What show(s) do you miss?

[Mulv]

I'm at work. None of my sources are calling me back. I'm bored. So, that being the case, I thought I would add a new thread to the mix. I think it's pretty self-explanatory: What show or shows do you miss? They can be old favorites or shows that just recently got sh!t-canned. They can be popular favorites or obscure programs that only you and that weirdo from the AV Club remember.

Here, I'll go first. I miss Bands on the Run, The X-Files and...wait for it...Friends. Yep, that's right, I said Friends. Bring the hate.

[susanarosa]

Homicide:Life on the Street
Paradise Hotel
Boomtown
Kingpin

[jennilicious]

I cannot hate on Friends! I still cry every time I see that damn prom video/"he's her lobster" one.

X Files too (but not late seasons, I miss Mulder)
Freaks and Geeks
Arrested Development
Paradise Hotel or Temptation Island-I miss them both and I'd be happy to have either one back!!
Angel-I think it had finally hit its stride and gotten really good, then bam. gone.

[Firecat]

I was a huge Friends fan, but the latter seasons weren't as good as the first few.

I wish we could get new episodes of Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Fresh Prince. I miss my animated shows...like Spider-Man, X-men, Superman, and Batman

[Lizardqueen]

Seinfeld
Arrested Development
X-Files (with Fox Mulder ONLY, please)
Three's Company
Fawlty Towers
Absolutely Fabulous (I saw a few and it was fun)
321 Contact "Whenever there's trou-ble, we're there on the dou-ble. We're the Bloodhound Gang"
The Muppet Show (loved Gonzo on the Trumpet and Statler and Waldorf snarking on everybody)

[southernbelle]

Dead Like Me (this was like my favorite show ever!)
Arrested Development
Carnivale (another all time fave)
Firefly (!!)
My So-Called Life
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[derder]

I can't believe everyone didn't love Seinfeld as much as I did. I thought it would be number one on everyones list. If they had a Seinfeld channel, it would be on in my house 24/7.

[Firecat]

Are you a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm?

[derder]

The first three seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm were as smart as Seinfeld, I thought. But the last couple were pretty lame, I could barely watch.
Best Episode: Crazy Eyes Killa

[Mulv]

LQ & jennilicious - I agree about the X-Files. Once Mulder left, that show was dead to me.

Firecat - I agree. Friends took a turn for the worse around season 7 or 8. After Monica and Chandler got hitched and it was revealed that Rachel was knocked up - whenever that was.

Good call everyone who mentioned Arrested Development. I totally spaced and forgot to mention that. Although, did anyone else think this last season was not as good as the first two?

Does no one remember Bands on the Run?

[derder]

Name your top four episodes:
Mine are: (I don't necessarily know their correct titles)

The Puffy Shirt
The Jimmy (Mel Torme)
Fake, Fake, fake fake (Elaine faking it)
The Contest

[Ness]

Firefly
Arrested Devlopment
Angel
X-Files(of course only with my boy Fox)
Martin

Animated shows:
X-men
Batman
Captain Planet(yea thats right)
Doug(b4 gradution)
Smurfs

And plenty of other shows.

I agree about the first few seasons of curbs being better than the last, same goes for Arrested.

I can't isolate my favorite Seinfeld episodes, they were all classics. Have you seen the Puerto Rican day parade episode? I think it was pulled from airing again, but it's circulating the net.

[jelliepair]

Great thread!!

I miss Sex and the City, Carnivale, Dead like Me, Queer as Folk, Seinfeld, Friends, Just Shoot me (before Elliott was nutty), Homefront, Dynasty, Knotts Landing (am I showing my age?), Hill Street Blues, Cheers. I am sure there are more but I cant think of them now!

[jennilicious]

I didn't add Seinfeld to my list, because I don't miss it (god bless you, tnt!!) and I still get to see it almost every day. I don't think I could pick a favorite, there are so many that I love-the Chinese restaurant, Festivus, and Mulva come to mind.
Mulv, I do remember Bands on the Run, I think. Vh1 competition type show, right? I never really got that into it, but a Texas band (Flickerstick) either won it all or came in second. I only remember because they got some press around here.
and LOL jelliepair..I love Dynasty! It's still awesome

[gina64]

I miss

X-Files
Buffy
Firefly
Arrested Development
Frasier (the early years)

Soon to be missed: Alias

Thank God for seasons on DVD!
~g

[ElectraGlide]

I miss Sports Night, but yay! for DVDs. And I miss Sifl and Olly. Watching it on YouTube just isn't the same.

[angelic_shy_sweet_guy]

I miss Futurama, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Star Trek: TNG and Voyager, Friends, and Wintuition among others. I can understand ending the shows that actually had finales (not many fights are interesting with all the Potentials becoming Slayers, Angel was looking older and older when he was "supposed" to look the same age (although they could've made some excuse for that) and the question about Buffy would always be looming, the Treks had their standard 7 seasons, and Friends could only go so long before the people that liked the show would tire of it). I can't really blame GSN for dropping Wintuition (the gameplay wasn't too entertaining, but I liked the concept and there was a little eye candy for me :-P), but I blame Fox's horrid scheduling of Futurama for its undue end.

[brutal youth]

Don't know the actual episode names but...

A festivus for the rest of us!
bizarro jerry
the one where "if you answer the phone, you have to say Vandelay industries..."
and the SUMMER of GEORGE

I could watch the dvds nonstop

[zoobabe]

I miss Buffy, Freaks and Gekks, and Homefront.

My fave Seinfeld episode is the one with the hansom cab and the marble rye and Elaine and the sax player. I don't know the title, I just know the funny.

My fave Friends episode (Matthew Perry is my dream man btw) is the one with Ross and the leather pants and Phoebe teaching Joey to play the guitar.

[brutal youth]

freaks and geeks was great!

Anyone else miss old bbc shows like I do? I loved ab fab, fawlty towers, and a little show called red dwarf. Maybe it's just the "silly yank" affinity for british accents

[zoobabe]

so by- Does that mean that you love when Sean (Apprentice) calls people "wankers" too? I admit to an affinity for British accents.

[brutal youth]

No, I think that guy IS a wanker- but I guess that's what being stuck on a team with harpy Allie could do to you. When he was with the boys, not so bad. Anyone looks good next to Lee :)

[BDogg]

I miss Sex In The City.

Favorite Seinfeld epi - THE BRO...not sure if that was the title or not. :p

[Tabby Lavalamp]

Cop Rock and Manimal.

[Mulv]

Mulv, I do remember Bands on the Run, I think. Vh1 competition type show, right? I never really got that into it, but a Texas band (Flickerstick) either won it all or came in second. I only remember because they got some press around here.

Oh thank you jennilicious!! I'm glad someone else remembers it besides me, even if you weren't a fan.

I think I posted my feelings about this show in another thread somewhere on the board but I'll repeat myself. This show was awesome. It had everything: humor, pathos, music, relationships, love, friendship, competition. For my money, it's the best reality show I've ever seen. It was just so goddamned entertaing. Alas, it's not even available on DVD. It's really gone. Into the VH1 vault, maybe forever.

And yes, Flickerstick was the band that won and they are from Dallas/Ft. Worth. I actually thought they were a pretty good band too. Kinda U2ish but with some more indie influences. Actually, they still are a band. Their music is available on iTunes if anyone is curious. And no, I'm not a paid member of their publicity team.

Actually, that reminds me. Someone needs to start a what music do youlike thread. If no one else does it, I will, I guess.

Good call everyone who mentioned Freaks and Geeks. That show was gone well before it's time.

zoobabe - I forgot to ask before. Where in Texas are you? You didn't happen to get your zoology degree at UT Austin, did you?

[zoobabe]

zoobabe - I forgot to ask before. Where in Texas are you? You didn't happen to get your zoology degree at UT Austin, did you?

no- I got my degree in PA, where I was born and raised. I'm in the DFW area. I know Flickerstick (not personally, I just know that they are a popular band around here).

[deltoro]

I miss:

Dead Like Me (so funny)
Carnivale (loved the mystery)
Street Time (really liked James Liberti, plus Rob Morrow didn't suck)
Six Feet Under (I miss it the most!)

just to name a few....

[Mulv]

no- I got my degree in PA, where I was born and raised. I'm in the DFW area. I know Flickerstick (not personally, I just know that they are a popular band around here).

Oh, thanks zoobabe. Um, this is a little random and off topic but how do you like TX? I'm thinking about Austin for grad school. Everyone says it's a great, livable little city. Any thoughts? Other Texans feel free to jump in here, too.

[deltoro]

Mulv, both my sisters live in Austin, actually Pflugerville right outside of Austin, and they love the area. My youngest sister went to UT, Austin and highly recommends it. I grew up in TX and love all things Texan, so I try to get down that way as often as possible. The area has a lot to offer. It's definitely a place I want to move back to some day. It's hot as hell in the summer, though, so be prepared.

[brutal youth]

Mulv, I go to UT Austin- an awesome city to live in- live music, city life, and beautiful scenery all in one.

[ElectraGlide]

Oh, thanks zoobabe. Um, this is a little random and off topic but how do you like TX? I'm thinking about Austin for grad school. Everyone says it's a great, livable little city. Any thoughts? Other Texans feel free to jump in here, too.

Mulv, jumping on the Austin love train to say it is a great, livable little city. I love living here. And UT has top-notch graduate programs. The summer heat (and humidity) is brutal, but not a good enough reason to stay away!

[zoobabe]

Mulv- obviously you should listen to all the Austin residents here! I don't live in that part of Texas, but I've heard it's great as well. I lived in SC for 10 years before I moved here, and I definitely like it better here in TX. The heat in the summer IS incredible though (high utility bills for the AC), and I'll always pine for the snow and cold of good old Pittsburgh PA! I pretty much wear shorts to work year round (even when it's below 40 degress in the morning), and all my coworkers make fun of me- but compared to PA- 40 degrees is balmy!

[Mulv]

Thanks Texas contingent! There's more of you than I thought. I'm definitely considering UT Austin. It's either that or NYC for grad school. Well, I suppose, not going to grad school at all is another option, too. I'm just a little hesitant because I'm not much of a city person, but I hear Austin is very beautiful and has a great park system and lots of outdoor life.

Brutal Youth - If you don't mind me asking, what program are you in at UT? I'm considering the screenwriting program, in their Radio, Film and TV school, which I hear is AWESOME. Any thoughts?

Ok, back to TV talk after this. I don't mean to make you all my guidance counselors!

Anyone going to miss any of this year's departing shows? West Wing? Malcolm in the Middle? That 70s Show? Will & Grace? Joey? (Kidding! Just making sure you're paying attention.)

I used to like That 70s Show and Will & Grace until the writing starting sucking a few years back. I think I saw a preview that has Jackie ending up with Fez. WTF?

[derder]

Mulv-
I went to Texas Tech University (I was on scholarship or I never would have chosen it). Don't go there, seriously- LAME!!! It is like being transported back to the dustbowl era.
Austin is a fun town though- UT is a great school.

[zoobabe]

Nice avatar derder!:D

[deltoro]

While reading the DH recap on TVgasm, specifically the part about Edie and her Botox habit, I remembered I really miss watching Nip/Tuck.

**Just now saw the pic and reference of the 'large in charge' girl from Nip/Tuck on the DH recap. Still miss that show.**

[tvaholic]

A couple I saw others mention:
Boomtown
Homefront (zoobabe I can't believe anyone remembers this show! It's where I first fell for Kyle Chandler! Great show.)

Also:
Third Watch
China Beach
Roseanne


And everyone-please sign the online petition for Sons & Daughter's! It has to come back, it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen IMHO, right up there with Scrubs & The Office.

[zoobabe]

When Homefront was on I was totally addicted to it! I cried when I found out they cancelled it- I was so disappointed!

Kyle Chandler and I have almost the same exact birthday. He's exactly one year older.:)

[ElectraGlide]

Also:
Third Watch
China Beach
Roseanne

I haven't thought about China Beach in years! I had the biggest crush on Brian Wimmer when that show was on.

[ryan07]

Paradise Hotel(My favorite guilty pleasure)
Arrested Development
Futurama
Dark Angel

[tvaholic]

Yes, Boonie!! I think he started my thing I have for gus in uniform, although he usually walked around shirtless, which is totally ok with me. They used to have reruns on cable but I haven't seen it in a while.

I just can't believe nobody remembers "Married with Chidren", it was a really funny show.... i coudn't believe when it ended (there were no finale ep.).
I'm with all of you about "Seinfiled", R.I.P.
also, i kind of liked "Third Rock from the Sun".

[deltoro]

While flipping through the channels late last night I remembered another tv show that I miss watching. Roswell. I always thought that the actor who played Michael looked like a young man version of David Duchovny.

Ain't nothing wrong with a young David Duchovny.

You know what else I miss? Wings. I think I'm the only person who really, really liked that show. Everyone else just watched it because it came on before or after Cheers, but I really, really liked it. And I don't care how many Oscar nominations Thomas Hayden Church gets; to me, he will always be Lowell Mather.

MST3000 -- I haven't thought of that one in several years -- I can hear the theme music in my head even as I type this. Loved that show.
(Have you ever seen the "Whose Line is it Anyway" version of that? It's kinda funny -- just not long enough.

Let me think, Earth 2. Was that the one where people relocated from Earth to another planet (hence Earth 2), and these mud-covered things came up from the ground and occasionally captured people?

Oh Lord, you even watched Space: Above and Beyond. Yet another one I watched (the only person I knew watching at the time). That would have been a great one to snark on. Nipple Neck and all other kind of name calling.

OMG I was like obsessed with Wings. Looking back, I'm not sure why. It probably was not that funny. Tony Shalhoub was on it too. And Thomas Hayden Church will always be Lowell to me too!

I loved Roswell too, at least for the first season. It was an amazing teenage drama. They really messed it up by making it too sci-fi. I like sci-fi but it wasn't very good sci-fi. I'll always love Colin Hanks for being on it! And for the entire first season of Lost, I called Claire "Tess".

MST3K is probably my all-time favorite TV show. My brother and I still quote it all the time. Our parents started showing it to us when I was 8 and he was 6...they really warped our minds. ;) I'm not familiar with the "Whose line is it anyway" version of it!

Yes, that's exactly Earth 2! It was like Lost, but on another planet. The Noxema girl and Antonio Sabato, Jr were on it. Fine stars of the mid-90s! I think it was recently released on DVD.

Yeah, like no one watched Space: Above and Beyond, which is really sad because it was really good. It was similar to the new Battlestar Galactica except it focused on the pilots. Bill Buchanen from 24 was on it! I wonder if it's out on DVD?

I just remembered the Saturday evening NBC lineup- Dark Skies, The Pretender, and Profiler. I loved all those shows!

[monkeypeanut]

Another vote for Freaks and Geeks. That was a great little show that was never given a chance. I think it was on Friday nights for a while...lame.

Felicity and Buffy were great, but they both ran their course. Still, I didn't ever miss those shows. They were great!

I also miss 3-2-1 Contact and Electric Company. Now that I have kids, I wish they could some of the shows I loved, and not just Sesame Street.

I thought Cannonball 2000 was great bit of reality programming. But it was just a one-off as far as I know. I think they should do another edition.

And--I'm so embarrased to admit this--where is The Swan? Man that show was so bad it was good.

ronclone, thanks for the reminder about Married With Children. For years my daughter, boyfriend (now husband), and I would pile in front of the TV on Sunday night and watch that show and The Simpsons while eating dinner. Occasionally, when someone uses a flash on a camera I remember the time Kelly 'flashed' herself. Too funny.

Mulv, you got that right about Duchovny ... can't believe he is married to Tea Leoni.

I didn't watch Wings until the reruns. Never missed them, if I could help it. Remember the time Antonio (Tony Shaloub) dressed up like a "Twister" for Halloween? Flying cow and everything. It still makes me chuckle.

Antonio Sabato, Jr. was such a hunk on that show, but I was disappointed that they didn't do more with his character. I know they had to have him sleeping a lot so he could 'dream' about the mud people, but still....
Wonder what ever happened to him?? And, you're right, Earth 2 was an interplanetary version of Lost. Wonder if the concept would be better received these days.

Just checked the internet and saw Earth 2 and Space: Above and Beyond for sale on DVD. Wonder if we can get a discount for volume purchases??;)

whoislain, have you heard anything at all about Carnivale?? My husband and I were hooked on that show. It's the only thing he would watch on tv with the exception of sports. We watched every episode up until the season finale a couple of years ago, then poof, nothing. Just a bunch of questions on our part. I would definitely buy that on DVD if there were more episodes that tied everything up.

Yeah I think HBO pretty much axed it without tying up the loose ends. Season 1 is on DVD but season 2 is not available yet. I just checked Amazon and it says Season 2 will be released in July. Networks can be so cruel :( Don't they realize we need to know what happens?? Screw the whole "making money" thing! :p

OK, I just had to check the IMDB to see what Antonio Sabato, Jr. is up to. Apparently he's on the Bold and the Beautiful! You're right, they didn't do as much with him as they should have! What a shame to have manmeat and not use it properly.

OO they're on DVD? Maybe I'll have to rewatch those shows. Although, part of me is afraid that they won't be as good as I remember...

[whoislain]

Oh, I just realized that no one has mentioned Popular yet! So hilarious and ridiculous and campy. The writing was uneven during the second season but still, a great show. Mary Cherry is one of my all-time favorite TV characters. Please tell me someone else here watched it?

Another show I miss Strangers with Candy. There is a movie coming out this year...but I've read some negative reviews. :(

What is IMDB?

If you rewatch Earth2 and become concerned that it is not as good as you remember it, turn down the volume and make up your own script like the robot, et al, in MST3K. Trust me, it will be hilarious. Promise to let me know what you said when the slimy looking, smelly monster thing is on there. Didn't that thing turn out to be a harmless girly monster??

[brutal youth]

Haha, good plan about Earth 2. If things go bad, I'll just MST3K it! I only vaguely remember the monster...was it harmless? I remember that Tim Curry was badass. He was probably scarier than the monster.

I also miss Buffy, Angel especially because the story was left unfinished, X-files with Mulder only, and John Doe because it was just starting to get really good when it got axed.

I forgot about Twin Peaks. I loved that show. And Northern Exposure, too.

Have added IMDB to my favorites ... thanks much!!

The monster made gawd-awful noises, hulked, supposedly smelled bad and drooled everywhere ... it was so cheesy. It stole supplies all the time and hoarded them up in its hideaway. The curly-headed chick made friends with it in order to get food and some of their stuff back. Yes, it turned out to be harmless.

I had forgotten about Tim Curry. Big fan of his, at least his early stuff. He was a bad a$$.

[deltoro]

Northern Exposure!!!!! I spent an entire summer on bedrest and watched Northern Exposure reruns to pass the time. Really hated it when Rob Morrow left the show. I'm sure in hindsight he did too. I had a little crush on John Corbett during that time. Must've been the hormones.

I forgot about Twin Peaks. I loved that show. And Northern Exposure, too.

Oh yeah, I was waaaaay too young to watch Twin Peaks but I did anyway. Honestly, I'm still disturbed by some of those episodes but it was can't-look-away televsion. I think Twin Peaks should also go down in history as having the all time creepiest theme song. I couldn't hum the damn thing if I tried but I remember being freaked out by it.

I also loved Northern Exposure. I used to watch the reruns on USA or A&E or whatever channel they were on. I also used to watch Quantum Leap when I was home on summer vacations. I remember it came on at noon on USA every weekday. My sister and I would eat lunch and watch it.

By the way, whoislain, I love your avatar.

I also loved Northern Exposure. I used to watch the reruns on USA or A&E or whatever channel they were on. I also used to watch Quantum Leap when I was home on summer vacations. I remember it came on at noon on USA every weekday. My sister and I would eat lunch and watch it.

By the way, whoislain, I love your avatar.

Quantum Leap ... yet another great one I forgot about. Scott Bakula kept me company that whole summer, too. Wish the reruns would return. It's been just long enough that I could watch them again with renewed interest.

[Lizardqueen]

I forgot that Quantum Leap ever existed. That show was pretty great. It reminds me of another time travelling show from when I was a kid. There was this hunky guy who wore a puffyish shirt and leather vest who travelled with a kid in a striped shirt with maybe Chuck Taylor's and a afro. THey had a small brass device that would have a red light if their work wasn't finished and a green light if they could move on. What the hell was that show? My bro and I never missed it. Help me out people. I also remember that hunky guy died when he shot himself inthe head with a prop gun that malfunctioned. Does anyone remember this?

Ummm, hello? Thats only one of my favorite shows from the 80's, Voyagers. Starring John Erik hexum, made famous because he accidentally shot himself in the head with a prop gun and killed himself on the set of his other tv show Cover Up. And the boy in it was played by the fabulous Meeno Peluce, brother of Soliel Moon Frye.

For some odd reason of the 12 HDTV channels I get for my big screen HDTV, one of them has Quantum Leap reruns at 6 and Knight Rider reruns at 7. All in high definition. Suffice it to say I am thrilled.

I don't remember Voyagers, LQ, but your mention of time traveling shows made me think of Sliders. Puffy shirts, leather vests, and afros could also be seen on that show. I wish I had one of those time-travel/parallel-world devices.

I actually remember when that guy shot himself. Talk about going out with a bang ... :eek:

[Moonsweeper]

I loved all those shows too lol especialy Northern Exposure and Quantum Leap. I haven't seen Northern Exposure in quite a while but I do watch the Quantum Leap festivals they have on Sci-Fi occasionally. It makes me want to buy the dvd's if they are out. I also remember Voyagers and watched every week when I was a kid. I think we are due for another good time traveling show like those two the only one I can think of is Doctor Who. I like that show but it's not the same.

[AJtvaddict]

I'm embarrassed to admit that my college roommate and I were devastated when Wasteland was cancelled back in 1999.

I also miss Sex & The City and Kingpin.

[Lizardqueen]

Yeah, that show was the best. I always felt bad for the kid that he could never go home.
I also loved and miss, Thundar the Barbarian and He-Man. Those were my 2 favorite cartoons. The cartoons now suck. Or else I'm just old.

[Tabby Lavalamp]

Seeing DB Sweeney on House the other day reminded me of Strange Luck, a fantastic show he starred in that didn't get the audience it deserved.

[tvaholic]

90210 is a guilty pleasure for me too. I was so disappointed when F/X stopped showing the reruns.

"Donna Martin graduates!"

[whawha]

one word:

Manimal.

[tvaholic]

My friends and I were in junior high when Hexum died & we tried to contact him with a Ouji board. Yeah, didn't work. You know the kid with the fro is Punky Brewster's brother.

[deltoro]

Remembered two more shows I never missed when they were on:

Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules

Great one-liners in both shows. Plus the fight scenes rocked.

[Mulv]

Just thought of some more shows. I miss Behind the Music. Occasionally VH1 will roll out an episode but it's just not the same. I miss the Fleetwood Mac, Ozzy Osborne, Motely Crue, Red Hot Chili Peppers heyday. The funniest episode has to be the Oasis episode. They had to subtitle the Gallagher brothers and then Liam talked about getting kicked off an airplane because he got mad at a stewardess who wouldn't give him a jam tart. God, they're fun.

I also liked VH1 Legends, which was like, the classy, Behind the Music.

Also, I don't know if I miss it exactly, but I used to watch Charles in Charge. A lot. And I liked it. Without any irony.

[msCCRN]

I miss in no particular order:
Ed
Seinfeld
Sex in the City
Dead like me
Six Feet Under
L.A. Law
Cheers (when Shelley Long was on)

[OD-TV]

Does anyone remeber Picket Fences? I loved that show. I think it was canceled way too soon like many of my favs i.e. Arrested Development.

[susanarosa]

I'm embarrassed to admit that my college roommate and I were devastated when Wasteland was cancelled back in 1999.

I also miss Sex & The City and Kingpin.

Yay! Someone else remembers Kingpin! Oh how Bobby Cannavale was sexy in that show... *slurp*

I can't believe no one else has mentioned (that I saw) Homicide: Life on the Street. That was by far the best show ever (in my mind)

Anyone else miss Kids in the Hall? I used to watch that shit on CBC on my little black and white tv my parents let me have in my room that only got 2,4, 7, 9 (Canadian Broadcasting Channel) and 50.

I vaguely remember watching Dallas on that sucka.

Crush your head ... that guy dressed like a chicken ... the shark attack in the office ... nobody likes me, everybody hates me ...

It was a great show in black & white or color TV.

[tvtvtv]

You Can't Do That On Television
Kids Incorporated
Small Wonder

[Lizardqueen]

Ooh, I really liked Kids in the Hall. I had wicked crushes on Bruce (short) and Scott (gay) both of whom had questionable looks. Add them to my long line of crushes on ugly dudes. John Malkovich anyone? I'm all about the funny.

I remember really enjoying It's Garry Shandling's Show. This was the Seinfeld of it's time, to me. "We're almost to the part, of where I start to whistle..."

[Lizardqueen]

tvtvtv, Small Wonder was the worst show ever! Of all time! In the entire universe! But I'm glad you liked it.

Lizardqeeen, John Malkovich is a favorite of mine. Always thought he was interesting but developed my first crush on him when he starred in "The Portrait of a Lady" with Nicole Kidman. He was such a bad boy in that film.

[tvtvtv]

LQ, I am offended! A moving portrayal of a robot just trying to make it in this crazy, mixed-up human world. But you can't argue with Kids - Martika? Stacy before she mutated into Fergie? Good stuff.

[monkeypeanut]

OMG EdHill. I totally forgot about Meeno Peluce. He went to the same university that I did. I did not know that he had been a tv actor...I thought he was cute *rolls eyes in embarrassment*. But he was a pompous ass.

[Lizardqueen]

Meeno Peluce was wicked cute! Apparently he still is, according to the little stalking investigation I've conducted.

Can you please help me distinguish "Kids Incorporated" from "You can't Do That on Television"? I remember watching both of those at some point. How about "Degrassi Junior High" ay?

[Lizardqueen]

I'd just like to offer my most sincere apology to anyone who, like me, winds up with It's Garry Shandling's Show theme song stuck in their head all day.

[monkeypeanut]

Kids Inc. was a steaming pile of cheesiness. Really bad, really shlocky 80's style pop music sung by really obnoxious child actors with poofy hair. OH GOD it was bad.

You Can't Do That on Television was a kids program out of Canada. It was kind of an SNL for kids, with a cable-access feel to it. Little sketches. It's the one that splashed green slime on anyone who said "I don't know" or water if they said "water" (or "wutter" as they say in Canada).

Thank you monkey peanut!! I recognized the name of that show but could not remember what it was about until you mentioned the green slime. My eldest child watched it all the time. I thought the Canadians said "war-tur" ... or maybe that was just the southern Canadians.

[deltoro]

Does anyone remember watching Jesse starring Christina Applegate?

What about Boston Commonn or Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place?

Parts of the mid-'90s are slowly coming back to me.

[tvtvtv]

Yes, monkeypeanut! And a very young Alanis Morissette was on You Can't, I think. These are the three most chees-tastick 80's shows ever. The featured imdb quote for Kids Inc. is: "When bad clothing happens to good children." =)

[zoobabe]

I watched all those shows. Boston Common was one I actually LIKED!


Someone please explain the whole Degrassi thing to me b/c I'm a HUGE Kevin Smith fan, and there is a DVD at my video store about Jay and Silent Bob do Degrassi. Is it worth it to rent if I've never watched the show and just want to see Jay and Silent Bob- or no?

[angelic_shy_sweet_guy]

I have to add Malcolm In The Middle now. I didn't realize that last week was the series finale (I missed it 'cause of work :( ). I guess I took it for granted because of its schedule change and the repeats and stuff. FOX is really trying my patience.

deltoro, I used to watch the earlier shows of Jessie and Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place, but I have to admit that it was more because of certain actors on the shows (a certain George and a certain David, respectively). :p

[palmtree]

[QUOTE=Firecat]I was a huge Friends fan, but the latter seasons weren't as good as the first few.

I agree with you Firecat. Loved, loved Friends. Got tired of the on/off again of Ross and Rachel though. I stopped watching when Joey and Rachel tried to get a thing going. Okay I miss Silver Spoons and Family Ties (early years before the little boy was born, what was his name?) and Gimme a Break. Dating myself??? I loved those shows. I wish TVLAND would play Gimme and Silver Spoons.

I remember Jesse, I totally forgot about that. Her neighbor, the hunky latin guy was on Will & Grace one time. He was the house cleaning guy in Karen's building who thought Karen was a maid as well. Haven't seen him since.

[someone_talked]

the simpsons... when conan was writing for them and phil hartman was still voicing some of the best characters!

[palmtree]

Speaking of Phil Hartman does anyone remember him in that show,I think it was called News Radio? It took place obviously enough at a radio station, Phil was one of the news casters? I still can't believe he's dead. Loved Small Soldiers.

Bruno Campos! He was the best thing about that show Jesse.

I think he was on the most recent season of Nip/Tuck, but I don't watch it so I'm not sure. It looked like him in the commercials.

[msCCRN]

Okay is it wrong but I totally loved Remington Steele. I loved how Pierce used movies to solve a crime; man after my own heart.

OOooh Palmtree I almost forgot about Remington Steele. I LOVED that show. It was kinda in the same vein as Moonlighting with the sexual tension between the male and female lead characters. I always though Pierce Brosnan was waaay better looking than Bruce Willis-even when he had hair;)

[tvaholic]

As far as "Two Guys & A Girl" and "Boston Common"-I liked those shows too. That's when that southern guy (Anthony Clark?) was actually funny, and I had thing for both of the "Two Guys."

I was trying to think of some shows I loved when I was a kid-anybody remember "Fury?" Or what about the great Friday & Saturday night lineups of "Battlestar Galactica" and "Buck Rogers," and "Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island?" I always wanted my parents to get me a horse like Fury, and at the time the special effects were so cool on BG & BR. "Love Boat," before Julie was kicked off for good & Vicki grew out of her cute kid role was the best, and who can resist Tattoo & Mr. Roark? Ahh, the memories of childhood...

Did you know that in real life Pierce couldn't stand Stephanie Zimblist. He thought she was very unladylike. Kinda hard to do the whole chase thing when it's something you don't want.

Moonlight was good in the beginning until they started dating, then fighting, then dating ugh, grow up already. :)

[Mark]

I'm so ashamed. I used to watch a show on Nickelodeon and never knew what it was called.

So last year I was channel surfing and found it again. Legends of the Hidden Temple. Corniest TV show ever, and the prizes were like a box of Blow Pops. It was depressing. But I still watch it occasionaly.

[Lizardqueen]

"In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team. "

Dun-nu-dunt-dun, dun-du-nu-nu-nu.

Yeah, I had a wicked crush on Faceman. Well I guess it was a Dirk Benedict crush because I liked Lieutenant Starbuck too. (Murdock also, but I don't like to talk about it.)

And Buck Rogers. That was some crazy shit.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

How did I miss this thread?

Ok here's my list - most of it is repeating stuff some of you chose
My So Called Life
Sex and the City
Sports Night
Ed
China Beach - loved Boonie, Becket, Dodger
Paradise Hotel/Temptation Island and was that third one called Love Cruise?
Wonderfalls - still catch reruns on Logo

Now some new ones -
The Mole - Anderson Cooper at his finest
Joan of Arcadia - just as it got really good - it got cancelled (pout)
Love Monkey - anything with Tom Cavanaugh is yummy
Facts of Life - come on who can resist them some Tootie?

Now for two really obscure ones - that might just age me a little
Fridays - sketch comedy that featured Larry David, Bruce Mahler, Melanie Chardoff, pre-Seinfeld Michael Richards (hilarious with his toy army guys),
Sigmund and the Seamonster - one of those great Saturday morning shows with that red-head boy from Family Affair (another good show)

[hannahthehun]

How come they never did another Paradise Hotel? It was my main guilty pleasure while it was on. Granted they made up the rules as they went along, but it was kind of fun.
Also, Boomtown was a GREAT show. I really do wish it was still on.

[zoobabe]

How did I miss this thread?

Sigmund and the Seamonster - one of those great Saturday morning shows with that red-head boy from Family Affair (another good show)

I can't believe I forgot about the A-Team. "I love it when a plan comes together" I had a hard time watching him on Breakfast at Tiffany's because of this show; he just didn't fit. Doesn't TVLAND have reruns of this show?

[TinkerbellAPixie]

My Mom currently carries a green shaggy purse that I call Sigmund.

Do you remember how on the Friday night before the new season of cartoons would start they would usually show a cartoon preview show? I remember my sisters and I would be all excited for the big night, we'd deck out in our special jammies (or in my case Wonder Woman underoos) line up on the floor in front of the TV all ready to see the preview.

[jelliepair]

Tink
How could I have forgotten China Beach? I use to find it in reruns on like TNT - I wish that was still on somewhere! LOVE that show!

And you reminded me of my youth -
How about:
Life Goes On
Hill Street Blues
Family
Happy Days

[palmtree]

I just heard the theme song on my radio station and it brought back such great memories. WKRP!!! Also Simon and Simon. I'm proud to say that took place here. I remember seeing the Coronado Bay Bridge in the opening credits.

Family double dare, was so fun. What was that other kid show on Nick; it was a bunch of kids doing skits. If you said a certain word you got slimed or got water dumped on you? I watched that a lot.

What about Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude. I liked those shows from Nick.
There is this cool website where you can find all the shows you used to watch, they even have some of the opening credits.

[tvaholic]

Oh my gosh, how could I forget about CHiPs palmtree? Did you know they are making it into a movie? I think Erik Estrada has a cameo, but unfortunately Fez is playing Poncho. I know he was the "cute" one, but I always liked Baker better. I know it's going to be bad becase none of the movies made from tv shows have been any good, but I'm still curious.

And Life Goes On (sorry, forgot who posted)-I cried when they killed of the jock-Tyler I think? Even though he wasn't the best actor, it was great to see the nerdy girl get both the jock & the arty guy. Even though Chad Lowe was like 35 when he was on the show, or at least he just looked that much older than everyone else. And who didn't love Corky?

There is no way I'm going to watch the movie then. I don't like Fez. What's funny is that when we were kids I always went for the blondies (Baker, blonde Simon) and my sister went for the dark haired ones (Ponch, darker Simon). I also have no desire to see the Miami Vice movie coming out. I didn't even like the show.

[Lizardqueen]

Simon+Simon=awesome

What about Magnum P.I.? That was great too. I remember being at a birthday party where the kid got a magic 8 ball. All the girls started asking it questions, one of which was "Is Magnum P.I. hot?" accompanied by vigorous shaking and giggling. My asexual ass did not understand.

[tvaholic]

I also have no desire to see the Miami Vice movie coming out. I didn't even like the show.

I never cared for the show either. And Colin Farrel & Jamie Foxx?? WTF?? Foxx must be trying to shake off that whole Oscar rep he has.

If that's the case he is doing a fine job. I heard that Marine movie he did and then that air pilot movie sucked too. I am not a fan of his and please Colin Farrel as Don Johnson's character???? Yeah that fits. What a waste of money.

Thought of another show; Charles in Charge!! I loved it. I heard that Scott Baio was having a thing with Nicole who went on to be a Baywatch Babe.

While Magnum was good, I was always a Riptide man.

Yep, I heard that too & as far as I know it's true-puts a whole new spin on the show now, doesn't it? Also when you figure Willie Aames was big into his drug habit at that time. (I think) Ok, here's another obscure fact-the innocent girl who played the younger sister in the second family, she played David's girlfriend on one of the later season's of 90210 & also recently played Jon Cryer's character's girlfriend on one episode of "Two & A Half Men." It's really scarey that I can know these things but ask me anything from high school calculus & you'll get a vacant stare in return.

No worries, I do the same thing. I keep telling everyone at home "hey that's the guy from so and so." I wish I watched Two and a half men, I'm sure I would have caught that. I saw the psycho girl Brandon was dating, the girl with the spikey bleached blonde hair on an episode of Cold Case. Do you guys watch Freddie Prinze Jr.? Brian Austin Green is on it and he looks surprising good considering the corny ass look he had on 90210.

[Mulv]

I too used to love Magnum PI. Tom Selleck and his short-shorts? What's not to like.

I loved Charles in Charge. Here in CT a local station used to play Charles in Charge back to back with Saved By the Bell. It was awesome and pretty much everyone's guilty television viewing pleasure. It wasn't until we all got into high school that we admitted that we all went home and watched Charles in Charge and Saved By the Bell. It was a relief to know that EVERYONE was dorky.

I don't know if anyone will remember this show. This is a little obscure but...here goes...Anyone remember Salute Your Shorts on Nickelodeon? Oh!! And Hey Dude!!! Those shows were awesome. Christine Taylor (now married to Ben Stiller) played Melody on Hey Dude. And yes, I can still sing the theme song to both shows. Who brought the cool kid?

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Is it bad that the only reason I've heard of Dark Shadows is because Sookie on the Gilmore Girls spent an episode sneaking into a room at the inn to watch it???

Maybe we should Add Gilmore Girls to the list (one of my fave shows of all time and the ONLY show I own every DVD season of). Now that the writers/creators left over contract quibbles (greed) it's just not going to be the same show at all (sniffle).

I was a big fan of the ole Tuesday Night line up on ABC with ShaNaNa, Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. Later they added Mork and Mindy but I only liked the earlier episodes of that. I wasn't a fan of the adult baby even if whathisnuts was almost funnier than Robin Williams.

[BaskEtcAse]

Just read through the entire thread and didn't see anyone mention Men Behaving Badly. So it had Rob Schneider, but it was really good while it lasted.

Also miss Seinfeld, loved Wings, Moonlighting (up to when they got together for real), and I now miss In Justice which just disappeared without warning:confused: .

I remember Dark Shadows...but only because my parents wouldn't let me watch. We didn't get much TV here before cable was introduced in the country in the early 90s. We only got our second local station in the mid 80s!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Ooh did anyone mention Melrose Place yet?

And some others..

James at 16
Ned and Stacy
The Archies (cartoon)
Eight is Enough

I forgot about Eight is Enough-LOVED that show & used to catch it on reruns all the time. Has there ever been another show with more drug users & crazies on it?

[zoobabe]

Melrose Place?-yes! I loved that show. I mentioned before that I used to do the recaps for the local radio station every Tues morning. I hope I win the TVgasm contest!

I also loved Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley

I also loved Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley and Square Pegs too!

OMG- I LOVED Square Pegs

Square pegs, square pegs. Square, square pegs
Always never quite right.
I’d like it if they liked us, but I don’t think they like us.
So tell me where’s the party, and how come we weren’t invited?
One size does not fit all.

Don’t wanna wear my glasses, I have to wear my glasses.
Why are we wearing this year what they were wearing last year?
Yeah, I’d be cuter without gum in my braces.
I hope the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts.

She said that she was, but we know she isn’t
And she said that she would but he hasn’t asked her.

He did - and we know it. But with whom? We can't guess it.
And they think that we’re the.

Square pegs, square pegs. Square, square pegs

Really funny - who broke the π button on my calculator?
May you be eternally grounded.
Me? Get juiced with The Cool Patrol?
Uh . . . no thanks . . . Why do you think they call it beer?
I mean...listen to him!

Square pegs, square pegs. Square, square pegs

Ya know, our school colors should be black and blue.
Yeah. I mean no. Huh? What?
No. I don’t think I have a bad attitude. Why?
Suspended? Suspended for what?
But they told me it was Senior Wig Day!
Honest, I don’t even know how those worms got there.
Now, what would I do with 200 peanut butter cups?
One size does not fit all

Vengeance Unlimited. It starred Michael Madsen people!

[jennilicious]

Ned and Stacy

Tink you rock! I loved this show. It used to come on USA at like 5 am and that was pre-DVR so I'd always set my ghetto fab vcr to tape it. It was so snarky and good.

I watched the Jake Effect with Jason Bateman and Greg Grunberg on last week's brilliant but cancelled on Bravo. It was only six episodes, but I miss it already. It was a great show.

[Tabby Lavalamp]

First came Ned and Stacey. Then came Will and Grace. If Debra Messing's next show is just the two main characters' names, I'm going to have to hunt her down and smack her silly.

[annlaur]

I miss the Alias from seasons 1 and 2
I really liked Eyes a lot even though it was only on for like 4 episodes
I'll miss Invasion too...

As far as animated goes...She-Ra and the Smurfs rock.

[Lizardqueen]

I miss He-Man. But one of my all time favorite toons was Thundar the Barbarian. I don't want to scare anyone off, but one of my nicknames is Ookla the Mok. True story.

[Ness]

I don't want to scare anyone off, but one of my nicknames is Ookla the Mok. True story.

LMAO. How did you get that nickname???????????

Hell yea Smurfs rock, I also liked the Snorks

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Hell yea Smurfs rock, I also liked the Snorks

OOH that reminds me - do any of you watch Robot Chicken? :confused:

[Lizardqueen]

LMAO. How did you get that nickname???????????

Hell yea Smurfs rock, I also liked the Snorks

I have a mane that can tend to fluff out. It reminds someone who loves me of Ookla the Mok. Thanks. It makes me feel so pretty to be called Ookla. And that's not even the worst one. This dude is the nickname king.

[derder]

I miss Family- I always wanted to be Kristy McNichol...

Does anyone remember the show "Bakersfield?" It had Ron Eldard & I forget the other guys name in it & they were cops in, well, Bakersfield. Don't rememeber why but I liked the show & I think it was only on for one season.

I also miss how The Real World used to be-how they actually had to work and earn money to buy food. If I remember correctly, the London cast had to scrape together money to get their phone turned back on, and I also remember in the LA season how everyone got so ticked at John because he just sat around all day watching tv & eating Cheetos.

[carewski]

in random order.....

Millennium
Hill Street Blues
Homicide
Dark Angel (with Jessica Alba as a created mutant, or something, with Joshua, the dog-faced boy)
X-Files
The Lone Gunmen
Boomtown
St. Elsewhere (the early years)
LA Law (I loves me some Jimmy Smits)
NYPD Blue (ditto)

and now I'll spend the weekend thinking of the ones I've forgotten.

Or when Montana got fired for letting that kid have a drink of her wine! Good days - but I think the producers figured out that if they made them work for a living they wouldn't be able to afford all the alcohol that makes them do all the stupid stuff that they think makes better TV - I think we can all thank Vegas for that.

Dance your cares away, worries for another day...

I can't believe no one has mentioned Andy Richter Controls the Universe

I think it was only on for one season, but it was great

Life Goes on
Buffy
Angel

and American Gladiators!

does anyone remember the trashy dating show in the '90's called Studs? (pure trash, loved it)

[deltoro]

I watched American Gladiators ... Nitro was my hero.

[deltoro]

Thinking about American Gladiator and 'battling' to get through the competition made me think of Battlebots. Is that still on?

[Aspen001]

Not sure if Battle Bots is still on, but it was good. I asked my husband what shows he misses and he said ER, I responded that it was still on, but then I realized, not really. God, I miss ER

Supermarket Sweep. David Ruprecht, host and Johnny Gilbert, announcer. The three teams loading up shopping carts and grabbing Bonuses...it was great.

Nanny and the Professor
The Partridge Family

Ahh, the old Friday night lineup....

I'm so glad someone remembers Bakersfield PD. It was truly hilarious. I still think of jokes from it. It had very deadpan humor, was multi camera and had no laughtrack, so it was doomed from the start.

I also miss another show no one has mentioned, Due South, about a Canadian Mounty in Chicago. A one hour drama, but also very funny. It was canceled after two seasons on CBS, and then revived for a third season (which was not as good) on Canadian TV. One of my favorite shows ever.
