What TV programme did you like when you were younger, but it isn't the same when you watch it now?

I used to like things like the A Team and Dukes of Hazard, etc, they seemed so real back then, but so fake now and the remakes 🤮

Chopper Squad,Wow I forgot all about that.
That was quite a good show

Loved it as kid but have only managed to find one episode in more recent years... it was tiresome; 40 minutes of nothing happening then five minutes of helicopters. Back in the day i was probably playing with Lego so was otherwise engaged in the boring bits.

King of the Rocket Men was often aired in the school holidays. It was dated in the 70s but still enjoyable to an 8 year old me. Tried re-watching that in more recent years and it's hard work.

I was very chuffed to find a DVD box set of Kung Fu in a charity shop. Loved that as a kid but my lord it's slower than a slow thing. Even the fight scenes are atrocious. Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful.

But a lot of stuff i watched as a kid I've still enjoyed as an adult... but that's a different thread.

The Sweeny.

It was really gritty and hard-hitting in it's day, but now it looks a bit like a caricature of itself. "Get your trousers on, you're nicked".

The theme tune's really evocative, though.

That was the good old days, you forgot the filming of the teams going to John Collier or Burtons to get their cup final suits, and the cup final record that every team seemed to make. 😂

In the 1970's the BBC's FA Cup Final showing was always followed by The Pink Panther, around 5.15. Though if the game went into extra-time they'd skip the Pink Panther and go straight to the evening news.😉
