Shows they should bring back

[Kia]

I was looking at a list of all these old shows from when I was a mini Kia and there are some really good ones on here.

http://www.80s.com/Entertainment/TV/directory.html

Bring back Fraggle Rock, The Greatest American Hero (at least for the kick ass theme song), and Fantasy Island!

What shows would you want to bring back?

Kia

[SnatchWrangler]

The A-Team (Hopefully they won't cheese it up like they did the Starsky and Hutch movie.)

Family Guy (Thankfully, they did.)

All the in the Family and the good old fashioned Transformers, Ghostbusters, and Ninja Turtles. None of this new shit.

- Arkans

[Sean of the Thread]

The new transformers sux.

My list. (in no particular order)

Fall guy
A-Team
Transformers
GI mutha fukin Joe
Robo-Tech

All in the Family (not sure how it would be without Carrol.)
On that note who would you cast as Archie? I'm gonna think about it for awhile.

Bah there are too many to list. TV used to be good before I had cable.

George Castanza or Tom Sizemore.

Ah old Sgt Horvath would rock actually. I saw him crying like a baby on court tv the other day however. That pick has trumped all my ideas so far.. for now.

[Wezas]

MacGyver

or at least move forward on the "Young MacGyver" series that was hinted at.

[Jorddyn]

I want Animaniacs back.

Jorddyn

[Jolena]

Mash

Shirt tails

Welcome back Kotter

Roseanne

Cosby



That's all I can think of right now, although there is this law show that used to be on with Blaire Underwood in it and now I can't remember the name. I used to love that show though.

I just watched an episode the other day. I used to love that show as a kid but found it rather comical now. Especially after watching SG-1 for so long.

[Kia]

Do you guys remember Dr. Who?

That was a screwy ass show. I was pretty little when it was on, but I still remember it being very strange.

LA Law?

Yep! (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005516/)

Jorddyn

[Jolena]

LA LAW! Yay you rock Jorddyn! Yep I loved that show.

And yes, I remember Dr. Who. I also remember watching the twilight zone in it's black and white form. I remember the introduction of Nickelodean also.. gods, I have to stop I am now feeling very VERY old and wrinkly or something. :scared:

[Jolena]

And holy cow, Blair has the same birthday as me! Only yeah..9 years earlier. hehe. I'm not THAT old yet damnit.

I miss "You Can't Do That on Television."

Jorddyn

[Tsunami]

Shazam! Hehe, just kidding...although it was entertaining as a kid.

Hmm, lets see....
Gilligan's Island...oh wait..theres now Lost

Mash

St. Elsewhere

The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Hour

The Superfriends...the original X-Men ;)

[Jolena]

I miss the original Candid Camera shows they would broadcast from time to time. And..American Bandstand. There were a lot of things I used to watch as a kid that aren't around anymore except maybe on the TVLand thing.

I still watch M.A.S.H. a couple times a week. Good humor. I don't think I would like a remake however as the original is just too good.

[Edited on 5-11-2005 by Xyelin]

[Divinity]

Reboot!

[Doyle Hargraves]

Welcome back Carter

That would be Welcome Back Kotter (which rocks btw)

Bring back Alf and Cheers.

[Edited on 5-11-2005 by Doyle Hargraves]

[DCSL]

The Paw Paws
Popples
She-Ra and He-Man
Transformers
The Real Ghostbusters (It was funnier!)
Rocko's Modern Life
Count Duckula
Danger Mouse
Hey Dude
Salute Your Shorts
Legends of the Hidden Temple
Eerie Indiana
Jem

Looking back at this list makes me realize that I was really raised by Nickelodeon.

[Jolena]

Oh snap. Forgot all about Cheers. That show was so awesome. Even when they had the audacity to get rid of Coach, marry off the psychiatrist and get rid of Dianne with whatsherface, that Alley chick who now has that Fat Actress show.

[Jorddyn]

:yes: for Alf and Jem!



Even when they had the audacity to get rid of Coach,

Er, the guy who played him died. They didn't have much choice there, unless they went all Weekend at Bernie's.


Jorddyn

[Jolena]

ewww, okay so I didn't know that and now feel dumb. My bad. :prays to the dead coach guy for forgiveness:

[Doyle Hargraves]

Woody was about the best replacement you could get though.

And Cliff's Jeopardy answer was correct. He got screwed.

"Who are 2 people that have never been in my kitchen?"

[Edited on 5-11-2005 by Doyle Hargraves]

[ElanthianSiren]

The original voltron force -- black lion was the shit!

Dungeons and Dragons, animated series.

Robotech - yes! :)

You can't do that on television -- eeeeaahhhh posters got a point there Valarie!

Pinky and the Brain

Absolutely Fabulous

(and various other things I haven't thought of)

-Melissa

[Jolena]

Forgot to mention a few:

Beauty and the Beast-- dunno how many of you remember that show but it was not animated. It was totally different storyline really, very well done and the man who played the Beast was the same actor who played Freddie in all of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

Barney Miller-- oldie but goodie cop show.

Bosom Buddies-- Funny as hell, if any of you remember. Two guys who lived in an all girls apartment building, disguised as two females. Very young Tom Hanks.

Benson

China Beach--parents made me watch it but after a bit I really liked it.

Moonlighting-- early Bruce Willis and hilarious.

Fantasy Island-- "Da plane! Da Plane!" hehe. Lil' tattoo.

Golden Girls-- sad, I know but I like this show.

The Jeffersons-- movin on up!

Laverne and Shirley-- who couldn't love Squiggy?

Mork and Mindy-- Nanoo Nanoo!

Miami Vice-- Juuuust kidding hehe.

Can't really include SNL but back when I was watching it, people like Bill Murray, etc. were still on it. I miss that type of comedy.

WKRP in Cincinnati-- hehe The Dr. is in!

Night Rider.

Ron Perlman played the beast, Robert Englund played Freddie......god my mind is filled with so much useless crap.

I agree with Beauty and the Beast. When I grew up, I wanted to marry a guy like Vincent.

The one where there was a serial killer running around torching the homeless people scared the crap out of me; I was like... five, and I remember.

-Melissa

[hectomaner]

hey dude
salute your shorts
you can't do that on television
fraggle rock

banana man
captain n

[SayGoodbye]

The adventures of Pete and Pete

[ElanthianSiren]

bananna man made me think of danger mouse!

he's the fastest;
he's the quickest;
he's the beeeeeeeeeeest!

-Melissa

[Vixen]

Ditto on all the nickelodeon shows already mentioned, I was majorly in love with them.
And I am too lazy to scroll up and see who listed the Paw Paws, but whoever you are, I love you.
Also
the Shirt Tales
Ren and Stimpy
Farscape (cause the damn mini movie wasnt enough)
And I am sure I'll think of more later

Married with Children

[Ylena]

The Courtship of Eddie's Father. Loved loved loved how cute Eddie was, and Bill Bixby was freaking hot.

My World and Welcome to It. Probably the best show EVER. Only lasted for one season, starred William Windom and was based on James Thurber cartoons/short works. I'd kill for a DVD set of the episodes.

[Czeska]

Just after skimming.. Definitely Pinky and the Brain.

[Parkbandit]

Seinfeld

Sports something.. it was a comedy about the behind the scenes of an ESPN type network.

Can't remember the name of the show.. but it was about this guy that would go back in time in another person's body and would right a wrong. The main character now plays the Captain in "Enterprise"

[The Korean]

Quantum Leap.

[Asha]

Shocking.
The first thing I thought of was dungeons and dragons cartoon.
The first thing I see is exactly that. So I have nothing to add.

[TheRoseLady]

Forever Knight

[Asha]

Strange luck.

[Sean of the Thread]

It's one of my favorites. Still watch it on sci-fi. I like Sliders now too as it reminds me of it a bit.

[HarmNone]

Mmm. There are some really good ones listed here. Loved Beauty and the Beast, Quantum Leap and Forever Knight! Now, I rarely watch TV, but if those came back, I just might be forced to do so. :)

[Doyle Hargraves]

Three's Company. Best show ever.

[Eviltwinpsu]

duck tales
sliders
news radio
futurama
greg the bunny

[Latrinsorm]

Reboot: yes.
Sports Night: yes. That Natalie chick was *hawt*.
Mystery Science Theater 3000: I can't believe I'm the first person to mention this.
WCW Nitro/Thunder: I miss Sting.

[HarmNone]

Being a dyed in the wool Trekkie, I really miss all the Star Trek series, as well. I loved them; although, I really couldn't get into Enterprise. I also enjoyed StarGate.

[Snapp]

Wow, lots of memories here. I loved all the Nickelodeon shows too. My list:

Hey Dude
Animaniacs
Pinky & The Brain
Roseanne
Golden Girls
Sliders

[HarmNone]

Golden Girls was a really cute show, too. The characterizations were very well done. The character played by Betty White drove me up a wall! Anybody that stupid really needs to be shot, just to put her out of everybody else's misery. ;)

:cry:

I loved Betty White's character. She's my grandma, only slightly exaggerated.

Jorddyn

[HarmNone]

Hee! My daughter loved her, too. However, she hated the old "mama" character. It's really funny, and shows a lot of great character building, how the characters bring out a different reaction in different people. :)

[Doyle Hargraves]

Mystery Science Theater 3000: I can't believe I'm the first person to mention this.

Me either. That show rocks.

Another pick:

Night Court

[Edited on 5-12-2005 by Doyle Hargraves]

[longshot]

Most of mine are from cable...

"Mr. Show with Bob and David"
-David Cross at his best

"Dream on"
-Old HBO. What "mind of the married man" tried so hard, and failed so miserably to be.

"Action"
-I think there was only 1 season, but it was fantastic.

[HarmNone]

Ohh! I remember enjoying a couple of British series, as well. Fawlty Towers and To the Manor Born were really great!

[Doyle Hargraves]

Forgot to add Monty Python's Flying Circus.

I never got into Enterprise either, but I love Scott Bakula. I'll stick with QL reruns. However, I do watch Voyager on DVD. Love my Netflix. It allows me to geek out in the privacy of my home.

Oh crap.. on topic umm..
Just Shoot Me

[Leetahkin]

Fraggle Rock
Ren and Stimpy
Three's Company
Ask Dr. Ruth :lol:

[Back]

Alive From Off-Center. Man that was a great show. PBS series that showcased art projects and or artists. That stuff used to trip me out hard-core.

I believe the first two seasons are on DVD now.

I have season one. Definately an awesome show.

Another one I miss watching when I was younger but only had a short run (looks like 6 episodes) is Nightmare Cafe (http://imdb.com/title/tt0103502/)

[Kia]

Twin Peaks!!

Bring back the dancing midget who talked backwards! He's on Carnivale (awesome show) now and he rules.

Actually, I think they filmed it with the entire script being backwards and then played it backwards so it would be forwards.

Okay, that didn't make any sense, but I know what I'm saying :P

Kia

[The Cat In The Hat]

Battlestar Galactica

Wonder Woman

Battle Of The Planets

She-Ra

I would say the Dukes Of Hazzard, but they're already ruining that with jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke.

[Skirmisher]

[HouseofElves]

I second Dex's list. I can't believe you remembered legend of the lost temple. That is like my first TV memory, I LOVED that show.

I'd also add Zelda the animated series. That was sexy.

[Some Rogue]

The Muppet Show


Ha, just saw White Shadow on that list, that show was great.

The only thing I remember from that was when Link was turned into a frog-man or something and went to find the wall with no end, and the wall CLEARLY had an end. That pissed me off a lot (at age 4 or whatever I was) and to this day I have a deep, virulent distrust of walls.

I've never watched the new one. Never had a desire to since 9/10 times the remakes suck balls.

Ya know, I know it was really predictible and stuff, but I always liked Three's Company. The early Chrissy Snow ones. They always had a misunderstanding that lead to a catastrophy that they somehow managed to fix before the show ended. But I always had fun watching it when I was younger, and occasionally now on Nick At Night.

[Toxicvixen]

My List:

Count Duckula
Hey Dude
Jem
La Femme Nikita
Forever Knight
The adventures of Pete and Pete
Loveline (I still occasionally listen to it on the Radio)
