I'm sure it's been mentioned but

The streets of San Francisco

With Michael (sex addict) Douglas

And Karl ( drunk/melty nose) Malden

I don't think they were credited that way.... but well worth a watch for all you young whipper snappers that can withstand watching standard definition and like a bit of classic Tv

Did RTE broadcast later episodes of The A Team with Robert Vaughan as boss?. Can't recall seeing them.

They did and as you can imagine they sucked

Does anyone remember "Soap"? I used to watch repeats of it in England around 89 or 90. It was a precursor to "Benson". It was ridiculously mad.

Yep. "Confused?, you will be." Didn't see that much of it but I remember it as pretty funny. Where Billy Crystal got his break.

Can vaguely remember this I think. Was comedian Billy Connolly in this? Or was that Wonder Years? There was a whole lot of similar type shows at the time and a few Degrassi variants IIRC.

That was Head of the Class.

Used to fancy the girl in Degrassi Jnr High rotten. Was Stephanie the characters name?

Tammy! · 13-08-2019 07:21PM

People would remember this but I use to love The Brady Bunch. Think it use to be on at around 3 every day when I was around 6 or 7.

He was Billy McGregor or something like that in it. There was a followup called Billy as well. What was Degrassi about then and Wonder Years? Know they were all about schools but don't remember them. Very much remember the Billy Connolly ones.

Pawwed Rig · 13-08-2019 07:26PM

Degrassi was a kids show about being a teenager and all the ups and downs in school.
Wonder Years was more about family life and had a narrator.

Leilak · 13-08-2019 07:32PM

Who remembers Punky Brewster ? Think it was out around the mid 80s also Are you afraid of the dark?

I used to watch that religiously when ITV showed it on the full network, it replaced The Saturday Show/Saturday Starship.

Ethel has been mostly playing a character called Sandi Toksvig since then,

Dawn makes films and won an Oscar

No doesn't ring a bell- what time of day was it on and what was it about?

13-08-2019 08:57PM

I might of posted this before, just can't remember now.

On the move- in this episode, with Bob Hoskins.

There was literally "nothing" on on TV worth watching on a Sunday morning in BBC/UTV/RTE land back in the late 70's

But this show was on every Sunday around lunchtime on BBC I think- I just loved the intro music

It was about teaching people to read - a great programme actually

Saturday superstore followed Swap Shop which of course was BBC, when it ended if memory serves- (trying not to look at google for a definitive here but feel free)- that red headed bloke with the red glasses headed it up- again, only from memory, which is what i like about this thread.

Mike Reid did Superstore. Noel Edmonds was Swap Shop. I have no recollection of a red headed bloke with glasses? Other than Andy Ruane on Scratch Saturday.

No recollection of Saturday Starship which is odd as I recall the first episode of number 73.
Love Sandy Toksig

Yeah Saturday Superstore was on BBC1 with Mike Read (or Mike Reid)

Heather Graham was Roller girl, Dawn was Andrea Arnold who won an Oscar for a short film she wrote and now directs things like Big Little Lies and other proper Hollywood stuff. She is still best known as Dawn from No 73 :pac:
