Childhood TV Shows That You Barely Remember

This anime (I think?) movie aired once on Nickelodeon in the 90s, and I have never found any info on it. All I can remember is it starred a small, talking blue rabbit (who I think was wearing clothes) in a world with normal humans, and a huge plot point was a really important book, like maybe a religious text or something.

FAKE EDIT: I did a search and found it surprisingly easily thanks to the autism of anime-planet.com: The Legend of Manxmouse which aired in 89 on Nickelodeon. (I was close.)
 
Was going to say I vaguely remember this show called Twins of Destiny where two kids with psychic powers are fighting the Chinese Empire. Turns out someone uploaded the episodes to YouTube. Man, that show is slower than I remember.

 
There were a couple I remember from Toon Disney.

Toad Patrol. A show about a family of adolescent toads having to go on a journey to a place called Toad Hallow. If they didn’t make in time they turned to toadstools. I remember liking it.

Oban Star Racers. All I remember is that it stars a teenage girl who joins an intergalactic race Grand Prix in order to meet her father. Never saw the last episodes I recall. The end credits music was pretty.
 
Dave was based. Danny Cooksey was red hot during that period.

I still find it amusing that the end of series add-on kid from Diff'rent Strokes ended up having the best career.

Speaking of stuff in that vein, Kidd Video was a very 80s cartoon with some cool music that I remember pretty fondly. Robbie Rist, Cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch was in it. He also did the voice of Choji from Naruto and Michaelangelo from the original three TMNT movies.

I remember watching Oban Star Racers but remember little about it.

I remember watching Oban Star Racers but remember little about it.
Molly, Jordan and Aikka enter the Temple of the Heart so that Molly can be crowned as the new Avatar. Canaletto, however, is waiting for them inside. Aikka gives Molly a dagger to defend herself while he and Jordan split up to draw Canaletto into the open. Jordan finds him first, but is pushed into a wall with Canaletto's red pulse wave, and his leg is broken when his laser cannon falls on it. Aikka fires a magic arrow, but it misses and Canaletto vanishes again. Molly heads toward the Pyramid of Power, but Aikka finds Canaletto in the shadows and shoots another magic arrow. Canaletto stops the arrow in midair and sends it flying back towards Aikka. He dodges, but falls unconscious when the arrow explodes against a pillar. Molly reaches the pyramid, but Canaletto materializes in front of her and dissolves her dagger.

Canaletto addresses her as Eva and explains how he has been manipulating events for millenia so that she would arrive at this point. He knew she was the only one who would hesitate to take the Avatar's crown. He sabotaged Rick's racer, removed Sul, and even caused Maya's crash just to get the Avatar's powers again. He then tells Molly to forget the past and she is surrounded by a red glow. As she touches the pyramid, it activates. The Creators appear and try to fight Canaletto, but they are dissolved and form a ball of energy that will make him Avatar. Suddenly, Molly notices that Jordan has climbed to the top of a fallen pillar. He tells her he loves her and jumps into the ball of energy, becoming the new Avatar. Canaletto is destroyed and Ōban is revived. Molly says goodbye to Jordan in his new golden shining form. They kiss and he leaves with the Creators. Eva wakes up in a green field where she is reunited with Aikka and Don Wei, as well as Stan and Koji. G'dar and Aikka's fencing master join them, along with Ning and Skun, Muir, and some of Lord Furter's men. Somehow they all survived the last race. The Avatar's temple appears to send all of them home. Aikka and Eva promise to see each other soon and they leave for their planets.

With the new Avatar chosen, the race ends and the Earth Team is sent home. When they arrive they are informed of the events that happened outside Ōban and the energy released when Canaletto was destroyed somehow disabled the Crog and Earth warships. Both armies were rumored to have set down their weapons voluntarily, but none of them must ever speak the truth...it must remain top secret forever. Stan and Koji go back to working for Miguel and Don Wei goes back to his 'sweet self' managing his racing team. As for Eva, she goes to a nicer school that is close to home. In the last scene she and Don visit Maya's grave together. In the epilogue, Eva says that sometimes she feels as if none of it ever happened; as if it was all just a dream. But it wasn't. She has her father back, and got her wish after all. The epilogue ends with her saying it was fun to be Molly, but she's glad to be Eva again.
 
Way back when, there was a show on Nick Jr. called Papa Beaver's Storytime. Despite the amusing title, all I remember is turning the TV off when it came on, because it wasn't silly. Looking it up on Wikipedia, apparently it's French-Canadian.

Also, was there some show that featured a bat puppet dressed in a suit and glasses? For some very strange reason, I think I remember him singing a song that was designed like William Shatner's performance of Rocketman. There was one bat singing, while his clone had a zoomed-in profile that sang next to him.

That was most wholesome thing I've ever seen. Boys couldn't dress as flamboyantly today as they could in this cartoon, because people would think they were trying to troon out. The 80's were probably the last time men could really peacock themselves out without getting hit with the gay label, and I kind of miss that. The 90's were all grit and grunge by the end, and the 2000s had men's fashion turning into a bland, hipster mush...

That almost sounds like Eureeka's Castle. I never watched it myself, but it seemed popular with friends who had siblings or nephews/cousins young enough to watch.

 
There was this one show I vaguely recall from when I was very little back in the 90's called Allegra's Window.

I don't remember much about the show itself besides the title and the fact it featured felt puppets.

Yeah. I don't remember them looking that creepy on the show, but that may have been because I was a pre-schooler in the mid 90's and barely remember much about the show beyond the title and the blue dog-looking thing.

Maybe it looked less creepy in motion? IDK.

There's actually a lot of kids shows where the creepy uncanny valley effect becomes more noticeable when you're an adult.

It's mostly the wear and tear of the dude on the right. The fella on the left seems fine, and barring her soulless eyes that make me wish for an early death the girl is fine too. I grew up with a lot of this stuff in the UK like Tots TV and Rosie and Jim so I'm sort of desensitised to it.

I think the wear and tear of the dude is because he's supposed to be some kind of dog. He looks like a terrier or something.

Two shows from my childhood that I remember more clearly and that I really liked but are practically forgotten by damn near everyone else would be Archie's Weird Mysteries and Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century.
 
You guys remember in Cartoon Network about this talking lips called Sammy? He had a bird or something as a cohost. They aired a selection of cartoons lined up. I also saw the finale of that segment where Sammy was shut down and his bird friend kept calling out his name in vain.

There's also another show that I remembered. Pappy Drewit. Used to copy his drawings every time I watched the show.

Not exactly.

I remember Face from Nickelodeon and there is one thing from the old Cartoon Network I distinctly remember that I liked. HBTV. IIRC, the concept predated Cartoon Network and goes back to the late 80's Saturday Morning blocks but CN aired them a lot back in the early years.

Back in the day, when Cartoon Network was mostly comprised of Hanna-Barbera reruns, they'd air music videos called HBTV that were kind of like officially licensed AMV's.

But instead of Naruto clips synced up to early 2000's butt rock, this was Hanna-Barbera cartoons synced up to the kind of music you'd hear on oldies radio or a classic rock station back in the 90's.

They even released VHS tapes that were themed compilations, two of which I had as a kid.

Have you ever seen Blinky Bill?
 
Unless it was a sick, semi erotic fever dream you had as a kid, I think it aired once in PBS?
No, it's a real show. It's a girl with a clown nose. There's this clock with a face.

Edit: found it.

Google said The Big Comfy Couch.

PBS, you're right. And it was a couch, not a bed. My bad.
