Stripey Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 What is the world coming to, i mean, someone has made a fucking dukes of hazzard movie. I have come to the conclusion that I am fucking sick of people saying how cool stuff like neighbours, transformers, dukes of hazzard, the a-team, quincy, and 80's cockrock bands are. Turn around and face the future for fucksake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvin Starclusk Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I agree with this up to a point, BUT The Scorpions still destroyed Communism, and until a band betters that, they deserve all the praise they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camie Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 yes because watching Neighbours... a show set in the present day is soooo 80's. I think you have been watching too much re-runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachie Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Yeah, fuck the past, who cares what came before us, we shouldn't enjoy watching shows that were made long before we were born, I mean, that's just stupid.Fuck off.Just because you can't understand a bit of nostalgia doesn't mean there is anything wrong with folk happening to enjoy watching the old shows. Some of the stuff on tv right now isn't a patch on the old cartoons and tv shows. And Del sometimes the fact that shows like Quincy are "naff" make them all the more enjoyable Give me Diagnosis Murder over "brand new Doctor Who" any day.Mr T pitys you, foo'.

Taylor_dB Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I've loved Transformers for years, and now that I can buy them on DVD (and have) I think I'm happy to lie on my bed, watch the fucking cartoon and not give a shit about what some people in this thread think.

Kan' Sharuminar Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just because you can't understand a bit of nostalgia doesn't mean there is anything wrong with folk happening to enjoy watching the old shows. Some of the stuff on tv right now isn't a patch on the old cartoons and tv shows.Agreed. Pfft. NO modern cartoon comes close to the days of Bucky O' Hare and Ulysses 31. And don't get me started on Diagnosis Murder's greatness.Yes it's horrific that classic programmes are getting remade, but but they dissapear quickly and everyone remembers how great the original was. All works out and the sensible ones make original programmes.And so forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 as i said before there's no harm in looking back and i do enjoy watching old programmes but we seem to be gripped with nostalgia at the moment. for the record i loved the original series of the dukes of hazzard, the film looks terrible mind!

Guest bluesxman Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I bought one of the 'Monkey' videos when they came out because I loved it as a kid. Soon realised it was shite. Theme song is still pretty groovy tho....and his flying pink cloud. And teh fact he looks like Gaz from Supergrass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like Dukes of Hazzard and A-Team though, they both stood up to the test of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
