Do you remember

February 26 2010

I was talking to an old boy today and he was moaning about how the kids of today watch to much tv, blah,blah,blah. Anyway it started me thinking of when I was a kid and the shows I watched. I remember shows like Flipper,Gilligans  island, Skippy, mr squiggle, bill and ben,road runner(my favourite), Disney.Then there was Hoges and Kingswood country.Hey,Hey used to be on a Saturday morning. Hell there was heaps I loved watching but the alcohol seems to have killed too many brain cells and I cant remember too many more. There was a show that used to be on on a Friday or Saturday night,it had a fox as the compare and some big mosters in it. It wasn't a cartoon, they were puppets. That would be going back 30 odd years, anyone remember it and what it was called??   So guys what shows do you remember as a kid? pete.

Countdown of course and waiting for the number 1 song..I hated Fernando - ABBA ! it would be on every week..Who cares about the drums Fernando !!   Scars !

    Aunty Jack was the best! I'll rip your bloody arms off. Lol Graham Bond worked in the same architects practice that I started in. He left long b4 I got there of course but his perspective drawings were very clever and highly detailed. I think he rode a Harley. hugs Stalky

    Damn, I'm finding it hard to find ones mentioned above that I don't know....Here's a tough one for you.There used to be a clip inbetween shows on ABC I think that was basically a music clip. In the clip there was either a frog or a grasshopper with a guitar, I think, walking down a road and other animals were joining him as he went along. Cannot think of what song it was from. Anyone got any idea?My son said his current favourite show on tv is Hogans Heroes. Gotta love Foxtel, of the shows mentioned above a lot are still being shown, some more often than others.The ones I can think of that are;MASHHogans HeroesCountdown (only the music clips)The GoodiesQuantum LeapStar TrekThunderbirdsDr Who (usually newer ones though)Bewitched (just looked there is 3 episodes in a row tomorrow morning...lol)Magnum PI Hawaii five OGet SmartTrying to think of some othersPower Rangers (although i never really watched it)Star Blazers (or something like that)Huckleberry HoundQuickdraw Mcgraw (Damn this is on Foxtel as well)Snugglepuss (and this one)Top Cat (wow just saw it's on Foxtel too...lol)Scooby Doo (still on Foxtel)The Flintstones (Foxtel)The Jetsons (FoxtelThe Yogi Bear Show (Foxtel)Tom and Jerry (Foxtel)The Looney Tunes Show (Foxtel)Foghorn LeghornSylvester and TweetyThe skunk...what's his name Pepe le Pew or something like thatSpeedy Gonzalisgee I'm going good with the carton characters..lol What does that say about my viewing habits or maybe just cause the main shows were already mentioned.Hart to HartKnight RiderThe A-Team (Foxtel)McGivor (Foxtel)Fantasy Island (Foxtel)Happy Days (Foxtel)Starsky and Hutch (Foxtel)I dream of Jeannie (Foxtel)Murder she Wrote (Foxtel)Ok the last 4 I jogged my mind by looking at this weeks TV1 schedule.Still remember the first video recorder we had with a remote that was connected by a long cable to it.

    I lived for Dr Who and The Goodies, then there was The Kenny Everett Show and of course the plethora of Pommie sitcoms; Are you being served, Love they Neighbour, George and Mildred etc etc.I like the new Dr Who but must say re-watching the old ones I wonder how I could have missed all the strings holding up alien beings. Ahh must have been a lot simpler of mind then, wish I was back there!

HO!Monkey.Gummi Bears (thank for DVD collections, I got the whole lot sent out from the states)
