Not every other TV show had the word "celebrity" in the title and "Friends" was on once a week, if you were lucky.

Re: Remembering the 80s and 90s
 

Bah, the 80's were completely different to the 90's. We should split this thread into 2.

The 80's... erm, Dukes of Hazard, Come On Eileen, Spangles, Sony Walkman, MTV (when it was cool), Max Headroom, Atari, Rubik's cube, Capri Sun and Tab and Dr Pepper (not together of course), and of course... Joey Deacon!

Blimey, I could go on all night. Better stop here.

Someone mentioned Grifters, but what about Choppers. Were they 80's or late-70's?

Re: Remembering the 80s and 90s
 

"Not the nine o'clock news" and skateboards (the first time round)

Re: Remembering the 80s and 90s
 

Choppers were early 70's:cool:

Re: Remembering the 80s and 90s
 

Coming home from the pub on Friday night and watching ITV's "Night Network", which was basically Mick Brown presenting various shows with episodes of Batman and various other 60s series, such as Time Tunnel spread liberally throughout (having said that, it was irritating to watch 5 minutes of a program only to have to wait an hour for the next 5 minutes).

Blakes 7.
Knight Rider (even though William Daniels actually has a camp voice,he still was cool as Kitt).
Dallas (well, the "Who shot JR" storyline).
The comedy "Soap" (which I have never seen repeated, and I think should be).

Spitting Image.
