To think we need more programmes like The Littlest Hobo

[Theteenandme]

Dont you think that bringing back The Littlest Hobo, Happy Days and The Wonder Years etc (but only in their original ways, no modern interpretations) would help heal the world? Just some wholesome, family escapism (even if you you cry a bit when the dog keeps moving on).

The Waltons for me.

The Red Hand Gang and Tales of the Gold Monkey for me.

The Tribe!

Yessss also Silas and then Huckleberry Finn. Oh how wonderfully wholesome!

I’d like something I can watch with my kids that none of us will squirm with awkwardness at. I don’t want to watch sex, nudity, long kisses, etc, when it does nothing to add to the plot. I’ll watch those things on my own happily. But with the kids? No.

Malcolm in the middle is fabulous. And I can’t wait for little house on the prairie!

Almost all of Dogtanian is on Youtube.

DH and I had some happy evenings rewatching it.

Little house on the prairie. Carefree sundays

Dr Quinn, medicine woman
Quantum leap

I drove past them filming it once. 5 identical dogs waiting in the back of a pickup truck while the set up the cameras.

What about The Storyteller? 😂

Hunter's Gold

Just not The singing, Ringing Tree …. Good grief, what were they on? Terrifying.

We used to watch it Sunday after mass 😆 🤣

I'm guessing you mean Storybook International?

Littlest Hobo was a shocker. God I’d forgotten about Gentle Ben, double shocking!!!

Happy Days was just shite.

If you want to be reminded of 70s and 80s summer holidays…. Why Don’t You?

Thanks a lot, mate. Got a bloody ear worm now 😁

I think what we really need is good quality title sequences and theme tunes. I could still sing the Littlest Hobo and the Dogtanian theme tunes. (Dogtanian and the muskehounds had the best theme tune ever). Only yesterday someone mentioned Dolphins and I was thinking about the Flipper theme tune. I heard recently there was a new Captain Planet remake and ive gotten the theme tune stuck in my head since. There is something about music in childhood that stays with you.

Anyone else record the MacGyver theme tune onto a tape and then use it as backing track to outdoor games? 😂Preferably with static and a whisper telling your sister to shut up at the start?

There was a TV show about a guy with a beard who lived with a bear in a cave or something? Any recollection?. Also a TV show with Michael Landon where he was an angel who looked human and it was Heaven or something about Heaven. Both late 80s

Highway to heaven was the michael landon thing , was the bearded man one grizzly Adams?

@Member984815 yes and yes! Thanks. I could have just googled the Michael Gandon one but had forgotten Grizzly Adams altogether. I loved Highway to Heaven, it was probably shit but I loved it, I remember the opening sequence with the sun shining above the clouds.

Sometimes I get so nostalgic that I almost ache with it.

I loved the theme tune to Champion the Wonder Horse!

And Follyfoot Farm, I think it was? The Lightning Tree.

Yes! What a tune!

Skippy the Bush Kangaroo and Lassie! Them were the days!
