This is of course absolutely true.

My favourite :

I can't believe I forgot this one:

Now for the life of me, i never did find that series even remotely funny.

Proper telly this was. Old people with names like Pat and Frank, all sitting together talking about Princess Diana for three quartes of an hour.

(dr6666, about "DTDD")^^^Oh no, we'll have to ger divorced now! (Can I keep the back issues of "Sight And Sound"? Please?)

So long as I get to keep the back issues of Look In.

AGREED!

Wake up it's Saturday Morning, it's Live & Kicking!

demonrail^^^ Of course - I have all the Showaddywaddy specials of Look In.

I was browsing through a compilation of "Jackie" mags in Borders a while ago (laugh if you will, but, oh never mind), and there was a "lurve" article about yer Cassidys, Osmonds etc, and it said of Gary Glitter that he had "cold" eyes, and a "practical" attitude to the girlies - and all this in 1974! I'll say!

And as a reminder about the fat, sweaty molester supreme, here's him doing his magnum opus:

and lets not forget:

Here's a big shout out to "Brass Eye":

You should read Mark E. Smith's autobiography, where he absolutely raves about Glitter. Absolute brilliance.

I always think of Jerry Sadowitz's on stage defence of Glitter: "It's a sorry state of affairs when the greatest musician this country has ever produced can't shag who he wants, where he wants."

I have, and it's hilarious! "I'm not defending him, like, but (goes on to defend him anyway)". What a genuine hero.

Kabadi on Channel 4 on saturday mornings. A sport from India which not even the players really understood.

the word on channel 4, i remember getting home on friday night after drinking and smoking with friends and watching this every week, some of the things on here were pretty sick but they also had good bands playing like Dinosaur Jr, Nirvana L7, Huggy Bear etc...

^^^"The Word" - my god! I remember the episode where Shabba Ranks was going on about how evil homosexuality was, and Mark Lamarr said (or actually yelled), "That's crap, and you know it!" Needless to say, ol' Shabby had nowt to say to that. I also remember the L7 live bit, where Donita Sparks whipped out her minge for live TV. Ah yeah!

Is that any good? I have a voucher but im still not sure whether to buy it

Yeah I used to LOVE Xfiles when I was younger, watched it everyweek with my family but got bored near the end of it. I was more of a fan of werewolves and vampires in small towns, in the early days,rather then the whole 'smoking man dies and comes back 4 times and is mulders father/mother and kidnapped his sister who was really an alien and etc ridiculous that came after.'

haha.

X-Files is brilliant.

Probably the best show in the history of television besides Twin Peaks.

I forgot to add "tales from the crypt" to my list.

THE WORD!
they had a bunch of good people on there. well those from that era who were good, not my favourites EVER but yeah dinosaur and L7 and hole and shit like that

oooo tales from the crypt! I remember staying up and sneaking around to watch that show on saturday nights when i was a kid.

heres another one from the word

lol i love the tacky green screens


the L7 one is great too
jennifer banging her head and donita just being nuts and pulling her pants down

oh fucking a, X-files and twin peaks were awesome too

though i have to say twin peaks season 2 was greatly inferior to 1-- greatly inferior.

MY GOD! Those were the days. I remember him sitting on people in the audience and telling people to shut up a lot. It totaly beat The Time The Place.

Evil-fighting sharks that can "swim" under pavement and concrete, rollerskate to their enemies while the others ride enormous motorcycles? Yes. STREET SHARKS.

Awesome. My dad has these on DVD, he's obsessed w/ that show.
When I was young I liked Roseanne and Cheers. Also the first series of Dawson's Creek.

hilarious

i agree with this list, only you have forgot to add the greatest show of all time. STRANGERS WITH CANDY. i dont THINK anyones mentioned it yet.

i thought that was a XXI century thing

after checking it turns out it started in 1999

if that's the case then i'd like to submit the west wing-- that was an AWESOME show of fucking superior quality-- smart & well done & never watered down. brilliant shit, at least for the first 4 seasons, until its crackhead writer had to quit & go to rehab.

holy fuck how could i forget



late 90s/early 2000s also-- pure awesomeness & a sad loss for teevee.

The Day Today

Another fan of the Chris Morris/ Steve Coogan/ Armando Ianucci combo- excellent

Yeah, me too, I really enjoyed it when I was a teenager, and I stopped watching it at the end of the season 7, when Mulder left the serie.
I saw the 2 last seasons many years after and found them really boring. the final episode is really disappointing, it seems they didn't know how to end up the show.

and I found Scully so HOT when I was 14-15 !!!!!
