Miss ya 1980s. If you could see 2021 yesterday, you'd be appalled. The year's since have not been so kind to us. It's getting worse. Thank you for the memories and the best year's of my life. Born 1976 here, take care people.
here's to 40 years of What Now being our home of kids tv since 1981 and all that games gags and gunge and foam competitions with prizes galore and every presenter past present and future
40 years young and still going strong.
@@KiwiRetro amen to that KiwiRetro
Catherine McPherson's giant, gravity-defying mullet was a thing of legend. Loved that show, though it went downhill a bit after Frank Flash left.
I remember hearing that countdown and racing to finish making my bowl of cereal so I could plonk myself down in front of the TV in time for the start of the show... Ahhhh, Saturday mornings were the BEST!
Ah yes Thundercats before it got canceled from What Now for being too violent. xD wtf
Simon with his Simon Le Bon inspired hair. Classic. Also, "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats hooooooooooo......!!". Many happy times indeed.
Oh man, it doesn't seem like 30+ yrs ago already. I was born in 1980 and remember so many awesome shows we had then, even with only 2 channels pre-'89 it was good. And What Now, well they sure gave sweet prizes back then.... even the runner-up got something cool. What do they get now, a bottle of gunge.
I won a Bill Direen album from _What Now_ in about 1986. You had to name 10 song titles with animals in them. My list included _I Wanna be your Dog_ by the Stooges.
Gosh I miss those days! These guys were the best presenters ever!
SamsNoodle IsaCat to be honest I’ve never actually met them
Nicholas Win to be honest you don't have to.
do you possibly have any what now recordings from the early 2000s? been trying to find a clip of the opening sequence and song from that period
michelle a'court and catherine mcpherson
Thunder Cats, Dungeon and Dragons, Banana Man and Inspector Gadjet were my favourites on the show. Think there was one other cartoon I liked, can't remember the name of it though.
Oh and on Sunday mornings I think I woke up to watch Fragile Rock or the Muppet Show, maybe it was both?
Thanks to What Now that Matt Bianco song is still what I will often use to annoy and wake my partner up when she sleeps in but needs to get up for the day.
woah, what a trip down memory lane watching this intro!
lol they did not even have an 0800 number back then!
I've sang this in my head a lot over the years
You’re lucky. I often sing this out loud and people give me a funny look.
I use to wake up and watch what now just to watch dungeons & dragons
This show was designed for parents to sleep in on a Saturday
My mom loved this show back in the 80s
Candle. Wheres my prize.
Just saw Michele A'Court on Brokenwood Mysteries and had to watch a bit of What Now!
I sure would’ve loved to have met Michelle A’court Catherine Macpherson and Simon Barnett
What happen to Catherine?
Love the show when growing up,also use to play guess who all the time
love this show but Kath was my fav
Does anyone remember the one at the end, where Frank was driving out of the car lot, missed the curve and Danny dropped the F bomb on air?
Ahhhh memories, good times!
Wow!! Can’t believe that was back in the 80’s... sure does feel like more than 20 years ago!!!
It was on One?!
What Now was on TV ONE up until the end of 1989 and I should also point out was on Saturday morning until the mid 90s.
All Kids cartoons were on TV ONE until the start of 1987 and then weekday kids shows such as After School moved to TV2 in February 1987. Saturday and Sunday kids shows remained on TV ONE until the end of 1989 coinciding with the launch of TV3.
may just be me, not a critiscm does the theme intro have a similar sound to The Wiggles "Get Ready to Wiggle"? wow look how young Simon Barnett looks
that was animated.... on.... paper... pain
The hair
Awwww cool I watch what now in 2021 😁 tbh that’s really cool btw did it start at 8?
Who else misses Flash Gordon, Clive Grumble and the rest?
Thanks 👍👍👍
The HAIR !!!
Daaaaaaaaaam memories haaaard
I'm guessing this is about 1987.
Yes. I seem to remember it always being on TV2!
Ah must be before 1989 before it moved to TV2. This is evident from the One logo, as well as ThunderCats, which was still a kids craze at the time.
Damn
It the leaky house situation in Auckland
ive been trying to find this song, anyone one who the artist is?
The song is called 'Get Out of Your Lazy Bed' and was recorded by a British group called Matt Bianco.
thanks :-)
Any one from Konini Priamary School, west Auckland here??
p.s this is the shit hard.....Love it.
Lol try getting nostalgic with these throw backs and classics with a Phat Joint and see where you go!..
Puts me there in that moment, on that couch, with that glass of hot Milo in one hand and Optimus Prime in other, like i was there again.
Thats me anyways lol.
Are these archived anywhere?
I'm sure TVNZ has an archive of it, they should release all these classics.
@@KiwiRetro that would be great. I'd love to buy all the episodes
