I loved that show. Friday nights have not been the same without it!! :( megamanj2004 05-11-2009, 02:08 AM Off the bat: SITCOMS: WKRP in Cincinatti Square Pegs The Monkees Sledge Hammer! Police Squad! That's My Mama! What's Happening!! Just the Ten of Us - There would've been a 4th season if ABC weren't so biased about their TGiF line-up wanting to be all Miller-Boyett shows. My Sister Sam - on one side of the coin it could've lasted longer had CBS not move it from Monday nights to Thursday against the killer NBC Thursday line-up. Getting By Gilligan's Island Max Headroom NON-SITCOMS: Kolchak: The Night Stalker Green Hornet, The Spenser: For Hire Dragnet (2003) - I would've loved to see Ed O'Neill play something outside of his Al Bundy, but it didn't happen thanks to ABC and the producers chaning the format to another L&O type show, as if we have enough of those already to go around!

Our House Kung Fui agree about our house that was a very good show esl 05-11-2009, 03:47 AM For a sitcom it would definitely be Fawlty Towers (or was that Warty Towels, Fatty Owls or Farty Towels?) Only 12 episodes made, but what wonderful 12they are. For a non-sitcom it would be the original Johny Quest. jimpickens 05-11-2009, 04:01 AM When Things Were Rotten Andy Barker PI Danger Theatre Soap Lots of luck The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo Sledge Hammer Police Squad The Last Precinct Gilligan's Island Shasta McNasty Chocoholic 05-11-2009, 10:42 AM Andy Richter Controls the Universe NewsRadio (Although the show just wasn't the same without Bill.) Becker (Never should have replaced Reggie with Piss, I mean, Chris.) Two Guys and a Girl Chocoholic 05-11-2009, 12:47 PM Another one I just thought of is Early Edition, although I didn't care for the last two seasons. Still an underrated dramedy for the first two years. Heidi Dawn 05-11-2009, 01:56 PM WKRP in Cincinnati most definitely and The Monkees (I would have liked to see additional seasons if NBC allowed the group to change the format). Chain Gang Member 05-31-2009, 12:32 PM Now I wish Reaper lasted longer :( Zebra 3 05-31-2009, 09:13 PM Police Squad! TripperFan 05-31-2009, 09:18 PM My Sister Sam (the thread orignator indicated it didn't do well in it's timeslot - it did fine - it was because Rebecca Schaeffer was murdered that it ended). It Takes Two an early 80s short lived comedy with Patty Duke and Richard Crenna - Helen Hunt played their young teenage daughter). It ended early (I think one season, if that) because of Patty's undiagnosed bi-polar disorder unfortunately. It would have been a winner for sure. Retro4Life 05-31-2009, 10:24 PM Soap, WKRP, Taxi, Greg the Bunny, The Charmings megamanj2004 06-01-2009, 12:00 AM My Sister Sam (the thread orignator indicated it didn't do well in it's timeslot - it did fine - it was because Rebecca Schaeffer was murdered that it ended). In its 1st season it was great becuase CBS slotted it on Monday nights alognside its popular established '80s sitcoms in "Newhart" and "Kate and Allie." But when S2 rolled into town, CBS made the suicidal move of moving it from Monday nights to the suicidal Thursday nights up against NBC's ratings juggernaut Thursday night powerhouse. And b/c of that, the ratings slipped really badly that CBS canned the show after 2 seasons. And two, even if it had a S3, how would CBS would've handled the death of Rebecaa Schaeffer? Years prior to CBS and "MSS," NBC had to deal with the untimely death of Freddie Prinze (Sr.) w/ "Chico and the Man" and look what happened.

It definitely deserved more than one season. Becker I agree with Chocoholic, Reggie never should've been replaced. Although I didn't hate Chris, she just couldn't take the place of my favorite character. I loved Reggie! The Faculty This was a very short-lived sitcom from 1996, based on teachers in a high school. I doubt many people remember it, but I thought it was great. Major Dad I watched this show as a kid, but didn't remember much of it until my friend got me rewatching it online a while back. It's one of the best sitcoms I've ever seen! Schmoopie 06-01-2009, 06:50 AM Joan of Arcadia Square Pegs My So-Called Life (I never got to see it!)

Another short lived sitcom that I liked was The Crew on Fox which was about a group of flight attendants. catlover79 12-29-2009, 03:25 PM AES Hudson Street, which had my man, Gregory Sierra (:eyes:) in the lead role. It only lasted 5 episodes and aired in the spring of 1978. It had a plum timeslot (right after Barney Miller) but for some reason, it tanked. :( Retro4Life 12-29-2009, 05:18 PM AES Hudson Street, which had my man, Gregory Sierra (:eyes:) in the lead role.

It was a sitcom - I think it was supposed to be a cross between Barney Miller and M*A*S*H. It was created by the same people who created Barney Miller, written by the same people, directed by the same people and featured a lot of the same guest stars.
