Casey Jones you never have to guess
When you hear the tooting of the whistle
It's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express.

Jamie and his magic torch and Chorlton and the Wheelies. Enjoyed them. Not so that Wizbit thing that used to float around..a triangle with letters on I think he was. Creepy. Used to shit me up which probably goes a little way to ecplain my terrible spelling these days.

Tales if the unexpected. Very conflicting messages. Creepy music but a topless bird dancing.

They didn't, they just gave them wings and called them "Star wars"

The Dakotas
William Tell (effectively a western set in Switzerland)
Westerns became "politically incorrect" with the constant depiction of naughty 'injuns'.
So they replaced the Colt45s with blasters and phasers, and made the injuns into aliens.
the film Avatar perfectly matches the "exploit the natives' land without regard for their welfare" of the American West.

Another one no one else I speak to seems to remember. I think it was one of the first series done by Gerry Anderson. About a cowboy with a magic gun that he didn't need to aim (if my memory is right)
