Yeah, GMTV was the bomb back in the day. Sadly it no longer exists, it ceased operating in 2010, and PR now airs on Channel 5 on normal tv

Wouldve been cool to have that here

GMTV was basicly a UK version of "Good Morning America" and all those other current affairs shows you see on news channels etc, the big difference between GMTV and them were they had awesome kids shows (though this was also practiced by GMTV's predecessor TV-AM)

GMTV used to show stuff like Power Rangers and other shows like Jewel Riders and Beast Wars on regular weekdays, holiday weekedays, and weekends, but they gradually phased out the weekday/holiday showings and restricted everything to the weekends, leaving us more or less with an average breakfast tv service. Not really something to write home about.

So it could be compared to YTV's The Zone and even the CW Vortex?

For the weekend stuff, definatly. We eventually got a brand name for it after a few years of the block being nameless, first "Diggit" (later "Diggin It") and then "Toonattik", the latter outlasted GMTV by a few months before it ended in 2011, nowadays the block is called "CITV" (to reflect the fact ITV control the block, the "C" stands for "Childrens")

GMTV had control of the hours 6:00-9:25, and then ITV would take over for the remainder of the day. They also had their own kids blocks in the form of Saturday morning variety shows like "Motormouth", "Ghost Train", "What's Up Doc" etc...but the peak of them was "SM:TV". When that died, so did any real effort to make the variety shows entertaining. After a few unmemorable shows came and went, ITV quietly dropped them altogether in 2006.

That's pretty cool for sure. I like the CW Vortex (4kids was also good), and I loved YTVs The Zone, when it was The After School Zone of the mid-late 90s. Course the old Saturday morning lineups of yesteryear on CBS, and ABC rocked. But nothing like what you guys had over there

stapeanc · 09-04-2012, 02:23 AM

Yeah old series are own Vortexx/CW and Samurai/Super Samurai soon to be Mega Force are on Nick. Plus with the Release of all episodes through lost galaxy now.

stapeanc · 09-04-2012, 02:24 AM

Can't wait for actually the 2014 Season with the adaptation of the gokaiger series.

*Hero* · 09-04-2012, 03:25 PM

i preferred TV:AM to GMTV. Either were better than Daybreak by a golden mile anyhow

In the US, they've got seven more to go. France has six more to go. Latin American countries just burned through them the past couple of weeks.

Looks like 2013's Sentai will be dino-themed again. We won't get that adapted until years afterwards though with the schedule we've currently got (2013/2014 is Megaforce, 2015 will be Gobuster, no idea if 2016 will be Gobuster, there's been speculation new PR will shift to the Vortexx in 2015), still, 2017 will be the 25th anniversary of PR, and having a dino-themed season would a good hook for that kind of milestone.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 09-07-2012, 01:26 AM

Indeed! Would love the Dino theme again! So much to look forward to

Power Rangers started in 1993, so wouldn't 2018 be the 25th anniversary of PR?

I thought some of you might find this amusing. I was at a Comic Convention this weekend and on Friday I was passing by the Stage that Eyeshine would later perform on, but at the time they were there sound checking. One of my friends yelled "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" at the stage, to which Johnny Yong Bosch responded "Did someone ask what time it is? 'Cause I could swear that it's morphin time!" And him and his band then played the Power Rangers theme for us.
