CITV 1992 Introductions to The Sooty Show

[shermanvermin76]

boffinme80 still hasn't said anything after the last two things I said, that I was telling him I feel sorry for him that he misses the old Sooty and hates the *newer* incarnations of him, and that I asked what he *wanted* me to say.

Anyway, *did* The Sooty Show changing to 'Sooty and Co' in 1993 and Rainbow having a new version in 1994 have anything to do with Thames changing to Carlton? I know boffinme80 will tell me that TVS and Thames were *irrelevant*, as *most* users have told me.

@shermanvermin76 Thames Television simply lost its ITV license and was 'replace' by Carlton. There was no studio to produce the shows and those long running brands were cancelled or move to another ITV company. Rainbow came to an natural end and relaunching Sooty as 'Sooty and Co' was a smart move.

Plus please keep this chat you and @boffinme80 nice or I will remove comments. Be thankful CITV still has a place on ITV1 even if its only 6.00am to 9.25am on Weekends and a whole channel on Freeview

[shermanvermin76]

boffinme80, I was only *sympathising* that you miss the *original* Sooty and find the *newer* version *rubbish* (which it *is*)

[jaffaps2]

that shirt makes me wanna vomit all over this weeks issue of zzapp! Notice how calm he is, now alls they do is shout their faces off into a camera while standing up, usually in a big open space.

You're so right jaffaps2, all the presenters do nowadays is scream at kids and chat absolute shit for hours, kids TV has gone downhill so badly since the days of good old Sooty and Sweep! :(

[boffinme80]

@gherkins345 Not just that but they don't care what anyone has to say anymore. Every Christmas ITV would always put on the Sooty Show Christmas Panto Special and it hadn't been on recently and everyone wanted it on and the stupid new presenters didn't care and wouldn't put it back on. It's like a Christmas without The Snowman. The new presenters on ITV are selfish inconsiderate little bastards. I wish the old ones never went. >:(

[shermanvermin76]

@boffinme80 Yes 'The Sooty Show' which debuted since 1952 ended at the beginning of 1993 (after it was forty years old) and was changed in 1993 to 'Sooty and Co' because of Thames (debuted since Monday the 29th of July 1968) changing to Carlton at the beginning of 1993 when the franchise was twenty-five years old; this is why TVS (Television South) additionally ended at the beginning of 1993, and why the Tina VS Andrew Catchphrase episode (aired Saturday October 24 1992

[boffinme80]

@shermanvermin76 What the hell has that got to do with what I just said?? Stop going off at a tangent!

[shermanvermin76]

(comment continued) @boffinme80 was the *last* episode of the *TVS* version of Catchphrase); TVS becoming just a memory by the beginning of 1993 because of when Thames was changed to Carlton by then is why Catchphrase had a new appearance, theme tune and logo since Friday the 30th of September 1994.

TVS becoming just a memory because of Thames changing to Carlton at the beginning of 1993 is why, at the *same* period (triple Ts!), TV-am was no longer on TV, and *GMTV* was now on

[boffinme80]

@shermanvermin76 If you're going to speak to me, stick to the bloody subject! I don't fucking care when Sooty was broadcast or the Catchphrase episodes! I was replying to someone about TV today and you give me such irrelevant details! I.Don't.Fucking.Care! Okay?? I love Sooty but your weirdo drabble is driving me crazy!

[shermanvermin76]

(*third* comment!) @boffinme80 The Sooty Show becoming Sooty and Co, Catchphrase being changed from being owned by TVS to Carlton, TV-am changing to GMTV and, most of all, Thames changing to Carlton, is additionally why the *original* version of 'Rainbow' (debuted in 1972) ended at the beginning of 1993, when it was just after turning twenty, and why it had a *rubbish* *new* version 'Rainbow *Days*' in 1994, with no *Geoffrey* for goodness sake,

[shermanvermin76]

(*fourth* comment!) @boffinme80 and, in *place* of Geoffrey Hayes, they had a *ridiculous* light blue rabbit called 'Cleo'.

[boffinme80]

@shermanvermin76 I DON'T FUCKING CARE!!!! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

[shermanvermin76]

@boffinme80 What's worse, you remember, after Sunday the 27th of October 2002, LWT, when it was thirty-four years old, was just a memory since its debut on Friday 2nd August 1968.

[boffinme80]

@shermanvermin76 I'm reporting you for harrassment!!

[shermanvermin76]

@boffinme80 So what *did* you want me to say?
