Cosby isn't as funny as Mark Day.

I wish they would air Untamed World again , excellent theme music , great footage of critters from all over . I haven't seen it in ages .

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's 'Not only but also'. It had great stuff like the 'Alan a Dale' song. I heard the BBC has lost most of the shows though.

I also miss Beast Wars. Oh, and MST3K.

Here's an odd one I'll admit to. It took 12 years for Ally McBeal to finally hit DVD, which I just noticed it did. I netflixed the first season because I remember liking the little bit I saw of it when it was on.

Through a fairly convoluted chain of a cousin, his friends and returning to Australia we recently acquired a huge collection of unwanted DVDs. I started watching the Sopranos, it's much better than I remember.

It was an excellent series. The scenes with the analyst were great. That's one of the fascinating things about US TV, everyone has an analyst...even the mafia.

I just saw the last episode of Lost. It wasn't bad. Obviously it couldn't tie up all the things it started, but it was entertaining and didn't suck.

Like Ark, I'm reviewing UFO material. In that I'm watching some 1st season episodes of the X-Files. I have to say, I don't remember the special effects being this hokey on the X-Files. I'm thinking (hoping?) that the later seasons got a bigger budget.

[Tigger_the_Wing]

Perhaps modern special effects have spoilt you for the older stuff?

Now that I've discovered a channel that seems to be dedicated to old programmes, I've also discovered that they aren't nearly as good as I remembered them as being.

Except for Fawlty Towers, of course.

[PKMKII]

I don't think so. I grew up watching Doctor Who on PBS, and then when I went back years later and watched them on DVD, the special effects looked pretty much the way I remember them. However, I am pretty sure that I wasn't watching the X-Files until about season 3, and it took a couple seasons before it became an "it" show, so it would make sense that the effects got better.

Although you do bring up a good idea for people to post on: shows that you fondly remember, only to rewatch them years later and you realize they suck. For me, that would have to be the Thundercats. As a wee lad, I obsessively watched that show. Then as a teenager, I watched an episode on Cartoon Network, and I was just like, "Was I really so stupid that I found this crap riveting?" By contrast, then and now I still like the original transformers cartoons.

I googled Thundercats. It made me think of this card game

Green Wing. I'd forgotten just how funny it is Mark Heap is a really talented actor, I didn't connect Statham with the crazy artist from Spaced.
