those five shows that I
have and
You're going to cry. It was called, "Are
you afraid of the dark?" Second picture.
Gladiators,

[Music]
English. Do you speak it? Yes. English.
English. Do you English? English. Do you
speak it? Hia. Hello. Welcome to a new
episode of the Easy English podcast.
Yes. This one, if you're listening, is
also available on YouTube and actually
is a bit more relevant on YouTube.
Today, we're going to be talking talking
about our favorite kid shows when we
were growing up. One, it's going to
reveal exactly why we are the people we
are today, probably because we were
shaped by these shows. Mhm. But to make
it a bit more fun, we're going to show
each other the kind of the pictures of
maybe the title screen or I don't know
like a snapshot and we can maybe guess
what this show is about because probably
I can guess what yours ones will be
based on your personality and probably
you can guess my ones based on my
personality. Oh
dear. Let's go.
A and this you watched as a How old were
you when you watched this? I think it's
even I don't know when it was recorded.
It's probably even before my time, but
was on TV then. Has it got anything to
do with the fact he has four dogs? No.
All sitting on No. some weird Ah, do you
know what? He's a carpenter, I reckon.
Or like an inventor cuz he's got these
weird chairs all stacked up in this
strange way.
No, but inventor kind of gets to the
point a bit. Is it only his name? The
show? No. Is it to do with the dog? I
think his name was a bit included in
that. No, also not the dogs. The dogs
are actually not part of the show. It's
just one episode that I got out. Sorry.
Okay. The dogs featured in one episode.
Yeah. Okay. He lives in like some sort
of wooden caravan. Yes. It will have
something probably then for you to learn
or like sorts of lessons probably called
like fun with me and you or something.
Fun is actually his last name is fun.
Nice. Fun. Lust. Lustig. Yeah. Lustig.
Okay. Tell me what it is and what the
show is about. Well, the show is um you
cannot guess it from the photo. The show
is called Luvenan. Living sun is this
yellow, you know the little pollen that
they have this yellow blossom and then
the pollen blossom that always goes d
like a dandelion. Dandelion. Dandelion.
That's the show name. This one that you
Yeah. And all the spores release into
the world. And the guy is called Peter
Lustik. Peter fun in the show. He used
to live in this wooden caravan
um in nature and he would tell
you little lessons on like DIY, nature,
environment, responsibility of
environment, animals sometimes. And he
would also show you like there would be
like a question, oh my god, this broke
or so or I need this. What could I do?
and he would like invent like a little
way and show you like how you can solve
your own problems. I was like he was an
inventor. That's good. This this setup
really helped me to guess that. Yeah.
Cute. And that a really nice show that
you said nature maybe four times in the
explanation which explains a lot. Great.
Cute. Okay. My one. Yep. Okay. I know.
Why are there naked women?
The hell is that?
Wesling, how old were you watching this?
Um, so the story behind this is when my
parents would go out to get drunk, they
would drop me off at my nana's house on
the weekend. You watched that at Nana?
And I would sit I would build like a
fortress out of cushions and I would eat
this thing called bits, which is like
sliced pieces of cucumber, carrots,
crisps, like a big sort of buffet for a
child, like a feast. And I would park my
butt in front of the television and this
would come on in like a sort of schedule
of different shows. That's not a kid
show, is it? This was one I mean adults
would watch this but I mean as you can
see it's a bit like wait is that did
they all compete or were people would
come on the show contestants and they
would compete in different events and
these people always worked for the show
and had to stop them from winning the
grand prize and it would be a live show
and there audience all the way
around and Wrestlemania no not
Wrestlemania Wrestlemania is the name of
a show isn't it come um fight the boss
something like that. Fight. There's one
name and and it's kind of a historical
name of people that would fight. They
would come into an arena and they would
fight kind of Oh. Oh. Um. Um. Um. Yeah.
Yeah. Um. They come to an arena. Rome.
Yeah. What's his name?
Gladiators arena. Oh, just gladiators.
The show was called second
gladiators. Do you have the power and
the skill? Do you have the speed, the
strength, the heart to be a hero?
All right. Ages. These were the
gladiators, Zodiac, Scorpio, Lightning.
And you do this event where you would um
hit yourselves with those sticks and
when the people fell off in the the
floor, people in the audience had big
foam thumbs and they would do like this
to the song of Another One Bites the
Dust by
Queen. Another world in the middle the
host. Yeah. In the middle was Johnson
and John Fanu who was the next football
player. So, before we move on to the

Okay,
yours. I think I know what this is. I
think this is the only one that you
know. I never watched this, but I love
it. I
think I think it's uh Captain Planet. It
is Captain Planet.
I never watched this. Water, Earth,
fire. Uh, they were all air. I don't
know. He's like the hero. I don't know
how that was, but they had to all come
together, say the element, then put
their hands together, and I think then
he arised or something like that. Ah,
yeah. Right. Maybe I'm completely lying.
I I don't know anymore how it worked,
but they were saving the planet. That
was the
first probably the first ever kid show
that like was like, "Hello, climate
change is happening. Hello, we need to
save the planet now." In the '9s. And I
loved it. They're also from all around
the world. I love it. Oh, really? Oh,
yeah. Okay.
G, a wannabe marine biologist from Asia
controls water. Wow. And I wanted to be
a marine biologist. Now I know
why. I always said I want to be a marine
bi biologist. Sorry, biologist. But
yeah, you know that like I want to swim
with
whales but and save the ocean and okay
Sirius Kuwami from Africa. From Africa
where in Africa from Africa controls the
element of earth.
Isn't that weird? Oh god, that's not
nice, isn't it? Everyone I know from
Asia as well. But then Wheeler, a
loudmouth New Yorker, controls fire.
That's not a New Yorker. That's so
specific. Linker, a logical Russian who
often rebuffs Wheeler's romantic
attentions, controls air. Captain
Planet. Very good.
Okay. Now, for me,
is that some Okay. There are teenagers,
six of them,
and they are scared or excited. Probably
scared. Is that a a little horror show
or so? It is a horror show. Just to
explain more about my personality. Yeah.
Oh my god. Yeah. And so they would all
go to like an an area in the woods by
their house around a fire. Real is it
reality TV? No, it's not reality. this
it was a fictional thing and they would
all sit around in a circle around a
campfire
and one of them would be chosen to tell
a story. Mhm. And then in order to tell
the story they would reach into like a
bag of spiders. A bag Yeah. not of
spiders. And it would be like something
like magic dust and they would Oh,
sorry. No.
And they would blow it onto the fire.
The fire would I think I've seen that
once. I think I've seen that once. I
think how's it called?
It would always be a horror story.
Horror by the fire? No. Fire stories. It
was called Are you afraid of the dark?
Are you afraid of the dark? Why? Well,
I'm not, I think. Are you? Um, I was
watching this, but I would love it. I'd
be sucked into the television watching
this. And they would tell different
stories of like dolls coming to life.
Um, there would be paranormal activity.
There would be monsters under the bed.
Oh, it was great. Really good. Next one.
Ah, sorry. The title is already in, but
you don't know anything to do with that.
Pumukul is a in English. Is that a
cobalt?
I don't know. Oh, goblin. Goblin. Ah, I
read yesterday he's a goblin, but I I
didn't know that Goblin is really that.
Two of the three shows you've picked are
like cute little old men who are I guess
he's also like a cobbler or a worker or
something like a a craftsman or
something. Yeah. So he has his workshop.
Oh, I didn't let you guess but you see
it all. Yeah. Um he's got master.
Meister. Master. Uhhuh. And his pumul.
This pumokil lives with him and only he
can see him. When people come in the
workshop, people don't see it. So he
always does something funny and lets
things fall and stuff. Are you stealing
his tools and stuff? Yeah. And they they
then live together and Oh, and get like
they they're like father and son figure
kind of. But he's only he only sees him
and no one else does. And he's very
funny and does funny things. I asked
Shhat JPT to connect all those five
shows that I
have and
you're going to cry. No,
I just think it really Yeah, it really
shows who I am. Anyway, let's go on.
Do you know this? Of course. Power
Rangers. I watched that, too. I watched
that, too. They were cool. What do you
remember from the Mighty Morphin Power?
Oh, I didn't know about Mighty Morphin.
Uh, I have no idea. They probably fight
for the good against the bad. It was all
about teamwork cuz they would all
individually be really big good fighters
and they would fight this thing which a
evil woman made in a clay machine. and
it would get and it would like terrorize
the city and they would always get
beaten by it. And then at the end what
happens is the the thing always gets
massive as big as a building. And then
in order to defeat it they have to come
together and they have like oh yeah
animals that they all reflect like
rhinoceros pterodactyl
[Music]
um
mouse and then form like some dinosaur
and then it would defeat hamster evil
powers. But it's all about teamwork.
A is that his beard or his clothes? His
beard. It's a proper beard like that.
Yep. Very cute. Okay. I'm going to try
to guess this show. It's probably just
the name of the character. Okay. Well,
yeah, but but it has a name of what he
does. Ah, okay. And I reckon a little
bit like Are You Afraid of the Dark? He
reaches into this bag and he like
creates like a dream world.
Yeah. or he can change. He basically
puts children to bed. So it was always
on on I think seven and it goes only
like 5 minutes or 10 minutes.
Um I don't even know they are called
Zmention. Oh the sun man. He then
probably the sunman Zmanion because you
always said to kids the sleep that you
have in your eyes and like suns and
that's what he has. He puts that in your
in you and then you go to sleep with
good dreams. Oh, cute. I'm just thinking
of this uh Sandman song and by
Metallica.
Oh, actually, can I can we play a song
here from a show? Okay. No, but you can
play it for me. Is that it? And off to
bed. Would you watch it before you went
to sleep
again?
Yeah. Yeah. Really? Oh, cute. And he it
would be better if it was the Sand Man
by Metallica cuz he does have like a
metal as beard.
That's true. Would have fit very well. I
think it fits also to me, you know, like
I like little daydreaming worlds. Cute.
So, I actually know this. I think No,
you don't. Yeah. Oh, God. Okay. Tell me
what you think the title is and what the
There is a clue. One clue. He has a hat
on. Yeah. The summer hat. Is he Is he
Mr. Hatfish?
[Music]
No, actually. Oh, he's Is he a shark?
Yeah. Are you afraid of sharks because
of him? That's why I was going to bring
up. I wonder if my fear for sharks came
from him. That shark is really lovely.
Sharky. Sharky is the pink one. Sharky
and Stitch. Sharky and you'll never get
it. Sharky and George. George. And the
hat is not a summer hat, but there's a
there's a profession where you'd wear
that hat. Think of like 1950s.
A driver. Not a driver. No. What would
be an exciting job for them to have
that's not a driver? Be so boring. Okay,
just tell me. Uh, they were detectives.
Okay. They're Shark and George climb
busters of the sea. I I have watched
this 100% somehow. And they would
basically solve crimes. I don't think
murders, but they would solve crimes.
And then a lot ocean crimes, but it
would always begin with them in like an
old sort of
um in something like what was the like a
prohibition bar and there'd be like slow
jazz playing in the background and
there'd be smoke filling the room and
they'd be drinking like fish whiskey.
It's always like like a slow jazz film
noir kind of backdrop. But hopefully
that gives you an insight
into why I am the person I am. It does.
Scared of sharks. But you like the sea.
I love the sea. I also love to watch all
the series under the sea. Under the sea.
Do you say that? Under the sea. It's
Ariel. No. Da da da da.
Okay. Last your last one. Okay. Wow.
This is the one I saw when I was
flicking through. Okay. Nautical themed,
sea themed. Explains a lot. Uh, is that
they're obviously like cleaning a
cannon. I don't know what they do in
that moment. That looks like a cannon
from a pirate ship. Were they pirates?
I don't think so. Okay. So, the show is
called After the Bear. What could he be?
What could the show actually
captain bar bear? Captain bear.
Very very close. Yeah. How he looks.
Blue. Captain Blue Bear. Blow Bear.
Captain Blow Bear. Captain Blow
Bear. Like Blackbeard the pirate but
Blue Bear. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Yeah. And he
always told
stories. Um yeah, it was all about also
like fantasy stories but learnings and
he was a captain. I love the sea. Can I
now that's my last one. Yeah. Give you
the ship the summary of summary. So they
have all educational and value based
content for children. They all teach
something. Okay.
Um, Mike Leven explains nature,
technology, and the environment in a
curious, handsome way. Captain Planner
teaches environmental awareness,
teamwork, and global responsibility.
Captain Blower encourages creativity,
humor, and critical thinking through
absor tales. Yeah, he always tells
stories. Zme brings daily rituals and
bedtime calm with gentle imaginative
stories. and Puma the little um problem
teaches life lessons through everyday
situations and magical mischief. So they
all have educational content. They have
the connection to nature environment or
everyday life. They have iconic
characters as role models. Don't know
how that is really.
They have strong moral or social
messages. That's you.
Timeless cult status. cult status. In
summary, though very different in tone,
style and content, these five be love ch
shows all share one essential mission to
entertain, inspire, and educate children
while also teaching values that last a
lifetime. Still here, they're prime
examples of children's programming with
heart, mind, and meaning. Oh,
go on. Oh, wait, wait, wait. put maybe
is that the kid from um six sons.
Imagine that's what I watch as a
child. I see dead people.
You're never going to guess his name,
but he's called Bernard. And guess what?
The TV shows looks like a Bernardet.
Bernard's clock. Bernard's
tard's watch. Bernard's watch. Okay. And
guess what? That's my coffee. Give me my
coffee back for that. And guess what
happened on Burners? What could the
watch do? The watch had a power. Get him
to school in time. On time. Something to
do with time. Small matter. Oh, time
travel. No, the next thing.
What is the next thing? He would click
it and then something would happen. Stop
the time. Yeah. Cool. And then he would
change everything. Yeah, exactly. Nice.
Usually he would do like really naughty
things to begin with, of course. And
then he would see like it would mess
with his life then because he would
change sort of the butterfly effect.
Butterfly effect. Exactly. Oh, that
makes sense for you too. The fantasy
factor. Burner's watch. Burner's watch.
Okay. So, let's let's see what yours
have in common. Oh, God. Give me a
summary. Explain my character and
Burners
watch. Imagination, escapism, and
adventure.
Yeah. Each show gave kids an escape into
another world, offering superpowers or
control, high stakes action and physical
competition, mystery, suspense, and
spooky fun. Cartoonish detective
adventurous. Cartoonish detective
adventures underwater. My god. Okay. So,
we have TV icons. We have imagination,
escapism, and adventure. Yeah.
Empowerment of young viewers. They all
tap into a theme of empowerment, making
kids or teens feel like they could do
extraordinary things. Wow. International
appeal. These shows cross borders and
became hits in multiple countries. Yeah.
Power Rangers. Yeah. Probably genre v
variety with a shared cool
factor.
So we have dramas, action, sci-fi, sport
game show, horror anthology, animation
detective, and fantasy drama. The cool
element. Uh, martial arts. And I did
martial arts. Real life superheroes
competition. Are you a real life
superhero? I'm not that competitive
either. Campfire stories. Spooky
tension. You like spookiness and you
like camping. I do like camping.
Underwater crime fighting duo. I love
that also.
And stopping time. Every kid's dream
power. Summary. Despite the differences,
these five shows share a spirit of
imagination, empowerment, and adventure.
All wrapped in the distinctive style of
90s kids programming. They made everyday
kids feel like they could be heroes,
champions, detectives, or masters of
time, even if just for 30 minutes. Thank
you for that, Easy. That was a really
great summary from Chat GP. Now, I leave
you to it. I
say bye for now.
