Always enjoyed Abbot & Costello on a Saturday morning. The Virginian was a western that was a favourite of mine, one you don't hear many talk about.

Virgina was a classic
 
Triton (spying and a submarine during the Napoleonic wars).
Dr Who during the Patrick Troughton era.
Vision On
The Silver Sword (only shown once, to my knowledge, and I missed the final episode, though I'd already heard it read on Jackanory).
Jackanory for Roald Dahl, Clement Freud, Littlenose etc.
The Singing Ringing Tree
Deputy Dawg
Mighty Mouse
 
The Goodies and Laurel and Hardy (now have the complete DVD set). :D

Duckula!! I've got some of those on DVD. Love David Jason. Forgotten about Magic Roundabout. And also Dangermouse!!

...and I'm surprised nobody has mentioned...

Tiswas

I was probably a little too old for all the 'typical' Cosgrove-Hall things, like Duckula, but they did a wicked cartoon when I was in my twenties called 'Victor & Hugo'... I used to tape that on a Friday afternoon and watch it in the early hours of Saturday when I rolled in from a good night out!
 
I forgot to say - I also used to like watching Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton movies! :thumbs:
 
Dear old Oliver Postgate. Ivor the engine and Bagpuss were favourites. Wasn't so fond of that other one that was his.

Oh and Chorlton and the Wheelies and the Flumps. And Take Hart with Morph and that strange caretaker.

Didn't like Tiswas. I was too young for it I think.

Also the Goodies. Just got into them as they finished. Kitten Kong!!
