I’m trying to download, archive, and upscale as much older Australian TV content as I can, and would love to see what other people watched or enjoyed so I can try to preserve it as well.

    Ones I already have:

    • Acropolis Now
    • Bush Tucker Man
    • Kingswood Country (missing 15 eps)
    • Mother and Son (the original, not the shithouse remake)
    • Rake
    • The Hollowmen (only have shitty DVD rips, would love something better)

    Ones I want, but haven’t started looking for:

    • Stingers
    • The Late Show
    • Hey Hey
    • Full Frontal
    • Fast Forward
    • Comedy Company
    • The Big Gig
    • Good News Week
    • Front Line
    • Russell Coight’s All Aussie Adventures (I have the 2018 eps - not the early 2000s ones)
    • All Together Now

    Ones I enjoyed, but am on the fence about committing storage space to:

    • Kath and Kim
    • Caron’s Law
    • The Sullivans
    • Blue Heelers
    • Rafferty’s Rules
    • Cop Shop

      How embarrassment I don’t know if I should watch it again or just hold the happy memory of acropolis now.

      I think Kath and Kim is a keeper. Like Kingswood Country, the suburban social commentary runs deeper than the gags make it appear. Based on your mention of The Sullivans, I would also recomend Power Without Glory if you can find it. That is a largely true story from that era which was very well done.
