I shamed myself my inability to narrow this list down to any fewer than ten I
was very excited when I decided to do with my top five initially favorite 90s
kids TV show intros and some early knows he's that nineties kids would have
watched but then I started making the list and it got longer and longer and I
thought I'm going to have to make this a top ten so these are my top ten nineties
kids TV show intros so these are in no particular order but I'll start with the
ones that I would have watched when I was relatively young and we have Suzy
Thomas the Tank Engine postman pat fireman sam and naughty so those five
were ones that I watched and I was very very young and of course I will not be
able to play any clips of these due to copyright reasons but I will link all of
the intros in the description if you wish to go and watch them and Susy
especially just here in the intro couple of beats and then seeing the cartoon
campervan I mean it just it fills my heart with love no D it is the original
intro I think it's universal intro there may be more like a decade or so earlier
that's not the best quality but certainly the original 90s ones not the
make way for naughty one and it's just such a gentle lullaby song and in seeing
naughty weaving over the bridge and through the streets towards his house
and seeing all of his friends and mr. plot and everyone it's just so emotional
Thomas the Tank Engine is hilarious the video for it you don't realize when your
child how low-budget it is but watching it now is an adult it is so funny and I
would have loved to have been in that productions with them that when they
were actually putting it all together because it's just incredibly funny but
very very nostalgic and postman part and fireman some
I think fireman sam the intro music is very nostalgic portman part both the
visuals and song I loved I realized today when I was watching it that I
still know all the words to the song postman part is incredible fireman sam I
don't know a couple of the words but postman pat just straight off the bat
with his black and white cat i can sing them one that I actually had forgotten
about until I can started binge watching 90s kid showing
crows on YouTube was places you know where does it go where does it stop
what sign and lollipop each patch top plate is I don't really feel nostalgic
when I watch play days because I could obviously go and watch a couple of
minutes of it afterwards the actual episode don't make me feel nostalgic but
there's something about seeing that play bus that kind of low-quality cartoon
player bus trundling along this little illustrative road and it's just it's
great fun obviously we have funny bones funny bones that intro ah in a dark dark
Street there was a dark dark house and in the dark dark house through some dark
dark stairs and I absolutely loved it and I don't know if I never read it I
mean I've read a lot of the albergues work but did I read that it's child I
don't even know I can't really remember certainly nostalgia comes from the TV
show and it's weird because I was such a timorous child terrified of everything
despite what you see here I was not into dark dirt like disturbing horror when I
was a child I was very fluffy bunnies and pink and sparkly things so - for me
- like funny bones was a big deal the last three kind of come a little bit
later they're all Nickelodeon I think the role Nickelodeon was Rugrats on
Nickelodeon certainly when I started watching Rugrats it was before sky TV
kind of existed in the UK so I would have watched it on CBBC maybe Rugrats
that intro for me is one of my favorite things ever because I was obsessed with
the Rugrats it is my all-time favorite animated TV show it's so nostalgic
absolutely love it and it's just the music and again the really poor quality
images it fills my heart with so many fond memories and similarly similarly we
have Sabrina now I have you can't see it I have it so we know the Teenage Witch
tattoo so needless to say while this is nostalgic it's also something when I've
carried a cross with me for the last well what I'm 26 knit came out when I
was about seven so you know maybe almost 20 years
and it's definitely the original theme song we have the three different
variations of the Sabrina intro the one wears in the mutton the mirror
the one with the bubbles and then we have the college shares one I kind of
feel like the mirrors one even though it's the oldest is not quite as
nostalgic for me as the bubbles one and I think I think that's because series
four was the first series to fully air in the UK I think so definitely those
two intros kind of combined to just fill me with everything that I love about
life and the last one is one that oh gosh I mean I was watching this show and
I was thinking that is appalling this is the intro for The Amanda Show I I mean I
love The Amanda Show it used to be at about 6 o'clock it would be the Amanda
Shaw double bell Sabrina double bell and then Keene an accountable Bill but
usually I would switch over to Nick plus one and re-watch Sabrina but the Amanda
show how such it's such a catchy engaging introduction I absolutely love
it but I was watching an episode of the girls room and in this episode the
popular girl is running for class president or something
and this other girl comes in and she's running for class president they're
having this bickering and and one of the other girls I don't remember their names
said oh no there's this new person in school and they're also running and and
the popular girls like bring her in then and they bring her in and it's actually
a very attractive male and suddenly they both drop out of running for class
president and just to give this man a title and I thought that is disgusting
that is a very horrible message so I've kind of fallen out with the show a
little bit because of that but the intro I can't deny is still amazing naughty
naughty little man threatened yellow car so there we have my top ten to be honest
there are a lot more like could've added to this list
I really really restricted myself to ten but it was very difficult I would of
course love to know which five or ten TV shows from your childhood
take you straight back there and bring you so many memories at once it's
nostalgia isn't addiction it's my favorite thing and I could not live
without it
you
