in terms of shows I used to love watching with my Grandparents pretty hard to go past Star Trek, Dukes of Hazard, A Team and Knight Rider.
I'm not sure my granddad watched anything American. Was all British comedies. Absolutely loved Dad's Army.
Don't forget
It ain't half hot mum
Are you being served
Mind your language
Man about the House (the UK show 3's company was based on)IAHHM and mind your language would not make it on the telly now
Classics!
Been a while, but what was so "offensive" about Mind Your Language?
It just portrayed non Caucasian people using stereotypes that would trigger do gooders today. I thought it was hilarious

I know it's still going, but classic Kiwiana - Country Calender.
I can remember watching Country Calendar and The Dog Show as a family.
Jaysus 80s NZ was weird, imagine asking a kid to watch those shows today.
-
Anyone mentioned the Mad Dog Gang?

Brilliant weird though

Never heard of it, although a quick wiki suggests it came out when I was 3, although I may have caught a replay at some stage but drawing a blank.

Yep. An 80s childhood in NZ was cool - so different to now.
-
For some reason i was thinking about Country Calendar and A Dogs Show the other day. Can still remember the theme music to each

@mariner4life
Country Calendar still going strong - record it every week. Longest running show in NZ's history.Last week it was about a dairy farm in Nelson; been in the same family for 150 years. Few years ago Fonterra cancelled their contract. Now they milk their own A2 herd, bottle it and ship it all over NZ as well as make their own ice-cream. Fuck you Fonterra!

I got the book for some reason and then they were syndicating it on Aus TV when I was about 12. God knows why. It was pretty shit.
Another one was Terry and the Gun Runners. What pissed me off though was that the hero, ie Terry, kept getting captured.

Terry Teo had Billy T and Piggy Muldoon in it.

V and Buck Rogers
The old 'Sunday Horrors'
Barbara Eden was also in Harper Valley PTA

For all the old bastards here are shows (not already mentioned) that I remember being keen on during my childhood. The reality was though only one Channel until 1974 and two after that so you watched whatever was on or did other shit - sport, playing in the bush behind the neighbours, bulrush, endless battles until girls, booze and drugs took over.
Flintstones
Lost in Space
F Troop
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
Top Cat
High Chaparral (Monolito was a cool dude)
Monkees
Hawaii 5-0
Man From Uncle
Twilight Zone
Bonanza
Get Smart (99 was the first woman to stir my loins)
Invaders
Mission Impossible -

Mission ImpossibleI think all those were around/repeated during the 80s bar High Chaparral, F Troop, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Invaders.
I watched a lot of Bonanza with my Dad as a kid.
I think 99 was high on my stirring loins list too as a young fella.
-
@Nepia There was an episode where X Ray Vision was the centre of the plot. For some reason this rendered 99's outer clothes invisible but for some reason (DAMN) her bra and knickers were impervious to the X-Ray. Neverthless my loins decided immediately that semi naked women were a really, really good thing
-
@Nepia I just googled her, she was born in 1933!!
But yes, very hot in her day.
@dogmeat Twilight Zone, used to love them, some were scary AF, some just weird.
A couple that stood out: the gremlin on the wing of the plane (they made an episode of Simpsons with Bart seeing it on the school bus)
The shadow under your bed. -

Original Thunderbirds and Stingray were great, and up to now unmentioned was this classic POW!!

Have we done terrahawks? Or was it terror hawks? With the spaceships and noughts and crosses?
