Cheez TV (blast from the past)

[captainwillies]

if you are not an australian of atleast +15 years please leave.

does anyone remember that crazy show that always had us up at 7:00am in the mornings getting us ready to watch technoman, transformers, dragonballz, pokemon, digimon and does anyone remember that crazy show about "giant ninja robots from another dimension?" (no i didnt just make that up and its not gundam...although i think they did have gundam up for a couple of episodes). anyone? no? yes? kind of?

well what are your memories of that show?



and who was your favourite host? mine was "Ryan", he was hilarious when he did those gardener skits

EDIT: mew mew *tear* R.I.P. Cheez T.V. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cFKT6hJxvs

Yes, yes I do. It was awesome. Sadly I can't remember the hosts names, but I thought they were highly, highly underrated, they totally should have picked up a Logie or two. I watched for Pokemon and Digimon, Dragon Ball Z kinda lost me. In some ways I wish it was still on, it helped me get to school on time so often.

Aah good times. The best reason not to sleep in!

 

[Beefcakes]

Ah The good old days, although I did get fairly annoyed when I had to leave half way through Dragon Ball Z to get to school, and had to guess what happen in the second half...
Now-a-days its 'Toasted TV' or some business, but it will never be the same...
I remember the guy that used to come on and draw funny looking people
And I will carry that little Cheeze TV tune till the day I die

 

[Lord Krunk]

Yes, I remember those zany role-plays with "A love story set in a caravan park" and whatnot.

Loved it.

But then they replaced it with "Toasted TV," which brings it down to the level of Saturday Disney.

Ugh.

EDIT: When I began to need to leave early for school, I decided to tape it. So I can honestly say, Cheez TV taught me how to program a VHS.

*sings* Cheeze Tv...

God that show was good. Some of the stuff they said back then was highly adult fr such a childhood audience on hindsight.

But I got the goods from them, all the morning cartoons: DBZ, X-Men, Captain Planet, SpongeBob.
Why did you die!?!

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

I remember cheez tv, but can't remember the show. and didn't that guy off of channel V used to be on it.

Maybe just someone who looked like him.

yeah the wikipedia entry says jade made a character in skit called "Dick Wadd". and on top of that Ryan continually slipt anti-rove talk into his segments so thats probably one reason it was cancelled. Ahh good times.

Nickelodeon.

I know. We traded good tv for something best described as painful/evil.

 

[Hey Joe]

Cheez TV, ahh the good old days on weekends before I trudged off to cricket or before school. I think the change had to happen because the hosts were in a catch-22. They were too synonymous with the program to be changed, but they were too old to continue hosing a kids TV show.

Toasted sucks many a ball and should be burnt. I base this on absolutely nothing as I have never seen a show.

HOORAY FOR THE INTERWEB!

i've gone back and watched a couple of episodes for nostalga's sake and i can tell your absolutely right. execpt the word i would use would be "pathetic".

Bring Jade and Ryan BACK!!!

 

[hughball]

I couldn't stand the hosts ever......

 

[Eyclonus]

Toasted TV is an insult to its memory.

deffinitely :3

Cheeze TV, woohooo! Doodeedoodeedoodeleedoodelydoo.
Mark the Sound Man... *sniff*
My only problems with that show were that:
a)They kept showing the SAME goddamn episodes of Dragonball Z.
b)They took off the coolest shows sometimes and replaced them with absolute garbage (why would you replace TMNT with Cardcaptors? WHY?! Or some similar change.)

Toasted TV is terrible. Bloody terrible. Sometimes unfounded opinions are also, coincidentally, bang on the money.

Bring Jade and Ryan BACK!!!

There's an e-petition for that.

 

[captainwillies]

my GOD does anyone remember "Croaching Tiger Squatting Peacock"? that was pure gold.

Crouching Tiger Squatting Peacock is my favorite skit from them ever. Also, Jade and Ryan both felt they were getting too old for the show. They were canceled, but they wouldn't have kept the show going much longer anyway.

Toast, Burnt, I see what you did there.

I used to love Cheez TV. I started getting up at half past six to make sure I didn't miss it. I agree with Saskwach though. They always replaced the good shows with crappy stuff.

I think I cried a little when they took Spongebob off.

Dude cheez TV had SHAWN MICHEALS in his only australian television appearance. He had Ryan Lappin in a headlock for most of the show!
