There seems to be a lot of cartoons being listed, are there any non-cartoon shows people used to watch as kids?

I thought about Rugrats and Pinky and the Brain and stuff like that when I did my initial list but then I decided that they weren't as ingrained in my childhood as the others.
That being said Power Rangers was great, I can remember running home so I could watch it. How many kids shows today have that effect?
Also why don't they show Tintin anymore? That show was great and it's timeless. It might be because it might be considered a bit rasist nowadays, with stuff like the Japanese all having big buck teeth and doing the "R" and "L" speech thing, but I never noticed things like that as a kid...

I reminisce about the days when the ABC had the best childrens TV. But I also remember that channel seven had Saturday Disney and I loved shows like Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, Duck Tales, etc. (there were a lot of duck related shows when I was young).

Only a few of my favourite shows from back in the day were cartoons.
Also we never had cable tv, i don't think it was around at the time (in Australia at least)

I agree, kids shows used to be a whole lot better.

I've been thinking lately about how crap kids tv is at the moment and how great it was when I was a kid.
I remember those good old days and I feel sorry for kids nowadays that they don't get to see these classic programmes.
I made a list of those I used to watch and think fondly of (these are mostly Australian):

Ship to Shore- Only the first series...Hermes rules
Round the Twist- Only the first couple of series..."Without my pants"
Lift Off- Mr Fish was always funny "No *blank* in the foyer"
Bananaman-  "When Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs"...it got me to eats bananas
Bananas in Pyjamas- To continue the banana related shows..."Trrust me, I'm a rat"
Johnson and Friends- Toys coming to life has been done since but no one has done the talking waterbottle (Alfred) again
Tintin - I have watched it since, it's timeless
Superted- I still want to know his secret word
The Trap Door
Blinky Bill
- Longest intro song ever
Victor and Hugo: Bunglers in Crime
Widget the World Watcher
The Ferals/ Feral TV
  - "Are you Joe King?"
The Wayne Manifesto- I remember the rubber hammers and the one where Squocka eats the chicken and pretends they're witchetty grubs
Amazing! - The maze run was the best
Vidiot - My older brother remembers this better than I do...Oh Eden Gaha, where are you now?
Art Attack - It was fun watching the big art attacks and guessing what they'd be
Couch Potato- Bring back Grant Piro, he was so funny

These shows were great when I was growing up and I think they should bring them back.
Surely I'm not the only one who thinks this...am I?
