The Tomorrow People

I remember watching this all the time when I was a kid, and it's like... when it stopped playing on the channel I was used to seeing it on, I forgot all about it. The only problem was by the time I remembered the name of the show, I was in an area where no one had heard of it, and everyone thought I was just... nuts. Or that I was remembering an episode of 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?' instead. I always thought this was a good show because, as I remember it anyway, the people with these abilities were very close knit, granted I don't remember much BUT I do remember that it was always a show I was eager to get home and see. In my house at the time, the only TV was good TV. Anything 'trashy' wasn't allowed... I'm glad to know it's available on DVD

This was an excellent series, I was only 7 at the time it was on, but boy was it enjoyable, and I still have images embedded in my head of this series. People being infected and having to hide their green eyes with shades or contacts, Mosquito's escaping and causing havoc, and action every episode! It was a good show, because it had a plot to it, an exciting one, and kids TV nowadays can't compare to the early 90's! This was a super show!

This was the first show I really enjoyed which didn't star fluffy animals......I say enjoyed, I had nightmares but just couldn't resist watching every week. They don't make them like this anymore which is a shame. All I can really say about this show is I miss it and I wish they'd bring it back.

I don't know if it was just in the states or just for a period of time, but I know this show as "The Tomorrowers" which is why I could never find it on here I guess. But it was great! Quality TV for sure.

It was on Nickelodeon for some time and then just kinda disappeared. They could all teleport and do the ESP thing, so check it out if you get the chance!

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.
