Two comics I remember reading(and I still have the wallet for Warlord and the badge btw) were Starlord and The Crunch, as well as Fireball(I have the pendant that was given away as well)-see Fireball scans below-credit to the original chap that did it for me.
These might jog your memories.

Champion The Wonder Horse

Michael Bentines Potty Time
The Big Match with Brian Moore
How!
The Herbs
Bless This House (Ok not a kids prog but I used to love it)
Out Of Town presented by the late Jack Hargreaves

Hehe, as for sweets I remember getting packs of chocolate ciggys, each one wrapped in rolling paper.....you'd probably do time if you sold em to kids now

there was also imitation sweet tobacco (spanish gold I think it was called). It's no wonder I smoke now.

Dandy, Beano and my sister used to take a comic called T.V Comic-I think that's what it was called

Out of the same stable (Hanna Barbera?). Astronut was a personal favourite - you're the only other person I know who seems to remember it.

Don't think anyone's mentioned The Singing Ringing Tree, which outright wierdness traumatised an entire generation.

No it was Terrytoons well before Hanna Barbera became well known here-they shown in the early days of Channel Four here.

I can just about remember the 70's Pinky & Perky show and my sister had a non-stringed puppet of one of them-they were a huge phenomenon-forerunner to Spitting Image but not before Gerry Anderson had the idea with the likes of Twizzle(too young to remember that) & Torchy which I do remember seeing on the old Southern tv channel down in Littlehampton along with UFO in the mornings.
