Hi, I am new to SitcomsOnline - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

IllinoisTVFan · 06-12-2011, 04:05 PM

First off, let me apologize if this is the wrong place to post this because I searched to see if there was a proper place to post this.

Some of you may already "know" me from other tv forums. I was Newwaver on the TVLand boards until I got banned from Link because I called one of the shows trash. My login name was restored but I never went back. That's a lost cause. I also post on the local Chicago site FuzzyMemories as La Princess and I like that one a lot (lots of great people there).

I have lurked here for years, and ironically found this site while looking for DVD reviews. Back in 2006 the Tower Records near my job was going out of business and I would go everyday during my lunch hour. I would often buy TV DVDs and was wondering what other DVDs were out there. I don't have as many DVDs as other people but have a long list of DVDs I plan to eventually buy. I believe I own something like 13 shows on DVD (I have a list somewhere).

Anyway, I am a long time truly classic tv fan who is 40 but loves the older shows. I don't really watch a lot of tv currently because so many to me are just plain garbage. I find myself watching a lot of MeTV and Antenna TV. I despise much of what passes as tv today, notably most reality shows.

Welcome to SitcomsOnline. Nice to have you on board.

IllinoisTVFan · 06-12-2011, 05:55 PM

Thank you for the welcome. I must say I have been very impressed by the tv shows listed. I found many I didn't even know existed!

Thank you Robyrob, Janice, Stuck in the 70's and Reverend Jim. That's a very nice graphic Reverend Jim and I figured you were a Taxi fan. That was a great show. The show on the TvLand forums I called trashy I believe was either The Cougar or She's Got The Look. While not a fan of every classic show, I wouldn't insult older shows. Stuck, you must be aGunsmoke fan. That's a great show and my mom watches it all the time. She was sad to hear of James Arness' passing.
