Remember the TV of your youth?

Well, its mainly British but tons of yanks on another board I visit are going crazy for the international stuff on this site -

http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/

It's superb, especially for brits. Check out the childrens section for classic Aardman in Morph, and look under K for Kia Ora for one of the best drinks adverts ever.

IT'S TOO ORANGEY FOR CROWS!

i used to love that big animated chewit dinosaur, then they replaced him with a cartoon animation and it stank.

guiness ads are all class.

1984's wrigleys always remind me of scooby-doo

good stuff but some is way too old for a young'n like me.

YES!! All of the great Britcoms!

Worzel Gummidge! Totally forgotten about him. "Loveable scarecrow" my ass! He always freaked me out.

Bah, I shouldn't have looked at that site. Guess I'll be sleeping with the light on tonight...

If its any consolation, the Hulk used to have me hiding at the top of the stairs.

Great site though. Can't believe they've got Morph! That Chewitts advert is brill though.

I do.

It sucked big time.

Ah, the fond (and not so fond) memories.

Have you tried http://tv.cream.org/ at all?

They've got a great TV themes directory and a snacks gone by section called Best Before. Plus a load of stuff, much of which they've put up since I last visited. Now I'm going to have to spend hours delving through TWO classic TV sites.

I remember the TV of my youth! Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, Harvy Birdman. Good times. Good times.

Sage · 06-22-2005, 03:17 PM

Maude, All In The Family, Good Times, The Sonny & Cher Show, The Carol Burnett Show, Tony Orlando & Dawn, The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, The Streets Of San Francisco, Cannon, Charlie's Angels, Night Gallery, Circle Of Fear, Hawaii Five-O, The Night Stalker, The Muppet Show, The Midnight Special, and Saturday Night Live back when it was screamingly funny.

I didn't know you Brits had your own adventure game(think Krypton Factor logic quiz, think Mensa, think Rubik's Cube) show.

For me it has to be Dr Who, with Tom Baker as "The Doctor"

This was in the early 70's, and the episodes with The Daleks were some of the scariest tv moments ever!!!

I know people joke about this, but I really did hide behind the sofa during any episodes involving The Daleks........
