kids shows (back in the day) part 1

Just as Steven Gerrard, Anfield and The Kop is to Liverpool, or even Highbury and Arsene is to Arsenal, tv shows have by far blended into our lives quite nicely just as we were kids. Every Saturday morning or even Sunday morning after church there has to be a tv show or even animated series that seems so real in our lives; especially when we were much younger. Let's take a look at some of these television shows, cartoon series, manga and what not.

First and foremost, who could forget Pokemon and perhaps the face of this Japanese cartoon, almost goes hand in hand to it; the yellow rodent called Pikachu. Over the years, spin offs of animated series and games ranging from the Game Boy handheld all the way to the Nintedo DS which is hot and popular currently. However, no Pokemon series seems to be complete without its main character, Pikachu. It just doesn't feel right. :P

Next as we roll back the years, we see another spin off that was not as popular as Pokemon but popular amongst children as well. We have Digimon. Who could forget these digital monsters that could "Digivolve" anytime they want. Sure there have been a few games based on the series but I don't think it's as popular as Pokemon.

Next on the list is none other than Power Rangers. The story line feels so cliche. Redundant, I don't mind adding. Yet, theres about 10 different seasons in total; (Maybe more) ranging from Power Rangers time, Lost in space and Mystic Force. All of the series have one thing in common. Some bad guy wants to destroy the world, but can't due to this awesome 5 rangers. Dude, after 3 or 4 episodes, it will be redundant and boring. Yet children still watch it time and time again.

Next on the list for these kind of shows will be my friend's favourite. Ultraman. OK. I do not know much about this series. The only thing I know about it is some robot will need to fight against some monster from another dimension or such.
