There are so many great shows out there. They don't make them like they used to. All in the Family, M*A*S*H, Seinfeld, Barney Miller and The Jeffersons, just to name a few.
But there are the shows that never made it. Archie Bunker's Place only lasted four seasons. Stark Raving Mad only lasted 18 episodes. The Weber Show lasted only 15 episodes. And The Michael Richards Show only lasted eight episodes. What other great shows only lasted a short life?

Well, I could say Life with Lucy, but that show wasn't really all that great.

What about Bobby Sherman's early '70's sitcom, "Getting Together"? I never saw that show because I was just three years old when it aired, and no reruns have been shown! LOL! I understand it was a spinoff of "The Partridge Family." Maybe TVLand or Nick At Nite Will air reruns of "Getting Together" someday. That would be neat!

--Gary Sandy was in the '77 sitcom All That Glitters. He played the guy who had the "best buns"
--Co-Ed Fever was axed after 1 episode
--A New Kind Of Family w/Eileen Brennan, et al.

I saw part of an episode and it was okay.that show is long forgotten. Tucker is on NICKELODEON in the United Kingdom.

Police Squad! (In Color)...Starring Leslie Neilsen....also starring Alan North...and Rex Hamilton as "Abraham Lincoln"....with Special Guest Star Florence Henderson (who immediately dies in a hail of bullets).
