Mine is Alley McBeal and then Peisoner Cell Block H, I used to watch H In the early hours after a night shift.

I have This Life, the OC and One Tree Hill on DVD.

I’ve got Cadfael and Campion both on my Amazon wish list for when I fancy them.

I’d also love to watch Northern Exposure again. And I really, really want to show my kids the old school Flintstones I grew up watching as I loved those!

Sunset Beach.. 😬😬

Prospects
With the late great Gary Olsen.
It was on channel four in the 80s

American Gothic and Boomtown.
Boomtown was a police drama, the stories were told from different points of view during the episode. It was g6teat, I can't even remember what channel it was on, maybe Sky.

I loved "my so called life". Never seen it repeated but it was very much of its time

I watched it again recently. It’s still fucking brilliant. I don’t think it’s dated that badly- yes homosexuality is more accepted now but Ricky is so brilliantly portrayed and there are still parents that would do the same.

Kids from Fame Blush

Is anyone old enough to remember Rock Follies?

I loved it at the time and have tried on numerous occasions to find it again, but with no joy😑

Julie Covington, Rula Lenska and Charlotte Cornwall. I remember it as being kick ass women in charge for once.

Maybe best if I never have that memory disabused 🤣

SarfE4sticated · 07/05/2019 17:50

I would love to watch "ashes to ashes' and 'life on mars' again. I loved it SOOOOOO much.

Renatghost was amazing @Igotmylipstickon and the new show on Netflix Ghosts is quite reminiscent of it IMHO

Bookaholic73 · 07/05/2019 17:52

‘Bad Girls’ and “At Home with the Braithwaites’.

I always think that the great thing about programmes such as Bluebell, Tenko, Wish Me Luck, Upstairs Downstairs etc, is that because they were set at a time already in the last, rather than being contemporary, they tend to age better than a lot of other 'current' programmes.
@Inmyownlittlecorner I have Tenko on DVD, but it often gets a re-run on Yesterday.
I also love Dear John and have that on DVD as well. I find it amazing that Only Fools and Horses seems to be on a loop on GOLD, yet Dear John and Just Good Friends, imo John Sullivan's best programmes, are hardly ever shown.

Cardiac Arrest, gritty 90's medical show no-one else seems to remember.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 07/05/2019 18:03

I remember Rock Follies! Loved it, but I was a very unsophisticated teenager who would watch any old rubbish 😆

I think it would look pretty terrible now, so perhaps it's best left undiscovered.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 07/05/2019 18:05

Friday Night Lights. I watched it on either Now TV or Netflix, forget which, and thought it was superb. Then just as I recommended it to everyone it disappeared.

I watched it! It’s on youtube or something as I watched bits of it again recently.

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 07/05/2019 18:15

@bluebluezoo can I ask where you watched it? I'd love to re-watch it all I loved it. Jared Leto 💖💖

BelulahBlanca · 07/05/2019 18:20

My sister had My So-Called Life on DVD about ten years ago while we were at Uni. I remember thinking that made us the epitome of cool.

Ummm... Canada...Wink

Oliversmumsarmy · 07/05/2019 18:40

Married with Children

Can’t find it anywhere

thesurreyyouth · 07/05/2019 18:41

Mine are childhood memories that probably wouldn’t live up to the fondness I have for them.
The Sullivans, the cedar tree, Hart to Hart, flame tree of thika and tales of the unexpected (although it used to terrify me)

Muddlingalongalone · 07/05/2019 19:13

Came on to say midnight caller but beaten to it.
I have this life on DVD- tis awesome!

mashpotato10 · 07/05/2019 19:30

Sex and the city
This Life
Hotel Babylon

RedRiverShore · 07/05/2019 19:46

Alway worth looking on eBay for second hand DVDs, I got My So Called Life and Cardiac Arrest quite cheaply

Binglebong · 07/05/2019 20:24

My mum got Rock Follies and I tried to watch it with her. Both of us agreed it was BAD.

Hotel Babylon was rerun recently and it hasn't aged well either.Sad

FabulouslyFab · 07/05/2019 20:28

Oh yes, The Sullivans !
A Country Practice.
