Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons
'This is the voice of the Mysterons...' The phrase that instantly lets everyone know that the indestructible Captain Scarlet isn't far away!
Set in 2068, Captain Scarlet presents the hostilities between Earth and a race of Martians known as the Mysterons. After human astronauts attack their city on Mars, the vengeful Mysterons declare war on Earth, initiating a series of reprisals that are countered by Spectrum, a worldwide security organisation. Spectrum boasts the extraordinary abilities of its primary agent, Captain Scarlet. During the events of the pilot episode, Scarlet acquires the Mysteron healing power of "retro-metabolism" and is thereafter considered to be virtually "indestructible", being able to recover fully from injuries that would normally be fatal.

Funnybones
A little something now that isn't meant to be scary, it's just something to tickle your Funnybones!
Funnybones was a Welsh children's television comedy series which was based on the eponymous series of books by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, which were illustrated by Andre Amstutz and focused upon the adventures of a gang of skeletons (sometimes known as the Funnybones). There was Big Funnybone (whose catchphrase was "Good idea."), Little Funnybone, (who was the brains of the outfit), and Dog ("These Bones") Funnybone (whose catchphrase was "Woof."). Each episode was 5 minutes in length. The voices were provided by popular comedian Griff Rhys Jones who also played Moon Man, who served as the narrator in the TV series.

Scooby Doo Where Are You?
This post is for dear Casey Kasem, the voice of Shaggy who sadly passed away today. RIP Casey.
Scooby Doo, Where Are You! is the first incarnation of the long-running Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Scooby-Doo. The series featured four teenagers—Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers—and their talking brown Great Dane dog named Scooby-Doo, who solve mysteries involving supposedly supernatural creatures through a series of antics and missteps.

The Borrowers
Have you ever been looking for something that you knew should be where you last had it, but it's just not there? Ever thought it might have been stolen by little people? It's The Borrowers!
The Clock Family are "borrowers," tiny people who live in the houses of regular sized "human beans" (a borrower mispronunciation of human beings). They survive by borrowing all they need from big people and try to keep their existence secret. The main characters are a teenage borrower girl named Arriety and her parents, Pod and Homily. During a borrowing expedition with her father and contrary to borrower nature, Arriety befriends a human boy named George who lives in the home and develops a friendship with him.
The tiny family, who live under the kitchen floorboards of an old manor, are eventually discovered by the other humans who occupy the home and are forced to flee into the English countryside. After finding an old boot to live in the family befriends a fellow Borrower - a young man who goes by the name "Dreadful Spiller". Spiller helps them find a more permanent home by reuniting them with relations who had formerly ran away from the same manor after one of them was seen and eventually relocated in the caretaker's cabin on the manor's grounds.
