I remember when they took the Golliwog out of Noddy because it was racist.

Whenever these ones crop up, I wonder what poor sad childhood these people had, that they feel the need to wreck the next generations?

People who think the golliwogs will turn kids into KKK members, boys watching Thomas (with the 'oppressed' female carriages) into sexist pigs or those watching Scooby Doo into wanting a return to Whites Only colonial rule (every non-western civilisation is depicted as backwards hicks) need to get a grip - or at least a life :mad:

I don't know about kids these days, but the gender or race of characters on any kid's television show was never even a consideration for me growing up. Sure, I noticed who/what was male/female or white/black (can't really remember any significant black kid's television characters, but I might be forgeting something), but I didn't even give it a second thought.

Hopefully kids watching ABC 3 have stumbled upon Round The Twist, that was a brilliant kids show (first two seasons I enjoyed watching again this year). Shits on the modern stuff
 
i couldn't help but laugh at the wiki article on Lil' Elvis

Lil' Elvis and the Truckstoppers was an Australian children's television cartoon series produced by the ABC. The story follows a group of delusional children and their adventures in outback Australia.
The title character of the series is "Lil' Elvis". The opening sequence and music reveal that he was thrown out of a white limousine in a guitar case, hinting that he is the bastard child of Elvis Presley. He is raised by foster parents, Grace and Len, who are fervent fans of Elvis Presley. Lil' Elvis is musically talented, singing and playing the guitar and his foster mother is convinced he is the son of Elvis Presley.
Lil' Elvis and his two friends, Lionel and Janet, form the band "The Truckstoppers", and the series follows their adventures in the outback town Little Memphis/Wanapoo. Lionel is an Indigenous Australian who plays the didgeridoo, and has a penchant for exclaiming "deadly". Janet is a beret wearing Asian girl who plays the drums.
The Truckstoppers recurring enemy is the businessman W.C. Moore, who wants to become their manager to exploit them commercially, turning Lil' Memphis into a tourist attraction. he is also obsessed with finding deposits of the mysterious mineral Berkonium. He has a Berkonium marble, which he uses to beat children at the game of marbles, their major recreational activity. He also frequently electrically zaps his hapless limousine driver.

This is the only footage I could find on youtube.
Game show called A*mazing. The main challenge at the end was to find all these keys that were hidden in a huge place, with a car, and caves and shit. Always wanted to be on that show :(
