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.

Ah, I forgot Power Without Glory. Good memory!
