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.

Cracker was indeed amazing but come on, Panhandle was fairly pathetic. The rapist episode was total grimlocks though - FallingWithStyle, twas indeed the same one.

LTBR, don't get me started on Buffy! I still love it now, in fact I whiled away a shower yesterday by trying to remember word-for-word the scene in series 6 where she tells Spike where she's really been (:().

Oh Press Gang. Utterly amazing.

Bizarrely, I saw an ep of that when I was in Australia a few months ago, it is still fantastic. Just shows how good writing will never date.

Same episode of Cracker I mean, not same rapist.

Vic Reeves Big Night Out was one of my absolute favourites!

This Life
Undercover Heart
Saturday Night Live (Ben Elton hosting)
Who's Line Is It Anyway
Spitting Imigaes
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Cheers
Moonlighting

I used to love watching repeats of The Flying Doctors.

Yes to Spitting Image. That was genius.

I forgot 999. I watched that every week. I couldn't wait for the next episode.

It had one of the scariest themes ever.

The Word
Don't Forget Your Toothbrush
TFI Friday
Dawsons Creek
2.4 Children
Ab Fab
Beverley Hills 90210

Anyone remember 'The Cook report'? we used to love watching that.

Loved 999 and Cracker (shame Christopher Ecclestone was killed off in the 1st series)

Loved 'Our friends in the North' as well (Poshpaws senses a theme, here...)

Am I the only person who loved Quantum Leap? I've never met anyone else who has ever watched it.

I loved The Cook Report. I watched it every week with my parents,perhaps not the most suitable viewing for me,but I loved it.

I watched Quantum Leap too. Did he ever make it back?

Blossom
The Crosby Show
Moonlighting
Soldier Soldier
Londons Burning
Cagney and Lacey
Kate and Allie
The Tube

Robin of Sherwood - music from Clannad and Michael Praed - unlikely winning combination, but it was great.

How could I forget Father Ted? It was genius.

My so called life with Clare Danes and Jared Leto (). God, I loved that show and my entire teenaged years were obsessd with it! I think I dyed my hair red because of that show, now that I think about it! Also wore alot of over-sized mud coloured jumpers and DM boots...

I'll have to admit to enjoying Challenge Anneka,if anyone remembers that. Though in my defence I was a young child at the time.

Londons Burning (at least is available on DVD. Try Amazon!

I loved Quantum leap, I'm sure it was on the same night as early Friends and Frasier.

What about The Generation Game, Big Break, Clarissa Explains It All, London's Burning.

does anyone remember The Kids of Degrassi Street, and Degrassi Junior High? I loved those, although I do remember our school trying to stop up from watching it (along with Grange Hill) - saying it was a bad influence

I remember the kids of degrassi street, loved that

Our family favourites were Metal Mickey, Super Gran, Dick Turpin, and The Cosby Show

Now going to read the thread and reminisce

Yeah, yeah this is a zombie thread...sorrreeee! (The best kind though as old programme reminiscing is ALWAYS relevant!
I just had to answer this (albeit a few years late, so hope you're still kicking about here!)
I watched Quantum Leap too. Did he ever make it back?

No. He didn't. In the last episode he could have gone back, but he decided to stay and put right a wrong for Al instead, and thus doing so made sure he could never get back.
