This question is that what shows are so rare that they are never seen. These are never on the internet or on tv although they are probably on DVD.

I will give you some examples as this covers sports, dramas, soap operas, one-hit wonders, comedies etc.


Saturday Night Live-Especially the early seasons. I actually believe they are all on hulu but you never see them on tv. They actually ran the first episode in 2008, I think in the middle of the night where they used to show old Saturday Night Live shows.

NFL-Lets face it. The NFL does a terrible job showcasing there history. The NFL Network never shows classic games or classic nfl yearbooks or anything. Thats really a shame.

Ferris Bueller-This show that started Jennifer Aniston was only seen once in recent years by TV Land when Friends was going off the air. A true one hit wonder, if that.

The Real World-MTV did show the first Real World from NY last night and is showing the Las Vegas season now but I havent seen the real early seasons ever. I guess they couldnt find time to show it with Snooki and J-Woww and 16 and Pregnant around.

Joanie and Chachai-A real lost treasure. I dont it has ever aired on tv. I actually saw a couple of episodes on youtube but thats it.

The New Leave it to Beaver-See Joanie and Chachai.


So do you guys have any rare finds that are never on the air or you'd want to see on the air?

I would like to see "George & Leo" with Bob Newhart and Judd Hirsch. I know they only had one season, but I really liked the show.

Another show that only had one season was DAG with David Allen Grier and Delta Burke.

I also liked "On Our Own" with the Smollett siblings.

I think we need more classic TV channels!!:)

Here's my list...

Disneyland/Wonderful World of Color
Gimme a Break
Valerie/The Hogan Family
Hangin' with Mr. Cooper
Perfect Strangers
Thunder Alley
Kirk
Norm
Titus

Some of these shows are on DVD, but some of these shows are shelved and won't see the light of day.

Joanie Loves Chachi didn't have enough episodes to be seen in syndication alone. I think it did air as a special promotion night on Nick@Nite or TV Land

It aired in Canada for awhile it just stopped within the last year or so.

Hogans Family and Chico and the Man would be nice to see on again.
