Hear, hear. God, I loathed that repugnant little creature. What were 
they thinking of? What did Crappy Doo add to the show? NOTHING. I 
think he was supposed to be cool, you know, with all that "Puppy 
Power" stuff, but he was just utterly, utterly disgraceful. If only 
he had, just once, done that cutesy little fist-waving puppy-power 
thing, and the monster had picked him up and eaten him. *rantrantrant*

Ooh! Ooh! Dungeons and Dragons!

OK, as a child of the 80s, I remember hardly any of the shows that 
have been discussed thus far, but I do have the pleasure of being 
able to remember "Dogtanian" and "Mysterious Cities of Gold" - both 
of which, if I remember correctly, had been dubbed from Spanish, 
really badly, so the speech didn't match up with the movement of the 
characters' lips. Whenever there was movement of lips without any 
appropriate dialogue to be inserted, the character would grunt.

By far the greatest children's TV programme of the 80s, though, must 
have been Knightmare. Challenge TV was showing it a while ago and it 
was just as scary as I remembered. Anyone else share my passion for 
this greatest of all great TV shows?
