oh my i forgot about maid marrion, wasn't Tony Robinson who does time team in it? That was well funny! Liked Simon and the witch, Those were the days where you could turn either cbbc or citv over and watch the other if you didn't like what was on.
Short Change was brilliant as well, and I got into Raven towards the end of my CBBC viewing days. Caught an episode of it the other day, apparently there's now a Nevar and an Ervan - ingenius!
Some people haven't mentioned:
There's a viking in my bed
Dennis the Menace
Microsoap (about 2 single parent families living next door to each other and knocking the wall down in between)
50/50
Sunday Evening Programmes:
Fungus the Bogeyman
Johnny and the Bomb
Also what other people have mentioned
Jeopardy (didn't like the 1st series but the next 2 were excellent)
Blue Peter (still watch from time to time)
Tracey Beaker
Byker Grove
Get your own Back
Come outside
Wild Thornberries
Postman Pat
Fireman Sam
Sarah Jane Adventures
CBBC went downhill a couple of years ago when they redefined their target audience to 6-12, leaving 12-16 with the awfully bad (poor copy of T4) Switch. If you aim your audience too young you will get lower figures. Also Neighbours moving has not helped it with programmes starting/finishing 20 minutes earlier.

i mentioned microscoap, with the big rat, my uncle was in that(he has curley hair ivan kaye)
grange hill the fire when it moved was brilliant and then it was ok for the next year but then went bad.
Wild thornberries is also a brilliant show they had that movie "stewww"
dennis the menace, a classic that is still on but i always thought it was american till theyd id that blue peter episode
I'm probably one of the younger people to post in this but I do find that todays kids tv isn't as good as it used to be.
I remember waking up on a Saturday morning and watching SMTV with my parents (I know its not BBC), thats is something we don't tend to do now as they isn't any really good morning tv.
Some of my favs are:
Jeopardy (Only watched the last series, been meaning to watch the first)
Arthur
The Demon Headmaster (wouldn't have seen it if it weren't for Youtube)
Get your own back
The Wild Thornberrys
Wacky Races
The only shows I enjoy now from CBBC are Sarah Jane Adventures and Young Dracula (which may have been axed ).
There was also another TV show I think I liked but can't remember much about it. I think it was after kids having powers and they were being put together to create an army and a kid with powers was trying to refuse.
I liked the Time Bus programme with the bus that used to go back in time and they'd have to solve mysteries and get back on it before time ran out On a similar note, does anyone remember Scavengers? Was that on BBC or ITV?
I loved that Time Bus programme!, it was great on a Sunday with that, the old re-runs of Grange Hill and Ant and Dec's show. They also repeated Dark Season I think then too.

No idea if this is what you're thinking of, but I've just remembered Animorphs
And Microsoap is coming back to me... magic.
I wish they'd release some of this stuff on DVD... especially The Animals of Farthing Wood, that was stunning.
I was born in 86, I used to love Byker Grove,Grange Hill, The Biz with the gorgeous Paul Nicholls:D
The movie quiz show John Barrowman presented, plus there was a drama set near a Canal(which noone I speak to can remember) and a cartoon where kids had adventures when they were asleep.
And the Monster Cafe? and a show set on a Spaceship?
The Demon Headmaster
Maid Marion and her Merrymen
The Queens Nose
The Wild House
Byker Grove (miles better than Grange Hill, especially when Ant and Dec were in it)
Round the Twist
Chucklevision
Bodger and Badger
Get Your own Back
CITV was so crap in comparisan. The only decent shows they had were Knightmare and Fun House, everything else sucked.

Oh my god, The Biz! That was brilliant!
The movie quiz with John Barrowman was called The Movie Game, and I think Phillip Schofield presented it before him.
I remember this Dane Bowers sang the theme tune and I had a MASSIVE crush on the lead guy in it. I was almost certainly old enough to know better
Also remember "See How They Run" and all the drama-y stuff: Grange Hill (when it was good before they moved it from London), Byker Grove, The Biz, The Wild Family. Loved Maid Marian.
Cartoons like Noah's Island and The Animals of Farthing Wood (which used the same actors' voices )
They don't make 'em like they used to
Born 1987 btw. So I was technically probably too old to watch some of the stuff
I was born in '88 so I was maybe too old too! So glad someone else remembers 24/7! Totally agree about Grange Hill too, seemed to be aimed at older kids then too.

The Biz was amazing - I found the theme tune on YouTube and could actually remember all of the words
I remember the movie quiz show too and I remember the Monster Cafe programme too - they showed that about five years ago on CBBC breakfast TV too. Did the Spaceship show have a dog in it and the woman who used to do the Philadephia cheese ads? Was it Space Vets or something similiar?
People, people...... No mention of Willy Fog? Shameful!
It's 26 years old, which means I wasn't born when it was on! Maybe people just haven't heard of it. Just looked it up on Wikipedia though, and apparently it's one of the most faithful and accurate versions of Around the World In Eighty Days ever produced, even though it renamed the characters and made them animals. Still popular in Spain as well, there was a stage musical version last year. There was also a sequel series based on Journey to the Centre of the earth and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, produced in 1993.

all those inflatable obstacles eemed such great fun!
Oh my god, The Biz! That was brilliant!

That theme tune used to drive my mum crazy.
I was born in '88 so I was maybe too old too!
That programme used to scare me; I'm not even sure why!
The Biz was amazing - I found the theme tune on YouTube and could actually remember all of the words
