I would like to start this thread to see what people think about modern kids television along with classic shows for children, so I would like to hear! You can post ANYTHING you want about it (Schedules, Comparisons, Bad/Good shows)

I'll save everyone else the effort as whatever age you are the answer is generally the same: "it's not as good as it was when I was a kid."

I believe the choice of programme has gotten better overall because of the new BBC channels however ITV needs to up its game in new content, while it really should extend the life of Saturday mash up to 30 weeks a year.

Various channels have aired "classic" kids television over the years and after the initial fascination drops off, it rarely rates very good. In fact it may not be a trend just with kids TV, but general archive TV as a whole. Challenge know this all too well.

I do remember when Fun House and Knightmare aired on Challenge around 2012/2013, and then again, It was part of the ‘’Late Zone’’

Not exclusively they weren't.
And why have you put that in a spoiler tag?

It's gotten worse over the years. CBBC doesn't use telephones, texts or emails like they used to and instead use Instagram for kids or the CBBC Buzz app. The programmes are a lot worse than they used to and the presentation is bleh. I would love to have a classic block as do the rest of the thread.

Have dipped into some of the new CBBC stuff recently, The new pop group series 'Almost Never' is decent. I really like the use of the YouTube identical twins Max and Harvey Mills with their inevitable chemistry in the review and preview FOMO clips show.

To be fair, neither does their target audience.

Of course. It goes to show how bad children are with their phones and how we should go back to the old days.

Are you being sarcastic or serious?

The "old days" aren't coming back.
