Which sitcoms stayed good throughout its run.

For Example:
WKRP In Cincinatti
Taxi
Mary Tyler Moore
Cheers

The Bob Newhart Show and the Golden Girls were pretty good even in their final seasons, although you could tell it was about time they pulled the plug after their season finales.

Barney Miller is definitely one that never jumped the shark.

You have a new avatar, replaced Betty and Wilma with Blondie and Dagwood. I have all 28 Blondie movies. There are two Blondie sitcoms, 1957 version and 1968 version, but I haven't seen either of those.

I prefer the Betty and Wilma avatar, but it's your choice to have any avatar you want, the Blondie and Dagwood one looks good too.

Leave It To Beaver is one show I'd say never jumped. It was very consistent in quality from start to finish. There is a very slight drop in quality in the 6th and final season, but it's basically nothing more than a sign that the series was coming to an end. It's still a strong season.

Yeah Betty and Wilma were my summer avatar because they were on the beach.:) So come September, I thought I'd change it. I always loved the Blondie and Dagwood comics and the old movies too! :)


I like to change up my avatar every so often! :)

I have the 28 Blondie movies too. I've seen some of the eps of the 50s series, it's okay Arthur Lake returned as Dagwood, but Pamela Britton played Blondie, Arthur Lake and Penny Singleton had such great chemistry together, but that was lacking between Arthur and Pamela.

Can't agree with Welcome Back, Kotter, that show jumped the shark and the entire ocean after John Travolta left and the Sweathogs were working for the school.

Yea I thought maybe you changed the avatar because it's September now and summer is almost done.

Gilligan's Island
I Love Lucy
Taxi
WKRP
The King Of Queens
Corner Gas
Green Acres

As much as I absolutely love "Green Acres", I think it DID jump the shark in the final season. It seemed to become more obviously set in the 60s and political issues started to slip their way in.

I was going by memory on that one, I haven't seen the last couple of season in a long time.

COOL!! ;)


Flipper never "jumped the shark"! He's no dummy! :D Get it? A dolphin jumping over a sharp wouldn't be such a good idea , cause sharks are so violent! :eek: :D

That's good if you have the Blondie movies also. Mine are the Bridgestone VHS releases that came out in 1999.

There's a hilarious scene early on in Blondie Plays Cupid. It's July 4th, and the scene culminates with the postman tossing a lit firecracker thru a window in the Bumsteads house. It lands in the kitchen, and scares the crap out of Blondie and Dagwood when it goes off. LOL it is so funny. :lol:

But overall, I tend to prefer the later entries in the series with Mr. Radcliffe instead of Mr. Dithers. I think those are funnier.

Nostalgia Merchant has a set of DVD's with most of the episodes from the 1957 TV show. I might order it sometime. I don't know of any source for the 1968 version. Those may never be seen again, but you never know, perhaps one day they'll be available. I've seen a few clips on you tube, but that's it.

The first 10 I have on DVD, it was a multipack of them. The rest I've gotten on VHS, or downloaded and made my own DVDs.
I like them all. I think the only time I was disappointed was one of the last movies and they had a new actor return as Mr Dithers, seems like they totally ignored Radcliffe and tried to act like Dithers never left.
Probably my favorite movie is Blondie Has Servant Trouble (where they stay at the spooky mansion)
And I agree the firecracker scene was great. Arthur Lake was a very underrated psychical comedian.
Also fun seeing early appearances of actors like Rita Hayworth, and Glenn Ford.

I heard Gabe Kaplan say once that he came up with an idea when the sweathogs were starting to look too old to still be playing teenagers. They could have them graduate and enroll in a community college and Mr. Kotter leaves Buchanan and becomes a teacher at the same community college without knowing the sweathogs are enrolled there. Then he ends up becoming their teacher again. That way they could go on for four seasons and it would be believable, but when he told ABC they decide not to do it and that's one reason he left.
