From "Pitige Tijden" (Spicy Times) to the MegaBlubberPowerRace, Telekids was unique and entertaining television that an entire generation grew up with.
RTL had a golden opportunity, but after Carlo and Irene left, they were never able to recapture their success. Their successor, Meneer Kaktus (Meneer Cactus) and later Keet! (Keet!), never came close to those glory years.
In this video, we delve into the rise and fall of Telekids, and how RTL ultimately preferred to lose that successful children's program.
