Classic TV Listings

Was Shari Show with Shari Lewis who hosted Lamb Chop’s Play Along in the 90s?

Yes she did host that series which she ran from 1992 to 1995.

yup Lamb Chops was one of my earliest TV memories from back then, cool to know we also got Shari Show before that

We were getting The Shari Lewis Show back in the 1960s

I am not sure about it here in New Zealand, if you have a research the classic NZ Tv listings there’s may be a little luck I guess? I have no idea

We were getting The Shari Lewis Show back in the 1960s Blockquote

Yup, and then when i was young, it was Lamb Chop’s Play Along, i did watch Shari Show on Youtube while i was in hospital for a Hernia repair in December i thought it was cool seeing someone from my childhood in her early show

Layouts quite different in TV week for each city. Strange to see Kommotion on ATN7. I thought that was recorded at ATV0.

Looking at those TV station addresses and phone numbers (“Sale 34” for ABC Gippsland) and GTV9 is still using what’s essentially the same telephone number as it was in 1964. 42 0201, which has only changed in line with expanding digits: 429 0201 and now 9429 0201.

I remember that brief period when Ten showed episodes of Pokémon on Saturday night.

Thanks for the post.

I forgot that the ABC aired the wedding of Prince Edward and Sophie.

Nice seeing “Sports Saturday” on Nine. Saturdays on Nine now during the day are reality repeats and/or “cheap” lifestyle shows.

And good seeing the Late News and Sports Tonight on Ten, on a Saturday night too.

I was up at Ayers Rock that day in 1999, on a Year 11 school trip to Central Australia, we climbed Ayers Rock that day.

We were allowed a little TV viewing in the camping ground we stayed at, so watched the Brisbane vs Essendon match on the Seven affiliate up there and also got a taste of Imparja. Some were upset they could not see the Collingwood highlights as it was after lights out.
