FF:WA TV Shows

Since in the thread 'A real Star Wars universe????? Possible???', we got talking about Beyond 2000 and Perfect Match and a couple of weeks ago we were talking about He-Man, I decided to start a thread so we can talk about the old TV Shows we love and new TV Shows that we are looking forward to.

Does anyone remember a 80's TV show called 'It's a Knock Out'?

 

Yes I remember that, fantasic show! Anyone remember Gladitor, man did that die quick!

There was also Captain Planet also, that was second to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

 

I was quite a big fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I used to have the curtains, bed spread, pillows and the action figures and my favourite turtle was Raphael.

 

I know Ive got those coins somewhere, the ones from the West Australia. They maybe a little rusted but I did'nt use them as 20c pieces as some people did.

 

Yes I have all those coins as well in that cardboard frame thing. You had to collect tokens out of the newspaper and get the coin every week. Mine are framed in my room at the moment.

This Gladitor you spoke about, How old is the show?

 

3 or 4 years atleast! I remember ther was a aussie version, UK and American version. They all had names like, Snake, Panther, Rhino and Storm(she was fine, very fine). You had to run course like the Gaultlet (spellin), climb the wall. etc.

They were all way to big in the muscle department!

 

Oh ok. I just don't remember it. I think my favourite show on TV right now is Robot Wars EXTREME which started on Foxtel last week. It's so much better and then there is Stargate SG-1 which is also very good (Premieres on FOXTEL on TV1 this Thursday if anyone here has Foxtel).

I heard that one of my favourite new shows, Dark Angel has been axed as well which isn't good

 

Buffy & Angel are my current favorites! However the new Stargate SG1 series, its catching closely behind.

 

I was a fan of the ninja turtles before it bacame a cartoon. Whe it was a comic and then a roleplaying game (I had a kick butt wolverine).
Gladiators! You youngsters!
I remember our cub group appearing on Fatcat's Funtime Show one Saturday morning.

 

I remember watching the show, Fraggle Rock. I have a few episodes on tape as well which is cool to see again.

 

And then there was the Goonies! Whoa! Slow down

 

The Goonies??? I remember the Goodies.

 

I also used to watch Gumby. That was a pretty cool program for it's time. The Dinosaur, Prickle was my favourite.

 

Goodie.. goodie-goodie yum-yummmmmm..

lol. Loved that program, I grew up watching that and bananna man (also done by those 3 -Tim Brook Taylor, Bill oddie and that bloke i can never remember his name.. played Graeme in goodies)

He-man, Our Star Blazers, Ge-force (one of my fav's), Transformers.. the list goes on..

Wow.. u stirred up some good old memories with this topic.. Oh, wait.. nope, they're gone again.

 

Here's a ABC one, Astro Boy! It was just before Banana Man I think.

Ther's The Smurfs, Gummie Bears (loved that show) and Care Bears. Ah, man, those were my couch, bed ridden, late for school days. Ah the times were so good back then.

 

ASTRO BOY!!! I LOVED THAT SHOW. I also used to watch Thomas the Tank Engine (Was a Huge Fan of that), Puddle Lane, Tail Spin and does anyone remember a show on the ABC in the early-late 80's called Hunter?

 

There's no way on earth you can ever beat The Banana Splits!!!

 

Anyone remember Magic Roundabout, Captain Scarlett, Stingray, Fireball XL-5 or U.F.O.?

 

Greatest show of all time: Seinfeld

Currently running shows that I must war=tch each week: Malcolm in the Middle, The Panel, The Footy Show

Fav Cartoons now/as a kid: Transformers (transfan more than anything else...only figures i collect....just a very casual star wars fan, just like the movies and thats about as far as it goes) G.I. Joes, Dino Riders

 

I also love Seinfeld. Kramer is the funniest guy of all time.

 

Then ther's also Knightrider, Viper, Sliders and of course Quantum Leap.

 

Quantum leap was cool..

 

Thunderbirds is CLASSIC. Does anyone remember a program called Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids?

 

Hey hey hey!
There used to be a guy at our school who walked exactly like Wierd Harold.

 

I watch Fat Albert on Saturdays. It's hilarious.
