T.V. shows of the past.

Brineshrimp · Post by **Brineshrimp** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 7:52 am

So, I was sitting here thinking to myself:

"Self?"

"Yes, George."

"What show from my past would I really like to see again?"

"Good question."

After some thought, I decided upon V. Marc Singer's best role since, well...uh, The Beastmaster. (We'll try and forget Beastermaster 2 and instead pretend it was a Kari Wuher Playboy shoot gone horribly, horribly wrong.)

What about you guys?

I wouldn't mind watching the old Incredible Hulk-series again. "Don't make me angry, mr McGee. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Just waiting for Bill Bixby's eyes to go all funny and knowing Hulk is gonna open a can of whoop-ass on the bad guys would make it worth it. That and the end of episode scene where Banner is walking alongside the highway, trying to hitch a ride, while that melancholy piano-music is playing.

Call me a teeny-bopper, but I still love the original Power Ranger Series, when the Green Ranger was still the Green Ranger or had just barely become the White Ranger. Those guys fucking owned.

You mean the original series? The one where the black ranger was, well, uh, black? Yellow ranger was asian? The green ranger was a martian? Okay, maybe not the last one. What would've completed the theme would've been an American Indian as the red ranger.

Grrr... They re-ran Atragon's post, but none of our shows.

I, too, have to jump on the MacGyver bandwagon, along with Go-Bots (that's right, I went there) and Happily Ever After (which I'm not sure if I've got the title right--it was some shitty little sitcom on ABC in the early 80's that worked on the idea that Snow White, Prince Charming, and the Wicked Stepmother all fell under a curse that made the hibernate until, well, the early 1980's). Oh, and new Punky Brewster's, now that she's super-hot.

Kinda surprised no one pulled for Small Wonder yet.

That show was the catalyst for my (elementary school) best friend's more obvious mental issues. I'm not sure if he's ever had a real girlfriend.

I saw the actress about ten years ago singing on the 700 Club though. For those that haven't seen it, it's an evangelical Christian show headed up by Pat Robertson.

Anguirel · Post by **Anguirel** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 1:21 pm

Ok, I can see, like, MacGuyver (which I'm watchign now, you should know - Spike TV is airing it afternoons daily), Airwolf (no Knight Rider to go with it, though?), Night Court and a few of the others, but seriously, what the fuck? You guys all suck. Nowhere have you mentioned the ultimate in awesomeness:

The Muppet Show.

Fucking A. The Storyteller (short-lived Jim Henson show with some very cool stories) would also be cool. I'll second The Critic, and add in The Tick. There's probably others, but I don't want to detract from the main point here... which is:

The Muppet Show.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 3:11 pm

Naturally I would also like to see the return of Futurama.

Salvation122 · Post by **Salvation122** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 3:39 pm

Futurama would be awesome.
Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock, definetly.
Maybe ST:TNG, with the writers from seasons six and seven.
Homicide: Life on the Street. SVU is okay, but it's just not enough Munch.
Seaquest, before they made it completely retarded.
I remember liking Earth 2, but I don't remember if it was actually any good.
I remember liking Space: AaB, too, but I also remember it being rather deeply flawed.

...hmm. I know there are others, I just can't think of them at the moment.

lorg · Post by **lorg** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 3:45 pm

Fraggle Rock .. hell yeah! Forgot about that one.

While I like Star Trek as much as the next alien I don't want to see the return of TNG, I rather they just continue to make Enterprise. But the odds of that are well not that good with the cancellation and all. All I can say about Enterprise is that I think it has just become better and better and well most Star Trek shows are not that good in their first couple of seasons and then it finds its place and have 3-4 more seasons before they end, this one will end just when it is finally starting to be good. SUCKS!!

Never really got to see much of Space AaB here, don't have any real fond feelings about it at all. I'd rather see the return of V or well even more so I would like so see a new season of Red Dwarf.

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 3:49 pm

Earth 2, imo, carries the same caveat as Seaquest - before they made it retarded. Actually, it hadn't quite reached "retarded" yet, but it was getting kinda silly toward the end there. Which was really too bad, because E2 was an awesome show.

And absolutely they should bring back Homicide: Life on the Street. How NYPD Blue managed a bajillion seasons while forcing viewers to look at Dennis Franz's ass, while Homicide got ignored for practically their entire run is beyond me.

Salvation122 · Post by **Salvation122** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 5:24 pm

They just released the big fuckin' box set of Homicide. Six seasons, $150, which really isn't a bad deal. I imagine it'll drop in a year, at which point it'd be a good Christmas present.

Time-travelling alien space Nazis, and you think it's getting better?

Really, what they need to do is put Rick Berman in one of those black coffins and shoot the jerk into the sun. The guy just doesn't know how to do a proper Trek; the best he got was the Domion War, which was admittedly pretty good. Voyager was a soap opera that happened to be in space, and Enterprise has episodes (plural!) where a Vulcan turns into a nympho and tries to rape the crew.

I'd rather see the return of V or well even more so I would like so see a new season of Red Dwarf.

One of these days I'll get around to seeing this.

So far all Star Trek series have had a Nazi or Nazi-like episode, it's a classic. In this case (enterprise) they travelled back and allied themselves (or tricked if you will) the Nazis. Compared to the other series Nazi episodes I thought this one was quite good.

But if it is some kind of consolation they say that story arc with the "temporal cold war" is over now, even thou they still have not revealed who "future guy" was.

Really, what they need to do is put Rick Berman in one of those black coffins and shoot the jerk into the sun. The guy just doesn't know how to do a proper Trek; the best he got was the Domion War, which was admittedly pretty good. Voyager was a soap opera that happened to be in space, and Enterprise has episodes (plural!) where a Vulcan turns into a nympho and tries to rape the crew.

I agree that Berman should be let go, he has had his shot at Trek and as far as most fans are concerend he should be shot into the sun. I don't much care for the T'Pol sex episodes either, but this is something that stared quite some time ago. Get som "babe" cause nerd boys like to look at boobies, it was Troy in TNG, Dax in DS9, Seven in Voyager and now it is T'Pol in Enterprise. Yes it is mindnumbingly stupid but it is just one part of the show. Personally I think it has become a lot better over the passing seasons. Season one was kind of weak, it had a few good episodes (including the one that is still the funniest one), season two was somewhat bland, in season three it slowly started improving and now (in season four) I think it was become quite good.

I'd rather see the return of V or well even more so I would like so see a new season of Red Dwarf.

Sonic the Hedgehog (the darker CBS version, not the shitty wacky FOX version.)
X-Men
Fucking Batman. The animated series from circa the Mask of The Phantasm run.

Fuck yes. I never really like the X-Men cartoon, for whatever reason, but those other two are gold.

I think that the SatAM Sonic has actually been picked back up in Britain. Not sure, though.

Random piece of trivia, apparently the only reason they had bands in the show was that way it was classed as a variety show so they got an extra fifty pounds or so per episode to help make it. And seconded on the nomination.

Possibly because you can do almost anything without permanent change to the storyline. Or it could be because they like pointlessly convoluted storylines.
