Zebra 3 12-25-2005, 04:13 PM Alice - Somewhat underrated 70s sitcom.
Happy Days - At times excellent, but unwatchable after Ron Howard left.
Dean Winchester 12-25-2005, 07:25 PM 10. Charmed - i have watched this show from the very beginning, it got BETTER imho when Doherty left - i think she's a dufus and cant act whatsoever.
Shannen definately wasn't an Emmy winning actress, but I think the change in writers that coincided with switch in actresses hurt the show too. When Constance M. Burge was head writer, the show was fantastic and one of the best shows of it's genre and contained an equal amount of drama and horror to it. When Brad Kern took over as head writer, the show morphed into really bad camp (and not in the good sense) fantasy and it lost a lot of its former edge (and it also gained way too much emphasis on "how naked can we get Alyssa Milano this week?"). I think if Burge was still head writer, things would be much better than they are these days, firing Dorian Gregory and Brian Krause this season, both of which have been with the show from the earliest episodes (okay, Brian wasn't in the pilot, but he came in around the fourth or fifth episode) in favor of the chick from 8 Simple Rules was the final straw.
Dean Winchester 12-25-2005, 07:27 PM 9. Ally McBeal (Never saw It)
15. Moonlighting (Never Saw It)
you'd probably like both shows if you enjoy Desperate Housewives' mix of comedy and drama, Ally was actually always in the comedy catagories in the Emmys during its run, winning once or twice "Best Comedy Series"

Brian hasn't been on any shows this year?
Living In a '70's Dream 12-25-2005, 08:01 PM One Day at a Time and the Mary Tyler Moore are two of my favorite television prgrams:)
Dean Winchester 12-25-2005, 08:20 PM Brian hasn't been on any shows this year?
he was in the first 10 episodes of the season but Brad decided to kill Leo off because they cannot afford both Brian Krause AND Kaley Cuoco on the same show... which is a joke because Brian's been an integral part of the show from the first season, while Kaley is just brought in so Charmed will have higher teenybopper ratings.

That sounds like what happened to "Sliders". It was great in the first two seasons. However, David Peckinpah took over the show and ruined it. The third season was mostly crap, with a couple good episodes. After that, the cast changed every season, leaving one one original cast member in the final season. John Rhys-Davies as the Professor was a great character. However, they killed him off in favor of the hot, slutty Maggie Beckett (played by Kari Wuhrer). Now yes, Maggie was nice to look at. But that's not why I watched the show. I'd rather have the older, overweight male professor than the young hot Maggie anyday.

I actually liked the writing and the plots before AND after, I liked the earliest episodes, but I thought that they were getting a little TOO serious and were starting to blend in with too many other similar shows; I liked it when they started getting a little campy and more humorous.
I like Leo as a character, and dont care about Kaley Cuoco's character one way or the other, but if everything between him and Piper is worked out, I'm afraid they would just push the character farther into the background anyways...
1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer - seems interesting, but not really my style
2. Roseanne - definitely a favorite of mine
3. Sex And The City - good, but very overrated

Dean Winchester 12-30-2005, 04:57 PM 15. Moonlighting - saw the episode on N@N and hated it
actually, the episode N@N aired (Atomic Shakespeare) is definately not representative of Moonlighting at all. I didn't care for the episode either (but when I get season 3, I will rewatch it, I'll probably enjoy it now since I know the characters), but I recently checked out the season 1/2 set after hearing so much good word of mouth about it and I personally love the chemistry between the two leads, they are perfect together.
troopoleon8897 12-31-2005, 03:39 PM I may eventully check it out cause Im a big fan of Bruce willis but im gonna wait till I get somemore important sets...
