Am I too old to like Knighmare?
-
I'm hurtling towards 21 and Km is still my favourite programme. Granted, most of us if not all watched the show when we were children which, naturally, means that it always has a special place. The acid test would be if an adult (who had never seen Km before) started to like it.

You can never be too old for Knightmare I'm only 15, but I know what I'm talking about.... no wait I dont know what I'm talking about! I dont even know where I'am....no wait I'm at home, but I think my mind isint home...
My mom whos 45 by the way still watches shows like Bambi, Moomi and Two stupid dogs is her fawouwrite TV show....So compared to that your love for Knightmare is completely understandble '
Now where did my mind get to.....
-
im 15 too, KM is an original cult show. IMO it doesnt matter what age you are, as long as you enjoy the program it doesnt matter much what others think...
-
ummm has anyone seen my mind?
-
oh sorry, was that the squidy sound, i think i just stepped in it ;D
-
I knew something bad was going to happen....
Now I'll have to borrow your mind...
-
Well, I'm 20, and I still love Knightmare! I don't think age has anything to do with liking an excellent program. You're among friends here. I think we're all roughly the same age here, give or take a few years.
hands snowwie a new mind

What do you mean sweet and innocent for awhile?½!

Tell your mum there are lots of other people your age (and older) that love KM. For one, it isn't childish and quite often only adults will pick up on some of the humour! Apart from that it causes grown men/women to jump out of their skins at certain points! If your mum still insists it's too young for you after argueing these points, then there's just no hope for her as a KM fan. You keep on loving KM for as long as you want!

16? Too old? Absolute bull-rubbish... tell her about my dad - he may not love Knightmare as much as some of us, but he certainly enjoys watching it with me - and he's 53! (I'd also take this opportunity to point out that my Dad's also the only other person in the house who has the same musical tastes as I do )
You can never really be "too old" for Knightmare - it's part of our cult heritage. It's a bit like saying we're not allowed to watch Doctor Who anymore because it was a kid's program (which, by matter of fact for those who didn't know, it was )!
-
You can never be too old for Knightmare. Never. Ignore the detractors, they probably watch soaps. Aren't soaps just mindless TV? Probably, but we don't criticise them for it (well, yes, some of us join in). So they should leave us with our real quality stuff.

Why does it always seem to be the 'old' mums especially and dads that seem to think that Knightmare is 'stupid', 'immature' and 'childish' for us. My mum is one who thinks that it is. Although I have to say that she is hooked to Pink Panther at the moment and probably wouldn't say that that's childish even though it's a cartoon. I say you never grow old for cartoons and 'kiddies' programmes unless of course they are for the very young e.g. The Teletubies, Tweenies, etc. or what ever the 'young'uns' watch nowadays, for which even I say I am definately too old to watch them though. I have to admit about four or five years ago I was in a college placement for my course and where I was placed I was subjected to the same Teletubies episode almost every time I was there. It was a tape and they would play it almost everyday. It was bad enough watching the Teletubies anyway but the same tape literally day after day became a bit manotomous and a bit much.

Now I know how my parents felt when I used to watch the same Thomas the Tank Engine video every so often. Still, at least thomas talked English..
I don't like The Pink Panther, but I do like The Inspector, one of its secondary features. The Ant and the Aardvark and Crazy Legs Crane are awful, though. Sorry, gone on a tangent again.

I adore the original Pink Panther - I think it's the finest cartoon ever made, and certainly suitable for all ages. The first ever PP cartoon won an Oscar, and it deserved it. The soundtrack, animation and humour are all first class. Just imagine what would happen today if they tried to make a cartoon for children about a guy who never speaks but walks around naked and smokes with a cigarette holder - but it was acceptable in the 60s!
Henry Mancini even made a cameo in one of the cartoons.I do like the Inspector Clouseau cartoons ('don't say si, say oui'!), and I enjoyed the Ant & Aadvark cartoons when I was younger (I found out recently that the Aadvark was voiced by Jackie Mason), but I agree that Crazylegs Crane was and is poor.
The Pink Panther, and presumably the Inspector cartoons sandwiched in between, are showing on Boomerang/Cartoon Network at the moment, I'm told. Along with Knightmare on Challenge?, this is proof that, like a boomerang, the best programmes come back! So it is our right to watch them!
Now that I have two young nephews, I have an excuse (not that I needed one) to watch all those children's programmes from 'our day' again. SuperTed, and Pob (the character that Anne Wood made before she made Teletubbies) are already proving popular.
