Here Come the Brides (I was a huge Bobby Sherman fan LOL!), Bridget Loves Bernie (I was sorry to see its stars split up in real life--I was a Christian girl with a crush on a Jewish boy around the time of that show), Friends and Lovers, My World and Welcome to It, When Things Were Rotten, Square Pegs (now that I have seen TBS airings of Sex and the City, I have grown to love Sarah Jessica Parker!)...and a couple that I haven't seen mentioned here yet. One was a great source of amusement for my husband and me early in our marriage, Dinosaurs--the show with people in latex suits and the baby that hit its dad on the head and yelled "Not the mama!" all the time OMG LOL! The other is a show that George Clooney was apparently in even before his brief time on Roseanne--something called Bennett Brothers.

And as for everything eventually ending up on DVD--tell that to whoever has made the decision not to release "Chico and the Man"!

I would also like to see the original Bill Cosby Show from the late 60's early 70's.ive seen it its pretty good its alot slower paced than the cosby show or even cosby but its still a worthy effort and the theme song is awsome even if you dont like the show the song will stay in your head for a long long time

treky

03-10-2005, 10:58 PM

yea, I remember seeing daytime reruns of that show years ago, in the 70s, on channel 11 in New York, and I also remember seeing it in its original airing on NBC. You're right, it is pretty good, but a bit slower paced than "The Cosby show" & "Cosby" (his later show on CBS).
I also wouldn't mind seeing it again.

I remember, Joyce Bullufiant (Murrys wife on "The Mary Tyler Moore show) was in some of the episodes.

NICK AT NITE used to show that years ago, back in 89. As I recall, it was'nt that great.

But, I'd also like to see it again.

It wasn't as good as it could have been because either they didn't get the rights to all the episodes, or the better, more contraversial eps aren't allowed in syndication.

It's like whenever you see Carol Burnett and Friends, its not nearly all the old eps. of the Carol Burnett Show. There was one skit where Tim Conway was robbing a bank (obviously for the first time) and was wearing a gorilla mask and reading crib notes. One of the funniest skits ever, and its never been seen again in repeats. I'm not exactly sure why. :(

treky

04-08-2005, 01:53 AM

speaking of "The Carol Burnett show", there's also a sketch that I've never seen rerun, it was the first time they paired Harvey Korman and Tim Conway. It was a sketch in a dentists office, and Tim was the Dentist and Harvey was a patient having his tooth pulled. Tim had just gotten out of dental school, and Harvey was his first patient, and he kept making mistakes, like, I remember, he injected novicane into his hand.

I remember, the sketch was HILARIOUS!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks. I know some of them are on VHS. I want them on DVD though. Superman is supposed to come out eventually, but...

The original Addams Family should be out, IMO, but there seems to be no signs of that happening any time soon. :( I think it would be great if the two AF versions were released as a box set.

I watched a couple of Hot L Baltimores there this summer. Pretty bad I thought.

I have to say that there aren't many things I haven't been able to get or at least see over the last 25 years of collecting. Don't Call Me Charlie, Harris Against the World, Tom, Dick and Mary although I saw the last 2 at Library of Congress. I would like to see a color episode of Hank. I've never come up with an All's Fair although I did see one at LOC (they have them all). And I don't have any Corner Bars either (saw one at UCLA). How about A Touch of Grace? Don't know anyone with one of those. Or The Brothers with Gale Gordon. Anyone have an episode?

I have to say some people list some really laughable stuff, things they could have easily taped when they aired. Here Come the Brides and Bill Cosby Show for instance ran on CBN. Captain Nice and Occasional Wife (among others) ran on HA. Second Hundred Years and He and She on USA, Sanford ran on BET for the longest time.

12-03-2005, 04:08 AM

well, I read once that, eventually EVERYTHING that is/was on TV will be availible on DVD.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Do you have any idea how many shows that aired don't even exist any more? I am currently working with several entities trying to track down many obscure programs and even filmed shows, if they were not owned by major studios, have not been well kept track of. So, believe me, whoever made that statement is talking out their ass.

Reading through your post really took me back. You've named some shows which I watched when they first aired but don't recall too often. Captain Nice and Occasional Wife -- WOW! -- I remember them well! Thanks for the memories.

How'd you get to see it, because it's not on VHS or DVD?

"AMANDA'S" (w/Bea Arthur)- I vaguely remember seing this on TV in the early 80s and kind of liked it. Arthur did this a few years AFTER Maude and before GG (Prob. '81 or '82)

"CHECKING IN" (spinoff from Jeffersons)

"FLO" (spinoff from Alice)- I have 5 eps from this show, and its pretty bad, but I still want to see them all one day-lol

FUTURE COP (1977 w/John Amos)- Only read about this show, but I think this is the first thing John Amos went to after being fired from Good Times and BEFORE Roots.

I know 3 Traders that have Amanda's but they don't want to release it that easily because it's so rare. But that's understandable because that's how I am with certain shows like Out of the Blue and Lewis And Clark.

...all 26 episodes of "MY LIVING DOLL" (1964-'65) to be recovered. But CBS, who owned the series and cancelled it after its only season, decided in its infinite wisdom that it wasn't worth holding onto a black & white show with a limited number of episodes that would obviously had no appeal in the coming age of syndicated COLOR TV series..and one that had so many problems attached to it (Jack Mullaney replaced Bob Cummings as "star" in episode 22 after the latter walked away from the show because of his constant feuding with Julie Newmar). So the network destroyed all the of the show's negatives-less than a half-dozen episodes on 16mm are known to exist. There's an occasional whisper that SOMEWHERE, all of the episodes DO exist and are in some private collection or vault.....waiting to be recovered!

The O'Keefes (the last 3 episodes)
The Slap Maxwell Story
Strip Mall
Sydney
The War Next Door
A Whole New Ballgame
Wild Oats

Many of these are just for the cast, or perhaps an interesting premise. I do NOT think that all of these will be good.

If you want to watch them, the majority of them are pretty easy to find. Freaks and Geeks, Life as We Know It and Playmakers are all on DVD. Every episode of Quintuplets and Do Over are on YouTube. Some of Maybe It's Me is on YouTube, but the others appear to be lost. This is a thread for shows that you never saw, but would like to. It seems like you may have already seen these.

My list:

2Gether
American Body Shop
Andy Richter Controls the Universe (I know it's on DVD, but I haven't gotten it yet. A friend of mine offered to get it for me for my b-day, but he ended up getting me Childrens Hospital, which I think is kind of lame)
Arresting Behavior
Ball Four
Big Day
Breaking In (the last 8 episodes)
Brooklyn Bridge
Danger Theatre
Danny
Everything's Relative (the Jeffrey Tambor one)
Factory
Flying Blind (one episode is available on YouTube, but I only watch things in order)
Frank's Place
Free Radio
Go Fish
Good Grief
Grapevine (both versions)
Great Scott! (same deal as Flying Blind)
Hardball (the 1994 one)
Help Me Help You
Home Free
Imagine That
Inside Schwartz
The Jake Effect (the 7th episode)
Joe Bash
The Last Precinct
Madman of the People
Maybe It's Me (there are available episodes, but I can only watch things in order)
The Mike O'Malley Show (supposedly extremely stupid, but it has Mike O'Malley and Will Arnett)
Mr. President
Mr. Sunshine (the Jeffrey Tambor one)
Normal Life
The O'Keefes (the last 3 episodes)
The Slap Maxwell Story
Strip Mall
Sydney
The War Next Door
A Whole New Ballgame
Wild Oats

THE FIGHTING NIGHTINGALES (I think that's the name) It only aired once, in Jan. or Feb. of 1976; right after MASH one week. It was also about a medical unit during the korean war, but it focused on the nurses. It was pretty bad but I wouldn't mind seeing it again for that reason.

One show I forgot to mention is That's Life, 1968 musical/comedy series with Robert Morse and EJ Peaker. If that show would come out on DVD, that would be like the holy grail for me I'd be totally happy.

I watched that you tube clip of the Mr T And Tina pilot, too bad the video quality is so poor, it is almost unwatchable. I remember seeing the pilot episode when it first aired in 1976, some of the scenes were familiar, especially the part where Mr T is "floating" around the room wearing his anti gravity belt. I had forgot that Ted Lange from The Love Boat was in this show. The show really dates itself with the 1970's slang language and asian stereotypes, the studio audience seemed to be laughing it up and enjoying themselves. Susan Blanchard was cute and perky in this show, similar to how Lauren Tewes was in the early seasons of Love Boat. Not really a good show, but maybe one day the complete series of Mr T And Tina can be out on DVD as a manufacture on demand release. There are a few people who would buy it, myself included. I think 8 or 9 episodes were filmed, but only 4 or 5 were shown because the series was cancelled after only about a month on the air.

I know it's impossible to have this show again with it's
original stars, but maybe I can hope their are a few
seasons of un-aired episodes that can be broadcast
on a cable station that specializes in nostalgia.

Some short lived shows, I would love to see at least once, or more of are.....

Checking In (the short lived spinoff of The Jeffersons)--never seen
Forever Fernwood (sequel to Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman)--Saw 1 episode
Grady (spinoff of Sanford and Son)-- Saw 1 episode

There are so many short lived shows out there that didn't make it, but were actually pretty good. It is very rare that a short lived show (that has significantly less than 100 episodes) ever passes the airwaves again. Some exceptions are That's my Mama and Phyllis.

I used to watch Forever Fernwood during it's original run, it was a good show I liked it. The fact that Louise Lasser was no longer part of the cast didn't hurt the show at all, the other actors were still there and the writing remained good. However, I did not like the talk show spoof Fernwood2Night which later became America2Night, to me the show wasn't funny and Martin Mull and Fred Willard were annoying as hell. I think I saw 2 or 3 episodes and then stopped watching it.
