The Tomorrow People

I was beginning to think I imagined this show on Nickelodeon in the 90s. Always enjoyed watching it however it always air out of order and I never got to finish the first season to know what happened. Maybe it will get picked up by Netflix or Amazon prime.

This is by far my all-time favorite Nickelodeon show when I was growing up. It definitely sparked an interest in parapsychology that has yet to loosen its grip on my imagination. The subject matter and plots were really thought-provoking for a kids show, something I think doesn't happen enough with children's television these days. I loved that it had actors from all over the world and took advantage of filming in the UK (something else I still have a fascination with!). I remember being mesmerized by Adam and all the adventures he was part of. It really made a lasting impression on those of us who watched it as kids. If this were still on TV, I'd still be watching it!

WOW...

I was starting to think nobody else knew of this show! I loved it! Whenever I've tried to ask someone if they knew of it, they didn't know what I was talking about! I'm glad to see it wasn't just a figment of my imagination. It made me feel old as well (I'm 24 lol) I was sad when the show just ceased to exist.... I loved all the old school Nickelodeon shows- (Space Cases, Salute your Shorts, Are you afraid of the Dark?, David the Gnome, The Secret World of Alex Mack, Clarissa Explains it all, All That (The ORIGINAL), Ren & Stimpy, and of course, The Tomorrow People!!) I even remember when Nickelodeon used to show Flipper and Lassie reruns in black & white! They don't make good shows for kids like those any more!

I only have seven words to say aout this great show that I was such a HUGE fan of... They NEED to bring this show back! I remember wishing I could be a tomorrow person and me and my friends would pretend we could transport to different places and communicate telepathically, and it was SO great. They NEED to bring this show back!

I know this makes me sound like an old granny (I'm only 23!) but they don't make shows like this for kids these days. I remember watching this when I was about eleven or twelve, and I was absorbed right from the start.

This revolved around four teenagers with the ability to teleport from place-to-place and use telepathy to communicate. Each storyline was engaging and portrayed a nice level of action, suspense and drama. There was no dumbing down as we saw the kids cope with government agents determined to enslave them to genetically engineered mosquitoes but there was enough humour in the series so it wasn't depressing.

I never watched the Seventies original which it was based on but I think it was a worthy successor and far better than that many children's shows these days, which only seem to focus on girls gushing over boys and infantile slapstick humour. I highly recommend the DVD box set to both fans and those who never had the chance to seen any of the episodes back in the Nineties.
