    I'm certain Twin Peaks was on RTE 1 after the Nine O'Clock News...think it was a Thursday night though (season 2 episodes in 1990/1991).

    You may be right about the original screen of the series... but I agree with the previous poster that Twin Peaks was on v Late night (after that show with Sean Moncrieff) on either Friday or Saturday nights. I used to try to stay up to watch it 'cos I was 16 or so at the time and thought it was 'cool' to stay up as late as possible - but by the time Twin Peaks came on I was usually dozing on the couch, only to wake up again when the ending credits were rolling and the music playing. To this day if I ever hear the theme music I start to get a bit snoooooooozy

    Meant to say - I think the Fri/Sat night showing was a re-run

    Twin Peak may have been on The End but generally it was just comedy series on The End. It was repeated late night in the 1990s alright.

    What about Pajo's Junkbox of a Saturday morning?! The one day of the week when it was a good thing to get out of bed early. Can find no clips of it on YouTube however, I actually have forgotten what Pajo's voice sounded like..


    pajo if memory serves correctley sounded a lot like dustin the turkey and he was similar in charechter too , ive enjoyed this thread , im a sucker for nostalgia myself

    Who remembers Twin peaks? Was late night, might have been a Sunday night.
    I thought that was Monday nights?
    I think 2 other mid-week series were 'moonlighting' and 'cagney and Lacey'. I also remember 'Dynasty', maybe thats the one they showed Sunday night?
    I think Cagney and Lacey was on before Twin Peaks on RTE1.



    Anyone else remember Midnight Caller? It was on Saturday's after the Kenny Live show iirc :)

    AW MAN, Pajo's junkbox!!!

    Starring Gary 'Vice President Bob Russell' Cole! Considering I'd say I saw 1 maybe 2 episodes, this show has lodged itself in my mind for some reason.

    MT USA on a sunday afternoon on RTE2 with Vincent Hanley. I think it started off rte 2 transmissions for the day. Saturday after mail bag was Family Ties and subsequently Teddy Z if I remember correctly. He-man was on about 5.30 on Saturday?

    Was the 'The Live Mike' the show on a Friday night with Mike Murphy.
    There was also another show which was either a Saturday or Friday night which had a guest presenter each week. I remember Rhonda Paisley presented that show one night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 Duffy7


    Re the schedule, many moons ago there was some poor man murdered near where I lived. The Gardai called a few weeks later asking did I see anything.

    I couldn't remember if I was in or out. Then the Gard told me it was a Sunday evening. To my shame I knew then I wasn't at home because I always went home from my Mothers after Glenroe and the news.
    It was the TV schedule that allowed me track my movements!

    I don't know if this is a reasonable alibi, what happen in Glenroe that night?*

    Yeah, you're right enough. I can remember The Sullivans being on at 5.30, used to be the first programme on. Think it was the old RTE 2, pre Den days, though could have been RTE 1. Jaysus, RTE had some terrible stuff.

    Remington Steele with a young Pearse Brosnan and Scarecrow and Mrs. King stick out for me too.East of Eden I think, was a Aussie drama, kind of an Aussie Dynasty. They showed Falcon Crest too and that Knots landing during the day.

    The best was Leave it to Mrs. O'Brien though! :eek:

    They still showed Happy Days in 1996!

    Scarecrow and Mrs. King was originally 7 or 8 O'Clock but like a lot of them programmes, they showed them during the day, years later.

    Baywatch. A special time of the week for me!!!!

    It's called a repeat. It was one of those filler shows.

    I remember this used to be on Monday nights on RTE 1 after the 9 o' clock news:





    Be the jaysus, Dana Delany has aged well, hasn't she? ;) She's one of those women who's like a wine and seems to be getting finer with age! Total MILF material!:D

    And I'd forgotten that the 'Emergency Medical Hologram' (albeit with a bit of hair left! :D) from Star Trek: Voyager was in it until I saw that intro.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭x in the city


    Not really old enough to remember too much now, but I do have vague recollections of a Sunday night routine of watching Theresa Lowe on Where in the World, followed by Glenroe. That was the 90's I think. Also Italian Serie A football on a Monday night always impressed the young Reg, mainly cos Maradona was playing.. Talkabout with Alan Hughes on a Saturday evening around tea-time. Mailbag with Arthur Murphy was on earlier in the day of a Saturday. Should be enough there to get us started!!


    That calcio Italia back in the 90s was legendary stuff, zico, careca, maradona....!

    none of that prancy celebrity crap we have now

    Aidan you are a LEGEND for posting that, had completely forgotten and it was one of the family favourites at the time!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,299 ✭✭✭PixelTrawler


    Please tell me someone has the intro to Garda Patrol

    Been trying to find it for ages... got a major ear worm for the intro music and it'll only go away when I finally find it:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,936 ✭✭✭ballsymchugh


    vincent hanley from MTUSA was one of the first notable irish people to die from AIDS as far as i can remember too.
    i remember listening to the radio at work last year and the dj had just played a song by sons and daughters, and when he gave the name, he sang it like the intro to that shyte show. it was funny, but when a woman in the room started to sing along with him and kept singing the tune i couldn't stop laughing.
    twin peaks was repeated on the end on friday nights with barry murphy.

    now here's my contribution!!

    It's easy, all you need is an upturned biscuit tin and two spoons... :)

    I remember Saturday mornings particularly, Anything Goes with Aengus McNally, Mary Fitzgerald and Ultan Guilfoyle, The Little Rascals, Mr. Ed, followed later on by Daktari (Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion). Then Saturday Grandstand, and I abandoned the tv at that point...

    I was about 12 then, but going back further, I remember Land of the Giants, and Space 1999, two programs which scared me a little at the age of 5 or 6.

    The very first program I ever remember watching, at the age of 3 or 4, was The Odd Couple, with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman. I was too young to understand what was going on, but that wonderful theme tune brings me right back every time, the first theme tune I ever remember!
