Obscure TV shows you remember

[Bunk Moreland]

Sam and The Fatman, they tried to merge the two footy shows in a kind of light variety / entertainment show hosted by Newman and Vautin. Think it lasted 1 or 2 weeks.

 

[JUBJUB]

Chances, and Sex with Sophie Lee, for a bit of early 90s titillation.

The show where Kate Langbroek got to show her knockers

The show where Kate Langbroek got to show her knockers

I was more interested in Jeremy Sims' arse.

 

[SugarShane]

Bit young to notice those but I remember Sex/Life on Channel 10.

Well I remember watching it for about a minute and dad forcefully telling me to change the channel.

Sex/Life was an absolute goldmine for a young lad. I had a TV in my room so you better believe I was in my bedroom by 9:30 every Wednesday night. Bring it back I say.

All those animal based TV shows that appeared on GEM a few years back, like Cheetah Kingdom. They tried to make it half way between David Attenborough
and Meerkat Manor.

Boobs every week.
What more could my teenage self back then.

 

[JoseMourinho]

Sliders

Sliders

awesome show.

Remember that world they found that was like 99.99% women and all men ever did was root.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Not sure if obscure but as there was only 6 episodes Police Squad was classic

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Ben Elton Live From Planet Earth. What a trainwreck.

There's Something About Miriam. The show about men trying to get with a transwoman. Words fail me.

[RolandF1]

awesome show.

Remember that world they found that was like 99.99% women and all men ever did was root.

And there was an odd subplot involving political issues with Australian Women! Australia having the most men in the world due to whatever virus was out there not effecting us as badly.

"Cigarette?"
"Yes, I know"

Yeah comedy gold. Was cancelled because "you had to watch it too enjoy it", it had a lot of visual gags.

I could understand some not liking it, but if you have not seen it then give it a go. All six episodes are available on You Tube.

 

[Borry]

Was that Sevens friday night footy show with I think Sandy Roberts,Tim Watson,Peter Helliar ??? and I think the token chick might've been Bridgitte Duclos ?

That was 4 Quarters.

 

[Borry]

Supermarket Sweep. Should bring that show back.

Million Dollar Chance of a Lifetime. Poor mans Millionaire.

Ripsnorters. Unfunny Garry McDonald game show on 7.

Dog eat Dog.

Newlyweds.

Bob Morrison Show.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Sex/Life was an absolute goldmine for a young lad. I had a TV in my room so you better believe I was in my bedroom by 9:30 every Wednesday night. Bring it back I say.

I had Optus Vision in my room when I was about 14-15 onwards and there was also a similar show from the US called Real Sex on Comedy Channel that always stuck me to my bed late on a Sunday night.

Obviously most know that Police Squad went on to become The Naked Gun but for anybody unaware and like the style a very similar premise has been used by the very recent Steve Carrell created 'Angie Tribeca' which is pretty ok.

Also, both were bettered for mine by the far more skillful 'Sledgehammer'.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Kate Langbrook was even scary back then.

What about 'Pugwall', the tv version of the book about Peter Unwin George Wall and his band the Orange Organics. Not enough references to the fact he was a Geelong supporter in the tv version.

 

[Smoooothy]

The House From Hell (circa 1998, was probably the precursor to Big Brother), radio "experiment" that put 6 people in the same house and recorded the outcome. can remember it being pretty entertaining

Breakers had me hooked for a couple years, quality viewing straight after sports tonight, such diverse story lines never before seen on an Australian soap

Live & Kicking - Jason Dunstall's first foray into hosting on a Wednesday night

 

[Gough]

Sylvania Waters, pretty much the granddaddy of reality television.

 

[Catfish Alley]

A couple that I used to watch after school were Spellbinder and Miraculous Mellops. Also the show my avatar is from - Mysterious Cities of Gold.

So that's where it's from!

Not a bad show that one. Definitely set the groundwork for Big Brother.

Live & Kicking - Jason Dunstall's first foray into hosting on a Wednesday night

I actually didn't mind Live and Kicking. Wasn't bad for something different. And of course it gave us the Not/It's The Crows Again songs.
