"Herzlich willkommen bei retro-tv!"
—Paddy
Retro-tv is a German video blog, hosted by Henning Harperath and Paddy Kroetz, existing since 2009.
It usually begins with Henning and Paddy opening an old (the range so far has been from The '60s to the early Nineties) volume of the German tv magazine Hörzu and looking up what tv had to offer on a specific day, decades in the past. They pick out three different shows to review, by first showing a bit of footage of it, and then talking about it. It caters to nostalgia of course, but is also very interesting if you want to know what (West German) TV was like long before you were born.note

(sorry, only in German).
Retro-tv has examples of:
- German Media: German tv history is this vlog's theme. While the hosts also review lots of imported dubbed stuff, they also feature old shows originating from Germany, many of them very obscure today.
- Gushing About Shows You Like: Many of the shows Henning and Paddy review here, were seen by at least one of them in his own childhood.
- Unlimited Wardrobe: Henning and Paddy always wear t-shirts with pop-culture Shout Outs, different ones in every episode. Most of the time though, the shirts have no connection to the specific tv shows they are reviewing in the respective episode.
