[JUBJUB]

When this BF start?

Are you asking when did this site start ?
If so I'm not exactly sure but I was posting in 1999 and it was a young site then.So maybe 98 or 99 it started.
I must be due some long service leave soon

Channel 9 was pretty much 24 hours a day from the late 70s onwards - you had the late movie at Midnight, the late, late movie, then the late, late, late movie or Ironside/Gideon's Way/some ITV trip, etc. Hard to believe but the ABC would finish around 11pm, right through to the mid 80s, until Rage kicked in on weekends.

Anyone remember watching Night Owl Theatre hosted by Hal Todd?

I think LSL on BF is a red card

I remember when I used to sit up and watch these clowns. Good fun.

Outer limits scared the bejeesus out of me - that theme still gives me the creeps

I used to watch the Limits around at a mates place and then had to ride the bike in the dark home past Charlie Magosilins in Britannia st,Charlie was a Dwarf,250 years old stood about 3 ft high and had a white beard that reached the ground,but Jesus he put the wind up me like no one on a footy field or a woman ever did.

would be terrific to see the original shows in all their entirety appear on YouTube someday.

Unfortunately they probable suffered the same fate as the old footy tapes

Pot Black, Eddie Charlton early 70s.

Do you remember a couple of the preceding programmes to Pot Black?
Probably not that memorable, but nevertheless:
-Sow What, with the cheery Kevin Heinz, "Cheerio", and
-Steptoe and Son- this was the ultimate pathocomedy.

I Loved Eddie Charlton.

 

[Vdubs]

I think so. Still, you'd be surprised at how many people would record this stuff on the old beta/vhs tapes and actually keep them stored away so perhaps we will see them converted to the internet in time.

I have a mate who has every Footy Record of every game he has attended since the 1960's!

Remember the North game really well. Afterwards Barassi said on TV that Geelong was a "really, really good team". That was about as much praise as I'd ever heard Barassi heap on Geelong.

And Ian Nankervis' goal was a gem. He'd worked his way up the sodden field in driving rain, weaved his way through traffic and slotted a "captain's" goal. After that win Cats' supporters dared to dream of a premiership......

Many years ago when Barassi did the special comments on 3AW- in a Geelong game (where Geelong were going very ordinary) Barassi said Geelong are playing " Happy Hammond " type football - at which point Rex Hunt had a laughing fit - but that was back in the days of the old ( brittle) Geelong - thank god those days are long gone

 

[Hot Tin Roof]

Ahhhh!! More memories. We need a "Nostalgia" sub board on the Geelong board, I think.

I look back and don't know how I fitted in playing outdoors after school and still watching maximum TV. My earliest memory is The Three Stooges (always preferred Curly to Shemp). Then there was Leave it to Beaver; Denis the Menace ("Hello Mr Wilson!"); Green Acres; The Paddy Duke Show; and of the Australian shows not already mentioned - most of which featured the same core group of support 'actors' - Matlock Police; Hunter; Skippy ("What's that, Skip?". Looking back, it was just plain stupid that everyone was able to communicate with a kangaroo). Could go on but wont.

Gidget, The Flying Nun.
Skippy?... I'm tipping either Alwyn Kurts or Charles 'Bud' Tingwell played the kangaroo

I've said it already... but this thread is ace

And what I like best is how our has just gone onto anything and everything and is actually showing different sides of posters here.

Far out... Comedy Inc..... that was one of the worst pieces of shit shows ever.... except those clips with the trains would always make me laugh..

The rest was rubbish.. especially that knob who did the Kochie impersonation

Agree!... Comedy Inc was so bad Eric Banna could have grabbed a gig. TV was always on in the background with a mad rush for seats when the trains came on

There is a DVD set of League Teams available through Sports Delivered, but I wouldn't recommend it. Once the nostalgia moment fades (about two minutes in), it truly is awful viewing. Lou's dud jokes told without any timing fall flat, Bob's wondering out loud 'what do we show next', and Jack's near-death memories of who played back pocket for the Tiges in 1923. Yeah, I know - sounds great!!! But after ten minutes the dog leaves the room, after 20 you want to catch a train and hang out in Franskton. It's that bad. Alas, some things are best left as memories, and to then let the memories fade.

Pot Black, Eddie Charlton early 70s.

my earliest tv memories are My Names McGoolie - What's Yours, and the Mavis Bramston Show.

feeling ancient ...

Gidget, The Flying Nun.
Skippy?... I'm tipping either Alwyn Kurts or Charles 'Bud' Tingwell played the kangaroo

Now there was a stupid premise, a nun who could fly! About as stupid as a kangaroo that could solve the world's problems, or a stranded tourist boat the crew and passengers of which had access to every luxury but still couldn't get off the island....

 

[Sttew]

lol skippy

that is actually still on TV very early in on in the morning.
I watched a full episode for the first time just the other week.
As Aussie as you will ever get which doesn't exist anymore due to the reality television and the me, me, me self-absorbed crap we have today.

How hot was Clancy, the teenage girl who lived with the Hammonds? You wonder what mischief Mark and Jerry got up to her with her! Wikipedia says Lisa Goddard, who played Clancy, was "the teenage daughter of a ranger stationed at another section of the park. When her father is transferred to a park in northern New South Wales, Matt invites Clancy to stay with the Hammond family so that her music studies are not disrupted by the move north."

Geez, there is some old farts on this page.

I am glad I am part of the youthful, vigorous set.
