Sky G(One)

Sky One is to close 20 years after it ceased to be relevant. It's being superseded by two new channels both of which are, if we're honest, too little far too late. If anything Sky Living was what Sky One was in the past few years, back before it became Sky Witless, but, as I grew up watching Sky its time for some memories, that I've probably aired before.

The DJ Kat show

With cool cat, DJ Kat, and Rod Hull's daughter it was an excuse to play a load of obscure and cheap cartoons such as the English version of Spoon Obasasn, and the full version of Super Mario Bros Super Show with Lou Albarno. Later gained a mouse puppet called Yummi Ticklemouse.

Card Sharps / Concentration / Jeopardy / Press Your Luck

American Gameshows were an early staple of Sky, Card Sharps is just a Rebranded Play Your  Cards Right with Bob Eubanks  rather than good ol' Brucie. Jeopardy is the Paul Coia version which no one remembers.

In Living Color.

Comedy show with the Wayans brothers and a little known comic called Jim Carrey. I wonder if he ever made it big? 

The Simpsons.

6:30 on a Sunday night, where you could watch the greatest show of all time, So much good writing and probably shaped me more as a person than anything else save Beavis and Butthead.

The X Files.

Never cared about the big two sci fi series Stars Trek and Wars. This was my jam with a strong female lead and Mulder who just didn't give two fucks. The show ended with season 9 as did any relevancy that Sky One was going to be decent again.

Fun Factory.

The weekend equivalent to the DJ Kat show, this was a cartoon block presented in the early days by Crocker the Crocodile and Snook the Seal. Later would scrap them entirely and just play decent cartoons such as Fox's Peter Pan and Ultraman.

Pokemon and Yu gi oh!

What you don't realize is that Sky One was the home of Pokemon from about 1999 onwards, Yu-gi-oh! was the final gasp of the weekend cartoon covering all the way up to the Darts / Eye of Timaeus story arc before it withered and died.

There was a few more things that I should mention, such as the original Flash series and Stargate airing but I think that was Sky 2 of all things.

Edit totally forgot about ALF and Sale of The Century, both mainstays of early Sky.
