Sadly too many of the cast of B5 have gone.

Hands.

It's worth watching that Canal Journeys series on Channel 4 for a few minutes to better appreciate just how good Waterways was , sadly Dick Warner has gone.

"In Name Only" shows and reboots can die a death. Like MacGyver

Carnivale.

Was that on RTE? I got into it through talk in an absinthe forum about the character Gotz who drank the stuff, love it, so different to Lost and others from around the same time 2004/2005. I also have the attraction to it from working festival events which always incorporate carnivals too, well the twister and big wheel anyway. Carnivale is like the original 'on the road' festival that gladdened the hearts of the Okies trying to survive the dustbowl depression years.

I'm against bring any of my favourite shows back, any that did were awful.

Also, what's so wrong with the TV Forum???

As a child fascinated by science, technology and spaceflight, I loved BBC show Tomorrow’s World.

Alas, AFAIK there is currently no technology show to match TW on TV today...

They date too quickly now. No sell on value. YouTube and podcasts have it covered. Myth busters etc probably cover some of that audience, even though it's not up to date it's resellable

A Team movie had horrible casting

Should have been

George Clooney as hanibal
Rob Lowe as Face
Jim Carey as murdoch
Ice cube as BA

Don't agree with that casting but they messed up the A-Team movie reboot. They should have played it straight and gritty as an 18's movie(yes, i know, not like the tongue in cheek tv show).

Bachelors walk

kowloon

How about Manimal, but they're not allowed use cgi.

NSAman

I'm not sure if it was shown on RTE but I think it's the same one you remember. I first watched it on DVD rented from Laser on Georges St. That was a great shop. The absinthe drinking character was called Lodz. A strange show but I loved it. I'm a fan of anything that explores odd goings on, particularly in small town America. American Gothic was another good one.

Love to see Due South return (with the original Ray).

Maybe Quantum Leap, even if it was a reboot, as long as Scott got to be in the first episode passing along the baton as it where, great show.

Due South: Wasn't I only checking IMDb yesterday to suss out if there was a musical episode or - entirely possible - I'm losing my mind? Either way, loved it. Also, Paul Gross has aged magnificently well.

Quantum Leap: splendid altogether. More recently, Scott played Jake's father (via phone) in "Source Code". Seamlessly, they managed to get an "Oh, boy," in there which only folks of your and my vintage will have gotten.

Back to thread: "Scrubs" with the original cast: tears and laughter in equal measure.

Whehey!

Cathy & Teresa’s World of Big Boobs, used to be on the old “Men & Motors” channel.

You could get all that craft stuff on YouTube. You don't need to wait for a TV show to be scheduled anymore. There will be endless YouTube videos on hand crafts.

Re reality TV. Love island starts again next week so buckle up for another 3 months of reality TV being in the front of people's minds.

Love Island is a load of teenybopper bollocks.

Another one, The End.

The end was mad stuff, how did rte ever allow it?

Spent many a night in my early teenage years laughing at that show. It was as if RTE deliberately made it as a gateway show to cannabis.

Moncrieff's next show is another that deserves a mention, Don't Feed The Gondolas. I'm sure its already been said on this thread.
