Nominate an old TV series

[Dry Rot]

Or Greenacres?

Was that it's name about an urban guy (Eddie Albert?) and one of the Gabors going to live in the country? Was there a pig called Arnold?

Yes that's the name of the show, not 100% sure about the name of the pig but 'Arnold' sounds familiar.

This was one of my all-time favorites. The only reason I didn't mention it earlier is because the topic was pre-1980's.

I think I know the one you mean, they had a a whole lot of pine logs floating down the river and some indigenous people.

Yeah, that's the one. Still no idea what it was called though.

A lot of you people should try to get Foxtel - most of the shows mentioned are on it.

The Beachcombers

Anyone else remember another Canadian TV show about a reporter that could see murders, 'Seeing things'? That was another I liked as a kid. Sort of a watered down (and I cannot BELIEVE that I forgot to include this in the original post) Kolchak, the Night Stalker.

Now THAT *Kolchak* was a series!!! Scared the Hell outta me as a kid.

Loved every minute of it too!

 

[lenny&carl]

Yep, Night Stalker was terrifying. I'd forgotten all about it. thanks.

The Beachcombers was great. I'm desperately trying to find the theme tune I remember it was great with the dude in his boat going along the river with all the logs in the water. Be damned if I can find it anywhere though. Bloody looked everywhere.


As for Canadian Shows wasn't The Edison Twins a Canadian show starring a very young Corey Haim?

Yeah that's the one. Thanks for that mate, the name's been bugging me since I mentioned it.

 

[Grendel]

Anyone remember 'When things Were Rotten' the Robin Hood take-off?

Ggggggrrrrr Asg! This thread has me going over memories long forgotten and now I can't stop thinking about things like this

Really obscure tv shows that nobody should be acknowledging let alone remembering that they watched them!!
