Ah there have been so many good ones down through the years but they had to end now all that remains are the beloved re runs...
Quote some catch Fraze's or even theme music...

My most memorable tv programmes were:

Different Strokes "Now the world done move to the beat of just one drum, what might be right for you may not be right for some"......

"who'd joo talkin bout Willis"

Fraggle Rock " Dance your cares away worries for another day, let the music play, down in Fraggle Rock"

Ahhh yes..
 
Anything on either of these two sites:

For those of use who used to inhabit "one channel land" ....Lolack and Bolack. (Polish Cartoons were all the rage back then).

Some other memorable programmes included

Garda Patrol (any one remember the theme "tune" - clue think dustbin lids)
Cross Country Quiz
Quicksilver
Tolka Row
The Riordans
The Nuacht (8:00 pm version)
The Late Late Show (Saturday night version)
Billy Smarts Circus - Featuring "plate twirling" on Christmas day.
Telefis Scoile (the reason you went back to school the next day after feining illness)
Amuigh faoin Speir
Rugby Internationals on Saturday Afternoons
Gaelic Games Championship Matches on Sunday Afternoons
Buntus Cainte

The Irish Permanent ad for 4 1/2% tax free which went on for about 10 years (we all learned how to make fours from that ad)

.. I could keep going. It should be obvious that the "one channel land" experince has left me permanently scarred.

Yeah

The Persuaders was one of my favourites Roger Moore and Tony Curtis....made me feel like a playboy millionaire after watching only to fiind out that i was not.

I love 70,s TV like Kojak, Starsky and loved Minder.
 
Re: Yeah

Twin Peaks - damn fine series (at least the first one)
 
Re: Yeah

3's Company, the one where there was some sort of a mis-understanding........
 
ol' favourites

Wanderly wagon - o'brien, judge and the gang

Forty coats (with his fifty pockets - never understood that...)
 
Robert Vaughan.

I was an agent for The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I even wore a black poloneck like Ilya Kuriakin. I wonder where my membership card is.....
 
tele

Re: tele

"The Prisoner" is my most memorable. They re-ran the series late at night when I was about 13 and it was my first introduction to Orwellian-style ideas on dystopias and totalitarianism. Fantastically imaginative if a little surreal at times (the cast and crew had to be on an acid trip doing the last episode) and really well filmed and a great location (that I will definitely get around to visiting one day). And give me Patrick McGoohan as a proper leading man any day, yummy! They really don't make programmes like that anymore.

I really liked the late night "show" that Sean Moncrief ran on Fridays or Saturdays about 10 years ago on Net 2. He had re-runs of Fawlty Towers but it was his links that made the whole thing.

What was the kids programme with the young guy that played Arftul Dodger in Oliver? There were furry animals of the Mr. Snuffelupigus (sp?) type in it.

I had a soft spot for Falcon Crest and Knots Landing too. Not to mention Demspey and Makepiece, Cagney and Lacey (on re-runs now, woohoo!), Matlock (!!), Tales of the Unexpected, V, Tomorrow's World, Doctor Who, Jackanory ......

And what about radio - I still miss Aunty Poppy's storytime on Sunday mornings! haha

I heard him on the wireless a few months ago promoting an album of kids' songs that he had recorded in a sort of heavy metal/punk rock style. :eek He also produced and directed the profile of Dermot Morgan a few months ago. He hasn't gone away you know. :)

The Prisoner

Loved this pro gramme but my god did'nt it annoy you , who is number 2 , the worst had to be the episode when he escapes , the goes back on a jet plane only to be jettisoned out above the island and back into prison.

But i loved every minute , the last show with Rumpole of the Bailey was excellent.

But where the fu*k was the island.
