‘80S & ‘90S FLASHBACK
EPISODES OF CHILDREN’S LIVES FROM DAYS OF YORE
In the 1980s and 1990s channel surfing wasn’t as much fun as it is today, but there were some great shows. Back then there were only TV1, TV2, TV3 (now SABC1,2,3) M-Net and later e.tv. ALYSSIA BIRJALAL and LIAM KARABO JOYCE
MINA MOO EN KIE
This friendly cow owned a dairy in Klokkiesvlei. In every episode, two germs, Bak and Terie, tried to take over Mina Moo’s dairy. Luckily, when Karring Straatkat took a sip of milk, he turned into superhero Karring Ramkat and always saved the day.
KIDEO
Shelley Meskin was a favourite among many kids. She took viewers on a fun and interactive journey while teaching them vital life skills. Fans spent time with Timothy Traddle the tortoise, Mr Chinwag the donkey, and Soda Pop, a big blue bear.
PUMPKIN PATCH
Who can forget the two puppet cousins, Freckles and Speckles, their watchdog, Woofles, Laurel and the mayor, Uncle Bill. This South African classic children’s show was filled with colourful stories of fun and make-believe and cheerful songs.
