Shows I think should've lasted longer

[Mary Covey]

1. Cafe Americain-1993-1994 NBC
2. Living Dolls-1989-1990 ABC
3. Home Fires-1992 NBC
4. The Family Man-1990-1991 CBS
5. Rags To Riches-1987-1988 NBC
6. Frank's Place-1987-1988 CBS
7. I'll Fly Away-1991-1993 NBC
8. Star Of The Family-1982 ABC
9. I'm A Big Girl Now-1980-1981 ABC
10. I Married Dora-1987-1988 ABC
Except for I'll Fly Away, which my mom watched with me (she and my dad also watched Frank's Place, but I wasn't born yet)I have never watched any of these shows. I read about them in The Complete Directory To Primetime Network and cable TV Shows, 1946-Present. Check it out, and you might see why I thought they should last longer and/or why they were cancelled!

"Ladies Man"???? It was unfunny and boring. I think, its replacement, "Yes, Dear" is MUCH better!

"Freaks and Geeks" was the best new show of last year. It should have been in its second season, just starting a long run on television!

[factsoflife]

actually, you know i just started watching yes, dear and it really is very funny! that mike o'malley is just a riot as jimmy!

Just the ten of us- ABC- 1987-1989, great show, much bettr than the show it spun-off from, GROWING PAINS.

Living Dolls- CBS or ABC- 198?- Halle Berry, Leah Remini as MODELS!

Fired Up- NBC- Sharon Lawrence and Leah Remini, Sharon Lawrence as a high profile exceutiv that losses her job and with the help of her long suffering assistant starts up a new business. it aired in like 1996 or 1997.

Oh, Baby- LIFETIME show from 1999 about a single women that uses artifical incemanation to have a baby! the best friends was played by a brillant actress, i just can't remember her name? the red head?

Nurses (1991-1994)- I thought it was far funnier than Empty Nest and The Golden Girls, which it spun off from.

Taxi (1978-1983)- I think it could have lasted another season.

[Rockapella722]

OMG, Madness, your avatar pic is just a little bit scary... ;)

Brother's Keeper... I kinda remember that. What was that about again?

I think Madigen Men was pretty darn funny....

[IheartMoonlighting]

I fly away was really a good show. but what can you do when a show gets zero ratings.

and i did like savannah too.

[IheartMoonlighting]

Did you know that the usa network shows Fired Up on weekends. check the tv guide. I believe it's on Sat or Sunday at 6 am . I remember watching this show a long time ago. I'm probably going to check it out again.

wow are you a TV guru or what. I love this sort of info. I can't believe, What About Joan had over 10 unaired episodes. and I think The WB made the worst mistake ever by not giving Grosse Pointe another shot. That was a very good show. I never watched Jesse, but I can't believe it only had 42 episodes, seems like it was on the air longer.

[Brian Damage]

Greg the bunny
Family Guy
Clerks(the animated series)
Titus

[alf8mycat]

Oh yeah, Undeclared should have lasted longer. That show was great.

[James]

Here is my list of shows that could have lasted longer:

The Wonder Years (1988-1993, ABC)
Perfect Strangers (1986-1993, ABC)
The Waltons (1972-1981, CBS)
The Brady Bunch (1969-1974, ABC)
Our House (1986-1988, NBC)
Coach (1989-1997, ABC)

[skyforge]

Quark and Police Squad!. (Both 6 episodes only, as I recall.)

[Fonzarelli]

Did no-one here watch the great sitcom 'It's like, you know...' ??? That was hilarious! Too bad it only lasted for 2 seasons!

[SOAPDYNASTY]

DYNASTY 2 THE COLBYS

[¤Graced¤]

Cheers Duh! thats just me saying that, but its a shame thatt didnt go on. If only You know who wouldnt want to end it, Cheers could of gone on to mayvbe about 13 seasons. Personally I couldnt write 2 eps of a sitcom that took place in bar. LOL

[AdiTheGame]

". Personally I couldnt write 2 eps of a sitcom that took place in bar"

It is pretty hard to write for Cheers. Personally, you watch the episodes over and over again until it echos into your brain, you sort of get the feel for what the characters would say. Trust me.

SHOWS I THINK SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER...

Ned & Stacey
Veronica's Closet
Leap of Faith
Emeril
Jesse
Inside Schwartz
Three Sisters (maybe)
Wings (should have lasted one or two more years)
Taxi (could have gone two or three more)
Cheers (should go on forever)
Seinfeld (one more year)
Cosby
The Cosby Mysteries
Brother's Keeper
On Our Own
Friends (should be a tenth!)
Frasier (on forever! Eleven is way too little)
Family Matters (should have lasted longer on CBS)
Two Of A Kind
The Weber Show (I LOVE THIS SHOW!)
The Geena Davis Show
Bette
I Love Lucy (why only six years?)
Gilligan's Island (ended way too soon, 250+ episodes would have been a definite if not for Gunsmoke)

That's all I can think of right now.

[Crimson and Clover]

Freaks and Geeks
Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour
Roswell

[webuster]

There are a few shows I think should of lasted Longer.

Bette- Bette Midlers show should've lasted longer, the guest stars and comedy was great, one season wasnt enough. Apparently Bette started firing people and the show went downhill.

Ellen- Ellen could've had a few more years if the lesbian content was toned down, six seasons was good but not enough. Sponsors didn't want the show after Ellen came out, and Ellen was having a miniature nervous breakdown.

The Ellen Show- Ellen DeGeneres comeback was underappreciated, a better cast could've improved it, well, Ellen DeGeneres is said to be getting a Variety Show, from the creators of Rosie O'Donnells show amognst others, that should work out, however I doubt it will show in The Uk.

Cybill- DEFINITELY should have lasted longer, what went wrong?The show was great, great comedy and great actors, and they went ahead and ended it with a Cliffhanger- damn them!

Moonlighting- Could've done another 3 years. I know Moonlighting was a comedy at sometimes, but that final episode was NOT a good way to end Moonlighting. Bruce and Cybill supposedly fought, and Cybill was always taking breaks.

Third Rock From The Sun- There was so much more that could've been dne in the show.

SO FROM NOW ON NETWORK EXECUTIVES SHOULD ASK THE PUBLIC FIRST- STOP CANCELLING SHOWS SO MUCH!

:mad:

[nimrod_86]

I really liked the show "Baby Blues" on WB, which only aired 5 episodes.

[mister bluster]

Yes to I'm a Big Girl Now, Life with Lucy (and anything with Lucy in it), Perfect Strangers, Bosom Buddies, Cosby (I loved Madeline Kahn too), the Cosby Mysteries, George and Leo, Coach, Baby Blues, and Just the Ten of Us, as well as Car 54 Where Are You, ...Dobie Gillis, Pete and Gladys, Top Cat, Maude, Benson, Alice, Three's Company, The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, Soul Man, and Mama's Family.

I also agree that Yes Dear is hilarious.

[mister bluster]

Baby Bob was good while it lasted too.

[Janice]

Although it wasn't a sitcom, I loved the hospital drama, Gideon's Crossing, with Andre Braugher from two seasons ago. The show was so well-written, the characters each unique in their own way. It had very good storylines. My husband I watched this for the entire season, and we just couldn't believe when it was cancelled. It bothered us. We felt invested in the show, and puff, it was over.

[Notorious]

One last show I have to add to my list!:

Dark Shadows
~Do you know how awesome it would be if this was still on air?! It would be the best thing ever!

[Central Perk]

I sort of wish "My Adventures in Television" was still on the air. It wasn't that good but it had a good concept, I think ABC should have brought in new writers to try to make it better.

[Stormtracker TF]

The Powers That Be (1992? - 1993?)
Tabitha (1977)
Joanie Loves Chachi. (1982)

[AITF & ABP ROCK!!]

These are my choices:


1) Archie Bunker's Place: CBS - 1979 to 1983

CBS could have gave us another season of ABP, but no they thought the time was right to end it. Not even a finale was made!!!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2) Gloria: CBS - 1982 to 1983

I remember watching this show in syndication a long time ago and I thought it was good show. It was cancelled only because Archie Bunker's Place was cancelled.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Just The Ten Of Us: ABC - 1988 to 1990

I used to watch this show all the time. I think it could have gone on for another 2 seasons.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


4) The Powers That Be: NBC - 1992 to 1993

This was one of the funniest shows I ever watched when I was little. This definately could have ran for at least five seasons.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


5) The Golden Palace: CBS - 1992 to 1993


This was an okay show, but it could never have lived up to The Golden Girls, but it could have ran longer in my opinion.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


4) The Powers That Be: NBC - 1992 to 1993

This was one of the funniest shows I ever watched when I was little. This definately could have ran for at least five seasons.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


5) The Golden Palace: CBS - 1992 to 1993


This was an okay show, but it could never have lived up to The Golden Girls, but it could have ran longer in my opinion.

I just started watching 3rd Rock in syndication, and I agree, they could have gotten a lot more situations out of it. That Dick was hilarious.

Bluster, tell you the truth I was thrilled to see Third Rock get the ax (despite my strong fondness for Sally). I hated the way the public accepted that show after they spit on Mork and Mindy just 15 years earlier as being farfetched and stupid. We have no encountered no high, inteligent life forms in the universe between the time M+M was cancelled and Third Rock began. Just to be completely fair they did find super primitive life on Mars in '96 but it was so primitive it gave Third Rock a lousy 1% credibility bit over Mork. Not much at all and hardly worth considering. An injustice by viewers was indeed done with TRFTS.

I liked "Daddy Dearest",but it didn't last long at all:(

I LOVED Mork and Mindy and still do, especially when Mork laid the egg and hatched Jonathan Winters. I didn't figure either show was supposed to be realistic, just screwball, sci-fi comedy, and I love screwball comedy. I know that fungus or whatever it was they found on Mars didn't amount to a hill of beans. If there is anything like people anywhere besides earth, I'm sure it's not in our solar system. It's just fun stuff to imagine.

I can only come up with a couple now. I know many shows that only lasted 1 or 2 seasons should have ran longer, and many of you mentioned some great ones. Personally, I think St. Elsewhere could have gone longer. It did run for 6 seasons, but supposedly it was axed, not because of ratings (because the ratings were never great to begin with), but because of a demand for more money. Sucks. I would have liked to see at least 1 more year.

And I wish more episodes of Mama's Family were made to be aired on NBC. It only had 30 some episodes on the network before it went into syndication a year later, and I don't care for those episodes nearly as well. (Betty White and Rue McClanahan, who were on the original went to Golden Girls a year later, so any further episodes made for NBC with them would have only lasted another season, but that would have been better than nothing.)

I think...

The Ropers should've lasted longer...
