File Manager is the best for bulk renaming too

The most fun you could possibly have short of watching paint dry!

Didn't have Repton but had something similar on an old PS1 Net Yarose compilation (demo 42 from the UK Playstation magazine). Game was called Rocks and Gems. Good times!

I don't know if it's just me but did anyone ever actually complete those games? I might have just about finished Zork one time years later but for all the games I started that was about it. Good times though. Scott Adams will always be a hero of mine

Millennial. But we had Granny's Garden running on an Acorn Archidedes in our country rather than Oregon Trail. I was a kid in the 90s

Oh yeah I watched a ton of 70s sitcoms a few years back. Mostly Norman Lear and MTM productions. Stuff like All In The Family, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, Mary Tyler Moore and its spin-offs. Watch a ton of Happy Days in anticipation of watching one or two of the 80s spinoffs, but never managed to finish it and lost my appetite for any more of that. Lol.

I never finished MASH just because its one of those shows you have to be in the mood for. but I enjoyed it and finished the first couple seasons. I need to finish it sometime.

The laugh track thing is weird - after watching so many 70s and 80s sitcoms I tune it out. I think its not so bad when the jokes are actually good and its a live audience, but some of those early 2000s shows were so obnoxious with it.

Interestingly I think they released some MASH episodes without the laugh track. You should look hat up if you go for a rewatch

I powered through those old KTMA episodes years ago. I will probably try and watch them again but I know exactly what you mean. I still love Joel though and I like the way he comes across in the early episodes, and the skits were good if I remember correctly. My biggest complaint with those is the movies themselves - there's way too many Kaiju and puppet movies for my liking. 5 Gamera movies back to back is tough to say the least.

I dunno, it's up there with Knight Rider and Airwolf in that it's cool as hell to start with, but an hour long episode every week is a drag. My opinion anyway, but I feel like once you've seen a handful of episodes it gets boring. Someone else said the best part of those shows is the theme song and I have to agree.

[-] Harryd91@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it was my absolute top number 1 favourite show for a very long time. It's one of those shows I can just throw on any episode any time and enjoy it. Cheers, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart Show, Newhart and Golden Girls are top 5 for that vibe. Like a warm hug

Yeah I totally forgot to mention TNG but I did watch it. First season has its moments but isn't the best.

Still good to see though. Punky Brewster I didn't get past the first couple episodes. It was cool but think I was fatigued what with all the other similar shows. Same reason I didn't really bother with Webster at the time.

I think I had a look for Tracey Ullman but I don't know if there are many episodes available?

Small Wonder must have passed me by. It looks dreadful! Hopefully in a good way though? I'll check it out but I just recently got through Out of this World and that was pretty terrible. Sounds kinda similar.

I watched the first episode of Magnum PI and was impressed by the quality. Never picked it back up for some reason though. I never watched Simon and Simon - think I was overwhelmed with hour-long detective shows at the time and a lot of them got bumped from my schedule.

I did actually have V on my list but never got round to it. I wanted to see the TV movie first but my partner is a hard-sell on that sort of stuff. I'll have to find some time for it. Buck Rogers sounds like fun! One thing I love about that era is that they could produce the silliest shows and keep a straight face.

Now you mention sci-fi I just realised I didn't mention Star Trek TNG in my post...
