I miss the repeats of the Wonder Years...haven't seen them for years now. I think everyone needs a bit of that wisdom in their lives :)

I also miss all the naff teenage shows, like 90210, Dawson Creek. Feel good shows that you dont have to think too hard about :)

Too much crime and reality tv these days...:thumbsdown:

Definatley all the old cartoons

The Smurfs
The Flintsones
Bugs Bunny & Friends

And, maybe i should post this anonymously but MASH - DF & I are buying all the box sets at the moment. I love it because my dad & I would always sit down and watch it together when I was little.
All theses are on Foxtel , the cartoons are on Boomerang , they even have the Jetsons , and Dastardly & Muttley Wacky Races , i love all those cartoons ,
and they have all the Classics , i'm so much into Dr .Quinn, Medicine Woman , i did not watch it when it was on real T.V now i have a chance to watch it and i dearly love the show , i would love to watch again The Hogan family (Valerie's family )
and also Perfect Strangers with Larry and Balki , i loved when Balki would say
"Don't be ridikalus" :laughing: i love the way he saids ridiculous that cracks me up :laughing: I would run home from school to watch both those shows.:D

God, what shows wouldn't I bring back? Anything from my childhood would be great!

Things like Danger Mouse, Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Count Duckula, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers... There are heaps, the list just goes on and on. Basically pretty much everything listed at http://www.80scartoons.net/

Then again, there are also more recent(ish) shows that should never have been cancelled. Things like Above the Law, Kindred the Embraced, American Gothic, That 70s Show... Most of the programs that they pull out during the "off-season" ratings period are real gems.

I also would like to see the show "Wings" and "Fact Of Life" brought back.

I would definitely love to bring back ALF i used to watch that show all the time. and cartoon connection with ann marie. i woke up early just so i could watch it before school. those were the days.

Tisme

13-03-2006, 21:35

Party of Five, My Two Dads, Who's the Boss, Bewitched, Northern Exposure.

And any cartoons that had MINDLESS impossible feats of killing, rather than the new ones which all either avoid the harmful stuff or portrays it in a way that children CAN and DO copy. Bring back the Gummi Bears .... hehehehehehe

Although having said that, since I was young when these were pulled off tv I find myself wondering .... Would they still have the entertainment value and appeal that they did in those "Younger years"??????

13-03-2006, 22:15

Michaels Mummy LOL :laughing: :laughing: I loved The Henderson Kids too! I loved the reply for Gummibears,Ducktales,etc...they were all on Saturday Disney, fantastic shows!

Another one i miss is Hey Hey Its Saturday and Fraggle Rock! Sounds like Foxtel is the way to go as you guys keep pointing out all these shows are available on Austar/Foxtel...the only reason i don't have paytv is because i'm scared i'll get too addicted to all the good stuff!! I saw the Smurfs on there at a friends place last year and the care bears, awesome day watching toons and eating ice cream :o

I love the show Now and Again
It was about a man who was 45 years old stumbles to his death on a subway platform in New York City or does he ? well he's brain was rescued from the accident scene by a secret branch of the united states goverment and put into the body of an artifically produced 26 year old man with the strength of superman , the speed of Michael Jordan , and the grace of Fred Astaire, the only catch .................... under penalty of death he can never let anyone from his past know he is still alive , and the problem for him is he is desperately in love with his wife , his daughter and his former life . i miss this show .
John goodman played *the 45 year old Michael Wiseman and then died
Eric Close played *the 26 year old Michael wiseman

I got this info from the T.V show web site

Ruby Slippers

23-03-2006, 22:08

I agree the now and again. That was a brilliant show and the fella was so hot.
I also loved always greener - pity about it ending I thought it was quite hilarious.
And there's one more. I know everyone may think its childish but I loved ALF when I was growing up! I wish that my son could experience the show too, cause I absolutely loved it!

They have ALF on Ebay ,

my girls love The Land Before Time Movies and we could not find the toys anywhere until we went onto Ebay the Toys were from 1988 from Pizza Hut originally ,we got six plastic toys for $60.00 and including postage and handling,and the look on the girls faces ,priceless.

And i would love for them to see The Muppet Babies i loved that show so i'm looking for the dvd's .
