Pinky and the Brain
Daria
MTV's Celeberity Deathmatch!
Clone High
Invader Zim

Futurama*
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Adventures of Pete and Pete
The PJ's
Sealab 2021/ATHF

The shows I miss.
Animaniacs
Daria
Celeberity Deathmatch
Probe (starring Parker Stevenson)
Spy Games
Gobal Frequency
She Spies
Battle Fever J (infact all of the original Japanese Sentai Shows)
Underdog
Rocky and Bullwinkle
Tucker's Witch
Undercover
Something Is Out There

Greg the Bunny.

My three favorite shows as a kid were all on Nickeloden:

The Tomorrow People(the original version, though I rather liked the new one too)
You Can't Do That On Television
and
The Third Eye.

Best shows ever. *nod*

Tales of the Gun (History Channel, though they show it on random days at 3AM sometimes)
Histories Lost and Found
GOOD episodes of Modern Marvels (NUTS. How are NUTS a modern marvel?)
The Angry Beavers
Invader Zim
All those 60's/70's cartoons, with the exception of the Scooby Doo spin offs (Speed Buggy, Jabberjaw, those made me want to commit violent acts against the TV)
Battlebots
Celebrity Deathmatch

Futurama*
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Adventures of Pete and Pete
The PJ's
Sealab 2021/ATHF

*I know, it's coming back in '07

Futurama's coming back in '08, actually. Sealab 2021 ended too fast, though it pretty much turned to crap about one and a half seasons after Harry Goz (Captain Murphy) died.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is still very much around. They're in the process of making a full-length film and the next season (the past season was just a few episodes to move it along).

Greg the Bunny.

God I hated that show, I'm glad it died a quick death.

I wasn't sure if it was '07 or '08; it's good either way as long as it's coming back. There's nothing like watching the old Sealab seasons and remembering how great the show was in the Harry Goz days...it just wasn't the same after that. In fact, it was pretty much like the X-Files after Mulder left.

That's cool; I haven't seen much Adult Swim since I bought the Futurama DVDs, but that's great news. Finally, something to fill that 11:00-1 time slot on weekdays...

I mourn the death of your sense of humour.

My condolences.

There's too many to list really, but one that deserves mention is
Space: above and beyond.

Ooh, and VR5

The Tomorrow People(the original version, though I rather liked the new one too)
You Can't Do That On Television
and

Oh man, I remember those...

including...
Turkey Television
Mysterious Cities of Gold
Roundhouse
Fame


I would add Dangermouse to that, but I got the DVD's. :D

You can't do that on Television

Greatest American Hero

Everwood (yeah, the "season finale" became the "series finale" thanks CW for deciding to bring back crappy 7th Heaven and cancel an actual good show:headbang: )

that's my very short list.

Dangermouse
Count Duckula
Pingu (I know it's still on but they changed the theme tune and it's just not the same anymore :()

That's cool; I haven't seen much Adult Swim since I bought the Futurama DVDs, but that's great news. Finally, something to fill that 11:00-1 time slot on weekdays...

1: Yeah, it was kind of sad (though the episode where Sealab went to war was the best shit EVER). And the X-Files wasn't total shit after Mulder left, and what's-his-name was good and all, but his part was just so formulaic. And the writing really plummeted...

2: Yeah, it'll be nice to have fresh ATHF back. Hopefully there will be more Carl/Meatwad episodes. :p


And The Adventures of Pete & Pete is seriously one of the best shows ever made. The writing was great, the actors were flawless for their roles, and the production was excellent. It's a classic.

why? I like BtVS too... I just don't miss it since I'm picking up the DVD's...

heck, I'm also collecting Wonder Woman (with Linda Carter... *wolf whistle*) :D

I miss the days when NSG (and the world) wasn't filled with such reminiscing

oh and I miss the whole world pre-2000 it was so much fun back then I danced my ass off on new years eve and get my first kiss that night oh and remember the music *cries*

Did you use punctuation back then, too? :p

Hmm ... can't decide if you people are all that young or I'm just that old. I know, I'll put it down to you not being Americans for the most part, yeah, that's the ticket ...

I plan on missing The West Wing this autumn when it doesn't come back.

So many shows I like from years ago are on cable in endless repeats, like M*A*S*H and the whole Law & Order franchise.

I miss Moonlighting (Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis (with hair!), but only before their characters slept together) ...

I liked Cybil's sit-com that came after Moonlighting ..

The original Twilight Zone (but Rod Serling died, so what are you gonna do?) ...

Northern Exposure

Can't think of any others, I'm sure I will later.

Mystery Science Theater 3000

Animaniacs: One of the best cartoons ever, Pinky and the brain are actually just a skit from this show arent they? I love the songs, looked up a bunch on youtube the other day

John Doe: The producers built up so much suspense and loose ends...They didnt know how to fulfill them, so it just got lame and they stopped trying.

X-files: The old ones with mulder and scully, when I see reruns on sci-fi Im shkocked at how good that show actually was.

Did you use punctuation back then, too? :p

one day I'll get a punctuation machine a revenge will be mine!?

I miss

Dogtanian
Willy Fogg
Pidgeon Street
King Rollo
Newsround ( its not the same without John Craven)
Anzacs
Jossy's Giants
and Tony Hart

The PJs
Secret Adventures of Alex Mac
Hey Dude!
Salute your Shorts
Dark Angel
The Real Ghostbusters
Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Mostly Cartoons...
Doug (before Disney took over)
Sonic SatAM (not to be confused with Sonic X (http://assets.jolt.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon13.gif), or that other Sonic series from the 90s. The latter was good, albeit corny)
The Megaman cartoon that ran in the 90s (Cannot remember its name!)


VR Troopers - it was like this Power Rangers spinoff, bizzare as hell.

oh, man. I forgot about Doug

it used to be good.

and.... Rocko's modern life, although I don't know if I am remembering it better than it was, because I used to think that Ren and Stimpy was great, but recently I found an old VHS of when I used to record it and it was kinda stupid and pretty gross...........maybe I just grew up :(

I forgot the Adventures of Brisco County Junior and Jack of All Trades. It wasn't that good, but it starred Bruce fuckin' Campbell.

Animaniacs

that was the best!


i miss:

Sliders
Star Trek (VOY, TNG especially)
Tomorrow's World
more documentary programs (there used to be a good one most nights of the week bewtween QED, Horizon, Panorama, that other one... these days its reality TV shite and mindless claptrap bollocks :()
Black Books
Spaced
Defenders Of The Earth
Dogtanian
Buffy (yeah it used to be cool early on)
Frasier
Never Mind The Buzzcocks
Robot Wars (when it was cool with Phillipa Forrester doing it... mmm)
Pinky And The Brain cos it rocked so much
Thundercats
Inspector Gadget!

Buffy was cool all the way through.

I'm gonna date myself though: The Rockford Files.

Animaniacs: One of the best cartoons ever... I love the songs, looked up a bunch on youtube the other day

Haha, yes!

United States, Canada,
Mexico, Panama,
Haiti, Jamaica, Peru...

Other shows I miss:
The Tick
The Critic
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Captain Planet and the Planeteers
Saved by the Bell
Xena and Hercules
Ren and Stimpy
Beavis and Butt-head
MTV actually playing music videos,
and cause someone's gotta throw it out there, Baywatch

Yes, I watched a lot of TV growing up.

another show I miss...

Police Squad!

I miss Friends...

I miss Friends...
*reloads gun*
Yeah... I keep missing Friends also...
*takes aim...* :D


Another thing I miss...

Music Videos on MTV and VH1

Queer as Folk, the original UK series. I have the episodes on DVD, but, dammit, they should have made more and saved us from the god awful US version.

Pity.

Firefly.

I miss Invader Zim so much! I was completely obsessed with it in middle school, and then it faded as the show went out. I still have maybe ten t-shirts of it, though.:)

I also miss John Doe and Joan of Arcadia.

Animaniacs: One of the best cartoons ever, Pinky and the brain are actually just a skit from this show arent they? I love the songs, looked up a bunch on youtube the other day

got the CD's... *Smug looking smilie*

Married with Children. Nouf said.
Titus. His girlfriend did start to get rather cliche (whiney begger), but they had things like "Psycho Bitch Cam" and "I gave up alcohol at age 17".
Unhappily ever after. Similar feel to Married with Children.
Greg the Bunny had its moments.

Much have already been listed.

I will second the comments for the X-Files.

Nobody liked Farscape?

Babylon 5. Yeah, I know there are plans for direct-to-DVD stories, but still...

Also, Robot Wars and some of the old Discovery Channel/TLC programming.

We all have them, shows that we used to watch and love them, then for one reason or another they get canned. So, list the shows that you used to watch, and miss. Here's my list.

Pinky and the Brain
Daria
MTV's Celeberity Deathmatch!
Clone High
Invader Zim

Daria wasn't nearly as good as Beavis and Butthead, but it was good. Celebrity Death Match was awsome! Invader Zim is still on you know....


But basically, I miss the same shows you do. Johnny Quest was cool when I was little too....

My three favorite shows as a kid were all on Nickeloden:

The Tomorrow People(the original version, though I rather liked the new one too)
You Can't Do That On Television
and
The Third Eye.

Best shows ever. *nod*

You Can't Do That On Televisoin?

Someone other than me remembers that pile of green slime?

*Uh Uh I heard that !!!*

For my own tastes, I find I watch a lot of TV on DVD after it's released. Easier for my schedule and such.

That being said, I was really pissed off how they ended Dark Angel and Angel (the non-dark angel, the one with the vampire... all right, you know what I mean.)

Might I suggest you also add 'Sapphire and Steel' to that list?

I forgot the Adventures of Brisco County Junior and Jack of All Trades. It wasn't that good, but it starred Bruce fuckin' Campbell.
Brisco County Junior was a great show when it started out, but I kind of remember it going downhill towards the end of it's run. Still miss it though.

American Gothic
Firefly
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ok, shut up)
Millenium


One of my favorite cancelled FOX shows, along with Brimstone.

the shows i miss the most

Ren and Stimpy
Aeon Flux (and almost every other show that was MTV Oddities)
Kids in the Hall
Upright Citizens Brigade
Viva Variety
Strangers With Candy
The Tick (animated version of course)
Exit 57

just to name a few

- Ren and Stimpy (The original Nicktoon, back before Bob Camp screwed everyone over)
- Daria
- Undergrads

- Salute Your Shorts
- MST3K
- The Adventures of Pete and Pete
- Tale Spin (heck, all the "old" Disney cartoons...Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers...good stuff :) )

Most of all though, I miss Star Trek: Deep Space Nine....they had all the groundwork laid out, and could have easily produced another two or three good seasons.

- Salute Your Shorts
- MST3K
- The Adventures of Pete and Pete
- Tale Spin (heck, all the "old" Disney cartoons...Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers...good stuff :) )



Salute your shorts was a great show, much better than "Hey, Dude"

I also miss You Can't Do That On Television, and the original Double Dare.

Pinky and the Brain * I still have the original theme tune for that somewhere*

The Original Power Rangers - That was excellent before they ruined with all these new ones.

Duck Tales

I used to like "The Marshal" with Jeff Fahey, but it just died out.

Sienfeld was funny.

Damn, I forgot Brimstone. That was a pretty good series too.

Yes it was. FOX had some really great shows that didnt make it. The Lone Gunmen on the other hand was terrible.....

I don't know what the folks at fox were thinking. Those three were annoying in the X files. Why give them their own show?

maybe they were the only 3 who wanted to continue after x-flies folded....

Dangermouse
Count Duckula

Oooh, they were two of my favourites when I was a kid. You win the thread.

I also forgot about Tales from the Darkside.....magnificent show.
