Older TV shows

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2003-05-09 03:55am

Anyone have any favorite older TV shows that were cancelled too early or that are simply not shown anymore?

I really like the old "Sifl and Olly" show that used to be on MTV. If you can remember, they were two sock puppets that had a sort of variety show.

I was a big fan of Knight Rider and the A-Team when I was a kid...

Millenium. First season was great. Second, and only full, season was orgasmically fantastic. However, the final half season was a MAJOR letdown. Maybe it died when it should have.

Game On and Spaced

"I see you've worked in a comic shop before?"
"Yep"
"And why did you leave that job?"
"Difference of opinion."
"The Phantom Menace?"
"Yep."

I love, I mean LOVE, the old "Quantum Leap" series. I don't get the cable channel that shows it...

Used to be MacGyver until I found it on TVLand.

Define older...

"I'm not a number I'm a free man"
"Exterminate!, Exterminate!, Exterminate!"

or even older
like the fact I am a fan of the longest running prime time drama
and a fan of the most occult themed soap.

Oh oh oh... Ummm... "Dark Shadows?"

Battlestar Galactica. Why has nobody mentioned it yet? (Although both sides could have used a lot more insight...)

Other than that, I'd agree about Knight Rider...

*bzzt*

The first one is a line from the TV show The Prisoner, which Iron Maiden did a song on over ten years later, in the mid-80s.

Second one would be Dr. Who.

Although Dark Shadows was the Last one I mention

It was: Prisoner, Dr. Who, Gunsmoke & Dark Shadows

Knight Rider: 5pm on SciFi Channel here in the States. The A-Team is on TNN sometimes but I don't know when.

I've seen a few eps of and consequently am quite a fan of The Honeymooners.

How's that for old?

I listen to Radio Plays when I was growing up (thank goodness for College students and local public radio stations....)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I know what evil lurks in the hears of men....

Ever hear the old Superman radio dramas? Those ruled!

BTW, does anyone know where we can download those in their entirety?

I actually cried when KITT got dumped in that acid pit...

I remember that. I remember the rehab too, with the white KITT.

That's where KITT'd panel light changed from solid red to 3 bars right?

I also remember the fight with Goliath and Michael Knight's evil twin.

woo hoo, they've been showing the original Charlie's Angels on a local channel here lately, lotsa fun! Cheesy 70's music, all the monster cars and the guaranteed car chase through the hills of L.A., the mere appearance of even the tiniest of guns stops everyone in their tracks (unless it's a car chase where only trunks and rear windows get shot), and Cheryl Tiegs in a bikini

The other day it was one of those cross-over episodes, a two-parter, where the Angels solved a case on The Love Boat. Totally surreal, Isaac serving mai-tais to the Angels.

When i first moved out of my parents house and in with friends we used to entertain ourselves by watching All In The Family (Archie Bunker) and smoking the wacky-tobaccy. damn that show was funny.....or maybe we were just really stoned....i dunno.
