"No-one told you comedy could ever be so lame, Every week so different and yet always just the same. We'll be Chums forever, We'll be jolly good Chums". (intro song for chums)This show has really marked the childhood of many British children of its time. Ant and Dec have been around for a long time so i guess people really felt comfortable with them. Although I remember Live and Kicking with Emma Forbes and Andi Peters, SMTV really made me want to get out of bed early on a Saturday morning. Its legendary pokemon fights are unforgettable!Everything they did was funny and original!

Saturday Mornings haven't been the same since SM:TV finished. Ant,Dec and Cat were the highlight of my week and it wasn't the same after they left. I actually cried when it ended, sad I know, but it was that good. Challenge Ant was great(that Geordie gas bag!), Eat My Goal was great, Wonky Donkey was great and Chums was the icing on the cake. The best Chums was the one where Ant supposedly had the disease where his eyes popped out of his head and all the celebrities made a song. Now all Saturday mornings have to offer is crap, crap and more crap. SM:TV Live needs to be brought back and soon. Someone needs to make a petition to have this show reinstated. So raise your glasses to SM:TV Live.

Saturday morning television was pretty much ruled in the 90's by Live and Kicking over on the BBC until Ant, Dec and Cat launched this breath of fresh air onto Saturday mornings. No longer, were the kids young enough to still be watching Saturday morning TV but too old for the endless boring cartoons L&K showed, bored. With the great games, sketches and general FUN such as Challenge Ant and Chums SM:TV revitalised the mornings.For three years it was great, then disaster. Ant and Dec leave and Cat is left alone with all those ridiculous people who were fired from previous TV parts. The great show was ruined.Now lets see a few years after the 'glory' times of SMTV what ITV and BBC can offer now? ITV show the plain boring 'Ministry of Mayhem' and the BBC, well lets just say the title of their answer says it all 'Dick and Dom in da bungalow', the names, the fact they include 'da' into the title already point to it being terrible. And after closer inspection? Well I saw 5 minutes before losing the will to live.Bring back Ant and Dec's SM:TV Live!

This has been one of the best Saturday morning kids shows there's been for ages. National Television Award winning and British Comedy Award nominated Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly along with BAFTA winning Cat Deeley were just the perfect trio of presenters for this show. The programmes that featured on the show were very good, but I only want to concentrate on SM:TV itself. The highlights of the show that I always looked forward to (besides the programmes) were: Challenge Ant, Cat Deeley with her rotten toothed character, and Wonky Donkey. But the part I always enjoyed was the spin off (and kind-of mickey take) of Friends, called Chums. Every episode they had a special guest, and they had a relationship going between Dec and Cat. Sadly it ended, and Ant and Dec started I'm a Celebrity and Saturday Night Takeaway, and Cat went on to present Fame Academy and Star In Their Eyes. When it was on, this was just brilliant Saturday morning fun. It won the BAFTAs for Children's Award Best Entertainment (twice) and Kid's Vote, and it won the British Comedy Award for People's Choice Award. Ant and Dec were number 56 on The 100 Worst Britons (why?), Cowell was number 28, and they were number 7 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, and the programme was number 27 on The 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows. Very good!
