Don't you mean Channel 7?

I'm enjoying it too, there have been HEAPS of episodes I haven't seen before, and I used to watch it every single time it was repeated on 10 (usually over summer).

That's alright........I got so used to seeing it on 10 as well that for a while I kept telling people it was on 10. Easy mistake.

Astro boy: pretty much THE TV show for a generation of kids, so far ahead of his time, I love the episode where there is a human murdering robots because robots had killed his mother, but it turns out he was adopted and his mother was actually a robot too and he realised the errors of his ways. Being a robot Dr Elephun fixed her and mother and son were reunited.

The Mysterious cities of gold is a show that I don't remember too clearly but there are certain sequences which have stuck in my brain, almost like remembering a past life. A couple of these are when they use their medallions to unlock a giant stone condor. I always thought it was the lost city gold tho.

Honorable mention to The Banana Splits and Kimber the white Lion.

More as stopgap filler were shows such as Danger Mouse and Roger Ramjet and Banana Man

I almost forgot He-man and Voltron.

 

[horse&duck]

How about the show set in a Canadian Timber town near a big lake or the sea. Can't remember it's name.

Characters included.. Nick the Greek, Relick and Molly


F Troop is another.

[lenny&carl]

This thread turned out good.

Most have been mentioned.

Excellent shows... The Prisoner, Welcome Back Cotter, Get Smart, Cheers, Starblazers (Awesome Japanese flying-battleship outer space cartoon MASH (it has stood so many repeats for a reason.), Married with Children (AL Bundy - spiritual guru to the early 90's "Be Miserable" movement.) Drop the Dead Donkey. I Clavdivs.

OK shows
Alf
NIght Court
Herman's Head
Knight rider
Red Dwarf - not really old, but an established classic.
I dream of Jeannie - don't laugh, it actually was pretty watchable.
Chelmsford 123 - Britcom set in Roman times England.




Embarrasing shows
Mind Your Language
On the Buses - (if you like on the buses have a look at what I did to the bigfooty's 100 sexiest men thread, page 8.
Small Wonder - about a 9 year old girl robot and her wacky japes. Profoundly unfunny one liners and situations. Sacharine. Sinister.

How could I forget V? It seemed more plausible than the 6 o'clock news did, when I was a kid.

I was never allowed to watch V when I was a kid. Don't know why, we weren't really allowed to watch much at all.

Another good call!!!!! I'd LOVE to see this back on telly, it was on the ABC a couple of years back (I don't remember exactly when). My brother has the whole lot on video but I'd still like to see it on telly, some of the best comedy you will ever see.

 

[The Hippie]

They've had some of the old series' on the Comedy Channel on Austar recently, lioness. If you know someone with payTV they could copy some for you.

Has anyone mentioned The Dave Allen show yet? He was one hilarious dude.

I think I know the one you mean, they had a a whole lot of pine logs floating down the river and some indigenous people.

Anyone else remember the Addams Family?
