“Magundeja” or whatever the mole used to say. I think it was “magundeja”… I think that was from Czechoslovakia. ---

Never heard of it so I just checked it out and it seems the show is as old as you are and was on long enough for you to have seen it very early on. 🙂 > [@Someone](#): > > (and is) Really? That´s nice! I haven´t seen the show in years but it seems Shaun the Sheep is on there very often. And Kaptn Blaubär (RIP Wolfgang Völz) hasn´t been on there for years. ---

I also saw lots of Tintin adaptations, most of those were I think from the 60s. But I distinctly remember one that must have been a multipart TV thing, because it had several episodes I watched regulary and was an adaption from the comic where they fly to the moon on a red and white rocketship and stay there for a while. ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > Really? That´s nice! I haven´t seen the show in years … I’ve seen the show in the last years only by accident. 🙂 But the Mole was part of the show at least until 2017. Beside that the mole was still part of the WDR mascots. But AFAIK it was aired (like Käptn Blaubär) on KiKa as it’s own show. 🙂 ---

The Tintin cartoon I watched as a child was contemporary: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Adventures\_of\_Tintin\_(TV\_series)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin_(TV_series)) But yeah, I think there was a Belgian cartoon from the '60s or '70s as well. I’ve never seen that. ---
