I've watched many of those same shows but left GBBO when Mary Berry, Sue, and Mel left as I couldn't abide their replacements. They - and the challenges - were unacceptable IMHO.
ReplyDeleteSweet dreams!
Hugs :)
Where's Dallas?
ReplyDeleteIn America.
DeleteI hated Dallas
DeleteSo did JFK
DeleteBa-dum-tsss!
DeleteI found out who shot J.R. a week before the U.K., in Germany and in German. I know the man who killed Dirty Den. He is now an out of work actor who you may have heard on your recent airline trip.
DeleteI don't really want to stop the show,
ReplyDeleteBut I thought you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song
And he wants you all to sing along,
So let me introduce to you
The one and only John Gray
The only ones I watched were Farmhouse Kitchen and Sex and the City. I don't recall ever seeing the Victoria Wood series even though I love her brand of humour and I come from the same town as she did.
ReplyDeleteLost in Space? Planet of the Apes? I loved those programmes.
ReplyDeleteLost in space was shite x
DeleteI loved the robot.
DeleteNot many overlaps with me - more from the 60s and 70s as there were less local shows here and we got nearly everything screened in Britain. 80s-90s fare? Just Hill Street Blues, which I'd completely forgotten about. Miranda is my only 21st Century overlap. She just has to stand there and I start quaking with laughter!
ReplyDeleteI loved Hill Street. MASH was one of my all-time faves. Was that broadcast in your neck of the woods as well?
DeleteI would love to watch "The Golden Girls" with my mum again x
ReplyDeleteLand of the Giants and Charlie’s Angels I’ve watched in reruns.
ReplyDeleteSex and the City and Tales of the Cory! Yes! Catching up with he new version on Netflix.
The walking dead, I followed three seasons and then I got tired. Watched a season of Fear the Walking Dead. Love the idea of zombies and post apocalyptic worlds but I got tired. Maybe I should Tantra watching again?
XoXo
I loved Ally McBeal. My dream is to find the complete series at a garage sale. It might happen. And I never missed ER until I ended up in the ER myself unable to breathe. I'm barely alive and I'm telling my husband not to forget to tape it. I did not see the itony in thst. Long story short, I never watched it again and I quit smoking cold turkey. It will be 22 years this coming March. Best thing I ever did. Hugs, Elaine
ReplyDeleteBetween 1985 and 2013 I was addicted to EastEnders but I managed to give it up. Just went cold turkey one evening and I haven't seen a single episode since.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was just a little boy I asked my mother what can I see... anyway you brought back memories. As a kid I absolutely loved The Tomorrow People and Space 1999. I didn't get Thunderbirds but I watched the other one, I think it was call Joe90 or something like that. I actually listen to the music from Space 1999.
ReplyDeleteAh The Tomorrow People; I used to rush home from school (same age as you John) to watch that. I so wanted to be a Tomorrow person. Banana Splits - 'uh oh Chongo!'
ReplyDeleteThunderbirds!!! At school we had an exercise book for jotting down notes. They were always known as rough books. We were allowed to personalise the covers unlike our subject exercise books.
ReplyDeleteMost people emblazoned them with declarations of love. I love Ringo,I love Paul, I love Elvis etc.
I was something of a late developer and didn't really understand it but scrawled all over mine my passion for Virgil,Scott and the other Tracy brothers.
Oh My Goodness Space 1999 !
ReplyDeleteparsnip
Prime Suspect I think is my favorite of them all.Any of the PBS series on Sunday nights.
ReplyDeleteMy husband hated the series like Ally McBeal but I forced him to watch it with me.
He ended up liking it...hee hee.
I too followed many of those.
ReplyDeleteI occasionally watch a bit of Bake Off, but the rest; never.
ReplyDeleteLove the Hinterland. I wish there were more episodes.
ReplyDeleteWe have gotten addicted to Bake Off; now we will have to wait until the new season gets going.
You listed many we have watched regularly over the years. We watched MASH without fail.
Stop by my blog sometime?
Thunderbirds? I loved them when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteI just watched a Thunderbirfs marathon last weekend. As Lady Penelope would say. "That doesn't look good Parker."
ReplyDeleteAnd adored Miranda.
I don't know most of these programmes.
ReplyDeleteApart from following 'Corrie' for about one year after it began in late 1960 (when all episodes were broadcast live) the sole other one on your lists which I kept up with was 'Tales of the City'. Maybe I should have stayed in more.
ReplyDeletePaint along with Nancy was the best. X
ReplyDeleteSome great ones there John. How about Star Treck, The Waltons, Alias Smith and Jones, The Professionals, The New Avengers ?
ReplyDeleteIn the 60s/70s bracket, I watched, and enjoyed most of them, but I don't remember Farmhouse Kitchen and we didn't watch Peyton Place. What I did have to endure was Crossroads! In the 80s, Moonlighting was a favourite.
ReplyDeleteQuite a few of these passed me by as we were not really allowed to watch ITV when we were growing up. I remember in the late 1970s when Who Killed JR? was in the mainstream news and I had no idea what was being referred to. One of my strongest childhood TV memories is Tales from Europe, made in Czechoslovakia but with an English narration added. The Sining Ringing Tree was one of the tales. I can’t imagine children enjoying it nowadays.
ReplyDeleteI only ever saw one episode of Peyton Place. That was enough. Loved Hinterland - my sort of bleak country.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on many, but none of the 2000 to 2019 shows.
ReplyDeleteThe only three I've watched are Hill Street Blues, Prime Suspect & Sex and the City. Am I hopelessly off-trend? Jenny and I watch a lot of the Scandi dramas which are first-rate.
ReplyDeleteChildren of the Stones a 1970s ITV (I think) series. Now that was creepy. Probably much more so than the Walking Dead which I now continue to watch as a soap opera (with zombies).
ReplyDeleteSurvivors and the last train, loved them but the resultant nightmares were awful, also Z for Zachariah
ReplyDeleteI loved Mash, The Waltons, Hill St Blues, Rizzoli and Isles, All the NCIS's, CSI's but not Miami one, Charlies Angels, Touched by an Angel (very cheesy), Quantum Leap and Starsky and Hutch. Great memories!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t realize how many American shows that you get on TV. Here, I now watch mostly British TV with well-written stories. Our shows have become too violent or just plain stupid. A sign of the times.
ReplyDeleteHinterland was marvellous, watched it back to back on Netflix. It proves that you can have a gripping story without (or with a minimal amount of) gore, violence, sex or bad language.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it did much for the Aberystwyth tourist trade though.
Watched Farmhouse Kitchen, Prime Suspect, Frost, Morse and Endeavour. Loved Man in Orange Suit----wept buckets at the letter to Michael. Pollie.
ReplyDeleteLoved Paint Along with Nancy . Made it look easy with her grid lines. Loved Bob Ross too. Going to look up Hinterland now. No tele but I have Netflix on my comp.
ReplyDeleteHinterland...hmmmm! I don't know that one. Will have to look it up. I used to watch "Space: 1999" as a child, too. The future seemed so far off, then -- and look at us now, in 2019!
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought of the Banana Splits in forever! Dear lord, that was lifetime ago...I am really enjoying The Walking Dead (even after 9 years, which I cannot believe).
ReplyDeleteIt's improving Elle x
DeleteOoh ... Farmhouse Kitchen, I'd forgotten about that, I loved it. I also like Ready, Steady, Cook, especially when Fern Brittain was the compare. The boys didn't get fed until it was over 🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteI was into a lot of the programmes in your lists. I really need to watch Sex and the City again, before it gets too dated.
If your'e done with Hinterland, time to move on to Shetland. Trust me.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Tomorrow People. Remember it well. Did you like Timeslip too.
