fav TV show(s) that no longer air

[12dn94dst]

The early seasons of In Living Color, ESPECIALLY when they did Men On Film (two snaps up)....Saturday Night Live when Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman (RIP) were on. I loved the Hans and Frans, Donahue and George Bush skits. That was always the topic for Monday morning homeroom discussion. I can't forget The Cosby Show and Different World. I loved the early seasons of Comic View, you know, when it actually ran for a whole season instead of 2 weeks of new shows and the remaining season is reruns....

I loved Three's Company! That was my favorite show. With my age, I was only able to see the re-runs but now they don't even play them! That stinks http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

12dn94dst, I know what you mean w/ Comic View. What's up w/ that? That's so annoying! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Different World, Cosby Show, Living Single, Melrose Place (can we say smut t.v at it's best!), 90210 (but I loved M.P better), Who's the Boss,...I can't think of any more. I'll have to come back. There's a lot of cartoons I miss too...Thundercats, SilverHawks, Transformers (I'm a girl but I loved me some Transformers!). Do ya'll remember the Kid 'n' Play cartoon? LOL! And the MC Hammer cartoon?! LOL Yeah I have to come back cuz I know there are so many more.

"Come and knock on our door

I loved that show!!!!

[tickledpink]

OK, for those of you that are used to my posts, you knew I was going to add this sooner or later----

GOOD TIMES! I'm sorry, but I can't wake up at 5:30 am to catch the reruns. So, until then, I'll have to live with my intro 4.99 Florida Evans series. I want the Janet Jackson series (run Penny..., you know she's gettin' that iron!!), but I refuse to pay 24.99.

Oooooh, some of those are my favorites too. I happen to love "The Jeffersons" as well.

[heatherh1981]

Mine would be Full House and The Wonder Years.

[ZChi4Life]

but can we say :
Benny Hill (remember that ya'll)

Wonder Woman

Yes, I remember Benny Hill!! I loved that show! And WW was the Bomb!

I also liked The Jeffersons, Good Times, and the Wonder Years.

And: Amen, Golden Girls (those old ladies were too funny! "Picture it, Sicily 1920.."). And does anyone remember that soap opera Generations?

[tickledpink]

Mama, I was watching The Wood the other day and heard them open with that song...

[Sexy Mocha]

I haven't heard anyone mention Dynasty in ages!!! And the Colbys?? I didn't think anyone remembered the Colbys!! Fallon was my girl! Jeff was sooo fine. Remember when Krystle slapped Alexis into the pool? Mama, you just brought back so many memories! I never watched Dallas but I sure remember when they had the cliffhanger of all time, then told us it was all a dream. Remember the bionic dog (Max)? And that sound that was made when Jamie was trying to hear with her bionic ear? And we all knew...the slower they ran...the faster they were going! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif What about those evil Fembots?
Benny Hill was hilarious! I liked the little, old bald man that Benny used to always slap around! I could go on and on about the old school shows...so I'll stop before I bring this topic into 3 or 4 pages on my own!!

[Sexy Mocha]

Aww heck! I gots to continue! Charlie's Angels was the bomb! Did they ever end up showing who Charlie was? (Remember all we ever heard was his voice..."Hello Angels
Who was you alls favorite angel? I was pretty partial to Kelly myself. The blonds changed too often (kind of like on Three's Company...Chrissy, Terri, the other one)...and Sabrina...well Sabrina was too butch for me.
Different Strokes...What you talkin' bout Willis?
I just loved the Jeffersons! Florence was no joke! I liked that woman's attitude! Remember the Halloween epsisode? When Weezee, through her new telesccope, saw the man in the big, white rabbit suit kill someone!! Now those were the days! Ok, I'm going to stop now...really.

Oh so many choices.
I really miss "What's happening" with Rog and Rerun and Dee (Hey Hey Hey!!!)!
I miss that show "Small Wonder" with the robotic daughter Vicki and that bratty next door neighbor Harriet. I also miss the "Wonder Years" (Didn't it kill you every time Kevin and Winnie broke up)
I miss "The Facts of Life" (Sisterhood at it's best)
I miss "The Incredible Hulk" and the A-Team
I miss "Different World" the most though.
But most of all I miss the cartoons I used to come home from school to:
Gummi Bears
Duck Tales
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
BeetleJuice
Alvin and the CHIPMUNKS (Alvin Simon Theadore!)
Thats all for now...

[FlyPhi]

I miss The Mickey Mouse Club, not the really old ones but MMC. I also miss Kids Inc. That show was the best!

Some of my other favs:
Bossom Buddies
Charles in Charge
A Different World
Facts of Life
Cosby Show
California Dreams
Saved by the bell (the college years too!)
Woozles (sp?)
Care Bears
oh there are just too many!

My Fav SNL sketch was the Sorority Girl one. The one where they answered the phone "Delta Delta Delta, Can I help ya help ya help ya" That was soooo funny! It was just so stupid that it made me laugh my butt off! They don't ever re-run it, someone told me that Delta Delta Delta sued SNL for illegal use of thier name.

And how can I forget about Alvin and the Chipmunks?! I had that Christmas album (yes, album!) Remember the "Hula-Hoop" song? "I still want my huuuu-la hoop"! Ah the memories!

Facts of Life was cool too--couldn't you just slap Blair sometimes w/ her stuck up attitude? But she turned out to be ok sometimes.

Here's some more cartoons:
She-Ra and He-Man
Dungeons and Dragons
Rainbow Brite
My Little Ponies
Pound Puppies
The Get-a-Long Gang
The Snorkles
Curious George (the show w/ the little monkey)

Did anyone watch "Today's Special"? It came on the Canadian channel where I live
(Detroit).

Remember Schoolhouse Rocks? Conjunction junction what's the function (is that how it went?)

Oh and did anyone watch Mr. Dressup? Man, couldn't he draw? I wanted to draw like him so bad. I loved that show.

[Alumnus who cares]

Speaking of Road Runner, I always got a kick out of how Wile E. Coyote would run off the edge of a cliff (or ride off the edge on his Acme rocket scooter) and go straight out for 100 feet, then all of a sudden look down and realize that he was no longer on solid ground, and stop to look up and wave sadly at the audience before he plummeted 1000 feet.

I still watched GI Joe all the way through high school, before i left in the morning, that and Mighty Max! I really dug on Sesame Street when I was little, and Mr. Rogers, but the coolest had to be...Picture Pages! Bill Cosby was soooo cool. I think it might have been on during Fat Albert, for like 5-10 min, can't really remember. I do know I had the Picture Pages Coloring book, and that cool as hell pen!

I also watched Voltron, He-Man, Thundercats, Transformers, MASK, and about a million other cartoons!

Since I've never been a cartoon fanatic, can someone please explain to me just WHY Wile E. Coyote was always chasing the Road Runner? I mean, I am aware that the chase was always in vain because the Road Runner was too fast but did Wile E. ever think to just stop running after him? Did it become an obsession or what? Was Road Runner constantly doing things to provoke the chase? I don't understand.

Dang, gurll, don't you have cable TV? Half the shows you mentioned are currently rerun on one cable show or another.

Incredible Hulk is on the Sci-Fi Channel
The A-Team and I think the Wonder Years is on Nick-at-Nite and/or TV Land.
The Facts of Life used to be on the USA Network about a year or two ago. I think it will also air on TV Land or Nick at Nite this fall.
Alvin & The Chipmunks is on the Cartoon Network in the mornings.
Different World is on UPN 43 if you live in the Cleveland area or has a cable system that gets that station.
For all you Cosby Show/Different World lovers, here in Columbus we get both shows locally on Channel 19 (a non-cable low power station).

I LOVE Relativity so much! Somewhere at home, is every episode of Relativity on tape (I went out on Saturday nights and recorded them). It was such an amazing show.

"Mad About You" and "Living Single" are two shows that are gone, but certainly not forgotten.

i loved 90210- it was my favorite show!!
Some i also miss are....
Wonder Years
Full House
Perfect Stranger (remember Balki)
Saved by the Bell

Of course there are no more new episodes of these, but they do show re-runs all the time. I havent see a re-run of Perfect Strangers though.

Okay well i am going to ask this again on here and maybe someone knows that I am talking about. There was this cartoon show that i absolutely loved, i am thinking it aired sometime early 90's. It was kind of like a 90210 type show, meaning the kids lived in beverly hills and there was also some evil girl on the show, but it was a cartoon. I think it was called beverly hills teen??? maybe! and i know the evil girl had black hair and her name was Bianca! Does anyone know what i am talking about or am i just imagining things???

I have to agree with you there! I only watch "Daria" on MTV now. Otherwise, there's nothing on. MTV used to introduce me to bands that I now love. My fave show was "120 Minutes" on Sunday nights at midnight! It had the best alternative, new wave, and progressive music! MTV sucks now! I wish I had M2 so I could watch videos. I think it's telling that they had to start another channel so that videos could be shown!

Now, the other shows that I miss are:
1) Cupid: Had cutie Jeremy Piven in it!
2) Now and Again: Had a cast of BRILLIANT actors: Eric Close, Dennis Haysbert, Margaret Colin, Heather Matarazzo! AWESOME SHOW!

That was the best -- and -- thanks to that show I am now the animal advocate -- anyone remember the episode where Ricky's grandfather took him hunting and he hurt the deer but didn't kill it....and we all know what happened next....I cried for days about that poor deer (despite my mom's attempts to tell me that they took it to the vet and fixed it right up... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif yeah right -- gotta love those big 'uns moms come up with to settle our minds).

I want to see re-runs of all those Croft & Key productions they used to show on Sat. and Sun. mornings -- Dr. Shrinker, Sigmund the Sea Monster (*singing*...and Johnny & Scott are friends...), Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, The Bugaloos, Land of the Lost (the old school ones -- not that newer junk), and HR Puff-n-Stuff (Witchy Poo is my girl!) Anyone know where I can catch any of these?!

Hi,
Just to toot my Canadian Horn...

You Can't Do that on Television - Canadian
Today's Special - Canadian
Fraggle Rock - Canadian

Thought I'd mention it cause so many people said they were faves.

My So-Called Life was my fave. I have all the episodes on tape, and I'm usually not a fanaticlike that.

I was a Punky Brewster fan hardcore! I think i'd be very dissapointed if I saw it now.

Few other faves: Facts of Life, Silver Spoons, Bev 90210 (i was the first one in my grade 8 class to know the whole zipcode off by heart http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif ), who's the boss, growing pains, and i'm sure there were more but i just can't remember now. That sums it up pretty nicely though.

There is a website that chronicles a LOT of old TV shows, complete with sound bites and clips.
www.tvparty.com (http://www.tvparty.com)

If you have RealPlayer, it is a MUST SEE!

I so LOVED Jasmine Guy's wedding gown on that show!!! WOW.

[FIUGreekSiS]

My favorite old show would have to be Quantum Leap. That show really made you think...what if I would have done just one thing different in life....

"Welcome Back Kotter" was absolutely hilarious! I used to put my alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night so I would not miss the re-runs! (up your nose with a rubber hose)

And who could forget Comedy Central's Ab Fab!!!1 that was great!

AXO ALUM,

[lilmama_26]

Watching Erin Gray on Silver Spoons tonite reminded me of Buck Rogers! Anyone remember that show?

And Sarah Jessica Parker fans must see her later this week on Square Pegs. That is a definite must see!

[shyone2]

Okay, I'm surprised no one has said ....

Magyver! (sp)

Now, really, isn't it sexy to have a man who can use a Tic Tac and dental floss to help you when you lock your keys in the car?

My picks:
Saved by the Bell
A Different World
Cosby Show (early years, of course)
Who's the Boss
Growing Pains
Mad About You

There are others ... but I'm a little choked up from the nostalgia.

Hi CRMSNTiDEGRL! Profiler comes on right after Homicide and the times I have watched it I really enjoyed it! It's tough for me to watch it a lot though since it doesn't start until midnight http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

LOCALSORORITIES! I see that you list AbFab as one of your favorites. Have you ever had the chance to watch The Young Ones? It's another British import with the same dry humor. I'm not sure if its on TV right now or not though.

My-So-Called-Life was the best production ever

I was appalled when I heard it was going off air

Wow, you guys listed some good ones...here are some of mine (in no particular order):

* My So Called Life (best show ever and yes I still have the episodes on tape!!!)
* Punky Brewster
* Saved By The Bell (before it got even cheesier that usual w/ the new casts)
* Mickey Mouse Club & Kids Incorporated
* The New Kids on the Block cartoons
* Baby Sitters Club
* Ready or Not
* Clarissa Explains It All
* Different World
* Blossom
* Models Inc.
* Hanna Barbara Saturday morning cartoons
* Living Dolls (w/ the wife from King of Queens...does anyone else remember this?)

[aopirose]

OK, I am about to show my age. My favorite TV show (mid-70's) was The Kids from Caper. It was about this group of teens who solved mysteries and crime. I had the biggest crush on "Randy". He always wore this blue "Saturday Night Fever" kind of suit with high top Converse. His hair was parted down the middle and feathered a la Sean Cassidy. Other favorites are Get Smart, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Chico and the Man, Maude, Alice (Kiss my grits!), H.R. Puffnstuff, The Hairbears, Dark Waters, and WKRP in Cincinnati.

Kindred: The Embraced is also a favorite vampire show but it only lasted one season. The main character died in real-life due to a motorcycle accident. Kolchak: The Night Stalker and the Groovy Ghoolies.

I am also a HUGE Buffy: The Vampire Slayer fan and tonight is the series finale. Tuesday nights just won't be the same without Buff and the Scooby gang. I have heard that it will be in syndication next season on UPN so there is some salvation.

CRMSNTiDEGRL717,
The show that you may be thinking of is Head of the Class. It starred Howard Hesseman as the teacher, Charlie Moore. He also starred in WKRP in Cincinnati as Dr. Johnny Fever.

Living dolls was a spin off of Who's the Boss. How sad that I know that. I actually watched it. I think you and I were the only ones.

Punky Brewster was my FAVORITE show as a kid. remember when henry got sick and they had a six-part cliffhanger where punky went back to the orphanage? I cried like a baby!

As for MSCL, it is definately my fave show of all time. And yes, I too am a Leslie and I too have EVERY episode on tape!!!

I also watched
*wonder years
*growing pains
*who's the boss
*cosby show
*blossom
*charles in charge (anyone out there remember when the show started with scott baio but a whole other family in the same house? then it went off the air for a year and came back with a whole new cast (nicole eggert et al.) ? never did understand how/why that happened....

and a bunch of other silly shows that i appear to have repressed the memory of ever having seen.

Melrose Place
Three's Company

KillarneyRose--- yeah, profiler is great, but it comes on at 6:00p.m. here, so im in luck that i dont have to stay up all night to watch it.
aopirose--- Thanks, yeah it was Head of the Class, that was such a cute show.
Everyone who mentioned MSCL, my fav quote of all time is off that: "The thing is, people always expect you to be the same way. Like you're a rock, or something. Except even rocks, like--- erode." ---CLaire Danes, MSCL

Just wanted to let you know that Buffy isn't being put in syndication. Buffy was up for renewal on the WB this year, and even though they desperately wanted to keep the show, UPN offered the producers a better deal than the WB, so they are moving the show over to UPN. So, basically, Buffy is still going strong and new episodes will air next season -- just on UPN instead of the WB. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Oh, Oh, oh. How can I forget Roar?! This was another one season wonder. It starred Heath Ledger from Mel Gibson's The Patriot. He looked so good in his little kilt.
