Button Moon (1980)
Great!
Yes this was a great TV show back from the 1980s, shame it hasn't been on TV for almost 17 years now. It was broadcast on the ITV network (would have been Thames for me as I lived In London back then and that was the company that ran ITV for that region of the UK) & every show ran for 10 minutes. Kids today would probably love this Button Moon show much as we did back then. A great show ! Button Moon in it's "Blanket Sky". I remember the classic song that opened and ended the show and sang along with it on every show when I was a kid. "We're off to Button Moon, Follow Mr. Spoon, Button Moon, Button Moon. We're off to Button Moon, Follow Mr. Spoon, Button Moon, Button Moon. Button Mo-----------------on. Button Moon, Be Back Soon, Button Moon." Ah, memories!
The Ropers (1979)
Ropers
The Ropers was a remake of the English TV show "George and Mildred", which itself was a spin-off of "Man About The House" (the English Television show that was remade in the USA as "Three's Company"). I have yet to the the American version of "George And Mildred", or as it is called in the USA "The Ropers", mainly because it wasn't that big of a hit (though it did run for two seasons). Unlike the UK original which was a huge success. However, I have seen both "Man About The House" and it's American re-make "Three's Company" (as I now reside in the USA). I have to say I prefer the original, but still love the US version too. John Ritter is one of my favorite actors. Anyway, I'll have to look out for reruns of "the ropers".
