So I am nearly 100% convinced this was in _Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow_ and that the girl who had that nightmare was Lucy and the girl that she chased after and turned around revealing to shockingly have no facial features was her sister Kate (I clearly remember the hat and the hair now). ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/3/31131b3f25244669e410c0dab55c154950575fc5.jpeg) Especially taking a look at the first episode I´m convinced this was the show I´m thinking of.

> [@Someone](#): > > Are all episodes online? Looks like! At least on Dailymotion. I barely remember anything else, like a character having a toothache and that this probably informed my pre schooler mind of what schools would look like (with 19th century australia turning out to be nothing like 1990s germany, hehe). I guess I mostly watched it because I watched anything that was on Bim Bam Bino in the late 80s/early 90s. Apparently it was popular enough with viewers so they named a character on there Lucy: [Bim Bam Bino – Wikipedia](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bim_Bam_Bino#Sonstiges) But yeah, it´s a 25 hour show, so I don´t know yet! 😅 I definitely will watch Saber Rider which has been on Amazon Prime for a while now! 🕶 ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/1/1a2d48443f3cf9dd8979a7d2caeb116f19ee9341.jpeg) ---

That show originally ran from 1988 through 1992 (the first incarnation of Tele 5). By 1993 I watched more Pro 7 than the then new Kabelkanal (yet to be renamed to Kabel 1), stuff like X-Men, Batman etc. I watched that show mostly when it was on the original Tele 5 at the very beginning of the 90s (As in 1990 onwards). But I know they lasted a bit longer than that, even though I didn´t see it as much after 1992. My parents have a picture of 6-year old me holding onto a Bino plushie(I even remember where they bought it). ---

Same here, we had antenna reception up until late 1992 when we moved house and there we had cable. You can still tell from the movies and shows we taped at that time. I taped over our first Star Wars recording in 1994 when it was shown on Pro 7. Before that we had a low quality antenna recording taped from a Sat 1 transmission where I only recently learned that this was the german TV premiere of Star Wars (Doh!).

Oh, the Roger Rabbit one also scared me a lot as a kid. But if there is ONE thing that scared the crap out of me when I was a child, it was an Italian anti-drug PSA in the late 80’s / early 90’s. All Italians here know what I’m talking about.

This one was also very creepy for children my age. Ask any Italian born between 1983 and 1987 “tell me two ads from 1990 that you remember vividly” they’ll say “the drugs one and the AIDS one”. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/k33ta6HBotc/hqdefault.jpg "[TV 90] Spot campagna contro AIDS (1990)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k33ta6HBotc) The problem with this one is that as a kid I knew what AIDS was, but the sex part was of course totally unclear to me. So I and lots of friends began thinking that AIDS was highly contagious and transmitted by simple proximity. So we were like “how can we know if a person has AIDS and avoid them?” ---

I nearly took the scene where the knight on the horse jumps out of the closet in Time Bandits but couldn´t find a good picture of it. #3 is from The Neverending Story Part 2 $ #5 is from Look Who´s Talking Too $$ #6 is The Adventures Of Baron Munchhausen #7 is from Little House on the Prairie $$$ (And for the sake of completition #1 is Bionic Woman, #2 is Who Framed Roger Rabbit and #4 is Time Bandits) $ Probably the only time I actually briefly hid under my seat in the movie theatre. $$ Yeah, a comedic scene, but I briefly paused next time I went to the toilet. $$$ The scary thing was the context. Most of the episode is a spoof of Rear Window, and when that is resolved BAM, they hit you on the head with “Yes, the headless horseman is REAL!
