Default Things We Watched As Kids

I figured I'd forward the following intros and see if I'm the only dude who can remember some of these television series. If you watched these programs as a kid (as I did), please share your views.
Here's the first one:

Now the second:

The third runs faster than I can pedal:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39co0zKbQAQ

This one was probably my favourite:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iaamkUEF_A

The next one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7EdNClk00Y

And who can forget:

Yes, I grew up with that show as well. Here's another puppet series that was similar:

Unless you lived in England around the seventies, you'd not have heard of another show I saw as a kid - The Tomorrow People.

Neighbours, Cell Block H and Home and Away came far later.

Yeah... Skippy was big. Used to come on after school. Years later...a common skit two people would do at parties would be one clicking his tongue like Skippy... and the other playing Ranger Matt Hammond - interpreting all the details of the trouble someone was in...

For some reason, Rolf Harris always reminded me of Australia as there was this T.V. commericial featuring Rolf. He was like the representative of Austrlia back then, way before Kylie Minough.

The following was the first well-known series I recall going into colour. We had black and white T.V. but somone had a new colour T.V. and this came on. I was blown away at the time but now we have LCD colour T.V. and you can even get these old shows on DVD.

Yeah... he was the British representative of Australia. Coincidentally he used to plug British Paints in Australia "Trust British Paints... <pause with one hand drumroll on a paint can>.... sure can"

Rolf was a bit weird IIRC... but a bit less weird than Les Patterson...
