Old TV programmes you liked but no one else remembers

I'll start with FurTV which aired on Comedy Central about 10 years ago. It started three puppets (Lapeno, Fat Ed and Mervin) as flatmates. I love the episode where they form a heavy metal band and then at the end of the episode, they are turned into a pop band and Fat Ed isn't happy about it. A lot of sh*t being flung around in that episode too :-)

This is from like '08, is that really considered retro these days?! :eek:

I'll throw my hat into the ring with another puppet related show that nobody seems to remember - Cousin Skeeter, from creators of Kenan and Kel, ran from '98 - '01 on Nickelodeon and was quality

That was good fun. I remember seeing it in the late 70s and I think it was repeated again around 1983 or so. Betsy and Lulu were nice

The Crowman

I liked Couched but almost noone seems to remember it.

I can't remember the name, think it was part of the Screen One series about two YTS trainees trying to make it with a first division club. Hazy memory of one of them getting injured, and one of them embracing born again christianity.

I'd completely forgotten that show had ever existed, but as soon as I saw your post I remembered the theme music. Forrest Tucker was in it, he also played the sergeant in F Troop, which was another Saturday morning staple.

Monkey was mad sh*t altogether. It was a Japanese show based on old Chinese legends iirc. It used to be on around 6pm during the week, I remember always watching it after I came home from swimming lessons.

Apple's Way.

Holmes and Yoyo.

Me and the chimp ( I always wanted a pet monkey after watching it.)
