I just did this in the music section. Now it is time for the TV section.

How many of us here are old enough to remember:

[list]
[li]Famous Five ("We are the famous fiiiiive, " ),
[li]Tales by moonlight[/li]
[li]That game show where they sang "Benue state, I am proud, I am proud to be a Nigeriaaaaaan"[/li]
[li]The Avengers[/li]
[/list]

You guys got any more?

Man, the memories. What I wouldn't give to watch those all over again

I remember tales by moonlight

I remember That thing that dey do on TV, it's eductaional, uhmmm i dunno ooo,

I remember "super story"?

I remember uhmm, well quite a few.

Cock Crow At Dawn, Yes oooo. I remember Uncle Gaga

I remember Chief Zebrudaya Okorigwe Nwogbo alias 4:30 of new masquerade, as well as the rest of the crew, "Ovularia", "Clarus", "Gringory", Jegede Sokoya, Ramota and "Nati". I used to enjoy that show.

I remember Basi and Company, written by the late Ken Saro Wiwa. Basi and his get rich quick schemes!

I remember second chance, and Madam Kofo's gele!

I also remember the Village Headmaster, especially Eleyinmi's insults - nonsense and ingredients, sacriligious niconcos (or something like that), gangajial edifice, ingeorgious!

I remember "teacher chike". What's the name of that one?

I remember 2nd chance with madam Kofo saying, come in if you're handsome and rich!

Who remembers THE THIRD EYE, Olu Jacobs, ?

I remember school debate and hotel de jordan from nta benin. wow those were the good ol days.

I remember 2nd chance with madam Kofo saying, come in if you're handsome and rich!

That wasn't second chance, that was Madam the Madam from Basi and company.

Who remembers THE THIRD EYE, Olu Jacobs, ?

Yeah! I really loved that show as a child. I wonder where that girl is now? I believe her name was Yomi Adeyemi Wilson.

Haa!!

Consultant, you had to go there with Basi & Co. "To be a millionaire, think like a millionaire", "Madam the madam, It's a matter of cash"

This is the type of conversation I was hoping to generate.

Thanks guys. Let's keep the memories flowing. How I wish we could all hook up and get together at some joint somewhere, sit at a round table and gist away from dusk till dawn LOL

my2cents,am afraid you don't realise that there are pervs around and gisting isnt all they would be doing,

Yes CL,most of them are old Niegrian TV shows.

I was just wondering this morning why the kids of today are not that lucky. They hardly watch TV programmes that makes sense and entertaining. The politicians have taken over TV now so they show whatever suits them.

Who can remember inspector gadget. Danger Mouse, Super ted, Voltron - The defender of the Universe? So many interesting programmes that will make you run immediately you close from school. Robinhood is a series I don't enjoy missing at all.

Damn! Nigeria

I remember danger mouse,superted, etc!Today,children still have what to watch after school- powerpuff girls,Johnny Bravo, etc.Those are equally good programmes for the 21st century.
Who can remember Rent-A-Ghost?

spikedcylinder,

you just made me reailize something - Just like our parents probably thought we were nuts for watching "Famous Five", so someone like me would ask what parent in their right mind would let their kid watch Teletubbies, for instance

lol.Teletubbies is a crazy boring kids show but kids love it all the same,who are they hurting?

there are those here in the states who claim that the purple (or abi na pink one? i no dey watch) teletubby is promoting homosexuality.

Regardless, I just don't see the sense in 5 scary looking things hopping up and down on the screen lol

I dont watch the programme but how is it promoting homosexuality?Does it have a male-female vice?Does it like to play with just boys?If its female, vice versa.,,,,,?

Again, I haven't watched the show for more than 30 seconds at a time. I am only reporting based on what I have followed on the news. For the few seconds I have watched it, I don't see it though.

Again, regardless though, for the little I have seen, it just doesn't rub me the right way and as a result, none of my children will be watching it if I have my way

If your kids like it,why wont you want them to watch it?Because it promotes homosexuality?

u seem to be hung up on the homosexuality part of it We can take this to YIM if you want (mu username is on my profile page), but to hopefully answer your question:

I would have to watch the show in its entirety to make that judgement call. Right now though, if I say my kids won't watch, homosexuality isn't going to be the reason for now. It just doesn't rub me the right way. It's a feeling I can't explain.

Ok,fair enough, but why wont you let them watch?Its not like its a bad programme,kids love it eventhough its boring to most adults.Am sure you'll be a very strict parent!

Hey, who remembers the series of "Things Fall Apart," "Cock Crow At Dawn" "Behind the Cloud," "Story land "Dr Who" "G-Force", those were the good ol'days

dearzi,

During my last trip to Naija in 2004, I happened to find a VCD dealer who had the entire set of Things fall apart. I bought all 12 and am yet to regret dropping N4,800 for them all

My2cents, can i borrow it when you're done? i promise i'll take good care of it, and i'll return it once i'm done, honestly i will,

2cents,you got a bargain because what you bought is priceless!

2cents,you got a bargain because what you bought is priceless!where did you even find it?

I bought the VCDs at a video joint along Ndidem Usang Iso Road in Calabar. To tell you the truth, I didn't go there for that. I was just looking to rent. But lo and behold, on the floor, covered by other VCDs, I saw Pete Edochie's picture on a cover and I was like Whoa!!

A friend of mine just came back last year with another set, much better quality. You would think they would have a website and market it directly (oops, maybe I just gave someone a million dollar idea for free LOL)

million dollar my ass!

Checkmate anyone!What I would give to watch it over again.
