soooooooo good, 27 November 2003
Author: jillski from sydney, australia

lately i have become extremely nostalgic about all those old abc shows i grew up on. press gang, degrassi, grange hill etc. tv just aint the same these day eh!anyway i digress...

i can't give enough praise to press gang, but most of it has already been said so i just wanna add that the quality of PG was just unbelievably amazing. i loved the way it was so intelligent and could successfully make you laugh and cry. the gunman episode for example. superb actors and actresses. i can't seem to be able to string a sentence together at the moment but yeah it was the best. i hope they put reruns back on soon.
