Ya know,
I was just thinking, You Dont appriciate TV shows until the series ends....
For Example:
I never watched Seinfeld, but now i watch it every night on another station that plays re-runs, I never really got interested in it, but now i think its great. An Cheers is another good one.
Although my favorite TV Show ever would Probably have to be "Married With Children"
So how about you guys, what TV shows do you miss and what shows do you watch now that they are off the air?

I still love the old 60's Batman. I don't know why, but i still love it, now matter how cheesy it may seem. I also greatly enjoy watching The A-Team.:)
All the old Nickelodeon and Disney Channel shows such as: Mickey Mouse Club, Kids Incorporated, Clarissa Explains It All, Secret World Of Alex Mack, Ren & Stimpy, Doug, Rocco's Modern Life, and then shows like CHiPS, A-Team, Night Rider and that one helicopter show... starts with like an A or something, it came on right after Night Rider... oh and of course, Magnum P.I.

Small Wonder aka Jess LOL
Mr. Belvedere

The Mc Hammer cartoon with his magic shoes!
He-man!!
GI JOE!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW Abi, What was Jem??
Alf (mmmm cats)
Super Mario Brothers + Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (and the rest of the 8 bit nintendo based cartoons)
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Crow, Tom Servo, gypsy, and mike)
Tracey Ullman Show Simpsons Shorts (30 seconds of a very crude pre-fox simpsons family)
im probably forgetting a lot but these are the ones that stick out in my mind
BTW Abi, What was Jem??
Jem was a girly cartoon in the 80s. It was about this chick who had an alterego named Jem. Jem was the leader of a band called Jem and the Holograms and their rival band was The Misfits. I thought it was the greatest show ever when I was little. I had the Jem barbi-doll, Jem music tape, Jem halloween costume ........

Cate Dumez
19-05-2002, 22:52
Come on now, The Smurfs has to be the best cartoon ever! There's just something hypnotizing about little blue guys that live in mushrooms!
some of my favorite were alf and gummy bears and smurfs and i remember David the Nome and then ya got Mr. Wizard and pete and pete was a great show to and Alex Mack andmuppet babhies were really funny too and Fraggle Rock which every now and then is still on this station that is like for different stations during the course of the day and then you got kid incorporated and i used to like space cases on nickolodeon too and clarissa explains it all and the original all that on nick and on disney there used to be that morning excercise thing where they had the characters come out that was always funny to laugh at and in the beginning sliders was good and before sliders there was some show that had a dolphin in this submarine but it was based in the distant future but the dolphin could talk and i think somewhere i still have an alf sleeping bag that i got when i was 2 and it had little alf comics and it folded up into like an alf stuffed animal and green hornet was good too and i liked scooby doo and all those old cartoons when the people cared about what they were doing and not how much money they made or at least that is the way it seems when your two or three and you like anything without like kissing or anything boring like the news:D
What about Gumby and then there was this weird show... don't know if anybody else has seen it, but it had these marionettes*(puppets like Pinnocio), and they were like special agents and did all this crime fighting and stuff and it was good and i liked it and stuff... yea. David the Gnome was one of my favorite shows... can't believe I forgot it and Mr. Wizard... he's the bomb. DRY ICE!!

jk2005, the show with the dolphin was called Seaquest DSV, and suike, i thnk the show you're talking about was Stingray, but there were three or four shows like that...and how did i miss David the Gnome???
Also, some anime show called Ronin Warriors back when I was in sixth grade...and Voltron...
And does anyone else remember ExoSquad?
...more to come
Ben Mitchell
20-05-2002, 06:20
I remember Exosquad. The show was interesting because some of the stuff they brought up - love, people dying, etc. were NOT kiddie tuff, it was more of an adult cartoon (at least, that's how I remember it).
I watched it for a while before they pulled the plug:(
My all-time favorite is still David the Gnome, though, that show was awesome!

i love sinfeld, just the sheer idiocy of it makes me laugh, and Spin City (the old one's with Micheal J. Fox). I can't believe they are cancelling it. It isn't the actors' faults. it's bad writing. they refused to change the role of deputy mayor as a new person came in, they just wrote in a different name in the script. how pathetic.
Harrison
21-05-2002, 15:53
Spin City use to be really good...I'm glad around here all the stations still play the ones with MJF...The new guy sucks.
you cant do that on television was pretty funny and so was what would you do and double dare (the original one with mark summers) and that one with like omar gooding and a few other people were the kids did all these crazy things and sometimes they were against their parents and also hey dude and salute your shorts were good shows too
Joe Matt
21-05-2002, 18:34
If you have Digital Cable, you'll be amazed at the shows you watch, saying "This is a great show" only to realize they only made about 2 seasons of it and is 15 years old...
As for old shows, I can't beleve you forgot this one....
Monty Python's Flying Circus.
BBC America baby!

Have to agree David the Knome best show ever. Especially that one when they take you around the Knome village and show you how they made those hats.

I don't remember the slide but I do remember the Pressure Cooker, and I also remember that they were sponsored by Gitano clothing company. The only reason I remember that is because my dad used to make fun of how the announcer said "Gitano and Gitano kids" in a squeaky voice!!
Hey remember Team Knight Rider and Viper?? Those were two more great shows!!

This girl had an alien dad who called her on some orb type thing.
She could stop time by putting her index fingertips together, and then clapping once to resume time.
That was a pretty cool show, if i remember right...

Probably one of the most memorable, and one of my favorite scenes on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air strictly because of the comedic value.
I'll have to practice that version of the dance to that song for competitions this year. :yikes:
