View Full Version : What shows(s) keep you, or kept you on the edge of your seat? liane60 05-05-2016, 11:34 AM All My Children Gunsmoke tlc38tlc38 05-05-2016, 12:26 PM Desperate Housewives In the Heat of the Night Days of our Lives Wheel of Fortune: I'm on the edge of my seat every weeknight trying to solve the puzzles before the contestants do! bmasters9 05-06-2016, 09:10 AM $ale of the Century w/the late Jim Perry, especially in the time of the shopping, and also with the speed round, because a lot could happen in 60 seconds! Svenfan1234 05-06-2016, 09:12 AM Some of Svengoolie's movies keep me on the edge! dakert 05-06-2016, 10:33 PM The first thing that came to mind was The Edge Of Night Tubehead 05-07-2016, 12:27 AM mine are: current Arrow gotham the flash ledges of tomorrow super girl Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D Quantico Hawaii Five-0 The Mentalist person of interest NCIS: New Orleans NCIS: Los Angeles CSI: Miami reality shows: America's Got Talent storage wars pawn stars shark tank Container Wars Beverly Hills Pawn cartoons: teeange mutnat ninja turtles 1980;s he-man masters of the universe 1980's swat kats doug muppet babies super mario brothers ben 10 ben 10 alien force not really cartoons mighty morphing power rangers power rangers samurai power rangers super samurai power rangers megaforce power rangers super megaforce power rangers dino charge power rangers super dino charge classic numbers wonder women batman with adam west The Incredible Hulk cannon the rockford files magnum pi the A-Team seven days flash forward quantum leap early edition kung fu Kung Fu: The Legend Continues opus 05-07-2016, 01:19 AM Not literally, of course, but 24. bmasters9 05-07-2016, 08:36 AM Also, the various Pyramid shows w/the late Dick Clark, especially for the Winner's Circle, where in 60 seconds, one could win $10K, $20K, $25K, $50K, or $100K (and there was plenty of suspense in each attempt, especially with the "tick of doom," as I refer to it). Svenfan1234 05-07-2016, 02:18 PM Not literally, of course, but 24. You know what's funnier than 24? opus 05-07-2016, 03:29 PM You know what's funnier than 24? Everything? I don't get the question. 24 wasn't a comedy. Svenfan1234 05-07-2016, 03:39 PM Everything? I don't get the question. 24 wasn't a comedy. Apparently you've never seen SpongeBob? opus 05-07-2016, 04:05 PM Apparently you've never seen SpongeBob? Nope. They do a parody? Svenfan1234 05-07-2016, 04:18 PM ^Nope. It was an episode where they went to school and they go "You know what's funnier than 24? 25." It wasn't a parody. Just makes me think of that. treky 05-08-2016, 01:17 AM THE FUGITIVE. No matter how many times I see the episode that always happens. Same with STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. factsoflife 05-08-2016, 02:15 AM The Good Wife Melrose Place Beverly Hills, 90210 Madam Secretary Desperate Housewives Brothers & Sisters Felicity Dawson's Creek One Tree Hill Knot's Landing All My Children One Life To Live General Hospital Port Charles The Newsroom The West Wing Party of Five The O.C. Tubehead 05-10-2016, 10:40 PM i like to add Madam Secretary i also just watched containment it was good it kind of remind me of jericho it comes on tuesdays at 9:00 pm on cw after the flash i think its just limited series!! lakesgirl 05-11-2016, 10:05 AM To this day, the one episode that I remember keeping me totally glued to my seat was ER's Love's Labor Lost (S1, Episode 19). This is the episode where Dr. Greene tries to help a woman give birth and things go terribly wrong. I still remember being totally shaken by this episode. Great televison! danderson400 05-23-2016, 09:59 PM China Beach like when Cherry the Red Cross worker died when she was in a all night attack during the tet offensive or in the episode Fever when McMurphy was sad over how lost she felt. Dana Delany sometimes brought out the waterworks sometimes in episodes like that.:( also the episode where Hang and Holly perform the song "Blowin in the Wind" and next thing you know they have Hang taken away because they thought she was part of the Viet Cong group:confused: . I watched Little House on the Prairie too and Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert could also bring out the waterworks too a lot:( i'd add those game shows too like SOTC, WOF and TPIR. sometimes someone would win big time, other times they'd lose! treky 05-24-2016, 01:50 AM THE FUGITIVE-even though I've seen just about every episode there is, I still get "on the edge of my seat" watching it. Crusinforabrusin 06-08-2016, 09:24 PM You know what's funnier than 24? 25 😂 danderson400 02-17-2018, 03:47 AM Also, the various Pyramid shows w/the late Dick Clark, especially for the Winner's Circle, where in 60 seconds, one could win $10K, $20K, $25K, $50K, or $100K (and there was plenty of suspense in each attempt, especially with the "tick of doom," as I refer to it). And the one thing i liked about the 100k version w/the late Dick Clark, was that when $100,000 was on the line he'd ask the audience to be quiet. That was very tense, because he always said it very strongly. principehomura 02-17-2018, 07:15 AM The Wire Twin Peaks The X-Files Buffy Justified Friday Night Lights Miami Vice Battlestar Galactica Lost bmasters9 02-17-2018, 07:37 AM And the one thing i liked about the 100k version w/the late Dick Clark, was that when $100,000 was on the line he'd ask the audience to be quiet. That was very tense, because he always said it very strongly. Indeed! He meant business in that tournament-- a lot was on the line! Becca3557 02-17-2018, 09:37 PM I can think of one straight off: Rich Man, Poor Man with Peter Strauss. Loved that! Even though I know it was categorized as a “mini-series”. jimpickens 02-19-2018, 01:11 AM Sons Of Anarchy Justified Pro wrestling especially New Japan Pro Wrestling danderson400 07-06-2018, 10:03 PM Indeed! He meant business in that tournament-- a lot was on the line! Have to agree. Dick Clark is one of the best hosts, i believe in television history. Bill Cullen said best in 1980- "I remember when you moved from the shows you had done prior to that to a pure game show- and i rememberer your beginning, i remember your improvement though the years and i remember you now- you have become one of the finest general not only game show but general television hosts of all time." That from a man who also would be considered one of the best hosts of all time too. Johnny Carson and Bob Barker would be on that list too. danderson400 07-27-2019, 12:39 AM Indeed! He meant business in that tournament-- a lot was on the line! And was likely a good reason why he won Daytime Emmys for his work on the show, in 1985 and 1986. The other host that deserved Emmy wins too was Bob Barker for his Price is Right work.

That was very tense, because he always said it very strongly. While I liked Dick Clark I've always believed game shows should be fun and relaxed and I think he took things a bit too seriously. So I guess there were times I didn't like him. Just my opinion. Ed. Schmoopie 07-29-2019, 02:37 AM Monk did that for me several times as did Joan of Arcadia and NYPD Blue AB 07-29-2019, 04:12 PM The first season of The Walking Dead OH Nuts! 07-29-2019, 11:19 PM The Twilight Zone Alfred Hitchcock Presents Tubehead 07-31-2019, 07:59 PM Current shows: Arrow the flash dc ledgens of tomorrow Marvels Agents of shield court room tv shows impractical jokers the carbonaro effect shark tank PAWN STARS Storage wars Joe kenda homicide hunter whose line is it any ways? almost newer shows but CANCELED SHOWS THAT are not here Alasia forever Kalye xy day break now & aging mutant x moon light jericho Early edition Marital law spin off of early edition quantum leap kung fu legend countie renegade white collar burn noticed person of interest classic shows Macgyver mannix cannon sun set strip 44 route 66 planet of the apes tv series time tunnel parry mason the rockford files the A-team loaferman 07-31-2019, 08:39 PM Revenge The Edge of Night Dark Shadows loaferman 07-31-2019, 08:43 PM Have to agree.

That from a man who also would be considered one of the best hosts of all time too. Johnny Carson and Bob Barker would be on that list too. Whenever Bill Cullen was a celebrity guest on a game show the contestant he was playing for usually won big. Bill was one of the best game show players ever. danderson400 03-13-2023, 11:24 AM Also, the various Pyramid shows w/the late Dick Clark, especially for the Winner's Circle, where in 60 seconds, one could win $10K, $20K, $25K, $50K, or $100K (and there was plenty of suspense in each attempt, especially with the "tick of doom," as I refer to it). I would add American Gladiators w/Mike Adamle, especially during the 3rd season, where the Eliminator decided the match. Making that change made the earlier events more important, because that decided how much of a head start the leader had. |
