Older TV Shows
 

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?

1) MacGyver!!!!!!!!!!
2) The A-Team
3) The Fall Guy (remember that?)

Also Lost in Space! That plays on Sci-fi channel and I know someone who has them all on tape so I can watch that anytime I want!!

A-Team
MacGuyver
Quantum Leap.
Night Rider

M*A*S*H

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.

The shows that I miss would be like Punky Brewster, the Smurfs, Fraggle Rock, Clarissa Explains It All, Secret World Of Alex Mack, Mickey Mouse Club, Quantom Leap, and other shows like that.:)

I miss this show that used to be on Nickelodeon called Space Cases...also I missed Married with Children...and Seinfield...

i don't watch much tv anymore, but when i do i love the a team, seinfield, and (event though it's not cancelled) the simpsons

The A-Team - B.A. Barracus, Murdock, Hannibal Smith, and Face
Knight Rider - Michael Knight and K.I.T.T.
MacGyver - MacGyver and Pete
The Dukes of Hazzard - Bo and Luke Duke

A-Team, Knight Rider, Macguyver, Quantum Leap, Airwolf (the helicopter show), Miami Vice, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies, and Perfect Strangers.

ALF
 

One of my favorites has to be ALF.

I remember watching it when i was young, but i dont remember quite all of the show and i kinda wish they would bring it back...

I miss Jem.
Truly Truly Truly Outrageous!

Macgyver, Quantum Leap, Star Trek TOS & TNG, Muppet Babies... and Captain N...and Zelda...pretty much all the cartoons they made out of the old Nintendo games.

i've two words for ya, and they're both pete. :p

Some more old one's

Small Wonder aka Jess LOL
Mr. Belvedere
Sliders
Mr. Rogers LOL
Remember Pee-Wee's playhouse??? LOL
And last but not least, Soon to be X-Files (that sucks)

Now for Cartoons,
M.A.S.K.
Scooby Doo!
Transformers and thier rip off partners the Go-Bots
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

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 ........

I liked Macgyver when i was little, and MASH too,

But the best of all time:

DAVID THE GNOME

That show ruled, the pointy hats, his pet fox, Swift...man, those were the days...

Yes! Batman! Zap! Pow! Kerblam!

WHO YA GONNA CALL!!!:p

These shows are only on thanks to Cartoon Network, but i love the old Road Runner and Wild E. Coyote shows. They crack me up, and all thoes older cartoons, not the newer ones. They suck. :D

SMURFS!!!
 

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!!

I Pity the Foo who don't love the A-Team, Sucka! :D
Knight Rider
The Muppet Show
Dukes of Hazard

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

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!

what about this show???



best show ever right there!

and we all know the girls watched seaquest DSV for this boy:



well i did at least :)

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.

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.

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!

hey jon i believe that was Wild And Crazy Kids. Salute Your Shorts was awsome! now how many other shows did you like? :D (yes i'm gonna bug you about that, only cuz in your words i'm "odd")

Yeah Exosquad was awesome with those suits that plugged into the back of your head.

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.

ahhhhhh!

Massive 80's early 90's flashbacks! Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!

david the gnome is a god...omg...flashbacks of when i used to be babysat...and old school nickolodeon...haha :D

hey, isn't it Mr T's b-day today? or was it yesterday? oh well, he's like, 50 now, and doing those AT&T commercials. Yay for Mr T! :p

Remember Punky Brewster???? The actress who played her is on Sabrina the Teenage Witch now!!! I had the biggest crush on her when I was younger!!

Also Does anyone remember Funhouse. It was like Double Dare and Guts!

Funhouse...
Such fond memories......

That was a great show. How can you forget the old slide they had?

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!!

C'mon, the good shows!
 

Here are some of my favorites as a kid. I know that this dates me... but, oh well:

Mork and Mindy
Gilligan's Island
Brady Bunch
Lost in Space
Happy Days
Magnum PI
Fantasy Island
Love Boat
Benson
Buck Rogers, the series

and my favorite as a kid:
The 6 Million Dollar Man

I loved the Sewer place. That was cool. It was like a ball pit with water and dry ice in it. Very cool. As you can guess, I like cryogenics.

i remember when i was little watching reruns of mork and mindy that was another funny show and sharon i keep going and going just like the energizer bunny :D :D

yes but all batteries eventually die, that includes the ones that power the energizer bunny. so when that day comes, battery girl will laugh at you.:p

koala bear show
 

does anyone remember that show with the two koala bears named pinky and blinky? i think it was on either right after or right before david the gnome on nickelodeon. i know a lot of people that remember this show, but NO ONE can remember the name of it! please help! :confused:

How about the nick-at-nite spy spoof, Get Smart? Man, I used to love that show. Remember the bubble they always tried to use? :)

NOOZLES!!!!!!! I belive that was the name of the koala bear show. Hehe I have one of the videos. :D

Someone mentioned they liked smurfs... I while back, I was just randomly surfing and I came accross Smurfs of the 90's. A few pics :D :




Ahh, don't you just love it when your sweet childhood meetings are butchered according to modern societial standards?

Does anyone remember a show where an alien was exhiled to Earth as some kind of punishment and he has this little floating eyeball creature that followed him around and acted as a conscience.

It's not ALF. Although I do remember an ALF episode where he was being attacked by a giant cockroach.

Does anyone remember the Tomorrow People?

hey, get smart. that was the one with the guy who had the shoe phone, my school did the play last year

There was a show called 'Out of This World'

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:
Now I just have to find someone to throw. LOL
