Knightmare - how I loved fridays...
-
See its not hard to understand
Well... for children - that is very hard to understand; thats why it was taken off I think.
-
I watched it as a child and understood it as well as i do now, but i see what u mean. There was a hint of sarcasm in my "see its not hard to understand ;D"
Reckon Reboot would fit in well now tho - good time for its comeback, does any1 know who made it originally and if they have a website?
-
Reboot; I think its made by a canadian company called YTV.
Searching Reboot on Google...
I found this website but its really out of date.

"ReBoot is a classic CGI cartoon and began before Toy Story was even on the storyboard.
It has been running since 1994, unfortunately CITV stopped it when they only had about 4 more episodes left to air. They stopped it because of two reasons:
-
Poor ratings
-
Violence
This show was aimed at teenagers and shown on YTV. Mainframe told me that there is very little violence (nothing graphic).
The Americans/Canadians are seeing the new movies later this year. We British citizens don't get any TV shows like Reboot, only the crap Butt Ugly Martians.
The Americans also get the DVD release of ReBoot as well as War Planets (which was shown on Sky1 last year). They also get Werid Ohs on DVD. What do we get.............? Nothing, Some people are lucky enough to have a Multi Regional DVD player and can play Region1 and 2 films BUT that is only 2% of the Bristih population. "
It seams like the last 4 episodes were made and shown in america but not here.

Hi,
I have been visiting Knightmare.com for quite a while now (since 2000, I think), but I have never actually taken part much in the chat or in this forum (I read other people's posts a lot, but I have only posted once before)! However, the posts in this thread brought back so many memories that I just had to say something!
I remember too how I used to wait for Friday afternoons, after a long week of school, so that I could see the latest installment of the never-ending adventures of the daring teams in the treacherous halls of the dungeon! I always used to play the text game on TeleText after it ended (does anyone remember that?) and I even played the game on the Amiga (which I still have... in good working order! Does anyone else have/had one?) ;D
Reading some of the other posts in this thread also brought back a lot of memories from programs such as Reboot, Thundercats, He-Man, Transformers, Woof! and The Tomorrow People. Another program that I watched a lot when I was young (and still do!) was Doctor Who, which is probably my favourite Sci-fi program (as opposed to Knightmare as my favourite Fantasy program)!
In case you are interested, I noticed that on the Knews section of Knightmare.com that there was a mention of Hygo Myatt starring in one of Big Finish's audio dramas for Doctor Who (this one: http://www.doctorwho.co.uk/drwho/bf047_omega.htm ). I collect these audios and I recommend them to anyone who may be interested!
Since there is also a mention of The Tomorrow People in this thread, some of you may also be interested in the fact that Big Finish also produce new audio dramas for The Tomorrow People (more information at: http://www.bigfinish.com/tpeople/index.htm ). I do not collect these, so I don't know if they are any good or not!
The future seems promising now with the repeats on Challenge and the development of a new series. I also tuned into CITV recently, just out of interest to see what was on... and the quality of programs that are replacing Knightmare today are almost like an insult to it!
Anyway, thanks for reading my ramblings-on, I hope to talk to you all again soon!

PS. Does anyone recall Spellbinder? I am not sure if it was on CITV, but I remember thinking that it was a good program when I first saw it!
-
YES spellbinder! That was a good show,
Dunno about citv having the rights but i do remember Network 2 getting bot the first and second series of the show.
The second series involved ashka(the baddie from the first) going to another dimension and trying to take over while the "dragon king" (a small boy) was left in our world.
An amazing show which should also be continued
-
Yeah, Spellbinder was good! I can't recall much of it, but I think I only saw the first series when it was on terrestrial television (but I still can't remember what channel it was on)! I don't think I saw the second series.
There were also two novelisations of the TV series (one for each series I think), and I bought them ages ago... I should still have them somewhere!
