Any good 80s shows?

[concernedchild123]

I'm a teenager (15) who's completely in love with the 1980s and the culture, music etc. So I've come to the people who grew up in that era to ask if you know any good nostalgic programs you used to watch as a teenager? Kids programs are just as appreciated as are 70s and 90s programs, even American stuff :) I'm not particularly fussy. Thanks.

Superted
Supergran
The family ness

Phew! Chub,I suddenly thought I was possibly being a lot more liberal than I had realised!!! I know I used to watch that sort of thing as a young teen,but I was also weaned on horrors so my judgement is possibly a little off....

I never saw that. It was a bit like tales of the unexpected wasn't it? Which was also ace but now very dated.

Fraggle Rock

FRAGGLE ROCK

Farrow wins the thread

I have the theme tune stuck in my head now.

I miss Roseanne. There's so many. I think I need to start looking out for them on DVD now. There's too many that shouldn't be forgotten about.

I am going to sit my children down on Sunday and give them a history of popular culture lesson, starting with fraggle rock. I always felt so sorry for the dozers.

Yes Chub it was.Would anyone find it scary now? (I know I used to....).

I second Bearandcub 's suggestion of Blake's 7. It was SO cutting edge.I thought the cool people watched that,and the rest watched Star Trek.

Three more...

BATFINK
Hong Kong Fooey and last but by no means least...

DANGERMOUSE.

Mosschops

The Water margin
Triangle

Moonlighting!

Everything contraversial I ever needed to learn about as a child/teen I learned from TV

I found out what a prostitute was from EastEnders, and rape. And homosexuality. And divorce. And lots of things actually.

And loads of stuff from Roseanne - teenage pregnancy, debt, marriage problems ....

Highly educational.

loving music, i watched every music programme going even though apart from TOTP they were all rubbish!

the tube- pretentious patronising ''were so studenty cool'. although i love Jools Holland.

that awful terry christian one where a girl band showed her fanjo and another one where iggy pop had his flies open with nothing on umderneath just cos they thought they were 'cool' doing that.

old grey whistle test was still on i think in the 80s with hairy hoary old beardy zztop looking creaky progrock bands.

how did i ever get through that decade?????!!!!

and the sat morning ones. saturday superstore, the staurday banana (was that what it was called?) the one presented by Gaz Topps, and the like.

Seeing as the OP is only 15, try looking up SMTV.

I know it's 90 but that's the best Saturday Morning show ever. Such a shame it's finished.

Oh, love this thread! Yes, I'm aware it's a zombie one but it's one that's relevant whenever it's posted - there's always someone, somewhere wanting to relive 80's and 90's telly and hear advice from those who lived it what was good and what was pap!
