Tv and childhood

[Jonna_Rex]

Just saw a glimpse of the Golden Girls on tv and it kind of brought back the childhood someways. That Sofia is still funny.What were the tv programmes when you were a kid, what did you watch?
Well for me it was the MacGyver, Streethawk and for sure Knight Rider.

A team, Knight rider, dangermouse, trapdoor, rainbow, chips...

We only had one tv in the house when I was growing up, so being the youngest in a family of 6 I never got much say over what was on tv!!!! So apart from kid's stuff like Bagpuss, Mr Benn etc, and Why Don't You was a fave when I was a bit older not a lot else stands out?

Only if you apply PC. That and Alf Garnett were pefectly normal harmless fun until the intellectual left took over, started getting silly about it and blowing race out of all proportion. And now we all labour under their self-imposed yoke of 'mustn't offend'. And look at the crap it's got us into.

Sorry, feel better now Good choice of progs too.

Erm, not sure i agree with you. I'm no bleading heart liberal, in fact i'm a hunting, shooting, down the pub sort of country person. But i do believe that programmes like 'Love thy neighbour' and 'Mind you language' were very wrong. I'm not sure Alf Garnett falls into the same catagory because he was a figure of fun himself. He was to be rediculed himself which meant you accepted that what he was saying was wrong or an extreme view.

Alf Garnett actually helped awake British people to the racism endemic in society back in the 60s. At the time, the main reason "'Til Death us Do Part" was criticied was because of the use of bad language - words such as "Bloody" and "Ruddy" had not been heard on TV up to that point. Mrs Whitehouse got into rather a lather over the whole thing. She must be spinning in her grave over today's TV.

They got away with it because all the stuff about "Master Bates" and "Roger the cabin boy" is just urban myth.
