i was bored watching the news this morning so i decided to see what kids these days were watching. i saw the above (that's the best i could find on youtube).
now, we all know how TV stations like to recreate our favourite shows from when we were younger to try and appeal to new audiences, but i think this one really takes the cake.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxzT3_Yu99o]here[/url] is the show i remember and tbh i think the similarities between the two shows are very striking.
the title sequence is a dead steal
the way the thing is shot is pretty much the same too
and they even got a deep-voiced scouser to narate the thing
but it just isn't the same when done in CGI imo... especially with that terrible theme song and the absence of Ringo Starr.
SO, Flood; discuss new versions of old TV programmes and why they're better / worse than the original.
some more shows off the top of my head they recreated:

3 RepliesThat's not a children's show bro, that's a baby show. The quality of baby shows is irrelevant because they have no reason to exist, babies can just watch kids shows or not watch TV at all lol Anyway, I do think cartoons used to be better then they are now. It started to get worse at around 2005, and then the shows that started before then slowly got cancelled until there was nothing left, but a few golden apples in an orchard of feces.

I love all the old good stuff like Rocko, but Spongebob (With many of the same people involved) is my favorite kids show, ever. Until they made it terrible around the 4th season.

5 RepliesNostalgia is usually the main reason why we prefer older shows. In truth they're probably no better than current ones.
