Except for I'll Fly Away, which my mom watched with me (she and my dad also watched Frank's Place, but I wasn't born yet)I have never watched any of these shows. I read about them in The Complete Directory To Primetime Network and cable TV Shows, 1946-Present. Check it out, and you might see why I thought they should last longer and/or why they were cancelled!

"Ladies Man"???? It was unfunny and boring. I think, its replacement, "Yes, Dear" is MUCH better!

"Freaks and Geeks" was the best new show of last year. It should have been in its second season, just starting a long run on television!

factsoflife · 08-01-2001, 02:03 PM

actually, you know i just started watching yes, dear and it really is very funny! that mike o'malley is just a riot as jimmy!

Just the ten of us- ABC- 1987-1989, great show, much bettr than the show it spun-off from, GROWING PAINS.

Living Dolls- CBS or ABC- 198?- Halle Berry, Leah Remini as MODELS!

Fired Up- NBC- Sharon Lawrence and Leah Remini, Sharon Lawrence as a high profile exceutiv that losses her job and with the help of her long suffering assistant starts up a new business. it aired in like 1996 or 1997.

Oh, Baby- LIFETIME show from 1999 about a single women that uses artifical incemanation to have a baby! the best friends was played by a brillant actress, i just can't remember her name? the red head?

Jo- Sexy Lingere?

Nurses (1991-1994)- I thought it was far funnier than Empty Nest and The Golden Girls, which it spun off from.

Taxi (1978-1983)- I think it could have lasted another season.

Rockapella722 · 04-29-2002, 10:28 PM

OMG, Madness, your avatar pic is just a little bit scary...

Brother's Keeper... I kinda remember that. What was that about again?

I think Madigen Men was pretty darn funny....

IheartMoonlighting · 04-30-2002, 02:34 AM

I fly away was really a good show. but what can you do when a show gets zero ratings.

and i did like savannah too.

IheartMoonlighting · 04-30-2002, 02:37 AM

Did you know that the usa network shows Fired Up on weekends. check the tv guide. I believe it's on Sat or Sunday at 6 am . I remember watching this show a long time ago. I'm probably going to check it out again.
