I found an essay on the internet once, written completely without irony, suggesting that Smurfette had set the women's movement back twenty years. It complained about her always wearing a dress as it made her a stereotype, and that it was always the same dress - 'which suggests her personal hygiene is poor. How can we respect her in light of this?' Someone should tell the poor deluded woman that most cartoon characters always wear the same clothes!

Yea, those kids on Scooby Do have been wearing the same clothes for at least thirty years.

And they haven't aged at all!

As Lisa Simpson once said when she'd run out of clean clothes 'I feel like I've been wearing this same red dress forever!'

Saw a stretch limo in town today and immediately thought of Wacky Races

With my pink scarf and coat in the car I look like Penelope Pitstop when I am driving.

Quote from: oldspice

Does anyone remember a children's programme called Grotbag?

My son's primary school teacher looked just like her!

Grotbags was a spin-off from Rod Hulland Emu's Pink Windmill programme. She was the witch who wanted to kidnap Emu.

I always remember the Pink Windmill as it the time it was the only children's programme with an ad break in it. How times change!

What about Press Gang

smurfboy · « **Reply #86 on:** February 06, 2006, 11:42:32 am »

Press Gang was wicked. It was really intelligent kids TV, which you just don't get now. Remember the episode 'For the rest of my life'? It was really moving and they wouldn't dare make it now; there would be an obligatory happy ending.

I didn't watch Press Gang avidly but I do remember it. I think you can get it on DVD now.

Why did the powers that be never release Supergran on DVD

Whats Supergran?

There was a lot of stars in Press Gang, just like Grange Hill.
