I always like when they play the old Countdown and Rock Arena episodes over Summer (I was born in 1988, so I never got to see them live), and it's nice that they're paying a tribute to Rowland S. Howard as well with the opening videos.

Also, it's somewhat belated, but the Richard Lowenstein-programmed episode on October 17 and the Mental As Anything-programmed/Australian '80s episode from November 14 were some of the best I've seen in a while too.
