Further to my post last week, these might just jog some of your memories…:
More RTM shows Simon Does Not Miss From the 80’s:
- Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah. (or its English version, This Day in History)
- Those ‘informative’ short segments by Filem Negara Malaysia where they teach you how they make things, like wau (kite), statue of a parrot, gasing, etc.
- Falcon Crest. (Seemed like it went on and on and on…)
- Paint Along with Nancy. (Actually this one was quite good. She paints with a spatula!)
- Sapphire & Steel (What on earth is going on?!)
- Empat Sekawan (Don’t get me started on this one…)
- TV Pendidikan English Language shows featuring Bing and Bong! (and later Brogg.)
- Rasa Sayang. Comes on every festival holiday in the morning. You have Rasa Sayang Aidifitri, Rasa Sayang Tahun Baru Cina, Rasa Sayang Deepavali, etc. What’s it about? Never mind…
- Any TV show featuring A.R. Badul, Jamali Shadat or Hamid Ghurka.
- Peyton Place.

i used to like all the Sang Kancil cartoons RTM used to make. the animation was crappy, but at least you got to see the Sang Kancil stories on the TV. 🙂
Belacan
i missed Combat!
Lucia Lai
er… peyton place in the 80s? i thought it is much older than that. 70s or even 60s. it was one of the earliest soap opera on tv.
falcon crest. yes i remember the female fatale there was morgan fairchild, right?
what about the most famous soap opera (well at that time) – dallas? what era was it in?
Viking054

Don’t forget the “Moral” shorts, ie, the Sang Kancil and the starving Monyet, the Arnab and the kura-kura, The Kancil and the Buayas…
