Classic T.V. Shows

[AnMDBCartoon]

Not forgetting:

All these blokes had (and still *have*....once *we* get to see 'em screened again) the BEST ROFL programmes on air* second to NONE!




(* - N.B. : In the U.K., sure....but "Dave Allen At Large" was screened on WGN TV-9 Chicago Back In The Day; And "Benny Hill" was aired on WFLD TV-32 back home, as well; And as for "Monty Python", whilst they *did* get their start on PBS, they can now be seen Stateside on the IFC Network...with NO commercial interruptions. Coo-Ell!)

i submit for the approval of the midnight council

Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Great show when I was kid.
Can't forget about Xena. I fricking loved her.

My goodness the Brit show you mentioned brings a lot of memories:Benny Hill,Monty Python,and Dave Allen At Large. I saw them mostly on Public TV and they were hilarious. Dave Allen was way ahead of Bill Maher since he was a atheist and picked on religion with a passion. I remember a skit where Benny Hill parodied Allen. I hope to get Dave Allen on DVD soon.

There are so many tv shows I don't know how to list them but here they are:
Hogan's Heroes
The Carol Burnett Show
All in the Family
Sanford and Son
SWAT
Good Times
I Spy
Law and Order

Now that Dave has passed on (As well as Benny, and 1/6 of the Python gang..namely Graham Chapman), there's talk of his estate bringing out his classic BBC programmes & such on DVD.


Stay 'tooned, eh?

You the shit for both of those. Are You Afraid of the Dark was my shit. I don't know how they made that show so scary. I swear, the 90s was the golden age for kids TV. Nickelodeon is ass, and Cartoon network, not including Adult Swim, is fucking lame as well.

Dude I feel the same exact way. I feel like an old person saying this but I really feel like we were the last generation of great childhoods. There's way too much shitty media out now.

i could take or leave benny hill, saying that, i always loved the ending of the show...a rub of a bald head and being chased by beautiful skantily clad women. i lived and breathed dave allen, my mum had a huge crush on him & my dad being english had to watch anything from over that side of the world. i still remember him in his chair with his "strong drink" and fags.

My appreciation to you doesn't change the fact that you're still an old geezer. I hope you know I'm kidding. You're not old, you're just spunky. Whatever that means, just know that I mean it in a good way. I'm guessing it means beautiful in Aussie. At least I hope so.

lol...well alright, if you can close your eyes and pretend...i can shave my chin and put my teeth in for the occasion...!!! oh, i wont put them in if you want me gummy...if you know what i mean...nudge, nudge, wink, wink...say no more...!!!

Spunk : a good looking person (of either sex)
