Pretty sure Seven ran the whole series of Police Squad in a late timeslot a few years ago.
@dturbo what u think young people 13-29 don’t watch old repeat stuff? As someone in that age bracket I have found the shows to be better made, less pretentious and much more entertaining. Bring it on!
These movies were on GEM a month ago…..talk about repetiton!!!
oh ace! I lost my PVR recording of Flying High when it was on last as I had to replace my unit… i’ll be able to record it again now.
I think he’s great in every role – he only has to be in the scene for me to smile.
@J Shaw, isn’t the line:
“Jimmy, have you ever seen a grown man naked?”
Aaron, you can get Police Squad on DVD … so worth it!
Pretty sure Police Squad had a run in its day.
David,
Do you know if any of the networks hold the rights to screen the shortlived Leslie Nielsen ‘Police Squad’?
@dturbo Great ageism there, I’m twenty and I know who Leslie was, and frankly his movies are better the so called “funny” stuff that’s out now.
The first Naked Gun was on Saturday just gone and it was the first time I had seen it. Great cult film and I will definitely be recording the rest of them.
+1 for Forbidden Planet
They should play kids cartoon series “Katie and Orbie”. Leslie Nielson is the narrator in that, and if I remember correctly it was mainly the narrator talking throughout the show.
Joey, “have you ever seen a naked woman”
Good suggestion, Nathan – Dracula Dead and Loving It has been unavailable on DVD in Oz for donks.
Would be good to see Nielsen in Disney’s Swamp Fox adventure, as well –
that was released on DVD in Yankee Land, but not in Oz…
I thought this channel was going to be ‘distinctly youthful’ aimed at 13 – 29’s? What’s with all this repeat stuff? They showed Airplane back in November when Leslie died. ELEVEN has been a total disappointment. How did it achieve 3.3 in the ratings last week with the non-stop old stuff playing? I’m sure a Billy Madison / Happy Gilmore double isn’t too far away. Hopefully Packer and Murdoch will bring in their own people/programmers and tap Mott and Co. on the shoulder.
I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley
Meh… all the same old stuff that they always show. They should run stuff we haven’t seen for ages that he’s in like Creepshow (1982).
At least it’s not all those crappy Scary Movies.
I wish they’d run “Forbidden Planet”.
Shirley you can’t be serious!
How about Dracula Dead and Loving It! one night.
