Hard to believe I started talking to you guys nearly 8 years ago. :eek: I used to have so much trouble keeping up sometimes with my crappy computer. :lol:
I still have a crappy computer. :lol:

Sometimes it seems like a lifetime ago, sometimes it seems like only a year ago lol I remember there were some nights when I would have to work and when I logged onto SO the next day there would be like 30 pages in our thread I would have to catch up on from the previous night lol
I'll never forget that one weekend where we all started to talk at 11 Friday night and it lasted through Sunday Night. I only took a few hours off to get some sleep but I think the thread was still going. :lol:

I'm still up all night cuz I work night shift lol
I'm not a Nighthawk anymore. There's been a few times that I went to bed at 9. I could never do that in the old days. :lol:

Oh, how I miss the old JTS Site. I used to spend hours on end, reading the hilarious comments, people made, about certain shows, and the reason why it Jumped The Shark...:lol:
JTS was great. So was TV Tome. I hate it that they were destroyed like that.

Speaking of getting old....
Yesterday, I went to the San Diego Fair. Was there for 6 hours. Did a lot of walking. Saw Kenny Loggins and John Tesh in concert (exciting,huh?). Came home around 9. Oh! Man!, the next morning, my entire body is stiff...:crazy:
:lol: Sounds like you had fun though.

I actually saved several pages from that site on my computer because I knew TV Guide would probably delete the original page at the internet archive. :lol:

Did Kenny sing the Caddyshack theme song? :lol: He had a few good songs. I also like Danger Zone from Top Gun. :cool:

I saw the Buckinghams last fall and I swear I was the only person there under the age of 60. Talk about feeling out of place. :lol:

The Accused is a very intense drama. I don't think there is any comedy in it and Jodie really showed her acting chops in that one.

I used to be a big Mel Gibson fan. I collected a bunch of his movies....not any more. :lol:

She won her first oscar for that one didn't she?

I was surprised to see him on Leno about a month ago. I thought his career was over for good. :lol:

I still have a crappy computer. :lol:

:lol:

JTS was great. So was TV Tome. I hate it that they were destroyed like that.

I hate it too but at the same time I don't blame the guy who sold JTS. He made I think 5 million by selling it to TV guide. :lol:

Kenny was the soundtrack guy for the 80's lol He also sang "Meet Me Half Way" from "Over the Top" lol

Wonder where Allison has been? She's been missing out on our "mini" Nighthawk Reunion :lol:

She won her first oscar for that one didn't she?

I was surprised to see him on Leno about a month ago. I thought his career was over for good. :lol:
Yea that was her first Oscar. Well deserved too.

Somebody forgot to tell Mel that he was finished. :lol:

I hate it too but at the same time I don't blame the guy who sold JTS. He made I think 5 million by selling it to TV guide. :lol:
I would have sold it too. I would have sold it for just a million. I'm not picky. :lol:

Wonder where Allison has been? She's been missing out on our "mini" Nighthawk Reunion :lol:
She's back in New York City Doc. :D

I had a blast! Took over 200 photos. Ate a lot of crappy (but, delicious) food:lol:
That's good. And that's the best kind of food. :lol:

Kenny was the soundtrack guy for the 80's lol He also sang "Meet Me Half Way" from "Over the Top" lol

I don't remember that song, but it's been at least 20 years since I've seen that movie. :lol: I do remember "Over the Top" and "Winner Takes it All" though.

Yea that was her first Oscar. Well deserved too.

Somebody forgot to tell Mel that he was finished. :lol:

Leno will have anyone on his show so it shouldn't have been a huge shock. I lost track of the number of times he's had the cast of the Jersey Shore on. :lol:

Leno will have anyone on his show so it shouldn't have been a huge shock. I lost track of the number of times he's had the cast of the Jersey Shore on. :lol:
I have not seen anyone from the cast of Jersey Shore and I like it like that. :lol:

I can't even remember the last time I saw Leno or Letterman. :lol:

AMEN!!! But, expensive! I paid 15 Bucks for a hamburger, a small soda, and fries:crazy:

I want to return to The Fair, but I am debating on what concert I want to see next? It is a toss between, KC & Sunshine Band or Grand Funk Railroad :lol:
Wow. They really try to stick it to you at those places. :eek:

I remember KC & the Sunshine Band. I haven't heard from them in over 30 years. :lol:

Pheylan got baptized today. I don't know where all the years go. I remember babysitting her when we first started having our late night chats. Next month, she turns 12. :eek:

:eek: Twelve Years Old??? WOW, time sure goes very, very, very fast!
My nephew is going to be a dad. I remember bring him to my High School Graduation when he was only two weeks old. Now, he is 24 and going to be a pop!
Wow. Time sure flies. :eek:

Pheylan's mom turned 35 yesterday. She was 7 when she attended my HS Graduation. :eek: :lol:

Times seems to fly by faster and faster, the older you become. My youngest niece is going to Kindergarten this year. It seems like yesterday, that my brother announced that he was going to be a dad!
Life is funny. When you are a kid, you can't wait to grow up. You want the years to go by fast and they seem to go real slow. Then when you are older, you want to slow down the years and they seem to go real fast. :lol:

I'd go see KC and the Sunshine band. Good music to dance to. :cool: Can't say that about Grand Funk unless it's "the Locomotion". :lol:

I have not seen anyone from the cast of Jersey Shore and I like it like that. :lol:

I can't even remember the last time I saw Leno or Letterman. :lol:

I used to watch Letterman every night years ago. Now I probably watch it 2-3 times a month. :lol:

So true, Sonny. One of these days they're going to figure out a way to slow down time. :lol:

Yeah, like the time I went to see a live taping of Full House! That seems life yesterday, not 20 years ago!

Which episode did you see? Didn't you say something about one of the uncles hitting on you? Hard to believe now, but for a while, Full House was my favorite show. :lol:

I used to watch Letterman every night years ago. Now I probably watch it 2-3 times a month. :lol:
I've never been much of a late night watcher. Neither Leno or Letterman can hold a candle to Johnny Carson. :lol:

John Stamos smiled at me..:lol: Hey, I was skinny, tan and blonde then...:snob:
Anyway, the first taping I saw (this was back in 1992) was the episode when Kimmie pierced Stephanie's ears, and they became infected.

I saw ANOTHER live taping (this time the year was 1994) and no, John, did not flirt with me this time:( *sniff sniff* Oh well! The episode (and forgive me, I totally forgot the name of the ep) was when Michelle and her little friend sold a "TON" of lemonade, and made a lots, lots of money. And with their dough their bought a pet mule.

I saw John Stamos, a year ago, he was performing with the Beach Boys, playing on the drums. I swear, the man "still looked the same" did not age a bit:)
It sounds like you had a ball. :lol:

A lady that went to my church years ago (when I still went regularly lol), always talked about the time she was visiting relatives in Cali and got to attend a taping of "Maude". She got to meet several of the cast members afterwards including Rue McClanahan and Esther Rolle. That would have been neat.

I've never been much of a late night watcher. Neither Leno or Letterman can hold a candle to Johnny Carson. :lol:



You got that right!

OMG, I remember that episode where Stephanie's ears got infected. :lol:

I've never been much of a late night watcher. Neither Leno or Letterman can hold a candle to Johnny Carson. :lol:

I never really saw much of Carson although I have watched many clips and have his final show on tape, but I agree. Heck, even Letterman would agree with you. :lol:

OMG!!! I would had loved that:)

I would love to jump into a Time Machine, and attend a live taping of Sanford and Son, Maude, or other awesome '70s sitcoms:cool:
So would I. It just doesn't get better than that. :cool:

I never really saw much of Carson although I have watched many clips and have his final show on tape, but I agree. Heck, even Letterman would agree with you. :lol:
The thing about Johnny, he was just naturally funny. He wasn't mean spirited like alot of today's comedians. Ed McMahon was great too. I remember staying up late to watch his final show. That was a national event. I missed Leno's final show or his triumphant return. :lol:

I would LOVE to see a live taping of Sanford and Son. I bet, Redd Foxx, was a riot!!!:lol:
He was the best. He probably had the studio audience in stitches. :lol:

A good friend of mine, grandfather, knew Redd Foxx. According to him, Foxx, was super crude. So I can only imagine, what his "interaction" with the studio audience was like, while took a break from filming Sanford and Son. I am sure, Redd, shocked a couple of people:lol:
I remember I bought a Redd Foxx record at the fleamarket. This must have been around 1976 or 1977. I thought I was getting Fred Sanford....It wasn't. :lol:

You are correct sir. :lol:

It's a shame that most of the Tonight shows from the 60's are gone forever. I was reading an article about lost episodes of tv shows and The Tonight Show was mentioned, along with early episodes of Dr. Who and Mary Kay and Johnny. :(

I remember I bought a Redd Foxx record at the fleamarket. This must have been around 1976 or 1977. I thought I was getting Fred Sanford....It wasn't. :lol:

:lol: I heard that Aunt Esther released a few comedy records that were just as raunchy as the Redd Foxx records. :eek:

:eek: Oh, man! I can only your surprised when you took that album home, played it, and realized "Hey, Fred never said such words on Sanford and Son?":lol:

Anyway, I am off to the Fair again. I am going to see, Grand Funk Railroad. I am in the mood to see a bunch of has-been rockers:lol: I hope everyone has an amazing weekend:)

:lol: Have fun. :wave:

Nobody back in the old days thought about preserving our TV Heritage. I heard that many of the shows from the old Dumont Network were dumped in the ocean. :ohno: I would love to see Mary Kay and Johnny. I don't care if some of the shows from back then are dated or not. I find them interesting. :lol: I heard that many of the old Tonight Shows were lost. I remember my parents staying up late at night to watch him. I tried to listen from my bedroom. :lol: I did see an old Steve Allen Tonight Show clip on youtube. I don't know if it's still there or not though. It didn't even look like the Tonight Show that we all know though. :lol:

:lol: I heard that Aunt Esther released a few comedy records that were just as raunchy as the Redd Foxx records. :eek:
I heard that too. :eek: I wonder what her church members on the show would say?:lol:

I wonder if any episodes of Captain Video still exist. I've wanted to see that show ever since Ralph and Ed talked about it on the first episode of the Honeymooners. :lol:

It's a damn shame. The thing with the Tonight Show with Carson was back then they had real stars on the shows, unlike today where anyone on tv is a star. I'd love to see some of those 60's interviews he did with people like John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe and especially Steve McQueen, who rarely ever did interviews.

I think there are a few episodes of that show. I wouldn't know where you can watch it though. :lol: It's probably really cheesy and I hear it looked very cheap. It would still be interesting to see. Kids in the 1950's seemed to love it. :lol:

Yea I know what you mean. They put anybody on those late night talk shows anymore. I'd love to see some of those interviews. I was too young even in the 70's to see many of Carson's shows. I remember seeing John Wayne guest star on one of Bob Hope's Christmas specials. That's another show that they should put on DVD. I always used to look forward to his shows every year. I hardly watch any Christmas Specials anymore except maybe National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. :lol:

Happy Birthday Sonny :cool: So what are you doing to celebrate today?

Happy Birthday Sonny :cool: So what are you doing to celebrate today?
Thanks Doc. :) Nothing too much. I guess my parents were right. When you get to my age, it's just another day. :lol: I might get something to eat from downtown though. I don't feel like cooking. :lol:

Happy Birthday Sonny :woohoo:

:lol: I heard that Aunt Esther released a few comedy records that were just as raunchy as the Redd Foxx records. :eek:



She sure did. Aunt Esther was a role. Off camera and in her comedy rotuine (or however you spell it), LaWanda Paige could be really raunchy.

Happy Birthday Sonny :woohoo:
Thanks Angela. :)

I brought home a pizza. :D

Yum! What kind? (Wait, scratch that, I am on a diet!):lol:

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sonny! I hope it is a good one:)
Thanks Tara. :)

I had a peperoni and mushroom pizza. My Favorite. :D

The concert was excellent. Was pleasantly surprised, since I am not a huge fan. I was at The Fair, was 7 whole hours!!! I am still recovering:lol:
It sounds like you had a lot of fun. :)

I've been watching some of the shows on Me-TV lately. I only get so many shows on my affiliate but boy they bring back memories. I've been watching Family Affair, Get Smart, The Beverly Hillbillies, Sgt. Bilko, Car 54 Where Are You? . I haven't seen those shows in years. :lol:

I'll have to check youtube. I've seen some pretty cheesy children shows when I was a kid so it can't be too bad. :lol:

Another problem is there are too many late night talk show hosts now. I hear Arsenio is making a comeback. :lol: Christmas Vacation is the only one I watch each Christmas. I remember one year I watched it 5-6 times. :lol: I also watch Christmas Story occasionally but I've seen it so many times it's just not the same.

She sure did. Aunt Esther was a role. Off camera and in her comedy rotuine (or however you spell it), LaWanda Paige could be really raunchy.

I need to pick up one of her records sometime. I've never heard any of Redd Foxx comedy records either. :lol:

The concert was excellent. Was pleasantly surprised, since I am not a huge fan. I was at The Fair, was 7 whole hours!!! I am still recovering:lol:

That's Homer Simpson's favorite band. :lol:

I've never really cared much for Grand Funk, but I love the song "Bad Time". :cool:

It's great that networks like ME-TV and Antenna TV are airing classic shows. Beats TV Land and N@N any day. :lol:

I bought the 1st season of Car 54 over a year ago and I still haven't finished it yet. :eek: I've got 8 or 9 episodes left to watch. :lol:

I'm finally transferring my T.J. Hooker tapes to DVD. I remember how obsessed I was with this show back when A&E aired it in 2005. I haven't seen an episode since they stopped ariing it. :lol:

Oh I used to watch a bunch of cheesy shows too. I still have the theme song of The New Zoo Revue going on in my head. :lol:

Yea I never cared for Arsenio. :lol: Yea Christmas Story I watch sometimes but only because TBS has that marathon every Christmas Eve. :lol:

I need to pick up one of her records sometime. I've never heard any of Redd Foxx comedy records either. :lol:
I think I only paid 50 cents for mine. :lol:

It's great that networks like ME-TV and Antenna TV are airing classic shows. Beats TV Land and N@N any day. :lol:

I bought the 1st season of Car 54 over a year ago and I still haven't finished it yet. :eek: I've got 8 or 9 episodes left to watch. :lol:
They are great channels. They even show the entire opening and closing credits. :lol: TV Land & N@N sold out. I waited a long time to get TV Land and I only had it about 2 years when they started changing it. :rolleyes:

Car 54 is a pretty good show. It's great seeing Fred Gwynn as someone other than Herman Munster. :cool: I really had only seen a few episodes of the show before this.

I'm finally transferring my T.J. Hooker tapes to DVD. I remember how obsessed I was with this show back when A&E aired it in 2005. I haven't seen an episode since they stopped ariing it. :lol:
I remember when you were watching that. :lol: I haven't seen it since then either and it's a very underrated show. Hopefully another network will pick it up someday.

A friend of mine, has both Antenna and ME-TV. Can you say, "jealous" ? :lol: I would LOVE to watch, Family Affair, again. I have not seen that show in ages!
I get Antenna TV and about 30-40% of Me-TV. They do have great shows. Family Affair holds up pretty well. It's sort of sad watching it now knowing what happened to some of the cast. Now if only some channel will pick up Chico and the Man. :lol:

Now if only some channel will pick up Chico and the Man. :lol:


and Jake and the Fatman lol

A friend of mine, has both Antenna and ME-TV. Can you say, "jealous" ? :lol: I would LOVE to watch, Family Affair, again. I have not seen that show in ages!

It's weird, I've never seen an episode of Family Affair, but I've seen the Anissa Jones True Hollywood Story several times. I would like to see it someday though.

Oh I used to watch a bunch of cheesy shows too. I still have the theme song of The New Zoo Revue going on in my head. :lol:

Yea I never cared for Arsenio. :lol: Yea Christmas Story I watch sometimes but only because TBS has that marathon every Christmas Eve. :lol:

I've always wondered if there were some nuts out there who watch the entire Christmas Story marathon. :lol: I watched it at most 3 times on Christmas Eve once, but that was it.

They are great channels. They even show the entire opening and closing credits. :lol: TV Land & N@N sold out. I waited a long time to get TV Land and I only had it about 2 years when they started changing it. :rolleyes:

Car 54 is a pretty good show. It's great seeing Fred Gwynn as someone other than Herman Munster. :cool: I really had only seen a few episodes of the show before this.

Well I hope I never get those channels because if I did they probably wouldn't have any good shows on anymore with my luck. :lol:

Yeah, I watched it sometimes when it aired on N@N. I like it better than the Munsters although The Munsters was one of my favorite shows as a kid. :lol: I heard they're trying to remake the series. :rolleyes: I'm sure it will make Munsters Today look like a classic. :lol:

I remember when you were watching that. :lol: I haven't seen it since then either and it's a very underrated show. Hopefully another network will pick it up someday.

Didn't the Sleuth network air that show for a while? Another channel I wish I had although I hear they air a lot of newer shows now. :lol:

and Jake and the Fatman lol

Now that's a show I'd like to see again. :lol: I almost bought Season 1 Volume 1 recently, but I bought the first volume of Streets of San Francisco instead.

I get Antenna TV and about 30-40% of Me-TV. They do have great shows. Family Affair holds up pretty well. It's sort of sad watching it now knowing what happened to some of the cast. Now if only some channel will pick up Chico and the Man. :lol:

If I ever figure out how to use youtube, I'll have to upload some episodes. :lol:

and Jake and the Fatman lol
That too. I haven't seen it since it went off the air. lol

It's weird, I've never seen an episode of Family Affair, but I've seen the Anissa Jones True Hollywood Story several times. I would like to see it someday though.
It's a great show. I watched that show all the time when I was little. It's funny how the show just disappeared from syndication. I wonder if it had anything to do with Anissa Jones death? That might also explain Chico and the Man.

Well I hope I never get those channels because if I did they probably wouldn't have any good shows on anymore with my luck. :lol:

This new remake has disaster written all over it. It's going to be a drama with Jerry O'Connell as Herman. :lol:

Didn't the Sleuth network air that show for a while? Another channel I wish I had although I hear they air a lot of newer shows now. :lol:
I don't know what they used to air but the Slueth Network turned into a joke. All they did when I had it was air episodes of USA Network shows. The only other shows they had was MacGyver and The Guardian.

I am surprised that neither of these two networks haven't.:confused:
You would think they would air it. Antenna TV actually aired Maude for 2 straight years in prime-time so at least that show was seen.

Ha! You dodge a bullet on that one..Streets of San Francisco is a much, much, and I mean, much, better show!
The Streets of San Francisco is a very good show. Michael Douglas was so young in it. lol

Ha! You dodge a bullet on that one..Streets of San Francisco is a much, much, and I mean, much, better show!

:lol: I remember the reason why I started watching Jake and The Fatman in the first place... the title. :lol: I liked it though and watched it every week. Haven't seen it in over 20 years though so I'm not sure if it still holds up but I'd like to see it again. :lol:

I've only watched a couple of episodes of Streets so far, but I think it's pretty good. I love seeing the outdoor scenes of San Francisco. :cool:

That too. I haven't seen it since it went off the air. lol

Did Jake and the Fatman ever make it to syndication? I know it had enough episodes, but I don't recall ever seeing it listed in the TV Guides after it left the air. :lol:

It's a great show. I watched that show all the time when I was little. It's funny how the show just disappeared from syndication. I wonder if it had anything to do with Anissa Jones death? That might also explain Chico and the Man.

Yeah, I think I heard somewhere that Freddie's tragic death was one of the reasons why the show didn't do well in syndication. It was in an old syndication guide book. I forget the name. I actually like parts of the final season. Jack Albertson and Scatman Crothers saved it from being a total trainwreck, but it was an entirely different show. By the end there were like 3 or 4 kids living with him, it got kinda weird. :lol:

This new remake has disaster written all over it. It's going to be a drama with Jerry O'Connell as Herman. :lol:

Will this show be airing on NBC? I can't believe the people who run the networks now. 3rd graders could come up with better ideas than this. :lol:

I don't know what they used to air but the Slueth Network turned into a joke. All they did when I had it was air episodes of USA Network shows. The only other shows they had was MacGyver and The Guardian.

Didn't they change it to Cloo? They should get one and start airing classics. :lol:

I am glad that they are releasing other seasons of the show (on DVD) Cannot wait:)

I picked the perfect time to start buying the season sets. :lol:

CBS/Paramount has been releasing a lot of shows lately. I wish they'd release more seasons of Barnaby Jones. :lol:

I agree.
Anyway, I wish my cable affiliate would add Antenna-TV to its list. Last summer, while I was living with an ex of mine. His cable provider had Antenna-TV, and it was a joy to watch episodes of: Maude, Too Close to Comfort, even the Benny Hill Show, Heck, having access to Antenna-TV was the only good about that crappy relationship! :lol:
I almost choked on my soda when you said that. :rofl:

They just announced today that Barney Miller and Benson are coming to Antenna TV. Two more good pickups. :)

Did Jake and the Fatman ever make it to syndication? I know it had enough episodes, but I don't recall ever seeing it listed in the TV Guides after it left the air. :lol:
I never saw it. I remember Doc saying that his local ION affiliate reran it about 5 years ago. I wish someone would pick it up. I thought it was pretty good.

Yeah, I think I heard somewhere that Freddie's tragic death was one of the reasons why the show didn't do well in syndication. It was in an old syndication guide book. I forget the name. I actually like parts of the final season. Jack Albertson and Scatman Crothers saved it from being a total trainwreck, but it was an entirely different show. By the end there were like 3 or 4 kids living with him, it got kinda weird. :lol:
I wish I could see them again. I remember how they originally said Chico was away with his father but later on after all the fans got after them, they finally had an episode where they said he died. I think everyone was ready to move on after that. I still liked the 4th season although it wasn't as good as the first 3. It still beat the 4th season of WBK. :lol:

Will this show be airing on NBC? I can't believe the people who run the networks now. 3rd graders could come up with better ideas than this. :lol:
Who else would do this but NBC. The same network who gave us great reboots of Knight Rider & The Bionic Woman. :lol:

Didn't they change it to Cloo? They should get one and start airing classics. :lol:
I think that's what it called now. I haven't watched it in ages. Originally it looked like a great channel for classic crime shows but who wants to watch marathons of USA Network originals when USA does it already? :lol:

I picked the perfect time to start buying the season sets. :lol:

CBS/Paramount has been releasing a lot of shows lately. I wish they'd release more seasons of Barnaby Jones. :lol:
Barnaby Jones was a great show. It probably wouldn't last today because the Demographic would be over 50. :lol:

Damn, too bad! A good friend of mine, recently interviewed Don Grady, for his radio show; this was about two months ago. Sad to hear about his passing.

:(
I am just shocked about that. I didn't even know he was sick. You know the earliest memories I have are watching My 3 Sons in prime-time. I must have been 4 or 5. I remember Fred MacMurray coming on to introduce the show and then the famous theme song. I used to make my foot go like they did on tv. It's very sad. I still see him as being so young. :(

It sucks. I really liked Don Grady. He was also a musician and was in a band called the Yellow Balloon. Check them out.

I wish I could see them again. I remember how they originally said Chico was away with his father but later on after all the fans got after them, they finally had an episode where they said he died. I think everyone was ready to move on after that. I still liked the 4th season although it wasn't as good as the first 3. It still beat the 4th season of WBK. :lol:

Yeah, you could really feel the sadness and anger in Jack Alberston during that episode. I don't think there was much acting in those scenes. :(

Anything is better than the 4th season of Kotter. :lol: I actually thought the show started to slip the previous year when the Kotters moved out of the apartment and they had the twins. Seasons 1 and 2 were great though.

Who else would do this but NBC. The same network who gave us great reboots of Knight Rider & The Bionic Woman. :lol:

Good guess :rofl:

I've been watching a lot of The original Bionic Woman lately. I actually think it's better than the Six Million Dollar Man. :lol:

I think that's what it called now. I haven't watched it in ages. Originally it looked like a great channel for classic crime shows but who wants to watch marathons of USA Network originals when USA does it already? :lol:

It's too bad. There should be some sort of deal where you can't air newer shows that are available on DVD. :lol:

Barnaby Jones was a great show. It probably wouldn't last today because the Demographic would be over 50. :lol:

You're probably right. :lol: I was reading an article about the show and they had this Barnaby Jones fan club and this group of people, mainly retired, would get together and play golf and hang out with Buddy Ebsen. The big surprise was Richard Nixon was also a member. :eek: :lol:

One of my favorite things about the show is Barnaby drinks milk at least 1-2 times in each episode. :lol:

I love Streets of San Francisco; awesome show! Then again, I am bias, since I adore 70's Cop Shows.

Me too! I like pretty much every show from the 70's that I've seen. :lol:

:(

That's awful. :( I haven't seen My Three Sons in years, but it was one of my favorite shows to watch on N@N.

When John Travolta started to make less appearances, it JTS. :lol:

It's too bad. There should be some sort of deal where you can't air newer shows that are available on DVD. :lol:
NBC is a joke of a network. I was reading that Ann Curry thread. So typical of that network. :lol:

I liked The Bionic Woman. I haven't seen it since The Sci-Fi Channel aired it. I don't know why it didn't last longer though. It was ranked #14 when ABC cancelled it and NBC picked it up. That's something you wouldn't see nowadays. :lol:

It's too bad. There should be some sort of deal where you can't air newer shows that are available on DVD. :lol:
They make all the networks the same anymore. I turn on the tv when I go to bed and all I do is change the channel. Every one of them is the same...all infomercials. :lol:

What I liked about the show was that Barnaby didn't even look like he was capable of being a detective. He sure wasn't able to fight anybody like the young detectives of the time. :lol: I also liked Lee Meriwether. She was a looker. :lol: I don't think I've seen Barnaby since the old PAX Network aired it brieftly. :lol:

That's awful. :( I haven't seen My Three Sons in years, but it was one of my favorite shows to watch on N@N.
It's real depressing when you see actors that you grew up with die like that...especially when you remember them as kids and teenagers. :(

Yeah, I feel bad for her. NBC flips out when the ratings go down and Ann was the scapegoat. This is great news for CBS and ABC's morning shows. The Today Show was one of the few high rated shows NBC has left and now with this mess, ratings can only go down.

It's too bad it wasn't syndicated more. I never even saw an episode until I bought the DVDs. I think Kenneth Johnson quitting the show had a lot to do with it. I hear Season 3 wasn't very good compared to the first 2 seasons, plus there were no crossover episodes with The Six Million Dollar Man not to mention the bad time slot. I still want to see it though because I heard they introduced a Bionic Dog and they brought back the fembots. :lol:

It was interesting, he wasn't tough, but he could always out think the bad guys. He was into forensics too which was way ahead of it's time. Yeah, I had no idea she was ever on the show. I only knew her as catwoman. :lol:

It's real depressing when you see actors that you grew up with die like that...especially when you remember them as kids and teenagers. :(

Yeah. :( I haven't seen an episode of Diff'rent Strokes since Gary Coleman died. It was sad enough watching it after Dana Plato passed away.

I remember when My Three Sons was on N@N.

I think my earliest memories of that network was watching Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. I totally fell in love with that show!

I'd watch pretty much anything on N@N back then. :lol: Dennis the Menace was probably the show I watched the most. It came on right before I had to go to school. :lol:

AMEN. But I admit there were a few shows (from the 1970's) that I was not too fond of: The Waltons, MASH. But then again, I also admit that my tastes for shows from this decade is questionable. Right now I am having a marathon of The Love Boat. God, that show was BAD, but in a good way;)

There are a few shows from that decade that I wouldn't think of buying on DVD, but I'd watch on tv like The Waltons or Little House or the Brady Bunch if nothing else is on. Still better than most of the newer shows. :lol: I haven't seen Love Boat in who knows how long, but I remember liking it and how can you not love the theme song. :lol:

The Waltons was my Mom's favorite show so we had to watch it every week. I liked the show well enough although there were times when I wished I could have watched some other shows that aired opposite it. lol She only cared about a couple shows though so most of the week she watched what I watched. lol

Yeah, I feel bad for her. NBC flips out when the ratings go down and Ann was the scapegoat. This is great news for CBS and ABC's morning shows. The Today Show was one of the few high rated shows NBC has left and now with this mess, ratings can only go down.

NBC has got to be the most mismanaged network in history. :lol:

I enjoyed season 3 of The Bionic Woman although the crossovers were all over. Max , the Bionic Dog...:lol: I actually thought he was cute. They also had a lot of UFO stories that last season. I never saw the show in syndication outside of the Sci-Fi Channel. Now the Six Million Dollar Man was syndicated to local channels in the late 70's.

It was interesting, he wasn't tough, but he could always out think the bad guys. He was into forensics too which was way ahead of it's time. Yeah, I had no idea she was ever on the show. I only knew her as catwoman. :lol:
And he was a totally different character than Jed Clampett. :lol: Did you ever see Cannon which BJ was spun off from? That was a good show too. I think all the Quinn Martin shows were pretty good. I always liked how they would put up the guest stars in the opening credits and then say the name of the episode. :lol:

Yeah. :( I haven't seen an episode of Diff'rent Strokes since Gary Coleman died. It was sad enough watching it after Dana Plato passed away.
It's sort of surreal. I think of that alot when I'm watching Family Affair because Anissa Jones died just 5 years after the show ended. :( I haven't seen DS since Gary died. I imagine it would be the same way though.

There are a few shows from that decade that I wouldn't think of buying on DVD, but I'd watch on tv like The Waltons or Little House or the Brady Bunch if nothing else is on.

I think the 70's had the best shows. Even the lesser shows are better than a lot of todays programs. :lol: You're talking to a guy who wishes that Holmes & Yoyo would come out on DVD. :lol:

my aunt passed away yesterday :(

my aunt passed away yesterday :(

I'm very sorry to hear this, Angela. :( My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

The Waltons was my Mom's favorite show so we had to watch it every week. I liked the show well enough although there were times when I wished I could have watched some other shows that aired opposite it. lol She only cared about a couple shows though so most of the week she watched what I watched. lol

That's how it was for me in the 80's until I got my own tv. My mom would watch her shows and I'd either have to watch them or go to my room. :lol: I always had control of the tv on Saturday mornings and whenever shows like ALF and Family Ties were on though.

NBC has got to be the most mismanaged network in history. :lol:

I'm starting to believe that someone over there is really from another network just trying to sabotage NBC. :lol: The network was in better shape in the late 70's than it is now, I think.

I'm not sure if I watched more than a couple of episodes of the Six Million Dollar Man when I was a kid, but I had this Six Million Dollar Man record that I played to death every day for a while. :lol: I think it belonged to my father or my uncle.

And he was a totally different character than Jed Clampett. :lol: Did you ever see Cannon which BJ was spun off from? That was a good show too. I think all the Quinn Martin shows were pretty good. I always liked how they would put up the guest stars in the opening credits and then say the name of the episode. :lol:

I watched an epoisode and didn't really have an opinion about it. I'd have to watch more episodes. I did enjoy his appearance in that first season episodes of Baraby Jones he appeared in though. Yeah, I don't know a lot of the actors but it's a nice surprise whenever they mention someone like Bill Bixby or William Shatner. :lol: Another show of his I want to see is the Fugitive. I've only seen a couple of episodes. Loved the movie.

It's sort of surreal. I think of that alot when I'm watching Family Affair because Anissa Jones died just 5 years after the show ended. :( I haven't seen DS since Gary died. I imagine it would be the same way though.

I remember reading a list somewhere on here which mentioned a bunch of celebrity deaths. A lot of them I never knew about and many of them were just kids really. Until recently, I never knew that the young girl who played young Mallory in one of the Family Ties Christmas episodes died about 10 years ago. :(

All the kids from Diff'rent Strokes had troubled home lives. It's pretty sad. I'm glad Todd cleaned up his act before it was too late.

I think the 70's had the best shows. Even the lesser shows are better than a lot of todays programs. :lol: You're talking to a guy who wishes that Holmes & Yoyo would come out on DVD. :lol:

:lol: Stranger things have happened. I'd definitely buy a show like Mr. T and Tina just because I'm a fan of Pat Morita. :lol: I'd even buy a complete series set of The San Pedro Beach Bums or the Roller Girls.

That's how it was for me in the 80's until I got my own tv. My mom would watch her shows and I'd either have to watch them or go to my room. :lol: I always had control of the tv on Saturday mornings and whenever shows like ALF and Family Ties were on though.
Oh yea I always had control of the tv on Saturday mornings. I used to get up at the crack of dawn. :lol: I liked those days though because we all watched tv together. My parents liked AITF and the rest of Norman Lear's shows so I didn't have much problem watching my shows. The biggest shows that my Mom liked was The Waltons and Little House on the Praire and I liked them too. I know she liked Cagney & Lacey and Lou Grant but they came on at 10 and I was in bed by then. Cagney & Lacey was one show I could never stand though. :lol:

I know I watched more NBC shows in the late 70's then I do now. I remember I watched Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, Real People, Little House, Grizzley Adams, Facts of Life, Hello Larry...:lol:

I had a bunch of Six Million Dollar Man toys. I remember I had an action figure and his rocket ship. :lol:

The Fugitive is a great show. A & E reran the whole series in the early 90's I think. It's very suspenseful and David Janssen is great in the role. William Conrad ( Cannon) actually narrates the show. :lol: The Harrison Ford Fugitive is actually one of the better tv to theatrical movies ever made.

Wow I never knew that. :( I think the ones that had good home lives are the ones that make it after their tv career is over. I remember Gary Coleman doing tv commercials with his mom. He looked so happy. I guess it was all a lie. :(

:lol: Stranger things have happened. I'd definitely buy a show like Mr. T and Tina just because I'm a fan of Pat Morita. :lol: I'd even buy a complete series set of The San Pedro Beach Bums or the Roller Girls.
I do remember watching Mr. T and Tina but I think I stopped watching after the first episode. It wasn't very funny. I don't ever remember watching those other 2 shows but they probably weren't on long enough for me to notice. :lol:

my aunt passed away yesterday :(
I am so sorry Angela. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this awful time. :(

I was watching an episode, from the show's second season. The plot was about Julie McCoy's 10th High School reunion. Well, in this episode, Julie falls in love with her old high school sweetheart; but, unfortunately, for her, he is involved with Lisa Hartman. Julie tries to steal him away from Lisa. COME ON, get real! This is Lisa Hartman, we are talking about? It was one of the lamest episodes I have ever seen!

:lol: What guy in his right mind would dump Lisa Hartman for some average cruise director.

HA! I am still awaiting, impatiently, I might add, for the release of The New Odd Couple:lol:

:lol: I'd buy it just for the Odd Couple connection. I'd also buy that cartoon version they did in the 70's with the talking dog and cat. :crazy:

Oh yea I always had control of the tv on Saturday mornings. I used to get up at the crack of dawn. :lol: I liked those days though because we all watched tv together.

Cagney & Lacey was one show I could never stand though. :lol:

Those were the days. I'd watch cartoons until noon then it was wrestling followed by bowling. :lol:

By the time I was 10 or 11, I had my own tv so I didn't watch much tv with my family after that. I still have memories of watching shows like Simon and Simon, Cagney and Lacey, Matlock and Murder She Wrote with the family though. I remember liking Cagney and Lacey, but I was so young, I didn't know better. :lol:

I know I watched more NBC shows in the late 70's then I do now. I remember I watched Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, Real People, Little House, Grizzley Adams, Facts of Life, Hello Larry...:lol:

I had a bunch of Six Million Dollar Man toys. I remember I had an action figure and his rocket ship. :lol:

People like to joke about Hello, Larry but if you were to compare it to something like Chelsea, it would look like The Honeymooners compared to that crap. :lol:

Some of those unopened action figures from the 70's and 80's can fetch big bucks. I wish I hadn't opened all my action figures I had when I was a kid, Superman, DC superheroes, Star wars. They'd probably be worth a fortune. :lol:

The Fugitive is a great show. A & E reran the whole series in the early 90's I think. It's very suspenseful and David Janssen is great in the role. William Conrad ( Cannon) actually narrates the show. :lol: The Harrison Ford Fugitive is actually one of the better tv to theatrical movies ever made.

I'm afraid to buy the show on DVD because there was a huge issue with the music. A lot of the soundtrack had been replaced. :rolleyes: I hear they're going to come out with a complete series set soon that fixes all the mistakes on the season sets though so that's good.

Yeah, that's probably the best one. I can't think of too many others I enjoyed.

Wow I never knew that. :( I think the ones that had good home lives are the ones that make it after their tv career is over. I remember Gary Coleman doing tv commercials with his mom. He looked so happy. I guess it was all a lie. :(

Yeah, her name was Bridgette Andersen. Her biggest role was in the movie Savannah Smiles. :( She appeared in some other shows around that time too but I don't remember seeing her.

I do remember watching Mr. T and Tina but I think I stopped watching after the first episode. It wasn't very funny. I don't ever remember watching those other 2 shows but they probably weren't on long enough for me to notice. :lol:

Also there's a connection to Welcome Back Kotter. The sweathoggs appear at the beginning of the first episode. That scene was on youtube for a while, but I'm not sure if it's still there. :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMgF2ZbuUEY

I looked at the other videos the guy uploaded and he has some pretty rare stuff like the second pilot of All in the Family from 1969 and an unsold pilot of Turner and Hooch. :lol:

Thanks for posting that Justin. Wow, that's a good find. :) You can find just about anything over there. Now if you can find Checking In, Solomon will be very happy. :lol:

I remember when Six Million Dollar Man was on TV. My vividest recollection of this show, was visiting Universal Studios, and visiting the Six Million Dollar Man set. I think this was back in 1974?
I tell you Tara. I'm so jealous of you. It must be great living out there. :)

:lol: What guy in his right mind would dump Lisa Hartman for some average cruise director.
Well I had a crush on Julie but that was before I found out about the drugs she was on. :lol:

:lol: I'd buy it just for the Odd Couple connection. I'd also buy that cartoon version they did in the 70's with the talking dog and cat. :crazy:

I used to have action figures of Batman. I had all the villains and Batman and Robin. Unfortunately they all didn't look all that great when I was though with them. They looked like they had been through the wars. :lol:

Probably The Brady Bunch and The Addams Family. Most of the remakes are a joke because the people making the movie don't respect the fans or the tv show.

Yeah, her name was Bridgette Andersen. Her biggest role was in the movie Savannah Smiles. :( She appeared in some other shows around that time too but I don't remember seeing her.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgette_Andersen
Wow that's so sad. :( It seems like she didn't have a great home life either. I never saw Savannah Smiles. I probably saw her as a guest star on some shows and just don't remember.

Ron Glass was a phenomenal Felix (and I am not being bias, either). Demond Wilson, as Oscar, not so much.:lol:
I do remember watching that show. Although it wasn't as good as the original, I didn't think it was that bad. :lol:

And he was a totally different character than Jed Clampett. :lol: Did you ever see Cannon which BJ was spun off from? That was a good show too. I think all the Quinn Martin shows were pretty good. I always liked how they would put up the guest stars in the opening credits and then say the name of the episode. :lol:

I found Cannon Season 1 Vols. 1 & 2 at Big Lots last year for $10 a piece and i grabbed em up lol Love that show I've always been a fan of the QM shows

I think the 70's had the best shows. Even the lesser shows are better than a lot of todays programs. :lol: You're talking to a guy who wishes that Holmes & Yoyo would come out on DVD. :lol:

Holmes & Yoyo :lol: Havent heard that one mentioned in quite a while. Schuck and Schull made a good pair. I would also like to see "Hot L Baltimore" released on DVD but i'm not holding my breath lol

The Fugitive is a great show. A & E reran the whole series in the early 90's I think. It's very suspenseful and David Janssen is great in the role. William Conrad ( Cannon) actually narrates the show. :lol: The Harrison Ford Fugitive is actually one of the better tv to theatrical movies ever made.

I also found the first two seasons of The Fugitive at Big Lots last year and snatched them up lol I know a good deal when i see one lol QM shows always had such great guest stars.

:lol: I'd buy it just for the Odd Couple connection. I'd also buy that cartoon version they did in the 70's with the talking dog and cat. :crazy:

I remember watching the "Oddball Couple" cartoon too lol

I actually enjoyed the New Odd Couple. Recorded a few episodes when TV Land ran it about fifteen years ago

I'm afraid to buy the show on DVD because there was a huge issue with the music. A lot of the soundtrack had been replaced. :rolleyes: I hear they're going to come out with a complete series set soon that fixes all the mistakes on the season sets though so that's good.

Yeah, that's probably the best one. I can't think of too many others I enjoyed.


After watching the first couple seasons on DVD, I don't believe much of the original music was altered that much since in the original episodes, almost all of the music was instrumental background music anyway. It really doesn't have that much of an impact on the episodes themselves as the music does in other shows like WKRP or Miami Vice.

Do not get me wrong. Julie was cute. But she was not in the same caliber as Lisa Hartman.

Few were. :lol: Lisa Hartman was on The Bewitched spinoff Tabitha and people said she resembled Elizabeth Montgomery who was IMO, the most beautiful woman on television in the 60's and early 70's.

Thanks for posting that Justin. Wow, that's a good find. :) You can find just about anything over there. Now if you can find Checking In, Solomon will be very happy. :lol:

No problem, Sonny. :cool: I watched it and thought it was ok. It was great to see the sweathoggs and I liked the part where Mr. T had some sort of remote control jet pack and was flying. :lol: The supporting cast could have been a lot better though so I can see why this show failed.

Just for kicks, I typed in Holmes and Yoyo and I found an episodes. :rofl: Haven't watched it, but it's in 3 parts if you want to check it out.

Well I had a crush on Julie but that was before I found out about the drugs she was on. :lol:

:lol: She was cute, especially when she had the real short hair. I never knew about her drug use though so that's a shock. :lol:

I used to have action figures of Batman. I had all the villains and Batman and Robin. Unfortunately they all didn't look all that great when I was though with them. They looked like they had been through the wars. :lol:

I had the batman figures too. :lol: Batman, Robin, The Joker and the Penguin who had this umbrella that you could remove from his hand. :lol:

Yeah, that's the way it was then. I'd play with the action figures until their limbs fell off. I still remember going nuts when my friend broke one of the legs off my wonder woman action figure. :lol:

Probably The Brady Bunch and The Addams Family. Most of the remakes are a joke because the people making the movie don't respect the fans or the tv show.

Yeah, I liked the Brady Bunch movies and the first Addams Family movie. I also liked the first Charlie Angels film, but it's not even half as good as the original show. :lol:

Hey, cocaine was the drug of choice back in the '70s & '80's:lol: . Lauren Tewes has lived a hard life though:( 4 failed marriages, fired from The Love Boat, a cocaine addition. Worse, she lost a daughter, whom was born prematurely

I never even knew about her problems with cocaine. That's so sad. :(

I also found the first two seasons of The Fugitive at Big Lots last year and snatched them up lol I know a good deal when i see one lol QM shows always had such great guest stars.

I wish the Big Lots near my area had more shows. All I could ever find was a season of Walker Texas Ranger and Twin Peaks. :lol:

I remember watching the "Oddball Couple" cartoon too lol

I actually enjoyed the New Odd Couple. Recorded a few episodes when TV Land ran it about fifteen years ago

It's sad what TV Land has become. You'll never see shows like that on TV Land ever again. :(

After watching the first couple seasons on DVD, I don't believe much of the original music was altered that much since in the original episodes, almost all of the music was instrumental background music anyway. It really doesn't have that much of an impact on the episodes themselves as the music does in other shows like WKRP or Miami Vice.

A bunch of people at the Home Theater Forum were complaining about the sets, but then again they always make a mountain out of a molehill. :lol: Some people actually got a hold of the Fugitive Complete series sets which corrected the mistakes before the orders were canceled for some reason. A few of the sets were selling on e-bay for $600. :crazy:

No problem, Sonny. :cool: I watched it and thought it was ok. It was great to see the sweathoggs and I liked the part where Mr. T had some sort of remote control jet pack and was flying. :lol: The supporting cast could have been a lot better though so I can see why this show failed.

Just for kicks, I typed in Holmes and Yoyo and I found an episodes. :rofl: Haven't watched it, but it's in 3 parts if you want to check it out.

Thanks Justin. :) It was great seeing it again. It's a little corny but I still like it. :lol:

Thank God for youtube. lol

:lol: She was cute, especially when she had the real short hair. I never knew about her drug use though so that's a shock. :lol:
It was big news at the time she was fired. TV Guide even had a big article about it. :eek:

I had the batman figures too. :lol: Batman, Robin, The Joker and the Penguin who had this umbrella that you could remove from his hand. :lol:

Yeah, that's the way it was then. I'd play with the action figures until their limbs fell off. I still remember going nuts when my friend broke one of the legs off my wonder woman action figure. :lol:
I did that with all my action figures. I had a whole set of GI Joe's. You push their back and they would karate chop. I used to have them fight the bad guys all the time. Unfortunately afterward, they needed to check into the ER. :lol:

Yeah, I liked the Brady Bunch movies and the first Addams Family movie. I also liked the first Charlie Angels film, but it's not even half as good as the original show. :lol:
For some reason I never watched The Chaelie's Angels movie. Maybe because I heard they weren't going to use guns. :lol:

I wish the Big Lots near my area had more shows. All I could ever find was a season of Walker Texas Ranger and Twin Peaks. :lol:
I don't know where The Big Lots is around here. I've never seen one. :eek:

Holmes & Yoyo :lol: Havent heard that one mentioned in quite a while. Schuck and Schull made a good pair. I would also like to see "Hot L Baltimore" released on DVD but i'm not holding my breath lol
I'd love to see Hot L Baltimore too. I remember liking the show but I was only 9 at the time. I didn't even get half the jokes. :lol:

Sad news about Andy Griffith. :(

I found out that Me-TV is going to air The Mod Squad with him guest starring in it today at 1. I have not seen that show since the early 70's. :eek:l

Happy 4th of July everybody. :)

It was big news at the time she was fired. TV Guide even had a big article about it. :eek:

I know, I missed a lot. :eek: TV Guide was actually one of the first things I remember reading. :lol: I was probably about 4 or 5 at the time she was fired, but I know I never read the articles, just the TV listings. :lol:

I did that with all my action figures. I had a whole set of GI Joe's. You push their back and they would karate chop. I used to have them fight the bad guys all the time. Unfortunately afterward, they needed to check into the ER. :lol:

:lol: I had a few G.I. Joe's. One of my cousins had practically every G.I. Joe they ever made, I was jealous. :lol:

For some reason I never watched The Chaelie's Angels movie. Maybe because I heard they weren't going to use guns. :lol:

I watched it because Drew Barrymore and Bill Murray were in it. :lol: It's worth a look, I think. Better than the remake tv show.

I don't know where The Big Lots is around here. I've never seen one. :eek:

I think they have a website where you locate the nearest one if you put in your zipcode. The nearest one to me is about 30 miles away. :lol:

Sad news about Andy Griffith. :(

I found out that Me-TV is going to air The Mod Squad with him guest starring in it today at 1. I have not seen that show since the early 70's. :eek:l

Yeah, it was a huge shock even though he was 86. :( There aren't too many tv legends left.

Now ME-TV is a network that cares. I was actually surprised that TV Land was airing a marathon of the Andy Griffith Show today given their track record. I've seen a few episodes of Mod Squad on youtube. Good show. :cool: I had the misfortune of watching that awful Mod Squad movie they made about 10 years ago. :lol: Probably the worst tv show movie I've ever seen.

Happy 4th of July everybody. :)

Happy 4th of July, Sonny! :cool:

I know, I missed a lot. :eek: TV Guide was actually one of the first things I remember reading. :lol: I was probably about 4 or 5 at the time she was fired, but I know I never read the articles, just the TV listings. :lol:
I wish I had started reading the tv guides a lot sooner than I did...better yet I wish I had started to collect them about a decade before I did. :lol: It's interesting reading those old articles but I missed out on a bunch of classic shows. :lol:

:lol: I had a few G.I. Joe's. One of my cousins had practically every G.I. Joe they ever made, I was jealous. :lol:
I forget all the different GI Joe's I had. I know I had him and The Jeep. I had the tower and I had some of his friends. I can't even remember them all now. I used to get something from that collection every year at Christmas it seemed. :lol: Man I wish I would have saved some of my toys from the 70's. :lol:

I watched it because Drew Barrymore and Bill Murray were in it. :lol: It's worth a look, I think. Better than the remake tv show.
I didn't even watch the remake. Some things should be left alone. :lol: I might check out the movie one of these times. At least John Forsythe was in it. :lol:

I think they have a website where you locate the nearest one if you put in your zipcode. The nearest one to me is about 30 miles away. :lol:
30 miles. :eek: I'll have to check it. I haven't bought any tv dvd's lately. Luckily I have Antenna TV and Me-TV to hold me over. :lol:

I watched The Mod Squad today. I forgot how good of a show it was. Aaron Spelling knew what the public liked. :lol: Andy Griffith was great in it. It's too bad he didn't play drama that much. I didn't watch the Mod Squad remake. That looked worse than The Dukes of Hazard remake. :lol: I think the only reason TV Land is doing it is because they have access to TAGS. They don't care about any of their classics anyway so it's easy to interrupt them. If they really cared they would get a bunch of his shows and air them like they did with John Ritter.

Happy 4th of July, Sonny! :cool:
Happy 4th Justin. :)

I was going to go to the fireworks tonight but I think I'll stay home. It is just too humid out there. :eek:

Is it Antenna or Me-TV that is airing Mod Squad?
It's Me-TV. I don't know if it's on their regular schedule or not as I only get a few hours of it during the day. It was on at 1 yesterday in place of Gunsmoke. It's a very underrated show.

Happy 4th of July Everyone :wave::)
I hope you had a wonderful 4th Tara. :)

It's Me-TV. I don't know if it's on their regular schedule or not as I only get a few hours of it during the day. It was on at 1 yesterday in place of Gunsmoke. It's a very underrated show.

I agree, definately underrated. Peggy Lipton is H-O-T Hot :lol:

You got that right Doc. :faint:

I wish I had started reading the tv guides a lot sooner than I did...better yet I wish I had started to collect them about a decade before I did. :lol: It's interesting reading those old articles but I missed out on a bunch of classic shows. :lol:

TV Guide should set up an archive on their site where you can view old TV Guides. Heck, they could even charge a few dollars a month to view them, I'd pay. :lol:

I had a bunch of the newer TV guides, but I threw most of them away. :lol: They're basically a tabloid magazine now. The only ones I kept were a couple of Fall Previews and the Farrah Fawcett tribute. Sadly, I only have two real TV guides before it became a magazine and they're from 2004. :lol:

I forget all the different GI Joe's I had. I know I had him and The Jeep. I had the tower and I had some of his friends. I can't even remember them all now. I used to get something from that collection every year at Christmas it seemed. :lol: Man I wish I would have saved some of my toys from the 70's. :lol:

I still remember getting a Green Lantern action figure for Christmas in 1985 and thinking it was the best gift I'd ever gotten at that point. It probably cost about $5. :lol:

I didn't even watch the remake. Some things should be left alone. :lol: I might check out the movie one of these times. At least John Forsythe was in it. :lol:

It's kinda sad that the complete series remake will be available on DVD soon and Season 5 of the original Charlie's Angles still isn't out. :(

30 miles. :eek: I'll have to check it. I haven't bought any tv dvd's lately. Luckily I have Antenna TV and Me-TV to hold me over. :lol:

Night Court season 6 is the last TV DVD purchase for me until Fall. I'm going into semi retirement from collecting. :lol:

I watched The Mod Squad today. I forgot how good of a show it was. Aaron Spelling knew what the public liked. :lol: Andy Griffith was great in it. It's too bad he didn't play drama that much. I didn't watch the Mod Squad remake. That looked worse than The Dukes of Hazard remake. :lol: I think the only reason TV Land is doing it is because they have access to TAGS. They don't care about any of their classics anyway so it's easy to interrupt them. If they really cared they would get a bunch of his shows and air them like they did with John Ritter.

Yeah, I saw him in an episode of Bionic Woman recently and was surprised to see him. :lol: I never saw the whole Dukes movie, but from what I saw it was still better than the Mod Squad movie.

If they hadn't done something for Andy I bet they would have got a bunch of angry e-mails. :lol: I remember reading about the shows they aired for the John Ritter tribute. I thought that was great even though I didn't have TV Land at the time.

Happy 4th Justin. :)

I was going to go to the fireworks tonight but I think I'll stay home. It is just too humid out there. :eek:

The last time I saw a fireworks show was 15 years ago. I didn't even watch any of the specials they had on tv for the first time in years. :lol:

I love The Mod Squad. I actually have the first season on DVD. I need to look for it, and have myself a Mod Squad Marathon...LOL

:lol: How many seasons are out on DVD? I'd probably buy the show if they released more seasons.

I agree, definately underrated. Peggy Lipton is H-O-T Hot :lol:

She doesn't act much anymore does she? I remember seeing her on an episode of Wings. She must have been in her late forties, but she was still smoking hot. :lol:

:lol: How many seasons are out on DVD? I'd probably buy the show if they released more seasons.


Mod Squad is another show i found at Big Lots last year for $10 a Vol. It's one of those shows that has each season broke up into two volumes so I got Season One Vols. 1 & 2

She doesn't act much anymore does she? I remember seeing her on an episode of Wings. She must have been in her late forties, but she was still smoking hot. :lol:


I think she's pretty much retired but she did interviews for the Mod Squad season 1 special features and she is still looking good in her 60's lol

Now that would be cool. They used to have a cover gallery on their website but I think that's gone now. I don't even go to the website much anymore. :lol:

I still have the tv guides delivered to my door. I don't even look at them all. I just stick them in a pile. I don't think they're going to be worth anything. :lol:

It's kinda sad that the complete series remake will be available on DVD soon and Season 5 of the original Charlie's Angles still isn't out. :(
That's just a crime. :ohno: Their were only 13 episodes during the last season. They could have released it with season 4 if they wanted to. :ohno:

Yeah, I saw him in an episode of Bionic Woman recently and was surprised to see him. :lol: I never saw the whole Dukes movie, but from what I saw it was still better than the Mod Squad movie.

If they hadn't done something for Andy I bet they would have got a bunch of angry e-mails. :lol: I remember reading about the shows they aired for the John Ritter tribute. I thought that was great even though I didn't have TV Land at the time.
TV Land went all out on John Ritter. Some of the stuff they aired I didn't even remember. :lol: TCM is going to have a movie tribute for Andy on the 18th I think. They're supposed to air Face in the Crowd and No Time for Sergeants. Those are 2 of his best movies. TV Land could have done so much more. Andy appeared on a lot of shows and tv movies in the 70's. Some probably haven't been seen in years.

The last time I saw a fireworks show was 15 years ago. I didn't even watch any of the specials they had on tv for the first time in years. :lol:
This will be the second year in a row that I didn't go. I did go down to the area earlier to get my funnel cake though. :lol: It was just too hot. This heat wave is killing me. Tomorrow it's supposed to get up to 102. And that's not counting the heat index. :eek: Next week it's supposed to get back to the 80's. I can hardly wait. :lol:

I think she's pretty much retired but she did interviews for the Mod Squad season 1 special features and she is still looking good in her 60's lol
I remember watching her in Twin Picks years ago. I didn't understand one thing about the show but I watched for her. :lol:

Mod Squad is another show i found at Big Lots last year for $10 a Vol. It's one of those shows that has each season broke up into two volumes so I got Season One Vols. 1 & 2

That's the best way to get them, when they're cheap. :lol: I could never spend the full price on only half a season of a show. If I bought something like Streets of San Francisco season 2 volumes 1 & 2 at full price, it would cost about $70. :crazy:

Now that would be cool. They used to have a cover gallery on their website but I think that's gone now. I don't even go to the website much anymore. :lol:

I still have the tv guides delivered to my door. I don't even look at them all. I just stick them in a pile. I don't think they're going to be worth anything. :lol:

I can't even remember the last time I went there. It was probably a time when I forgot they got rid of the original JTS site and it brought me to the tv guide site. :lol:

You could have those magazines for 50 years and they'd probably still be worthless. :lol: Some of the old ones are worth a lot of money though and the Fall Previews are usually worth at least $20 no matter what year they are from.

TV Land went all out on John Ritter. Some of the stuff they aired I didn't even remember. :lol: TCM is going to have a movie tribute for Andy on the 18th I think.

Some probably haven't been seen in years.

I remember being mad that I didn't have it because they showed an episode of Hooperman. :lol: I finally saw part of an episode that was posted on youtube. I wish they'd put it out on DVD.

I've seen clips of a Face in the Crowd. It looked interesting. I'll have to remember to watch that. :cool:

This will be the second year in a row that I didn't go. I did go down to the area earlier to get my funnel cake though. :lol: It was just too hot. This heat wave is killing me.

It's pretty bad when you're rooting for the weather to get down to the 80's. :lol: It's gotten in the 90's here several times. I don't know how people in places like Texas and Arizona survive. :lol:

I remember watching her in Twin Picks years ago. I didn't understand one thing about the show but I watched for her. :lol:

That's a show I bought but haven't watched yet. I had no idea she was on the show. :lol:

They're just trying to cheat you. They could put all the episodes on one season of a DVD. The Streets of San Francisco didn't have 39 episodes a year. lol

I can't even remember the last time I went there. It was probably a time when I forgot they got rid of the original JTS site and it brought me to the tv guide site. :lol:

I'd love to have all the Fall Previews since 1953. Currently I got all of them dating back to 1982. lol

Hooperman was a good show. I think it would have done better if it was an hour show. I'm not sure the audience knew what to think of it. lol One minute it was serious, the next he was clowning around with his dog. lol

It's pretty bad when you're rooting for the weather to get down to the 80's. :lol: It's gotten in the 90's here several times. I don't know how people in places like Texas and Arizona survive. :lol:
It's 11 at night and the heat index here is still 98 degrees. :eek: I've never seen anything like it up here in PA. It's like we all went to Hell. :lol:

That's a show I bought but haven't watched yet. I had no idea she was on the show. :lol:
Yea she was on it and was as Hotttt as ever. :faint:

I saw that I spelled Twin Peaks, Twin Picks. The heat must be getting to me. lol

They're just trying to cheat you. They could put all the episodes on one season of a DVD. The Streets of San Francisco didn't have 39 episodes a year. lol

Yeah, CBS/Paramount is the worst at putting out the hour long shows with the Season/Volume crap. :lol: They've done it with most of the dramas like Vega$, Mod Squad, Streets, Love Boat, etc. The only hour long shows I can think of where they haven't done that are Star Trek and Beverly Hills 90210.

I'd love to have all the Fall Previews since 1953. Currently I got all of them dating back to 1982. lol

That's a pretty good collection. :cool: I was at this blog and the guy was posting articles from the Fall Previews of the 1980's. He also posted a few from the late 70's. I'll have to look for it. :lol:

Hooperman was a good show. I think it would have done better if it was an hour show. I'm not sure the audience knew what to think of it. lol One minute it was serious, the next he was clowning around with his dog. lol

It's 11 at night and the heat index here is still 98 degrees. :eek: I've never seen anything like it up here in PA. It's like we all went to Hell. :lol:

That's crazy. It's gotten up to the mid 70's a few times late at night up here, but nothing like what you're experiencing. :lol:

:lol: I saw another clip of an episode Norman Fell appeared in and he was a ventriloquist and he had his dummy and the dummy called him a pervert. :lol:
I remember Norman Fell on Hooperman. He should have been billed as a special guest star though. :lol: Hooperman was probably a pioneer. Nowadays it probably would have a long run. :lol:

That's crazy. It's gotten up to the mid 70's a few times late at night up here, but nothing like what you're experiencing. :lol:
It's still humid here today. A cold front is supposed to come through tonight. Next week it's only supposed to be in the 80's...I hope. :lol:

I'm anxious to see if I'll be able to get on the internet tomorrow. That virus thing has got me worried. I remember a long time ago that I searched on Google and it identified me as a virus. lol They said FB sent out warnings about it. I don't remember if I got one or not but some of the people talking about it over there are right. If you get an E-Mail and it says you have been infected and click here to clean out your computer, who's going to do that? That's what infects your computer to begin with. lol I did go to that page that Jenny posted on CC and it said it appears my computer's fine so I guess we'll see.

They wouldn't so that with Star Trek. The Trekkies would be all over them. :lol:

That's a group you do not want to mess with. :lol:

If you find any before 1982 , post the link in the thread. I always enjoy reading them. :cool:

I will. :cool: I'm going to check my browsing history. It was only 2-3 weeks ago but I go to so many sites, it's hard to remember. :lol:

I remember Norman Fell on Hooperman. He should have been billed as a special guest star though. :lol: Hooperman was probably a pioneer. Nowadays it probably would have a long run. :lol:

You're probably right. :lol: And I'm willing to bet it was a much better show than most of the single camera comedies they make today.

I did that couple of months ago just to be sure and it said I was alright. It sucks that a lot of people may not have internet acces, I'd probably go crazy if I lost mine. :lol:

I will. :cool: I'm going to check my browsing history. It was only 2-3 weeks ago but I go to so many sites, it's hard to remember. :lol:

Wow, that was quick. :lol:

Hey Thanks a lot Justin. :) I enjoyed looking at some of them. I know I had a few of them. In 1980 we went on Vacation up to White Lake around labor day and I remember getting the Fall Preview TV Guide. I don't know why I didn't keep it. :lol: Somebody should just open a website and post all the previews from all the TV Guides. I'd know I'd enjoy it. :lol:

You're probably right. :lol: And I'm willing to bet it was a much better show than most of the single camera comedies they make today.
I can't stand half of these single camera sitcoms, especially on NBC. I don't think they're that funny...not like the old sitcoms. :lol: The Middle is about the best one out there. I do like CBS' sitcoms. And I think TBBT is the best one on tv. It's the only one that makes me laugh out loud. :lol:

I did that couple of months ago just to be sure and it said I was alright. It sucks that a lot of people may not have internet acces, I'd probably go crazy if I lost mine. :lol:
I would too. Last night I kept looking at the clock and about 11:45 I got knocked offline. Luckily it was only about a minute. I hope the FBI puts these criminals behind bars for life. Nobody has a right to deny me of my pursuit of happiness. :rofl:

Now I have to continue by 5 year argument with Larry Tate over which Darrin on Bewitched was the best. :lol:

Hey Thanks a lot Justin. :) I enjoyed looking at some of them. I know I had a few of them. In 1980 we went on Vacation up to White Lake around labor day and I remember getting the Fall Preview TV Guide. I don't know why I didn't keep it. :lol: Somebody should just open a website and post all the previews from all the TV Guides. I'd know I'd enjoy it. :lol:

You're welcome, Sonny. :cool: You would think with all the sites dedicated to tv that someone would have done that already. Even Playboy has an archive where you can view any issue of their magazine. :lol:

The hour long dramas on USA are funnier than the NBC sitcoms. I laugh more at an episode of Psych or heck, even Burn Notice than an episode of 30 Rock or Parks. :lol: The Middle is the only single camera sitcom I watch regularly. Mainly it's because of Patricia Heaton. :lol: I don't really find it laugh out loud funny, but it's not vulgar which is rare for a show today and I like all the characters and you get the sense that they really care about each other.

BBT is still the king. :lol: It's the only current sitcom or show for that matter that I buy on DVD. I like Two Broke Girls, but I'm not sure if it's going to be able to replace 2 1/2 Men in that 9 PM timeslot.

I just looked at that thread and couldn't believe it. :lol: Gotta love how he puts Larry Tate at the end of his post, like he really believes he is Larry Tate. :rofl:

That Larry Tate person is a huge troll

Hey you guys. Look at this thread. Now she is a troll. lol

I watch quite a few of USA programs, Royal Pains, White Collar, Covert Affairs. They're better than anything NBC airs. Now that Chuck is gone I don't watch the network at all. I've watched Community and 30 Rock once in a while but that's it. I never care if I miss an episode. What I get tired of is all those people who complain because CBS airs sitcoms with a laughtrack or in front of an audience. That's what a sitcom is. And it appears most people agree as they are the ones that do very well in syndication. All those single cam sitcoms usually air after midnight on my local channels. Good shows to fall asleep to. :lol:

Yea I love Two Broke Girls. I hope it can keep up it's ratings. I love Mike & Molly too. It took me awhile to get into it. TBBT is far and away the best sitcom on tv. They also have the best cast. :cool:

:lol: It's getting harder and harder for me to remember what life was like before the internet. lol
I know it's hard for me to remember. I know I used to buy the newspaper every day but now I just go on the internet. I never got any Dallas Cowboy news until gameday and now I get it daily. I think we've all been spoiled. :lol:

I just looked at that thread and couldn't believe it. :lol: Gotta love how he puts Larry Tate at the end of his post, like he really believes he is Larry Tate. :rofl:
Well I guess if he is the Larry Tate then maybe he does know Darrin Stephens. :lol: Seriously he's been doing this for years. I think he likes the attention. He says he likes Dick York but does everything to trash him. He even posts a letter from York's wife showing how York and Montgomery didn't like each other and then he says only believe part of it, not the part where she defends Dick. He's an idiot. :lol:

Yea I agree. Everything he does is for attention. :ohno:

I saw that. :lol: Sounds a lot like someone imdb message boards who was always talking about Laurie Metcalf being unhappy. Maybe they're related. :lol:

They are comedy snobs. :lol: Yeah, the only single camera comedies that air on my local channels are It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Scrubs and they air at 1 in the morning. :lol:

I hope it does well, I'm just afraid that it's too soon. I think they should have waited until after 2 1/2 Men ended to put a new show in that time slot or they could have moved Mike and Molly into that slot since it's been on longer. I'm looking forward to the next season of BBT. It will be interesting to see Howard and Bernadette as a married couple. :lol:

I know it's hard for me to remember. I know I used to buy the newspaper every day but now I just go on the internet. I never got any Dallas Cowboy news until gameday and now I get it daily. I think we've all been spoiled. :lol:

:lol: They must be losing a lot of money because of the internet. I noticed that my local newspaper now costs 75 cents. It used to be only 50 cents a year or 2 ago. :lol:

He better be careful or Samantha might cast a spell on him and turn him into a jackass. Oh, wait, too late. :lol:

The guy is nuts. Sure we love our tv shows and maybe we can be a little obsessive at times, but he takes it to a whole other level. :crazy:

It's Always Sunny...is one of the few single cams I like and that's because they are all so stupid. :lol: Yea I've noticed that's on late at night. I could never get into Scrubs. Maybe the reason sitcoms were having such a hard time last decade was that the networks started making these type of sitcoms. :lol:

Yea they probably should have waited. I don't know about that new show Partners. It's from the creator of Will & Grace. I was never much of a fan of that show. :lol: Mike & Molly is one of my favorites. but for some reason it probably isn't strong enough for a 9:00 slot. I can't wait for TBBT either. I hear people complaining about Bernadette & Amy. I think they've made the show even better. Howard is a very underrated character. He tries to play everything straight and he's hilarious. :lol:

:lol: They must be losing a lot of money because of the internet. I noticed that my local newspaper now costs 75 cents. It used to be only 50 cents a year or 2 ago. :lol:
I bought a USA TODAY a couple months ago after I couldn't get on the internet for a day. It cost a dollar. :eek: I used to buy it every week back in the 80's. It was 50 cents then and it was the most expensive paper. I think our local paper was only 25 cents. USA TODAY used to be a great paper but I noticed it wasn't as good as it used to be. I always used to get it for the entertainment news and sports.

Well he called me a Yorkie so I put Dick York in my avatar. :rofl:

Well Direct TV turned off all the Viacom channels. I don't even miss them. The only thing I'll miss is Hot in Cleveland on TV Land. One show on all those networks. :eek: I never noticed that Viacom is nothing but junk. :eek:

I've seen a couple of episodes and you're right. :lol: I remember seeing previews for it when it started and they were promoting it as some sort of anti-Friends sitcom, and they made fun of the Friends opening. :lol:

I could never really get into Scrubs either although I tried. The main characters were more annoying than funny although I did enjoy the few appearances John Ritter made.


Is that the show about a straight guy who's best friend is gay? :lol: You may be right. I think it's a good show and though I don't watch it every week, I like the characters especially the hot sister and the crazy grandma. :lol:

I was actually one of them. :lol: I didn't like Amy at first but they started turning her into a human being and not just some female Sheldon like she was originally and now she's probably my favorite female character. I always crack up whenever she compliments Penny. :lol: Howard's probably the most normal character on the show now but he still has some quirks like his mom and his belt buckle collection. :lol:

Yea it's about two friends, one's straight and the other's gay. Why can't they make it 2 women? :lol:

Mike's mom is a hoot. She should be nominated foe an emmy. Everytime she's on tv she cracks me up. I can understand why some didn't like expanding the cast for TBBT. The cast was pretty perfect. I think the show is in a grove right now. :lol: I can't wait for the new season. :cool:

I bought USA Today a couple of times. I remember it had much more tv info in there than the local newspapers. :lol:
That's why I used to like them. I used to make scrapbooks of articles from it and other papers back in the 80's. I still have a few of those. I quit doing it in the 90's when the quality of tv went down. :lol: That's why I argue with the younger set about the demos being important. It was never the most important rating that it is today. Ratings from back then didn't even list the demo in the papers. I think the demo has killed tv because it seems like all they care about is all that reality crap. :lol:

:lol: I heard they're working on a deal to bring them back. It wouldn't bother me at all if they got rid of all those channels and that's about half of the channels I get up here. :lol:
I was a little put off by it at first but now I don't care. The best of their channels is TV Land and that isn't saying much. I have about 24 episodes of Hot in Cleveland on my DVR that I haven't watched so I'm set through next season. :lol:
