Best 80s and 90s shows.

[LetThereBeRock]

I'm feeling nostalgic and trying to remember shows that I loved as a child/teen.

What were your favourite programmes? I'm not looking for children's programmes but soaps,comedies,dramas,gameshows etc.

Was at uni in 80s so Brookside was big -The Tube for bands -also something that used to be on Sun am with Magenta De Vine always watched with a hangover .Original ClothesShow

90s I was just married can't remember much TV

• Some good drama This Life Jakes Progress and Crow Road stand out

I was reminded of Blossom the other day- I read something about Joey Lawrence and I was like 'oh yeah! I forgot about him!'

I used to love stars in their eyes and the cosby show, ooh and the crystal maze

network 7 bebesequin?

i was also thinking brookside and maybe twin peaks

The Crystal Maze was great,although I hated it when Richard O'Brien played that bloody harmonica.

I loved The Krypton Factor too.

And yes to Stars In Their Eyes.

The Adventure Game
Blind Date, but only while getting ready to go out clubbing
Press Gang - I know it was a kids' show but it was bloody brilliant

Was thinking about Brookside last night actually and how groundbreaking it was to deal with marital rape. I think the way Sheila Grant's story was handled was amazing, compared to the cheap shocks for kicks that soaps trade in these days.

ooh Krypton factor! Loved it!

this life?

I remember watching brookie when I was younger and actually being terrified by the trevor jordache storyline- was gripping and again dealt with some serious issues

I used to love baywatch (?!), gladiators and bread as well

How could I forget Gladiators? Wolf was my favourite,and I had a crush on Trojan,at least I think it was Trojan.

My so called life - with Claire Danes and Jared Leto.
Was so brillaint at tapping into that achey, teenage self-obsession but in a really lovely way. So glad we had that rather than Skins or Hollyoaks

I was going to say My So Called Life!

Vic Reeves Big Night Out. Very silly comedy.

I loved:

Baywatch
Peak Practice
Londons Burning
Beverley Hills 90210 (when they showed it on ITV)
Noels House Party (Apart from Mr Blobby)
Brookside
The Chart Show

Oh the memories!

London's Burning was great. I'd love to get it on dvd.

Anyone for Buffy?

Cracker. I LOVED and wanted to be Panhandle. She was very cool.
Looking back it was pretty gritty though - the rapist who sat in a bath of bleach and panhandle being attacked - may have been part of the same storyline?

I liked Heartbeat early on before it went shit.
Remember crying buckets over the cow culling storyline - it was the music that did it, possibly Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harem.

Oh I loved My So Called Life and Party of Five. I actually watched most of the things listed here, what a telly addict!

The music for that scene was Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues.

I can't really remember any other storyline in Heartbeat,but for some reason that one is stuck firmly in my mind.

Oooh yes Cracker was amazing. LIVERP OOL Liverpool FC with a very scary Robert Carlysle.
Brookside had such an influence on me I went to Liverpool Uni.
The Chart Show, waiting to see if the Indie chart would come on.
Bliiiind Date.

I never missed The Chart Show.

I loved Soldier,Soldier,even if it did give us the musical 'delight' that was Robson and Jerome.

LTBR - you're right! I've always got those two songs mixed up, they were next to each other on a video of The Hits of 67 my mum used to subject us to

This Life
Brookside
GBH
The White Room
Grandstand

I loved Soldier, Soldier and Press Gang too.

Does anyone remember TV101? It had a very young Matt le Blanc and was like a US version of Press Gang - I loved it.

OOOh forgot This Life - it was fab!
