Childofmary, I 100% agree with you about The District!!! I LOVED! LOVED! LOVED! that show. 👍

Same with the PP who said Bernie Mac. I watch the reruns whenever I am able and they are too funny and true. Great Show! 👍
 
Another one for FIREFLY
that show had everything 🙂 Space Cowboys!

And I cant believe nobody has mentioned The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
By far the best show ever!
 
I finally got “Fame” on DVD… man, I lived for that show when I was in high school!

My husband misses “The Young Riders” and Merlin Olsen tried a few series that were family friendly–“Father Murphy” and “Aaron’s Way”–that were pretty good.

But I really miss “Early Edition”! Anyone remember that one? (And what WAS the cat’s name anyway? I know they mentioned it once!:confused: )
 
The 1980’s/1990s variety show IN LIVING COLOR,
was the funniest show I have ever seen in my life.
Every week was a riot and a half. The Wayans Brothers.
Jim Carrey (Fire Marshall Bill), Jamie Foxx (Wanda the Ugly Girl), etc. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. That one was one of a kind.
 
Oh, I thought of another one: Andy Richter Can’t Lose was a hilarious series that was tragically short.

ETA: See it was on for so short a time, I can’t even remember its name right! It was Andy Richter Controls the Universe, not to be confused with Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, another short but sweet series.

Just Shoot Me was one of the funniest shows EVER!!! I don’t really like sit-coms, but that one had me every week.

Anyone remember the episode with: Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pieeee!!

Fire Marshall Bill is one of the funniest characters I’ve ever seen. When he would throw back his head and cackle like an animated skull, just prior to igniting some new inferno(‘Let me show ya somethin!’), I would almost wet myself from laughing so hard. Thank goodness for DVD!

Another show I loved and that was cancelled almost before it got started was Brooklyn Bridge, about a Jewish family in postwar New York. It was a great mix of comedy and drama and had a wonderful cast(Marion Ross was the matriarch). Unfortunately, despite a great outcry from fans and after a few abortive attempts to resuscitate it, CBS allowed this light to abruptly go out. Another good candidate for DVD.

I would like to see a re-run or two of my mother’s favorite show, “I Remember Mama”, or sometimes just called, “Mama”. Unfortunately, I don’t think they were taped because tape didn’t exist then!

I was in the play I Remember Mama in HS. It was a great play!

Cat was only ever referred to as “Cat” or “Snow’s Cat” on show, but in the script he was referred to as “Carl”.

Anybody used to watch Automan? with “Cursor”

Brisco County Jr. was the best.

What was the old show where a family went into a pyramid and somehow travelled to other places or times, can’t remember which.

My hubby and I used to know when a show would be cancelled soon. If we really liked it, it wouldn’t last long.

Would that be “Land of the Lost”? Brings back memories as well as the theme song! And the evil Slestacks? Ooooh…scary…and SO realistic! 😉

No… oh well, perhaps someday I’ll remember.
 
the witty humor of Arrested Development! is just not on tv right now. It seems like everything besides American Idol or stuff on CBS is tanking or getting bad ratings right now. NBC, MY TV, and CW are getting really bad ratings. Since dvds of tv shows came out all there are alot of brillant but cancelled tv shows.
 
I loved Arrested Development!!!

I LOVED Andy Richter Controls the Universe! I actually met Irene Molloy once, who played Wendy the receptionist. She’s from my area. It was around Christmas time, I was with my brothers in Gamestop, and noticed her, only I thought she was a friend of my sisters, so I waved and smiled, and went over to talk to her, and was face to face before I realized it wasn’t Heather - and of course her name flew out of my head 😊 But I told her I really enjoyed her work on Andy Richter and Grosse Point High, and she was very gracious 🙂
