Had a childhood flashback today to a bizarre French animated show called "Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea" ("Les Mondes Engloutis"). It was utterly weird but I loved it. Anything like this in your childhood?

Davey and Goliath. Weird Lutheran Christian stop-motion animation. Just as much fun as that sounds. ;)

This used to play all the time. I hated it, but there was often nothing else on at certain times. It was - almost - enough to get me to stop rotting my brain watching TV Sunday mornings, and go do something constructive - it was that dire. :D

I used to love Monkey!
Now that is an odd show. Paticularly back when exposure to the east was so limited.
Probably a key early piece of my becoming interested in east asia.
Oh. And Candle Cove of course :ph34r: :ph34r:

Actually, not so much, it's the Three Musketeers era, the hero seems to have participated in the La Rochelle siege. Dumas has always been popular with kids.
Thanks for the heads up on the show, some '60s ORTF gem you got there. :)

I also recall one about a Mirage III fighter squadron set in France, but with bits of former colonies featuring in some episodes.
Oh and a French puppet show involving a bloodhound and a frog, that was dubbed over here and titled as 'Hector's House'
The Smurfs was pretty weird. 100 males living with their "papa" and no sign of a female until their enemy creates one.

I also recall one about a Mirage III fighter squadron set in France, but with bits of former colonies featuring in some episodes.
Oh and a French puppet show involving a bloodhound and a frog, that was dubbed over here and titled as 'Hector's House'
Les Chevaliers du Ciel I think. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061230 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061230)
This one is very famous, it was even remade twice, as a feature film the last time, in 2005.

Really obscure, at least for my generation :P, la Maison de Toutou according to IMDB. Never watched or even heard of it.
As for me, re-runs of The Twilight Zone or of The Prisoner in the '80s were more than to creep me out (The Rover!). These last two got some brilliant transfers on blu-ray.
PS: Les Mondes Engloutis is well-known among thirty-somethings but I never really liked it, not that it was too creepy, but I was never really hooked. I would watch it while waiting for another cartoon though.

And oddly that is only where the weirdness began. You are right, a very strange show. But I guess I thought Marty was asking me for obscure stuff. I don't recall anything really obscure I enjoyed as a kid.
I felt really weird, as a kid, that I always watched the Bob Ross painting, the Joy of Painting, show on PBS. Like every time it came on. Even though I did not even really care about art. I never told my friends or anybody about this because I thought it was weird to be watching it all the time. But it turns out EVERYBODY was watching this show. People who could not have been alive when the show was going love this show.
Yeah, I remember being a kid and flipping to PBS hoping that Sesame Street or Mr. Rodgers or 3-2-1 Contact would be on, but nope, just Bob Ross painting his happy trees. It was oddly hypnotic.
It is an all time cult-like favorite of my generation here but it is weird.

La Bola de Cristal, a Spanish children's show with a punk aesthetic. It was fucking great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG1LNJMC5-w
It had a pretty non-subtle anti-capitalist ideology too :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZkYjxvoHAk
(In Spanish, but it talks about the industrial revolution and the exploitation of the working class, and it's funny)
Kids these days have some great shows. I actually prefer my kid's kid-shows to most of the adult shows on TV. ;)
Two of my kid's current favorites are Horrible Histories from the BBC and Disney Chanel's Gravity Falls. The latter especially is awesome - a cross between The Simpsons and H.P. Lovecraft. :D
Archer and BoJack Horseman are great kid shows.

Gravity Falls is a great show-- both my kids love it. They're also into Sanjay and Craig (gross but hilarious) and my older one is obsessed off and on with Adventure Time.
Adventure Time and Gravity Falls are awesome for all ages.
From my youth I'd say Land of the Lost. COuld be pretty scary.
There was some sci fi show on PBS I remember that was creepy. Can't remember much about it.
Some oldies from the 50s/60s that I remember as a young'un. Captain Kangaroo, Rex Trailer, Howdy Doody, Amos and Andy, and especially The Lone Ranger. There was another one about a pilot, Sky Ranger or something. Then there was also Flicka, The Rifleman. Also Superman - man of steel. Opening sequence of every show had a guy shooting at him and bullets bouncing off, then the guy throws the gun and he ducks! Lol, if the bullets don't hurt....then why duck? But still, a fun kid's show and probably for adults too back then.
there was this really strange cartoon I used to watch called Gustavus

Davey and Goliath. Weird Lutheran Christian stop-motion animation. Just as much fun as that sounds. ;)
http://www.daveyandgoliath.org/
This used to play all the time. I hated it, but there was often nothing else on at certain times. It was - almost - enough to get me to stop rotting my brain watching TV Sunday mornings, and go do something constructive - it was that dire. :D
:lol: Creepy ass home-schooling shit on CBN, all that was on when you were home sick.

All sorts of weird shit on PBS during the day, before cable.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. I loved Land of the Lost.
Oh god I just remembered another crappy animation that played all the time, even though it was already ancient - Tales of the Wizard of Oz. A product of too much pot in the '60s, I assume.

Did you see the spoof they did on Conan back during his early NBC years? http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/086eddcd7a/slim-organbody?_cc=__d___&_ccid=ed5817df-f0a2-400d-9fa2-a7f44612f658
My favorite daytime PBS show was Safety Frog. Or at least that's what we used to call it.
