Just remembered Blankety Blank, wrestling on a saturday afternoon (era of 
Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks etc.), It ain't half hot mum, Auf Weidersein Pet.

Some of the above shows may have been from the late 70's and up to the early 
90's!

OK, might as well...
first, some of them are '70s... Galactica, buck rogers, new avengers,
hitchikers... (Galactica 1980 was the only 80s one in them and that
certainly wasn't worthy of comment beyond "CRAP!!!!") 
:)

Airwolf, Knight Rider, Rentaghost, Grange Hill, Box of Delights, Play
School, Dungeons and Dragons, Inspector Gadget, Tiswas,
Multi-Coloured-Swap-Shop, Fang face, Dynomutt, The adventure Game, Into The
Labyrinth, Street Hawk, Blue Thunder, Mask, Visionaries, The A Team,
Scarecrow and Mrs King, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Bring em Back Alive, Dr
who, Dark Season, Star Trek Next Gen, Count Duckula, Alias the Jester, Take
Hard/Hartbeat, Jigsaw, Red Dwarf, Who Dares Wins, Comic Strip Presents,
Saturday live, Friday night live, Saturday Superstore, Going Live, Number
73, On the Waterfront, Scratchy and Co....

That'll do to confuse lister for a while...
