what shows do you have that you plan to stop after a certain season and pretend the rest didn't happen?

Dean Winchester · 02-07-2005, 03:49 PM

I have the first season of Happy Days and will definately get seasons 2 and 3 (and maybe 4) but I am surewill not buy the later seasons, once Potsie sings "Pumps Your Blood", I'm out.

I also don't know if I'd bother with the last 2 seasons of Diff'rent Strokes.

The only series I will definitely stop purchasesing is The Andy Griffith Show after Season 5.

I wasn't positive about buying Seasons 7 and 8 of The Cosby Show, but I will once they are released.

I plan on buying all of Happy Days and Diff'rent Strokes.
HD because the seasons without Richie were comfort food enough to be worth a purchase.
And DS because I loved it up until Sam came, and this will be the only way to see every episode after he joins the series.

There are two Mystery Science Theater 3000 sets I won't buy (Volumes 4 and 5) because I don't like the episodes contained in those collections. Those were not very goo episodes. I plan on getting a few individual episodes, The Essentials collection, and Volumes 2, 3, 6, and 7. I have the first Volume.

Happy Days did have a few okay episodes after Howard left, but IMO, the quality of the show was never the same once Scott Baio joined (ironically timed around the same point Fonzie "jumped the shark").

Diff'rent Strokes, I agree it's the only way to see those episodes, but from the latter episodes I caught on N@N/TV Land, I think those last 2 seasons are best left forgotten, lol

Season 1 of The Brady Bunch because there is too much slapstick in Season 1.

Season 6 of The Brady Bunch to avoid Cousin Oliver.

I think everyone will avoid season 6, seeing as how there were just five seasons.

For me, of shows I already have, I know I won't complete
All In The Family
Charlie's Angels
Dallas
Everwood
Roswell
Seinfeld
Starsky & Hutch

unless I get them all for free.

Others that I may not complete, but I'm not certain
Golden Girls
Mary Tyler Moore Show

spunkygirl · 02-07-2005, 11:00 PM

Well I like to have complete shows, but with Dallas, I might not buy the last 4 seasons but my collection will feel incomplete without those though.

Joker85 · 02-07-2005, 11:26 PM

I'm not sure I'll bother getting Married...With Children Seasons 6-11. At that point it just got too stupid at times. I dunno, I may end up buying them all.

well, I am not a huge Dallas fan, but from the logic standpoint of it, ending it after the 1986-1987 season would be smart since that was the end of Victoria Principal on the show

douglasjc · 02-10-2005, 11:39 PM

I will probably stop buying

Married with Children at Season 6: 1992-1993: By this season married with children started to show it's age and got really stupid

Cosby Show: Season 5:1990-1992: As much as I love Cosby, the last two seasons were the pits. Olivia made the show the jump the shark

Roseanne: Season 6:1993-1994: After this season Roseanne became reallt stupid. DO NOT EVEN TALK TO ME ABOUT THE LAST SEASON

GOLDEN GIRLS: STILL UNDECICDED ABOUT BUYING THE LAST SEASON 1991-1992. That SEASON THE SHOW GOT SILLY AND STUPID EXECPT I DID LOVE THE ENDING OF THE GG.

snl75 · 02-10-2005, 11:47 PM

i have seasons 1 thru 6 of friends on dvd but im not sure if im going to buy the rest of the eps.

ALF. The episodes were cut, at poor visual quality, and the show wasn't as much of a childhood nostalgia trip as I thought it'd be.

vhshunter · 02-11-2005, 01:03 AM

I will stop after season 4
