6:00 Oh man that one hits me hard,I feel sad when this is played all I remember is this was the 2 theme when I was a kid...I just want to go back sometimes :(
Holy shit. Looking back on this it doesnt seem THAT long ago i was watching these. Time goes fast in hind-sight. Imo tv2 program quality started going down hill after the introduction of tv 3 in november '89. There was much better programs and movies on when we only had 2 channels. Now look, we have 12 plus channels (freeview) and there is never anything worth watching anymore. Cooking shows, renovation shows, "reality" shows - nah its all shit now imo. Thats why i mainly watch old movies and tv series on youtube.
It's the third and fourth ones that i remember from my year in New Zealand, 1993 and 1994. Much different from what was going on in the UK with a unified ITV branding.
@mikeyfreaklover ive got a full length video ident of the TV2 bus and it went for a few minutes in length, still got it on a VHS tape, i dont have a video capture card on my PC though, would love to copy it over, it shows a tv2 badge and them getting the old bus out of storage before restoration. really cool clip and i doubt many people have it.
the second one was originally used by ABC America in 1977. 1 year later Nine Network in Australia used it until 2006. and btw also that "it takes 2" jingle was later used in the UK in 1998 by ITV2. basically based on a song i think..............
Notice how everything was much brighter and more colourful? And in the latest idents it's all much darker and greyer, from the atmosphere to the people wearing drab clothes.
Ya missed one circa 1988 - Network Two with the blue, pink and purple background with translucent squares. That one didn't last long. It's here on You Tube too.
@mikeshearer1250 Yea that is true. I'm sure alot of people would be anoyed if it got destroyed. It's kiwi icon from the 80s and 90s. I would love to see it moving again. That would be so cool.
oh man the one @ 4:21 made me want to kill myself and then there was the one @ 5:50 which they always played before "WCW Nitro" which pissed me the fuck off coz i just sat through an hour of "Renegade"
Ed Jones lol ow c'mon renegade was not that bad, and the Racist stereotype that was Bobby six killer had style. also earth2 was a scifi show On the hour before larenzo lamar was renegade remember? poppet?
+da5idnz Yeah, and with ads how people say they're longer than before I've compared ads on a tape from 1996 and now and they're the same length on average from them and now.
I have also compared ads from 1988-2008 and they have been essentially the same length the whole time, they were around 3 min in the late 80s and moved to an average of 4 minutes from then on. I dont think you see indents any more as much, as the time is more valuable in other advertising
First one is about 1985, even with the cheezy disco vocals, the next is so 1991 its not true with hype style flouro graphics. Next one is very 1992/93, next one 1995/96 then about 1997/98, then still in 1998 and greenbus was a late 1999 campaign when the colourful zamboanga Marise Wipani type cool colour burst of the late 1990s was popular.Last 3 I don't really know as I stopped watching free to air TV around 2001.
When the nostalgia hits so hard it hurts
R.I.P to that crooning country opera singer at 5:11
6:00 Oh man that one hits me hard,I feel sad when this is played all I remember is this was the 2 theme when I was a kid...I just want to go back sometimes :(
I remember watching most of these watching Shortland Street back in the day.
SO NOSTALGIC!
Always great to see new old Simpsons material that I never knew existed!

It seemed fine to me until I moved to the USA in 2010. Upon coming back in 2013 everything just seemed shit.
Chris. G fucking reality tv shows are fuckimg shit
Hardly reality they are all scripted to some degree
i wasnt around back in those times, but i do agree with you, i am more entertained by television from before 2000
So many good memories are coming back, thanks for that!
AWESOME!!! I remember all of them except for the 1 st 1. Good times!!! Thanks for posting this up :)
Remember when that bus came to my school and out walked the old what now presenters I even hoped on the bus it was so cool
Yes! Finally found the ad that I called "The flying around the room ad" when I was a kid! (1.53)
When you realise life was better when you were a kid and these flippin ads would come on😩😩😩

I didn't grow up with these. I was born is 06' so I never saw these on TV. I know a lot about TV back then though
Great watch thank you

the old idents from the late 80's and early 90s were the best.
the second one was originally used by ABC America in 1977. 1 year later Nine Network in Australia used it until 2006. and btw also that "it takes 2" jingle was later used in the UK in 1998 by ITV2. basically based on a song i think..............

I don't think TV2 has an ident now, does it? I don't think people have the patience for it.
+da5idnz Yeah, and with ads how people say they're longer than before I've compared ads on a tape from 1996 and now and they're the same length on average from them and now.

Just...terrible,the "Ive got 2 babe" and "In the neighbourhood" ones.
