90s TV

[s2m2]

Just wanted to rave about 90s TV. Mainly comedy/gameshows/kids TV.

I'm a late 80s baby so I'm of the "Saturday Night = SeaQuest DSV, Baywatch, Gladiators, Blind Date, Casualty" generation.

Loved Krypton Factor and Going for Gold.
Loved Men Behaving Badly, Vicar of Dibley, One Foot in the Grave, Buzzcocks, Keeping Up Appearances, Watching, 2 Point Four Children, and Birds of a Feather.

Ahhhh those were the days.

The original Crystal maze. Not the remake

Friends the first time around when you had to wait a week for a new episode and all summer for a new series.

Dawson’s creek/the OC/One Tree Hill

Those Saturday nights where the family would gather round the tv to watch game shows as well strike it lucky , family fortunes etc or having Sunday dinner & watching the land of the giants & the waltons

 

[s2m2]

Yes! I love all those!! Does anyone remember a tv show (I'm not sure if it was 90's or earlier) where there was a child who went into a tiny door in the skirting board and came out into an animated life where animals talked and could drive cars etc? The one episode I remember vaguely is something to do with a glass bottle factory or something and there was an issue and all these soapy glass bottles were everywhere!! Sorry this is so vague but I cant remember much more and it's been driving me crazy for years trying to remember!!

I'm going to google the life out of that because I remember it too but don't remember the name of it.

Noel's House Party!!! Yesss!!
Bruce's Generation Game. Big Break. Dale's Supermarket Sweep (on at 9:25 before Richard & Judy)

My brain is just flooded with 90s shows now.
Were you CBBC or CITV kids? Must admit I liked a bit of both.
Though, CBBC had some greats like The Demon Headmaster, The Queen's Nose, The Animals of Farthing Wood, Five Children and It, Byker Grove.

Stop me I could go on all day.

Nothing says 90s to me like the Christmas Toys R Us advert.

Ps: a slight deviation from the title, but does anyone remember the Point Horror books?
They were the best. Started collecting them again.

Anyone remember Saturday nights Man O Man? Remember a big pool and men being pushed in by women. Probably similar to how Take me Out is now.

[Can'tHelpMyself]

I used to watch one called Big Bertha about a machine in a factory and Family Ness too. Then of course Sweet Valley High, Saved by the Bell and I used to like some game show with Shane Ritchie and a cupid or something on a Saturday night? I'm sure it was utter shit, but the 10 year old me thought it was great

[wotdidijustwatch]

Coming home from school and instantly putting the TV on CBBC. Glass of Sunny Delight, packet of 10p crisps and literally fighting with my niece over who got to sit in the armchair nearest the TV. We were close in age as my older sister had her when she were 17 and I was 2 when she was born. My sister worked odd hours, we went to the same school so my mum would look after her and do her tea. She got picked up from ours around 6ish.
After fighting over the chair my mum separates us both and no one gets to sit in the chair and if we start then the TV goes off and we sit and read. No 9 year old wants that
I get the sofa, she gets the armchair in the corner and we throw dirty looks at each other whilst watching the likes of....

Hubbub
Zzapp
Smart....cbbc version of art attack
The Demon Headmaster
Hey Arnold
Goosebumps
Grange Hill....who else watched this and was like oohh cant wait to go to high school, got there and realised it was nothing like it?
Blue Peter
News Round
The Queens Nose....my favourite. Always tried to find that 50p, it had a certain year stamped on it.
Bodger and Badger

 

[SarahGard83]
