If there was a channel that aired short lived tv shows (lasting no longer than two full seasons), what shows would you want to see on this network? Here is my list:

Square Peqs

Get a Life

Grady

Working

Working Stiffs

Police Squad (though I have all of the episode on tape, the back ground music for certain scenes on the Paramount home video version is different then the original broadcast version)

Me and the Boys

Cop Rock (though I might get sick of the show after a while)

Off the top of my head, some one or two season shows...

The Ropers, Three's a Crowd, Teachers Only, One in a Million, Checking In, Sanford, Sanford Arms, Grady, Gloria, 704 Hauser, The Dumplings, The Royal Family, The Trouble With Larry, Tabitha, Thunder Alley, Family Dog, She's the Sheriff, Blansky's Beauties, Who's Watching the Kids?, Joanie Loves Chachi, Out of the Blue, Fish, Filthy Rich, Babes, Baby Talk, Bridget Loves Bernie, His & Hers, Have Faith, Life With Lucy ... and some shows that lasted more than 2 seasons: Hearts Afire, Hooperman and Anything But Love.

I hope I didn't miss anything.

Looks like this thread was posted twice. I posted my answers (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?s=&postid=1612347#post1612347) in the thread (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=104989) on the Spin-offs and One Year Wonders board.

You must have watched Working Stiffs when it originally aired.

Pav you forgot to add That's My Mama to your List.

Mine would be the following:

The Brady Brides
The Brady Bunch Variety Hour
The Bradys
Our House

Party Girl
Townies
Clerks
Titus (2 1/2 seasons)
Soul Man
Monty
The George Wendt Show
The George Carlin Show
The Building
The Bonnie Hunt Show

There's a million more. It would truely be the greatest channel ever.

"Flamingo Road" (1981-1982)
"The Colbys" (1985-1987)
"Homefront" (1991-1993)
"Maybe It's Me" (2001-2002)
"The Ropers" (1979-1980)
"Angie" (1979-1980)
"Three's a Crowd" (1984-1985)
"Gidget" (1965-1966)
"Electra Woman and Dyna Girl" (1976-1977)
"Family Guy" (1999-2002)
"Bosom Buddies" (1980-1982)

Im not making a list right now but....
would "Hello, Larry" count??

For only lasting 2 seasons, a lot of people seem to remember it.

Good pick, I remember that show. That was when the prime time soaps like Dallas and Dynasty were hot. I was into Morgan Fairchild back then.

Here is my list...


Grady

Fish

Sanford Arms

Baby, I am Back


The New Odd Couple...(ok, I know a lot of people mentioned this show SUCKED, but it was not that bad)....:)

Mine would include...

Tokyo Pig
Power Rangers Zeo
Power Rangers Ninja Storm
The Brady Brides
The Bradys
The Flash
Histeria!
Star Trek: The Animated Series
The Tick (Live Action)
The Lone Gunmen
Gidget
Three's a Crowd
Life with Lucy

I like almost all the ones Pav listed. Also, The New Odd Couple (1982-83), Oh Madeline (1983-84) & Out All Night (1992-93)
Though it would be nice to have a channel like that, I think the channel would also be short-lived LOL

Yeah, I love all the primetime soaps. "Flamingo Road" reruns air on Goodlife TV every Monday night (like tonight) and I looooooooove it. Morgan Fairchild is such a bitch on it, but that's what I love about her. Just like how I love Abby from "Knots Landing" and Alexis from "Dynasty."

Ack, my list would be endless. And not all sitcoms. selection:

Roxie, Take Five, Second Chance, The Second Hundred Years, Spencer, Stat, Stingray, The Swiss Family Robinson, Szysznyk, TV 101, Teech, Traps, Gloria, Hometown, Ivan The Terrible, James at 15, The Kallikaks, The Lieutenant, Mr. Terriific, Monty, Muddling Through, The New People, The Good Life, Captain Nice, The Outsiders, The Man From Atlantis, My World And Welcome To It, The Young Rebels, Paris, Occasional Wife, Nancy, The Four Seasons, Paper Moon, The Texas Wheelers, The New Land, Nakia, Born Free, Sons and Daughters, Cop Rock, Woops!, Delta House, I Married Dora, E/R, My Life And Times, Karen, The Baileys of Balboa...

I forgot to name Gidget as a show I would add!!! :eek: :cool:

When I traveled abroad in the 70s and 80s the country I went to only had one Tv station broadcast on 2 channels. They would sign off in the middle of the day so the workers could go eat lunch and then sign on again until about midnight, then come back at 9 am. Most of the programming was reruns US shows and they had reruns of shows i had never heard of. Most of them only ran a year or less: Young Lawyers, Longstreet, Barefoot in the Park, The Magician, Thunderbirds, Funny Face. They ran them once a week and when they ran out of episodes they'd replace them with other shows. This could be an interesting experiment for US TV now. Also, this station had much fewer commercials than the US so the shows were unedited.

With all the shows networks have dumped over the last 40-50 years some channel could fil up its schedule with almost anything.

As for my choices I'd go for:

Police Squad, Teech, Where I Live, Me and the Boys, the Hero (from the 1960s with Richard Mulligan and Marriette Hartley), Love on A Rooftop, Hey Landlord, Name of the Game, The Outcasts (1968), the newer version of Mission Impossible, NYPD (from the late 1960s), My World and Welcome to It, Arnie.

Freaks And Geeks
Undeclared
Action
The Critic
Police Squad!
That's My Bush

I agree.

The Magician
Goodnight, Beantown


common thread, no? :lol:

Oh, and The New Dick Van Dyke Show. 3 seasons...close enough.

In making this thread, I can't believe nobody has mentioned Flash Forward. That show only lasted one season...Best show ever.

Here's my list:

The Brady Brides (1981)
Life With Lucy (1986)
The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour (1957-1960)
The Honeymooners (1955)
Baby Talk (1991-1993)
The Ropers (1979-1981)
Three's A Crowd (1983-1984)
She's The Sheriff
The Munsters (1964-1966)
The Addams Family (1964-1966)
My Mother the Car (1965)
The Monkees (1966-1968)
Joanie Loves Chachi (1982)
Mayberry R.F.D. (1968-1971)
Phyllis (1975-1977)
The Betty White Show (1977-1978)
Laverne (1982-1983)
The Golden Palace (1992-1993)

Here are some:

The Munsters (lasted 2 seasons)
The Addams Family (lasted 2 seasons)
My Big Fat Greek Life (lasted about 1 season)
Tarzan (lasted about 7 episodes)
Black Sash (lasted about 1 season)
and many more

I would like to see all those TGIF shows from the 80's like The Charmings or Mike Sledgehammer. Working would also be cool, the one with Fred Savage as an adult. Oh, and this wasn't a sitcom but My So-Called Life.

Top of the Heap

Three's A Crowd

The Ropers
