Nostalgia: kids' shows that were totally the shit

YouTube is a maze and I can get lost in it wonderfully. Click click, from one video to another. A vlog here, a cat video there, new clip from Justin Timberlake and hatsa: before you know it, you end up at the intro song of Ovide and his friends, right, Lil? Time for a round of our favorite series from the past and even more fun: the intros. Because the songs at the beginning, man man, we almost did it just for that.

Ovide and his friends

Watch out fool, a coconut! Who makes us laugh, giggle? Ovide and his friends! WHO STILL REMEMBERS THIS??? Brilliant.

Boes Boes

Which ox can teach us something? Boes Boes! Boes Boes! And how to fix a bicycle tire?

Boes boes! Boes Boes! No idea anymore what that cow is up to, but the intro song was the best.

Dommel

All together in chorus: ‘Here is Dooooom-mel, crazy dog! Very white, thick-and-round.’ Secretly we all wanted a Dommel as a pet.

Calimero

My mother could call me, but when I watched Calimero, I was in a trance. ‘You are big and I am small… and it’s not fair!’

Dinobabies

Tess's personal favorite and I understand why.

‘Dinobabies play because they have all the time

‘It’s a group of four boys and a very sweet girl

Dinobabies experience all sorts of things every time

Dinobabies are oooookay!’

The triplets

And then being able to recite that whole beginning text, huh. 3… 2… 1… here comes the witch… this will be fun… we can almost go… And hope that the triplets do all sorts of naughty things again so that the witch sends them to a fairy tale.

Alright Kiek, grab yourself together. So far this trip down memory lane. Want more series from your teenage years? Just read this. With serious click-through danger on YouTube, you’ve been warned.
