Unforgettable classic TV songs.

waaaaaah laaaaaaan eeeeeeeh !


looks like we have a lot of old farts here ah !

We are not that old. The late 70s and 80s were a time where TV shows and pop music were of a very high standard as compared to today.

At that time, Taiwan was still until Martial Law (I think) cos of tension with Mainland China and under heavy censorship controlled by the KMT gov. They were not allowed violence and sword fighting scenes limited to a few mins allocation for certain hours show or something like that. That is why they always talk and pull sword halfway then put back when someone comes along to stop them. Limited sword fighting scene allowed by the KMT at that time. That's why gov control censorship fucked up creativity.

my father used to tell me this with laughs. exactly like you described - "they always talk and pull sword halfway then put back..." but my father never explained to me the KMT censorship. he said they too lazy to have the fighting scenes, weird script... :D

How can you forget this classic : 萬水千山縱橫 (1982年電視劇《天龍八部之虛竹傳奇》主題曲) .
 
In my opinion 梁家仁 was the perfect 乔峰 and the 黄杏秀 was the perfect 阿朱 in 天龙八步. The later remakes suck in comparison.
 
Before SBC8 rolled out the local dramas, i pretty much grew up on these

Back in those days, the HK dramas shown on RTS was in Cantonese until fucking LKY's speak Mandarin Campaign in the 80s and had it all dubbed in lousy Mandarin.

Yup. No other actor comes close to 梁家仁 as 乔峰. Before I up lorry, I must read 天龙八步 one more time.

石修 was also the epitome 慕容复. For some strange reason in those days the artistes fit their roles perfectly like fingers fit a glove.

Nowadays TVB produce nothing but shit with pretty faces that can't act, a far cry from the good old days.

And 關正傑 always get to sing these great songs by 黃霑 and 顾嘉辉.

Couldn't agree more. I also like the fantastic supporting cast in 射雕英雄传。that 东邪西毒南帝北丐中神通 is simply perfect.
 
No shit! It's him? knn he look like a typical taiwanese politician. Yes 保镖 serial is like damn 长气, worst is they promise to come back after 3 years to fight again.

I thought 保镖 was eventually terminated prematurely on our local channel because of its length.
 
The Greatest American Hero, Perfect Strangers, The Love Boat, The Brady Bunch, Moonlighting, etc..

One of the most memorable was the Hawaii Five O theme song. How about Wild Wild West, The Invaders and The Avengers (not the Marvel superheroes)?

Watch until vomit blood. Want to fight but never fight. Swordsmen talk cock talk until I fall asleep.

I especially love 周伯通 played wonderfully by the fatso actor 秦煌 instead of the young 黎耀祥 acting old and cute in the latter version. Totally din buy that.

That was the era of 顾嘉辉 and 刘家昌 as the two brilliant composers in Hongkong and Taiwan respectively at that time.
