What TV Show Would YOU Bring Back?

[JimG.]

Solid Gold

Dance Fever

Hey, I still watch "Soul Train".

 

[noski]

This is a fun trip thru memory lane. Shows of my formative years I always watched (we got 2 channels) were Laugh In, Wild Wild West, always Wild Kingdom, Gentle Ben, Skippy (remember those?), Flipper, Gilligan's Island. I was always fond of Mary Tyler Moore show.

How could I have forgotten Laugh In and Wild Wild West? And of course we watched the Ed Sullivan show on Sundays.

I watched all the others too, but Skippy isn't ringing a bell. What was that show about?

Skippy

I watched all the others too, but Skippy isn't ringing a bell. What was that show about?

I am going to wait and see if anyone else remembers. It is in the same era as Gentle Ben and Lassie (when she was a ranger's dog). Then I will tell you....

Of those I listed, I would bring back Wild Wild West and Laugh In. Many of the shows mentioned can be found somewhere on the satellite/cable networks.

Seinfeld, Seinfeld, Seinfeld!



Also been watching a lot of Gunsmoke lately... I get the Wild West channel free for six months because I just signed on with Charter give me all your money now Cable.

I don't know why but Gunsmoke is just addicting.

Laugh In, def. from the few shows I've seen.

I also used to love watching reruns of the Carol Burnett show.

Def. Cosby show.

And Perfect Strangers. That was another fav.

 

[noski]

one I forgot

others of my favorites, the original Mission Impossible, and of course, Star Trek. I remember back in the 60's- Kukla, Fran & Ollie. Anyone remember that show? 1pm on Saturday afternoon.

Carol Burnett

I also used to love watching reruns of the Carol Burnett show.

Classic: Harvey Corman and Tim Conway in any skit, but most memorably the Dentist chair. I am laughing just thinking about it. No takers on Skippy yet?

 

[ctenidae]

Rat Patrol 9just sprung to mind. I always like the one guy's hat. Very snappy.

Rat Patrol was good. I hadn't thought of that one in a long time.

Mchale's Navy, F-Troop-(The Acowees killed me), Then Came Bronson

Now here's a different question: if you could make a sitcom or show about AlpineZone, who would you select to be cast and who would be the actors selected? What genre?

 

[tjd]

Step Away from the Remote

None.

I turned off broadcast TV in the mid 80s and never looked back! When I turned off the TV, Hill Street Blues was still running.

So I have to answer - None.

Now here's a different question: if you could make a sitcom or show about AlpineZone, who would you select to be cast and who would be the actors selected? What genre?

mmm....can I just have a walk-on cameo, no lines? I would do it for free. If an actor had to play me, I think....don knotts. I am with skis as Barney was with a gun. The genre would be irrelevent. Who would play you, Trailboss?

 

[smitty77]

Oh wow, some great memories...

I've gotten back into Dukes of Hazzard recently. CMT, 7pm weeknights. The little one asks after dinner: "Dukes car? Dukes car? Waaahhhh hooooo."

Other faves that should be in perpetual syndication:
- SOAP (watched this religiously on Com.Central in college)
- Benny Hill (same as above, one half hour later)
- MST3k (same as above, Saturday afternoons)
- Dukes of Hazzard (before the cheesy jump scenes using plastic models)
- A-Team
- CHiPS
- Emergency (did they use 1 amp of sodium bi-carb in every episode?)
- Seinfeld
- Knight Rider
- The Muppet Show

I'm sure I'll think of others.

H.R. Puffnstuff - I did not realize that the shows dated back to the 70's. I bought the DVD, "The World of Sid and Marty Krofft".



Seinfeld - I keep buying the DVD's as they release 'em.

 

[zowi420]

MST3K, for sure; "Get a Life", with Chris Elliot; Does anyone remember an overdubbed Japanese monster show called "UltraMan"?

 

[blacknblue]

Now here's a different question: if you could make a sitcom or show about AlpineZone, who would you select to be cast and who would be the actors selected? What genre?

I would have to cast myself as Kevin from "Wonder Years" just b/c we have the same name, were the same age, and have amazing other similarities. The show was my life, had I not been raised in rural Vermont. Right down to the incredibly awkward relationships with females.

 

[bvibert]

- Emergency (did they use 1 amp of sodium bi-carb in every episode?)

Yes, at least once an episode I think. Must be good stuff!

"Get a Life", with Chris Elliot

Good show, I forgot about that one! I can still hear the theme song in my head...

 

[riverc0il]

i haven't had television in about five years, but i do occasionally netflix a tv series DVD if it looks interesting. adventures of brisco county jr and my so called life were two of the best short lived shows of the 90s back when i watched tv.

 

[BeanoNYC]

Greatest American Hero .... enough said.

I remember H.R puffin Stiff. I was scared of that show as a kid.
