What were your favourite afternoon TV shows

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

With the death of Bob Denver and Don Adams I started thinking about some of the old shows I used to watch when I got home from school. There were some great programs around during the 60's 70's and 80's for kids to watch in the afternoon/early evening.

What were your top 5 shows from those eras.

Mine were, in no particular order.
Gilligans Island
Get Smart
Dr Who
Lost in Space (Ice in Space - dodo dodo, dodo dodo, scary isn't it)
The Brady Bunch (I know, sick isn't it )

[iceman (Mike)]

What about Batman? Those were classics!

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

And Superman and Astroboy and Prince Planet and Marine Boy and Gigantor and the Beverly Hill Billies etc etc . I know its hard to pick just 5. Those members born after circa 1980 will be wondering what the hell we're talking about

Ditto to all those Paul,
Brady Bunch too, loved it.

I don't know if you could remember another called "It's about time".
About two Astronauts who crashland back in time into prehistoric times with cave people. Comedy v.similar to Gilligans Island.

Ah the good ol' days.



Oh how could I forget "Hogan's Heroes"

[iceman (Mike)]

ah Hogans Heroes, what a classic.

Loved that show.

[h0ughy (David)]

Hogans heros, MASH, batman, Get smart.

plus all the others you mentioned, including the Goodies, Dr Who etc

[xstream (John)]

The Twilight Zone and don't forget Happy Hammond and also the Gerry Gee Show.

Who's that a peeping round the corner,
Not just me but little Johnny Horner,
I'm the kid who's always got a grin,
Joffa boy Joffa boy please come in.



Memories eh!

Just seems like yesterday.

It's not an afternoon show, but I did enjoy "Thunderbirds". For xmas a couple of years ago I got the dvd box set of all the thunderbird episodes....

[h0ughy (David)]

Grizzly Adams..... plus most of the above too.....

I dream of jeanie and of course Monkey.


TV is such rubbish nowadays that the only things I really watch now is the AFL and The Simpsons.

[slice of heaven]

A lot of those shows above, as well as the Munsters, The Addams Family ,Aunty Jack.
The old shows were great entertainment.
What ever happened to Aussie comedies? They were tops. Kingswood Country, Paul Hogan , Mother and Son.

[xstream (John)]

Lets not forget F-Troop and Casey Jones.

I was starting to get a bit old for this one but The Magic Circle Club.

[cometcatcher (Kevin)]

I remember the days when the ABC used to run endless repeats of F troop, My Favourite Martian, and The Ghost and Mrs Muer.

I always looked forward to My Favourite Martian the most I think.

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Boy I'd fogotten many of those. How about the Monkeys, the Partridge Family, HR Puffinstuff
