For guys that grew up in the east especially enugu do you remember: Night Ryder A.K.A Kitt/ Michael Knit ( How many people back then really knew programmes by their real names lol!), you just hv to abandone wateva it is you were doing once you here the theme song for this program every Saturday evening. -Wonder Woman! -ovid Video! -Get Smart!

(then this programme really bored me to death!, what were they tinking? just in doors talking n talking, no action, no gunshots, no karate! KMT! lol) -Willy willy- Scary shit back then! -The all mighty Tales by Moonlight! - Frank olize's News line (was about the only day network news was worth watching!!) -JETS (Junior engineers watever lol!) - Ripples Cheii, i am sure i will remember more later, i can still recall most of the theme songs!, everything was cool back then, i guess it was b'cos the options were limited and the programmers put in their best, checkmate, behind the clouds, mirror in the sun, and cockcrow at dawn were total classics i do love to own a personal collection of all these. na wah, even the radio stations were cool then, I hated music from the Masters on sundays hahah! 2 Likes |

NTA network programming of the 80's were so impactful largely due to the non-existence of cable TV by then. However one can say that Nigerian soaps were better thought true back then,did somebody mention the village headmaster and hotel the Jordan?Now those were classic |

Re: Does Anyone miss NTA Of The 80's? by ElRazur: 12:23pm On Apr 12, 2009 |
phantom: "On the mart [or mat]" was the proper wrestling before the advent of wwf, royal rumble etc. They gave us "Michael Hayes" "Kevin" "Mascara" "Mighty Igor" etc. I hurt myself trying to emulate some of those flying moves. I think after those people came "The warrior" "New mascara" "Papa shango" "Hulk hogan", but by then I already realised wrestling was scripted, You can imagine the anger in me. lol |

richyblack: What a memory! I saw everything on that Drama list except CHIPS/STASRKY AND HUTCH/MATLOCK. Only COSMOS and 3-2-1 Contact on the second list. Did you ever see ARC 2 The Man in the Briefcase Vegas I remember Howard's way. Good drama. Cockcrow at Dawn had a lovely theme song by Bongos. Randall and Hopkins is the guy in white who won't stay dead.I LOVED Robin of Sherwood. The music and the atmosphere was fabulous. And Bigfoot!I'd forgotten that one! And Sandoka, the guy with the sword! The CI5 guys were the coolest things in existence,along with The Saint. The Invisible Man! Peter! Man, the nolstagia is just, Spike I remember that car ad. The cartoon car with the symptoms. Man, those were amazingly creative years. 1 Like 1 Share |

NTA of the eighties? hmm Well, when NTA used to be the supremo and only station, come on, we had little or no choice. I remember when I got into the country I'd sit in front of the TV watching the snow flakes until they start by 4pm or is it 5pm ( can't remember). It was a torture. Thank God for private television now.HURRAY 24 hours TV!!! NTA new presenters especially the ladies were well attired and really gorgeous. The read news really well, somthing our private stations need to pick up from. Some presenters can't even , let me not go there and there outsits , ( obviously borrowed ), let me not go any further and , come on , NTA back then has the funniest wackiest and interest Nigerian Soaps and , well to sum it up , I can't say I miss it. Our private stations are doing a pretty good job. Nothing like variety - THE SPICE OF LIFE |
