Who remembers this local children's show?

I couldn't see the video initially, but I figured that you were referring to 小DD! I don't actually remember the story but I remember an episode when 小DD's battery was thrown away into a drain by the block. The first time I saw the block in real life I was like so excited!

i also remember catching spider, and buying fighting fish

I've got to see the clip to remember but I know how to sing the song...

蓝蓝的天空云河里 有支小百船。船上有颗桂花树， 白兔在游玩。。。

I always thought it was 银河 rather than 云河.

wow, i was just transported to my childhood! 89er here.

 

i remember the ding dang and hiro cake. i also remember we had to buy milk in school and drink, squat by the drain and brush out teeth.

 

i was in the mummies alive era, but i managed to watch STREET SHARKS, TNMT. cartoons back then had morals and a story.

 

now we have a stupid yellow sponge making a fool of himself and laughing like an idiot. no wonder the kids nowadays are screwed.

[Silverelf]

89 er?

I didn't think 89 still squat by drain to brush teeth lol buy then again dental hygiene is evergreen.

[lutein]

YES! I am always searching YouTube for theme songs of old SBC shows. The earliest SBC show I could remember was Seletar Robbery (实里达大劫案). The SBC shows in the 1980s and early 1990s were so good. That was when SBC was still using producers and directors from Hong Kong. I heard that many of these producers left after SBC corporatised to TCS. Standards fell really badly after that!

 

I really enjoyed this one: Kopi-O!

And then there's this unforgettable robotic voice during the 8 O'Clock News on Channel 8:

"Time by Raymond Weil... 8 Pee Am!!"

[wait4me]

Yep, that first case of the two missing boys. The Chinese tabloids kept fanning the rumour that they were offered as sacrifices to keep the MRT tracks stable. It was around the time the MRT was being constructed.

 

The 2nd case was the Adrian Lim case at Toa Payoh. Mega big case at that time man. He, his wife and his mistress were all hanged.

[wait4me]

yeah adrian lim ....

 

wife and mistress in cahoots .. even help the husband sia...

gong tao at its best

Kylie Minogue as I remembered her:

 

 

and when channel 8 was still showing Hong Kong TV series in Cantonese. Remember this show when Chow Yuen Fatt was around 20? It emptied the streets every night on its 80 episodes run...

The 2 missing boys case is still unsolved, though there are several theories about this case.

Remembered seeing the posters everywhere and can see parents everywhere very concerned over the safety of their own kids.

A very sad case.
