TV Series From the Past

What TV series/programs can you remember
watching as a child?

Ive just been on youtube and found Roots (TV
miniseries), about slave-trading and the
history of Blacks in America... a very
emotional program showing the plight and
terror people were put through and wronged by
inhumane slavery. As little as I was I
enjoyed this.. however, I dunno , I was never
sure of the main characters name..Kunta
Kinte.

Did you watch this?

Roots.. based on a true story that turned out
to me completely made up.

"V".. anyone remember that old sci-fi series
in the 80's? Pretty cool if you were 13 years
old at the time.

I'm still watching roots, I forgot how
upsetting and disgusting it was, we as whites
did such inhumane crimes to less poor people.
I cant but help feel so ashamed.

John Amos played Kunta as an adult, was he
the voice of top cat?

Citizen Smith: was an old favorite of
mine,"Freedom for Tooting".

Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased):
Another classic that still shown sometimes.

Columbo: The
detective series love that too .

Monk: A modern one
that makes me laugh with his ocd's .

Randall and Hopkirk!! Loved that programme!


Dallas was a goody as well. *Drools over
Bobby Ewing*

Dynasty, everyone would tune in to watch
Alexis and Crystal fight.

Knots Landing I enjoyed a lot, and yet it
came off air so suddenly, and never to be
seen again.
