What TV programmes do you miss?

[blondissimo]

I'll start off with:

The Office
I'm Alan Partridge
Only Fools and Horses
Dawson's Creek

I know you can watch repeats, but not the same as a new weekly episode !

30 something

echo beach

Noel's Christmas Presents - I love a good cry at Christmas - it's so stress relieving.

My Sis has Blakes 7 on video!

and what I really miss the most is a good dose of crazy kids Saturday morning tv.
Smtv Live/Get Fresh/Superstore/Tiswas

Juliet Bravo is being repeated on some cable channel. An ITV one, I think, bizarrely. I saw one of the early ones with Stephanie Turner the other week. One about a bloke who kidnapped his daughter and holed up in a farmhouse with her. It seemed terribly s-l-o-w.

Green Wing. One of the funniest, most satisfying series ever.

Gus Honeybuns Magical Birthdays

Dawntigga I love you for making me remember that

For anyone who didn't grow up in the wilds of Devon and Cornwall, Gus Honeybun was a (moth-eaten) puppet bunny rabbit, who announced all the kids birthdays in a 5 minute slot before the 6 o'clock news on ITV (Television South West). My gran sent in my birthday card every year . She also (mad woman that she was) knitted the puppet a jumper or a scarf every year, in a determined attempt to ensure my birthday card was read out. Oh nostalgia

ER - yes already!

Good lord, I'd forgotten about Gus Honeybun! I remember when we moved to Devon and I watched it and I was wondering what the hell was on the telly!

Bluebump - that's Devon for you

It was great. I used to be very proud when I went to school the day after my birthday as all the other kids would comment on it (everyone watched Gus Honeybun).

Dear me what a quaint childhood!

It took me months of watching it to realise that when he pressed the mushroom (was it a mushroom?) that sometimes the background picture changed!

Look he's on YouTube! I didn't manage to sit through the whole thing!

Bluebump - at mushroom thing. Don't you realise it was called the magic button.

Lol at the fact it is on youtube!

Hah, yes I realised that when I watched a different clip!

My So called Life with an extremely young Claire Danes and even more gorgeous than now Jared Leto, was really good, I used to video it every day when I was at work - I was in my twenties

Friends.

sunfleurs - it's on DVD now - just bought it for DW.

Oh thanks UnquietDad, thats brilliant! Just ordered if off Amazon .

Purple - I loved the adventure game and no one I met can ever remember it

Fawlty Towers
Morse
Bergerac
Men Behaving Badly
The Wonder Years
Butterflies

Everyone who remembers it seems to remember the later ones with the Rangdo and the Vortex and the Mole. There were a couple of series before that which were different.

Oh, and mentioning the Mole in The Adventure Game made me think -

The Mole!

Best game-show ever. WHY was it not shown on BBC1 at primetime??!

think I must only remember the later ones

Nobody ever used the Ham Sandwich for its correct purpose - testing the squares for the Vortex. Nobody, that is, except (I think) Matthew Kelly.

Mumbles grondo grondo and says Uncle likes green but not blue and yellow but not red

runs off using the ham sandwich for it's proper purpose
