I love The Tomorrow People. It was a super dark show (even the theme song was dark), but sadly that's not the show I am after as I have seen the Tomorrow people recently :(
Oh yeah, I saw tons of his hammer work. I love hammer. The sets were beautiful, the women were gorgeous, and they had Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in almost every film- what's not to like. Granted they were cheesy as hell, but in a good way.
if done right this could be good. I (like you) have often thought about everything that the movie left out too. It would need to be two or three parts though. And I would like for them to use practical effects. CGI just doesn't look real. It looks like a video game (have you seen the star wars Prequels recently? They look more dated then the original films). But to be honest I just don't think this will be good. It will have either have gore for the sake or gore (see evil dead remake) or it will be too cartoony.
I never saw that one. I saw wolf with Jack Nicholson and I thought that that one was pretty bad. Shame cause Jack was a badass actor in just about everything that he ever did. The old horror films were so much better than the modern remakes (I did dig a lot of the Hammer remakes though-those were fun). I wish that hollywood would stop already, but I know that they won't.
I agree. The original has become a classic. I don't think that I have ever met any adult who has never seen it. Hollywood is just bankrupt creatively. It's what i stopped watching new movies and tv series around ten years ago- nothing new.
which remake are you talking about? An American Werewolf in london?

Wpix still shows it on Christmas. It was on last year. And technically WNEW
still exist, but it has some kind of regional agreement to air Fox broadcasting
in the tristate area. I think WOR still exists too, but I will have to check on
that. Still, all of these stations are a pale almost nonexistent shadow of what
they once were- especially around the holidays.

When I was a kid, the 1934 version of Babes in Toyland was shown Christmas
morning every year. Sad that they've changed it to a Thanksgiving movie, sort
of ruins it for me. Thanksgiving was the parade, then movies in the afternoon
until they were userped by football. Born in '56, I don't remember WABD, but
the early days of WNEW are still fresh in my mind, unlike where I left my car
keys.

I can't believe they have stuff just lying in a vault and it is still on Beta!
I am a part of a website that preserves old television footage. The site has
thousands of old television shows and movies. A lot of them even include the
original commercials. I wish I could get into that vault and preserve what they
have. Sadly it is probably just rotting. Such a shame.

Those shows you mentioned were all shows my parents talked fondly about. Thank
goodness for YouTube because I can actually see what was so great about those
classic shows.

I haven't lived in NYC for many years but up until 1958, I remember channel 5
as WABD and was strictly local with shows like Bugs Bunny Presents, a local
Rock n' Roll teenage dance show called Studio Parlor and a late night old movie
show "Rickey Tickey Playhouse". When it changed to WNEW in 1958, along came
Romper Room, the Sandy Becker Show, and Wonderama. Folks here probably never
heard of these programs they were happy memories of my childhood.

I only knew of a lot of those a shows coming on WPIX, WWOR and WNEW because of
my father who talked a lot about the old days TV in NYC. He talked very fondly
of Chuck McCann and "Let's Have Fun," Officer Joe Bolton and The Three Stooges,
Soupy Sales and others who used to have programs on the network. Back in 2008,
they did a special celebrating 60 years of WPIX and it was decent but I can tell
they were missing a lot more shows.
Now, I know "Soul Train" came on WPIX but did it also come on WNEW?

Cool. I see they updated their playlists after I moved away.
Also I can't believe I forgot about My 3 Sons, The Honeymooners, the 3 Stooges,
The Little Rascals and The Rifleman. I'm going to edit my list again.

I was born in the late 1980's but I remember when WPIX was still WPIX 11,
and the only shows from that list they still showed when I was young were
"Star Trek" 1966-69, which came on every 4th of July, "Twilight Zone" which
came on, on New Years and later "The Honeymooners", "Batman" and "Happy Days"
which still came on in the afternoon time. It was WPIX where I discovered these
shows and my parents had cable before I was even born! My guess is the reason
they still aired on those channels even after Nick @ Nite was in full force was
because they had very high ratings.
In the 1990's the sitcoms that were in syndication but still making episodes
that came on WPIX were shows like,
Family Matters
A Different World
Fresh Prince
Wonder Years
Doogie Howser, MD
Growing Pains
The Hogan Family
Full House
WNYW which was formerly WNEW up until 1986 was when I discovered
"All in the Family" they showed it on weekends during the 1990's.
My guess was only Saturday's since football was on, on Sunday's. I
even have a few old tapes that have footage from WNEW from around 1986,
and a Three Stooges marathon from Thanksgiving 1987 from WPIX.
Hey, who on here remembers "Chiller Theater" on Saturday nights?

Since we are talking about WOR and WPIX, I want to post a list of all the shows
I watched in reruns on those 2 stations and channel 5 (forgot network letters)
growing up back in the 70's and 80's.

showed over and over. I can still remember the commercials.

There isn't much going on at the WWOR from what I was told, especially
since the news department closed down operation in 2013. But when I was there,
I seen programs that dated back to around 1984 maybe a little bit farther back,
I wish I had the opportunity to have watched more footage, usually I just went
in there to find news footage. And a lot of those tapes were on BETA.

WOR is still a regional station right? I'd love to see what they have locked
up in their vaults. It is so disappointing that on Holidays like Thanksgiving
all they play is crap. It's literally crap. Every year I turn on WOR for a
moment and check their schedule for the day and it's always the most
unspectacular television listing imaginable. It is as if it is just another
day to the television programmers.
I have an original 198 WOR airing of King Kong (complete with commercials)that
I watch every year on Thanksgiving.
