There’s a Part 1. They were at the top of that list.

But they show ended, and a new show started in 2000, with the same name, so that’s a bit tricky.

ACA was basically the same show when it resumed, with the same network and producer. Same with The Block when it resumed.
The Sunrise name had multiple uses, the only common thread was they had the same name.

Another kids show that I completely forgot about was ‘The Ratties’, which was first aired in 1987/88 but was repeated in 1994 (according to the TV guides posted here).
This was narrated by the one and only Spike Milligan and written by his daughter Laura. The theme is as whimsical and wacky as you’d imagine:
