@booboo Clarence the cross eyed lion, loved it

My 14yo daughter discovered The Golden Girls on Disney+ and loves it.

As a kid I never really understood much about it except the one-liners and wisecraks.

Watching now, man it was ahead of its time. Openly discussing health and sexual stuff that was not standard fare for back then.

@Crucial what a difference one letter makes ha ha, I thought this was going to be the brit comedy sketch show, Alas Smith and Jones

Nevorian

The Two Ronnies

No one did badly staged slapstick like 70’s TV shows.

Catchy theme though !

Following o from @Crucial 'a Alias Smith and Jones ... anyone remember Bearcats! ... ?

An absolute classic. I love watching the reruns of that show. And Hogan's Heroes. So many brilliant gags. Don't forget the Cone of Silence

@canefan Yeah, Clone of Silence is another ripper ! ...from a show that started in the 60's the phone & weapon gadgets were brilliant... as you say had plenty of good gags as well, same goes for Hogan's Heroes.

At the risk of a #booboo this popped up in my suggested YouTube videos ...

Pretty sure this has been mentioned...

. .. but getting lots of follow on vids on the series and the stories behind the show.

Awesomely cool back in the early 80s when 1999 was so far far into the future.

I used to love that show. The ships had a cool mechano-like vibe, and some pretty decent actors in there too. I didn't know it was a Gerry Anderson show

Joe 90 was on tele just at the start of my memories, perhaps a little before my time. But I do recall my older bro being a fan. And it was probably not replayable for the reasons described in the following video ...

I always found the acting a bit wooden in that show

Also Battlestar Galactica.

Loved both of those shows. Buck Rogers and the 25th Century as well

There's an ad running currently for Audi.

Car has gull wing doors and fold up cut away steering wheel.

Reminds me of the cars from Logan's Run.

We're watching the 1960's Maigret on a vintage UK TV Channel.

Aging production values but well-written and some great acting with Rupert Davies as Maigret and NZ's very own Ewen Solon as Lucas. Really good - and can see why it has a 8..1 rating on IMDB.
