What gives, on TV you see MTM and Norman Lier Sitcoms all the time! What about a little Love Boat,Fantasy Island? ME-TV, Antenna TV.......Arron Spelling, PLEASE!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

I agree, I'd love to see those too.

Me-TV does show The Guns of Will Sonnett, which was a series Spelling created (1967-1969 on ABC).

The SAME THING happened to Nick at Nite and TV Land as well BEFORE they decended into the abyss they're currently in. :angryfire I guess Sitcoms make more money than Dramas, so they end up dominating the "Classic" Channels. Before long, it's the same ol same ol. :( Oh well, I found a solution to that as well, DVDs! :D :lol:

I agree! Aaron Spelling series are overlooked! I grew up on Aaron's shows. He was a genius.

A genius at knowing how stupid the public is and how they'll watch really stupid shows. Family was the only show he produced that wasn't moronic.

I'll add the following:

The Rookies
S.W.A.T
Starsky and Hutch
Charlie's Angels
The Mod Squad

Dynasty was alright too.

Whilst his shows didn't win any awards for depth or scriptwriting, they were a form of escapism and I do like to pop my Love Boat dvds on once in a while to take me back to the late 70s.

That is really a matter of taste. Personally, I grew up with the Aaron Spelling shows and yes, they may not have been the type of shows with a social message, but they clearly were well constructed, escapist entertainment that did their job by entertaining generations of people. They were very popular too.

Was The Mod Squad any good? I have never seen it but always wanted to.

The Love Boat, Fantasy Island and Hotel are three of my favorite shows. They were great escapist fare, and I would love to see more dvd's of Love Boat released...:wave:

My favorite Aaron Spelling shows are: Melrose Place, Beverly Hills 90210 and Savannah.

I never saw an Aaron Spelling show that I didn't like. Now some of his shows did get bad the longer they ran. But the guy was a TV Pioneer and his shows deserve to be seen.

didn't he made seven heaven? it was good show unitl the kids got older then he made it into sope opra

I liked Beverly Hills 90210 back in the day. The shows he did with Darren Dtarr were the best. I think Darren doesn't get enough credit, he created Sex & The City as well.

My favorite Aaron Spelling shows are 7th Heaven and Charlie's Angels.

I must disagree. He gave us quite a few excellent shows.

I only wish there were shows like that now instead of the trashy new shows.
