Just flicking around the channels on Sky and noticed on Boomerang (well, Boomerang +1) that they're now showing that pre-Going Live Saturday morning favourite, The Raccoons!

How long have they been showing that then?

All these old shows coming back... it's like they're trying to make up for TV being so crap these days!

Very annoying that they don't play the "proper" version of the closing song though. They show the same credits every episode (so they can squash them up), and the credit sequence they show is missing the main vocal track (still has the backing vocals though). I did see them show the proper credits (without squashing them up) once, but only once. Very sad, that song is one of the things I remember most about the show.

The thing I remember most about the show though is that it was what was on TV at the precise moment that the power went off in 1990, for 3 days.

The Raccoons was brilliant. However the most of the nineties for me seemed to be ruined by Alvin and the Chipmunks! Even most of the old VHS tapes I have show that somewhere.

There was an excellent re-mix of the theme to the Raccoons recorded by "Spray" a while back.

It is a particularly guilty pleasure.
