I used to love that era of TV. Banana Splits, Batman, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, Mission Impossible. I watched an old ‘Land of the giants’ a few weeks ago on one of the obscure cable channels no-one watches and it was so well made for its time. It looked like they made massive sets for every scene to make them look small, no cgi back then. Edited by monkey (22 Feb 2019 1.53pm)

Much as I dislike being pendantic, it was actually called "Alternate Title" in the UK as the record company were nervous about releasing a song with the word "git" in the name, as it was deemed to be a controversial word back then. It was released under its original name in the US, the word being meaningless there. You leave me hanging on your every word.

Edited by monkey (22 Feb 2019 1.53pm) Continuing the pedantry, that's in fact a paradox because you watched it. Now had you put an 'else' in there... Apologies for teasing. Land of the Giants is one of those famous shows that I somehow managed to completely avoid. Maybe it clashed with something sensible that I was forced to watch, like Blue Peter. No VCR back then and no 2nd TV set either!

I was a Doctor Who man meself (but not of the sh*tfest it's morphed into these days). Edited by Cucking Funt (22 Feb 2019 3.50pm)

My first wife told me she was leaving me because I wasn't a Monkees fan. I thought she was joking. Then I saw her face. Now I'm a believer.
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

And what about ‘The Time Tunnel’?? How good was that?

A lot of these old series are on the Horror Channel but I find them unwatchable as they obviously haven't discovered widescreen yet and the pictures look awful
