Autopsy "I remember when"

[Pivo]

I'm waiting for someone to come in and post "I remember when this thread was about going to the footy".

Sometimes it's best to remember how truly awful somethings were, to see how far we've come - anyone remember watching The Black and White Minstrals Show on the ABC in the mid-70s? Vague memories it was part of Channel 2's Saturday 'variety' evening, and ran up against Channel 7's song and dance numbers from Ernie Sigley between the trots at Mooney Valley.

On the plus side, growing up we had weekly doses of The Two Ronnies, Dad's Army, Dr. Who, Kenny Everitt Video Show, To the Manor Born, Butterflies, Porridge, and on and on and on...

You either lived in the country (and had to choose between ABC and BTV6 ?) or your TV was stuck on ABC?

There isn't much happening in AFL, at least not to do with Geelong. We have to entertain ourselves somehow, and maintain "posting fitness"

Nah - Melb. metro, and watched 15 hours of TV a day for years, but the ABC had alot of great stuff. Ironically, I haven't watched any TV for the past 6 years.

 

[James1970]

not even sports?

Watch the Cats game on the internet - all others sports these days bore me shitless. Too many books to read, movies to watch, women to laugh with, concerts to attend and dogs to walk to bother with vastly overpaid, class-less boof-heads thinking they are god's gift cause they can chase a ball or run fast.

Hear hear! Cricket, tennis, motorsport... all about as brilliant as watching paint dry while someone is attempting to give you a vasectomy while blindfolded.

[Turbocat]

Allright Daz , I'll play - at the very obvious risk of showing my age

Dobie Gilles

Jetsons
Flintstones
Get Smart
Texas Rangers
Bonanza
Rifleman

Benny Hill Show
Steptoe and Son
Munsters
Hogans Heroes
F Troop

Two that I mentioned a few posts ago. Its about time , its about space........

and struth ... The Benny Hill Show. How non PC can you get. Always loved the sketch where the old boy at the retirement home starts playing cards with the hot looking nurse. Strip Poker. And after winning several hands seeing her remove her clothes , bit by bit , he gets the naughty nurse outfit off her and she's down to the B & N 's , he deals the cards again and deals himself 4 Aces , he smerks , he looks at her ....... and promptly dies of a heart attack.

I love Lucy, Ironside, Bonanza, Andy Griffith show, My three brothers .....

My Three Sons?

 

[Turbocat]

So who was the 'hottest' female character in 60's, 70's & 80's TV?

No99, Marcia Brady, Jeanie, Olive (from On the Buses), Abigail's character in 96, Penny in Lost in Space??

You are one sick little puppy.

 

[Turbocat]

The Man From UNCLE, and one of my all times favourites - alias Smith & Jones

Different category. One of the best themes. And a different category. Did they do an actor replacement in that show? Like a Darren in Bewitched

 

[winty]

Who recalls Grant Tanner? He was actually a Geelong Footballer- sorry to deviate the thread here - but he was named The Rifleman. Anyone recall that , and other westerns?

And perhaps one of the greatest movies of all time- SHANE.

Speaking of great nicknames, one of my all time favourite cats, Mark Bos, was MANDINGO

I remember reading somewhere that the pub brawl scene in Shane wasn't actually acting - they were hitting each other for real. Quite a few injuries came out of it as a result. Made for compulsive viewing though!

Anyone remember hurrying home from school and watching episodes of either Married...With Children or Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

No way known would they get away with half the stuff they did on Married...With Children nowadays!

 

[Turbocat]

Shane was a much better book than a film , just my opinion. Plenty of other Westerns Id put before it

 

[Hot Tin Roof]

Would have thought our resident Clint Eastwood fan would mention Rawhide.

....Rawhide - featuring a very , very young Clint Eastwood...

[Edit] Ahhh, F2G was too quick on the trigger

If we're not including marionettes (woohoo Lady Penelope), put me down for Jaclyn Smith from Charlie's Angels.

I can take it full circle.

"I remember when November was all about cricket and not talking shit in the 'off season' on a footy forum"

I love Lucy, Ironside, Bonanza, Andy Griffith show, My three brothers .....

Is that a show about Joel Selwood and his 3 brothers ?

Pretty sure you don't mean Penny from Lost in Space. Judy was the hot one. Penny was also in the Sound Of Music, Angela Cartwright. Speaking of hot, and this will test memories and even admissions of having watched the film , but the oldest girl, the one who was 16 going on 17- she was really special.
From that list, I can't go past Jeanie and 99 as a toss-up. Both Barbara's were highly appealing.

Well I have the emission of doing the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg. Part of which was watching the movie first! Although it was a fairly full bus load coming along with me.

I think VC might be onto something here.

This thread is likely to become an annual off-season event!

I share your sorrow. Happily though, no movie - just sing-along with Julie. Hit 7 of the monastery beer halls pretty hard following that day out

Can we extend into the 90s though?

Nothing good happened in the 90s nothing.
