M*A*S*H (Thx a LOT Global for replacing "Prime" with "TV Crapolis"* and sending M*A*S*H to the digital pay channel :mad: ) *TV Tropolis, actually!

Make a Wish- simply the best children's program EVER (But an adult could appreciate just as much)

That Girl

Woody Woodpecker show- The segments with Walter Lanz were a lot
of fun

Jacques Cousteau specials

Mean Business- A new years special on the strip clubs of Toronto :lol:

Hopefully your PBS station will run that if they run British comedies. I wish mine would air May to December. I haven't seen that in forever.

Other shows would be:
Gimme A Break
Webster
Newhart
Dynasty
That Girl
Silver Spoons
Valerie/The Hogan Family (I wish ABC Family would air this show all the way through at least ONCE)

Too bad you don't get Hallmark, TV Land or eventually in the fall ION, since they are all airing the show at some point.

I agree with this one. I had the feeling I was leaving a show off my list.

Empty Nest
Adam-12
Simon & Simon - (Since I can't get the Slueth channel, hopefully someone else besides TV Land runs this show all the way through at least once and at least past S1.)
Hill Street Blues - (I only have copies of about 4 eps. post-1982 burned onto CD's and I didn't see this show on a regular basis when it was last reran)
St. Elsewhere - (I saw it a few times when I was flipping through channels on Bravo and I wish this show gets reran on a regular basis again).
Chico and the Man - Only saw it on special marathons
"CHiPs" - Last time i saw this show regularly was on TBS in the wee hours of the morning in the early 2000s.

Brotherly Love (I downloaded most of season 2 but would love to get the four eps I'm missing from season 2 and season 1.)
Run of The House (Once again, I have a few episodes but not all. Short-lived WB show that didnt get the credit it deserved.)
Everwood (Seasons 2-4 that never came to DVD)
Raising Dad

I feel I'm forgetting a lot, lmao.

I haven't seen these shows in almost 8 years. It's time they return to TV:

Empty Nest (Lifetime can easily acquire the show and put it alongside it's parent show, Golden Girls. No offense, but Still Standing and Reba have simply not enough episodes to keep rotating in like four hour time slots every day.)

Blossom(ABC Family would give me a reason to watch again. The show would fit well with almost any of the sitcoms currently on the network.)

Petticoat Junction(TVLand now has the Beverly Hillbillies and also has Green Acres. Why not add this one to the mix?)

77 Sunset Strip!

Saw maybe 10 episodes a LONG time ago. Fantastic pre-James Bond action/thriller; witty and quite amazingly suspenseful.

To friendsfan77: yeah, well, the PBS station they relay here does NOT show Yes Minister. Nor do we get most of these rerun American cable channels. And Canadian TV is wa-a-a-y too serious to do simple entertainment well.
(i'd love to put a smilie here, but it's hard to find the right one! :) )

there's another good one I forgot about. I'd love to see this. I agree with the sentiments about SS and Reba. I love Reba but it's not neccessary to air the show as much as they do.

REALLY going to reveal my age, here, with my selections:

Non-sitcoms:

Have Gun Will Travel
Wanted Dead or Alive
Rawhide
Cisco Kid {and Pancho....LOL! Have to include him}.....Now this would be a
show that I would NOT want to view on a
regular basis if presented the opportunity. It
would be great for a few laughs! Plenty of
camera "sped-up" fast action "low-branching"
falls from horses in a pile of dust, knock down
drag out brawls, etc. The stunt men for that
show certainly didn't starve. However, the
acting absolutely stunk on ice, but great
therapy for saddness! Ridiculously humorous!

The Adventures of Superman
Batman
The Invaders {starring Roy Thinnis}
The Outer Limits
Wise Guy
Midnight Caller
The Equalizer


Comedy:

The Three Stooges {18 minute episodes...although I have every one on DVD}


Sitcoms:

Hogan's Heroes
WKRP in Cincinnati

Mine would be:

Hazel
Dennis the Menace
Newhart
(remember when BBC America had britcoms weekend afternoons)
Only Fools and Horses
Dad's Army
Some Mothers do 'ave them
Britta's Empire
Dinnerladies


And Yes Minister was great

Updating my list:
Mr. Belvedere - (I loved that theme song! Haven't seen it in almost 20 years now.)
Mannix - (I've only seen 2 eps. and I think I have one S1 ep. burned to CD from the second episode. Surprised that this show didn't make the Me-TV skeds.)
Newhart (1980s) - (Mostly eps. from S2-S4 and haven't seen this version in a long while).

Well, I'm sure Animals(3) was a fine show (I never watched it), but, the thing is, it replaced Make a Wish, which was simply the greatest children's/teens TV show, in history, EVER......so, a pox on it! :lol:
