the ones I remember. I'm sure a few of them are uniquely Canadian though.

Re: Top kids show when you were a kid
I was was on 5 of them. They filmed them all in one day. My mum had to bring 5 changes of clothes for me.
The day before, I decided to cut my own hair.
My mum went mental when she saw me, but there was nothing she could do to fix it. So I appeared on 5 episodes of romper room with hair that looked like it was cut by a psycho (me!).

Do you still have it on tape?My friend had a copy and I remember being in high school and watching it one evening after we had had a few drinks
I remember cutting my own hair once, but I only did a little bit before I realized I was going to be in huge trouble and I'd better stop!

Re: Top kids show when you were a kid
It has to be one of the classic "being an Expat" moments....you are sitting in the office, and someone says "Hey its Friday and its 5 o'clock....."
Several times I've said ".......and its Crackerjack!!!!!!
They don't know what they missed, as they all sit there looking bemused and wondering WTF I'm on about this time!
