So what are some of the TV shows that you miss, that they don't show anymore?

For me:

Clone High: It was an awesome show, and it only ran for one season. Why do some awesome show only play for one season while crappier show get greenlighted for another season?

Favorite Quote: JFK's Clone: "Nothing bad....ever happen to the Kennedys! HA HA!" *car flips over*
Dr. Scudworth: "Did you see the pool? They flipped the bitch!"
JFK's Clone: "I'm a Kennedy, I'm not accustomed to tragedies!"

Invader Zim: One of the BEST show ever to air on Nick! EVER! If you ever want to laugh your ass off then you need to buy the complete DVD set of Season One. Invader Zim actually got canceled for a very stupid reason.

The show was axed after the 9/11 tragedy. It was beleived that a show featuring a megalomaniacal alien attempting to destroy the world was 'too sensitive a subject' to be showing after the 9/11 attacks.

You really gotta wonder who's so stupid that they'll confused a cartoon alien who can't even keep his robot Gir under control much less take over the world, to Islamic terrorist...

Favorite Quotes:

Gir: "Yay we're doooomed!"

Dib: [gasping] Sorry I'm late... horrible... nightmare visions!
Ms. Bitters: It's called life, Dib. Now sit down.

[at the North Pole]
Elves: [singing] Bow down... bow down... before the power of Santa! Or be crushed... be crushed... by his jolly boots of doom!

Zim: What *is* our mission, GIR?
Gir: Blend in with the indigenous life, analyze their weaknesses, prepare the planet fo the coming madness, yay!

Zim: Computer, give me all the information you have on the FBI.
Computer: The FBI is a government law enforcement agency.
Zim: Continue.
Computer: Insufficient data.
Zim: "Insufficient data"? Can't you just make an educated guess?
Computer: O... kay... Um, founded in 1492 by, uh... demons, the FBI is a crack law enforcement agency designed to... uh, I dunno, fight... aliens?
Zim: I KNEW IT!

These are the only two shows I really miss.

I would put Celebrity Deathmatch on here, but they're showing it on MTV2 now.

Father Ted. I wish Dermot Morgan was still alive.

Father Ted. I wish Dermot Morgan was still alive.

I know what you mean, but I think in some ways they made the perfect number - it never had the chance to get even remotely clap (I am sticking to Preston rules swearing from now on) - every episode is a gem.

Firefly.

I miss Firefly, and with my 'nostalgia' hat on, I miss Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain

Father Ted. I wish Dermot Morgan was still alive.

This. Needs moar Dermot Morgan!

BSG. Channel 4 used to show it but then stopped it. And, Doctor Who.

You mean the new, good BSG, right?

And for me, it'd have to be Due South. Canadians make for compelling television, people ought to know this by now.

Yup. I really miss it.

Yup. I really miss it.
Another 2 or 3 months and we get the last section of Series 4, which will be the end of BSG. Can't wait to see how it ends.

Lucky you. :(

Gothic.
Show really creeped me out-almost too intense for television.

fawlty towers

Rocko's Modern Life.
Ren and Stimpy.
Ahhh! Real Monsters.
The X-Files.
All That.
Clarissa Explains It All.
Are You Afraid of the Dark?

I watched way too much Nick as a kid. *Sigh* The glory days of cartoons.

I miss Firefly. I also Miss Rocko's Modern Life, and Ren and Stimpy

Gothic.

American Gothic, yeah I liked that.

Ohh and Happy Days.

Fawlty Towers, Spitting Image and Miami Vice.

I miss MTV's Liquid Television. That show was awesome.

American Gothic was always interesting - weird as feck but good (: I miss that strange CG cartoon from when I were little, 'Reboot' I think it was called.

:p

@ Wilgrove: More tea Wesley?

I miss that show too. And I wish Firefly went longer, but I has the dvds so I can't say I miss it.

Now, I'll join in the Pinky and the Brain and Animaniacs chorus. Glory days indeed.

The Adventures of Alex Mac. I had the biggest crush on her...

Farscape. What a brilliant show that was. Must get a copy.

I know there's more, but I've forgotten them. How lame of me. Wesley.

I never liked MTV...

Neither do I, but Liquid Television was an exception. It was a cartoon show that gave us Beavis and Butthead, Crazy Daisy Ed and The Brothers Grunt. It was also the launching pad for Aeon Flux.

Farscape. What a brilliant show that was. Must get a copy.

Farscape was.. ace :] also - Jonny Quest, I miss that - as well the Animaniacs... absolutely fantastic they were.

American Gothic was always interesting - weird as feck but good (: I miss that strange CG cartoon from when I were little, 'Reboot' I think it was called.

:p

There was a cartoon that I used to watch as a kid, about 5 mins long, about a small black and white bird whos power wasw the ablity to 'multiply like the stars in the sky', and for th elife of me I can't remeber the name of the damn thing.

I think it was Finish, and called 'Super Luna', but I don't know, anybody remember that one?

Can't remember the bird - although the title sounds really familiar
:S

Yep that one and 'G-Force':D

I also wish there'd be a new series of QI. I love it, but I'm sick of watching the repeats on DAVE.

I know they're still airing it on Comedy Central, but it has been way too long since Futurama got canceled.

You mean the new, good BSG, right?

And for me, it'd have to be Due South. Canadians make for compelling television, people ought to know this by now.

If you're of a certain age, you like both BSGs. TV in 1978 was not exactly highbrow and it was a breathtaking show. It still looks good on DVD, which few 30 year old TV shows can say.

Now I'll grant that it has it's elements of cheese. So does the new one. ;)

Firefly, Stargate SG1 (new episodes), Tom and Jerry

The X-files are still on just during the day.

Blackadder, Tour of Duty, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica (either of 'em, though we still have half season four to go), Blake's 7, The Prisoner...

...is it obvious that in the 80s I only got CBS and Public TV? :)

Yes, Minister
Blackadder
Futurama

Doctor Who

It will be back, its on a year hiatus.

Two words : Laser Torpedoes. 'Nuff said.

Deadwood

I miss the Thundercats.

none.

tv shows run their course and end.

if they were any good they replay forever in reruns and on dvd.

no offense intended but i don't miss any of them a dam bit. i do miss, have always missed, the potential of what that media couldhave, wouldhave, shouldhave been, but sorry, it just never quite, to my taste, entirely was.

today we have the internet where real people, you and me and anybody, can actually be creative and share that, and to me, this is intrinsically a much much much better thing.

of course economic intrests can't stand to see that, trying to make something to get their greedy little fingers into and put us back into the box of being bottle fed their brainwashing out of it. so far i think the've only been partially successful at doing so. human ignorance is perhapse not quite as infinite as they insist on assuming and attempting to exploit.

Blackadder
I think Blackadder ran it's full course. Once they'd done the Dark Ages, Age of Discovery, Georgian Period, and World War I, there wasn't a whole lot left. It would have been nice to see a Victorian Black Adder, but a lot of that ground was covered between III and IV.
Futurama
This I agree with. The movies just aren't the same, probably because of the long break in between.

Although I never knew it on it's first run, I wish there were more episodes of Bottom. That show was delicious.

No one has mentioned Arrested Development yet. This makes me sad.

I miss:
Invader Zim
Zoids: Chaotic Century
Arrested Development

EDIT: Poli beat me to it...

I miss Invader Zim.

'Nathan the Nazi Octopus' was a great show from back when I was a kid.

Ok, I made that show up when I was bored in politics lessons at school a few years ago. In my draft stories, he lived by day in a tank owned by Uncle Adolf and Auntie Semitism, but at night engaged in battles and witty wordplay against Colin the Communist Cod and Anna the Anarchist Anglerfish. Unfortunately I have no idea where these drafts are now, so I can't sell them to the BBC for the 12 quintillion quid they surely merit:(

Honest to god, I would watch that. And I'm absolutley NOT going to stela that idea either. :p

Dexter's Laboratory! That was an awesome show.

Let's see...

Firefly
Legends of the Hidden Temple (I always wanted to go on the show. So badly)
Global Guts (I wanted to go on this show too...)
All That, when it was good
Keenan and Kel
Rocko's Modern Life
Pinky and the Brain

I'm certainly leaving many out, but this is a good start.

Dexter's Laboratory! That was an awesome show.

Gods, I miss Hey, Arnold!, Rocko's Modern Life, Aaahhh! Real Monsters and Daria.:(

I miss MTV's Liquid Television. That show was awesome.

Stick Figure Theatre, Postcards from Hell, Plimptoons... I miss Liquid Television. :(

Other shows:
Fame (not that reality show crap)
You Can't Do That On Television
Roundhouse
Turkey Television
Not Necessarily the News
Kids in the Hall
Global Frequency (the best show never aired)
Tucker's Witch (a P.I. is married to a witch who uses her hubby's cases to practice her 'magic')
Scarecrow and Mrs. King (a down-to-earth Housewife is sucked into the world of espionage.)
Automan (a Computer Generated hero and his sidekick... Bit)
Probe (long before Eleventh Hour...)
Something is Out There (could've been written better, the Premise Rocked)
Birds of Prey (Comic Basied series about a trio of Crime Fighting heroines)
Spy Game (Retired Agent is charged with rebuilding the Nation's Intelligence Service)
Police Squad in Color (better than the Naked Gun Movies!)
Danger Mouse
Undercover (pulled because it was deemed 'too realistic')
Greatest American Hero
Night Court
Secrets of Isis (picked this one up as a DVD set... ahh... nostalgia.)
Electra Woman (who remembers this one?)
Wonder Woman (another Nostalgia DVD added to my collection.)
Land of the Lost
Mysterious Cities of Gold (if anyone can point to me to the DVD's... if there are any...)
CatsEye (The First Anime I fell in love with.)

More as I remember them.

Jericho--they should have at least completed a second season
Brimstone--original hunt-down-the-escapees-from-Hell series; better than Reaper (which isn't too bad btw)
Enterprise--kept hoping it would live up to its potential
Young Indiana Jones
Crusade--sequel to Babylon 5 (another I miss, but at least it wrapped up its arc), shamefully mistreated by network
Twin Peaks--a damn fine cup of coffee

I miss a lot of the stuff that Adult Swim used to show, it doesn't air here anymore. :(

Firefly.
Seconded.
I miss Firefly, and with my 'nostalgia' hat on, I miss Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain
Oh, those were fun, too!
Ren and Stimpy.
The X-Files.
Clarissa Explains It All.
Those, too.
Happy Days.
Oh my!
Neither do I, but Liquid Television was an exception. It was a cartoon show that gave us Beavis and Butthead, Crazy Daisy Ed and The Brothers Grunt. It was also the launching pad for Aeon Flux.
Those were pretty much the only things I watched on MTV. Apart from Headbangers' Ball with Vanessa Warwick.
Futurama
Yes!
'Nathan the Nazi Octopus'
That sounds like it'd be fun. Octopus is great - I guess I'd just have to deal with Nathan being a Nazi. :$
Dexter's Laboratory!
Hehe.
Kids in the Hall
Birds of Prey (Comic Basied series about a trio of Crime Fighting heroines)
Danger Mouse
Wonder Woman (another Nostalgia DVD added to my collection.)
Those I remember well.

Man, there are so many TV shows that I grew up with, most of which produced by Gary Larson. Watching the reruns always brings back fond childhood memories.

Luckily, they have finally decided to put "The Fall Guy" on DVD (2 seasons so far, I need more. More! MORE I say!!!) That's among my favorite TV shows ever!

I think Blackadder ran it's full course. Once they'd done the Dark Ages, Age of Discovery, Georgian Period, and World War I, there wasn't a whole lot left. It would have been nice to see a Victorian Black Adder, but a lot of that ground was covered between III and IV.

I think it still had life in it. A couple of ideas they've floated have sounded good. The problem is that they ended it so perfectly (both goodbyeeee and the last special) that they couldn't really top it. It'd still be good but not as good. I still miss it though.

oh. Something else I miss watching on TV.

Music Videos on MTV!

Firefly.

I so intrested, I've read so much good stuuff about it so naturally I wanna see whats everybody talking about.

Please, don't even go there!

I so intrested, I've read so much good stuuff about it so naturally I wanna see whats everybody talking about.
In my opinion, the best show ever produced. Too bad FOX messed up the way it aired and canceled it way too early. That show had great potential, not so say it was very amusing to watch!

While I am an admitted Whedon-fanboy with a not-so-minor obsesion with Summer Glau, so naturally you must take all my gushing praise with a grain of salt, Firefly truly was an amazing show cancelled because of a variety of factors that were beyond its control: Faulty advertising, improper airing, and frequent pre-emtpions for sports programs.

The series is awesome, if short, the follow up film is equally comparable, and the comics are art.

You. Must. See. It.

Please, don't even go there!

heck.. even cartoon network is now starting to show live action films. what is this world coming to! :headbang:

Mysterious Cities of Gold (if anyone can point to me to the DVD's... if there are any...)


Entire series was released on DVD in the UK so it is on amazon.co.uk for £39.98

Uhh, I dunno. Hehehe. TV rocks.

edit: I guess those guys, Cornholio and Butthead were pretty cool.

Yesssss! thxs!

Gargoyles

Justice League


Pinky and the Brain I'm kind of indifferent on, they had a good run, then they shoved Elmyra in the mix. "It's what the network wants, why bother to complain".

I so intrested, I've read so much good stuuff about it so naturally I wanna see whats everybody talking about.

Two words : Laser Torpedoes. 'Nuff said.

Oh, agreed. But in a time when it'd been nearly 10 years since serious sci-fi had been done on television... (compare the old BSG to Space: 1999 and consider how bad it COULD have been...). And I can even forgive that, the boy & his dog storylines, even the "Fire in Space" episdoe.

Heck, the recent BSG has had it's share of dialogue disasters too. Like most of the Baltar-in-his-head-with-Six scenes (heck, ALL of them in Series 1!).

But that misses the point: all sci-fi series require one to suspend disbelief. Maybe it's because I watched a lot of Dr. Who as well, but I have no problem suspending it far enough that in the old BSG universe they found a way to mix lasers and mass drivers to form a "laser torpedo". ;)

And for me, it'd have to be Due South. Canadians make for compelling television, people ought to know this by now.

Due South, damn there is a blast from the past.

The Adventures of Alex Mac. I had the biggest crush on her...

Same, I loved this show, back when Nick made good shows. Though I never saw the full first episode, the only episode I didn't see completley. Everytime they showed it I only saw the last 10 minutes.

One show I really miss is The Ferals.

Blackadder, Tour of Duty, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica (either of 'em, though we still have half season four to go), Blake's 7, The Prisoner...

...is it obvious that in the 80s I only got CBS and Public TV? :)

Yes, yes I adored Blake 7 I know the storyline ended but I still enjoyed it.

Actually I also miss Monkey.

Gods, I miss Hey, Arnold!, Rocko's Modern Life, Aaahhh! Real Monsters and Daria.:(

I miss these too, loved them as a kid. As well I miss Super Ted, Bananaman, Danger Mouse, Banagers and Mash, Chip and Dale Resuce Rangers, Tailspin and a whole list of other shows that people have already mentioned.

Hulu doesn't work in Finland.

The thing to do might be to download the Graboid Video (http://www.graboid.com/) player. I haven't used it myself, but the streaming video website says it should work outside the U.S.

Star Trek: Enterprise. I am a born Trekkie - both my parents are fans. We were extremely disappointed when the show was canceled.

Commander In Chief. A great show (it won a freaking Emmy), and ABC put it on hold during the 2006 Olympics, then moved it to a different timeslot. Idiots.

I didn't catch Firefly while it aired. I actually discovered the show (via a friend) when the trailers for Serenity were out. I saw the trailer once and got confused by it. I later watched the series, then saw the trailer again, and became totally psyched. I cannot recommend both the series and the movie enough. Joss Whedon is brilliant, noteworthy for his excellent dialogue (at least one in four lines in Serenity are funny/memorable) and ability to switch between comedy to drama without missing a beat.

Also, a recent poll by New Scientist named Serenity the third-greatest sci-fi film of all time. It was only beaten out by 2001 and Blade Runner, and got more votes than all the Star Wars movies combined.

Aeon Flux (and everything else that was on MTVs Oddities)

Firefly

Airwolf

Freaks and Geeks


to name a few.

Boy Meets World

also:

Sealab 2021, Arrested Development (why FOX got rid of that I will never understand), Spawn: The Animated Series...

Definitely The Rockford Files....

and Deadwood

I miss Firefly, and with my 'nostalgia' hat on, I miss Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain

Pinky and the Brain is on YTV at about 2:30 in the morning. I miss Ripping Friends, I AM Weasel and all other old teletoon shows

Invisible Man
John Doe
Bionic Woman (the new one)
Flash Gordon (the new one)
Painkiller Jane

Invisible Man
John Doe
Bionic Woman (the new one)
Flash Gordon (the new one)
Painkiller Jane

Painkiller Jane is off the air already? Add that to my list too then.


Invisible Man was badass as well.

oh damn, I can't even think of all the shows I wouldn't mind seeing again on TV.

I won't go into a longass list but I will list some:

Dragonball Z
Animaniacs
Bugs Bunny + Looneytoons
Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy
Invader Zim

Also, I was never really into reality TV...

A Pup Named Scooby Doo was more enjoyable than the original scooby doo to me.


*wonders if i am the only one to have watched it as a kid*

I'm talking about the nintendo cartoons of the 80s the show starring Captain Lou Albano that had the mario and zelda shorts.

There was also the one with the kid with the duck hunt gun with the game boy and they always fought mother brain, and king hippo from punch out!!!....can't remember the name of it though.

Firefly, Doctor Doctor, The West Wing (under Aaron Sorkin -- the first four years), Arrested Development, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (mostly the Joel episodes), Cosmos (PBS hasn't had a series like it since).

[Mystery Science Theater 3000[/I] (mostly the Joel episodes),.

Firefly, Battletech, Exo Squad, Futurama, Space: Above and Beyond, Clone High, Mission Hill, and Undergrads.

Futurama's coming back to Comedy Central next year.

Boy Meets World

I dated a woman 10 years my junior and she was a huge fan of the show. I grudgingly watched it with her once and was immediately hooked. I was surprised that a show aimed at, well, kids, could be so well written, thoughtful, and genuinely funny. Especially considering there was a Savage involved (I loathed Fred Savage, but Ben was a lot of fun to watch). Besides, Topanga, Angela and Rachel? Hot, hot, hot.

Nobody was talked down to, even in the first years of the show. The show's tone managed a very deft change as the characters (and actors) grew up.

Im only 26 im not old either! :tongue:

That's almost 10 more than me, old enough =P

The Joel episodes were the best, Mike was ok, but he was no Joel.

The short films were my favorites. "Mister B Natural" or "A Day at the Circus". Priceless.

That's Captain N.

Captain N!


You must remember the Mario/Link cereal too.


worst cereal ever.

today we have the internet where real people, you and me and anybody, can actually be creative and share that, and to me, this is intrinsically a much much much better thing.


Are you serious? Especially considering that 99.9% of everything on youtube is extremely extremely shit, and most of the popular stuff on youtube is just old clips from tv.

Im only 26 im not old either! :tongue:20+ is old.

Clone High

THE END! Best show ever.

Reboot

I've just remembered Bugs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugs_(TV_series)). That was a great show from back when I was a kid.

jPod
Royal Canadian Air Farce - I will miss it when it officially goes off the air after the New Years special.

It had potential but CBC wouldn't know good comedy even if it bit them on the ass - I mean, Little Mosque on the Prairie? Sure the Rick Mercer Report has me clutching my sides, but other than that, it is terrible for programming.

It will be back, its on a year hiatus.

It's actually getting 5 specials (counting the Christmas special) between now and 2010.

As for me, I miss Firefly and Avatar the Last Airbender.

anothers I missed.
Electric Company (Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader FTW!)
3-2-1 Contact!
Connections (hmmm... How did a purfume bottle help the auto industry?)

The short films were my favorites. "Mister B Natural" or "A Day at the Circus". Priceless.

Oh and a Date with the Family!

"Daddy I'm dating a Negro!"

Classic

I miss Daria. Now there was a show I could enjoy. It's not even released on dvds so I have to find it on youtube. Boo.

Painkiller Jane is off the air already? Add that to my list too then.


Invisible Man was badass as well.

It went off the air before Flash Gordon and Bionic Woman started.

Anyone mentioned Firefly yet? Letting that one go was just criminal/

the chapel show, ren and stimpy late night even though it grossed me out a bit

oh almost forgot forgot jericho

oh almost forgot forgot jerichoI was under the impression that was still on.

Anyone mentioned Firefly yet? Letting that one go was just criminal/

Only about one in three posters in this thread. :tongue:

Another call for Firefly.

And maybe the only call for "Carnivale"

I miss MTV's Liquid Television. That show was awesome.

I think they called that "Oddities" in the UK, and it was the first place I encountered "The Maxx", which was unbelievably awesome.

Different series.
Oddities were more centered around two or three shows Maxx being one of em. Liquid TV was more like Robot chicken but with various styles of animation as well as stop motion shorts.

There was a cartoon that I used to watch as a kid, about 5 mins long, about a small black and white bird whos power wasw the ablity to 'multiply like the stars in the sky', and for th elife of me I can't remeber the name of the damn thing.

I think it was Finish, and called 'Super Luna', but I don't know, anybody remember that one?

I'm gonna sound crazy here... I'm notorious for not watching tv, so what are the odds that I would be right, and pull the correct French cartoon from your description?

Did you mean: "Wattoo Wattoo: Super Bird" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfIE_hzapGk), by any chance?

Anyone mentioned Firefly yet? No. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14297391&postcount=4)

Ah, showing my age then, I guess. :)

I remember when they played music videos on MTV...

Freaks and Geeks

No. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14297391&postcount=4)So I was too lazy to read the entire thread.:tongue:

no more so than I (Oddities came AFTER Liquid TV was cancelled.) ;)

I remember when TBS was my only source for Music Videos. :p

One video short I'm looking for is a Raven rapping out Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven". that one was great!

Ah - I didn't have access to MTV pre-Oddities, that's my excuse. :)

I think they called that "Oddities" in the UK, and it was the first place I encountered "The Maxx", which was unbelievably awesome.

No, Oddities came after.
And yes, ''The Maxx'' was an amazing show.:)

Legend of the Hidden Temple and all the old Nick game shows.
Rugrats.
Ahhh Real Monsters.
Clarissa Explains It All.
Pepper-Anne.
The old "All That (with Amanda Bynes and Rosie O'Donnell).
Rocko's Modern Life
Doug.
KABLAM.
I kinda miss CatDog, too.
Dexter's Lab.

Most shows no longer on the air I don't miss, because I feel they've run their course and to make new episodes would only damper their excellence. That being said, I think Father Ted could have run for at least one more season. It would probably be easier to find copies of, too, if it ran for more than three years.
I also miss The Simpsons. Yes, I know they are still technically on, but in the same way a patient in a vegetative state is still alive. The movie would have been a good way to wrap things up.

I miss the animaniacs.

And I Tinytoons.:(

I remember them too! :D

Fixed. =D

I think I forgot Freakazoid in my earlier posts. Why the hell weren't there more series:confused:. That show was quality

I miss The Wonder Years. Man that was a great show.

there are too many to recount, just too many.

I miss The Wonder Years. Man that was a great show.

Meh I found it boring, and Kevin obsession with Winnie borders on Stalking.

The old "All That (with Amanda Bynes and Rosie O'Donnell).
This. I remember when All That was a good variety show relatively on par with SNL and good Mad TV. Amanda Bynes did a mean Ross Perot.

You also forgot The Secret World of Alexx Mac, Hey Dude!, and Salute Your Shorts. And there was You Can't Do That on Television.

I miss The Wonder Years. Man that was a great show.

Indeed. Though it started to peter out in the end. Winnie Cooper grew up kind of hot and brainy at that.

As to the op, some of the recent onces I miss are the X-Files, stargate sg1 and Farscape.

Sg1 was good but it was over long ago. I'm glad they finally gave Farscape a real ending.

When Anderson left, it did kind of loose it's spirit. I did like the farscape people. Vala was a great amoral character.

The show lost its spirit when they started pulling enemies out of their ass. Half the entire series was dedicated to fighting the Goa'uld. Then they started moving into god villain. Anubis was half-believable, but the Ori? The moment they introduced the Ori, they jumped the shark. Actually, they jumped some trashcans when the plot line changed from the humans being just humans rising in the galaxy to being Ancients: Part 2 and started exercising ancient technologies as their own. And subsuming the other races in the galaxy. They obviously started losing budget, or creative talent.

Also:

Malcolm In The Middle

Let's see...

Firefly
Legends of the Hidden Temple (I always wanted to go on the show. So badly)
Global Guts (I wanted to go on this show too...)
All That, when it was good
Keenan and Kel
Rocko's Modern Life
Pinky and the Brain

I'm certainly leaving many out, but this is a good start.

Wouldn't happen to have any Orange Soda?

When I went there to watch it, it said that it's only available in the US.

C'mon man, it's called a Proxy. Use it.

none.

tv shows run their course and end.

if they were any good they replay forever in reruns and on dvd.

Fawlty Towers is rerunning on One in NZ.

But,
Early Simpsons
Rockos Modern Life

Black Adder
Magnum P.I.
Johnny Bravo
Ren and Stimpy.
Ahhh! Real Monsters.

So many shows I can't remember, too...

20+ is old.

30+ is old...

*realizes he's only 4 years away from 30*

:(

It went off the air before Flash Gordon and Bionic Woman started.

Damn shame. It could have been one of Sci Fi's best shows.

That's what I dont get they cancel a good show like painkiller jane but they keep dragging along the stargate franchise...

Wouldn't happen to have any Orange Soda?

I do as long as Good Burger stays nice and dead.:tongue:

I miss the original Ryori no Tetujin (the show that became Iron Chef in the US) Neruton, Kyosen's "Sukainai Eigo", the 11 PM Wide Show - rare classics of Japanese TV. :D

also:

Sealab 2021, Arrested Development (why FOX got rid of that I will never understand), Spawn: The Animated Series...

Was Arrested Development cancelled or did it actually come to a stop. I've watched all three seasons and the final episode seems to wrap everything nicely or was that hastily written in.

Captain Planet

A reason why you bloded this one? But I too miss this show, a friend is holding a Captain Planet party next week, where we watch as many shows as we can, can't wait.

But I see that you also listed the Power Rangers. Eww, I started watching the show a few times but it was crap, even for my 8 year old mind.

anothers I missed.
Electric Company (Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader FTW!)
3-2-1 Contact!
Connections (hmmm... How did a purfume bottle help the auto industry?)

Great choices there. 3-2-1 Contact got me hooked on science in the late grades of elementary school. Connections was just plain brilliant. Between Burke from England and David Suzuki from Canada, much of my formative years was spent being televisually educated by the non-US English-speaking world. Save for Cosmos and Carl Sagan.

And how the frell could I have forgotten Farscape? Ben Browder played the best fish-out-of-water-gets-used-to-water-and-learns-to-surf character ever. My favorite has to be the partially-animated episode, a tribute to the Warner Brothers animations of Bob Clampett, Tex Avery and Chuck Jones.

And how the frell could I have forgotten Farscape?
Because it was pure pish. Nice effects and shit, but it was pretty weak dialogue-wise, and that's what really ought to count.

I remember FOX cancelled it and showtime was going to pick it up, since I don't have showtime i never knew what came of it.

Was Arrested Development cancelled or did it actually come to a stop. I've watched all three seasons and the final episode seems to wrap everything nicely or was that hastily written in.

It was toyed with so many times by FOX execs that the writers wrote what was happening to the show into the scripts. The third season bit where the Bluth Co. was given an order for 22 houses but had the order reduced to 16 was a direct numerical reference to episode count being jerked around by FOX. They wrote in time slot changes and all of the other arbitrary shit that FOX pulled. It was brilliant -- too brilliant for broadcast TV. The aborted third season was able to wrap the series up because they knew the end was coming.

Because it was pure pish. Nice effects and shit, but it was pretty weak dialogue-wise, and that's what really ought to count.

We disagree then. I can't imagine watching anything as much as I watched Farscape if it had bad dialogue. I'm not going to dredge up scripts or anything because there'll be no convincing you. I loved the dialogue, the acting, the concept, the effects, the characters -- everything.

Gundam Wing...I have the box set, it rules...

Cowboy Bebop and Trigun...i wish theyd release box sets of these shows...

the original Doug on Nickelodeon...Kriffing Disney :mad:...As well as the Original Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Real Monsters, and so many other good Nicktoons, lol....

Jossys Giants, Super Ted, Monkey, Ulysses 31, The Sweeney,TisWas, Play School, Jigsaw, BSG with Starbuck

Jossys Giants, Super Ted, Monkey, Ulysses 31, The Sweeney,TisWas, Play School, Jigsaw, BSG with Starbuck

Trigan sucked. The serious side was extremely serious and the humorous side was extremely immature. Had they been in two different shows instead of the same one, it would have been much better. It would be like Cowboy Bebop and Shin Chan were the same show.
And I'm pretty sure both have box sets.

It's hard to say one misses I Love Lucy when it is on every day on TV Land

Did anyone hear?
They are not getting enough good ratings, and so they are canceling...
PUSHING DAISIES!!! :eek::eek2::(:$:confused:

They will air a few more episodes and then stop... :(

X-Fire on Channel 4
Noah's Island on BBC 2
Robot Wars on BBC 2

Earthworm Jim on ITV
Crystal Maze (The old one's with Richard O'Brien)

I could name more but those are the one's I miss everyday :(

Firefly.

I miss Firefly and Buffy. I also miss a lot of the shows from when I was younger, like My So-called Life. Dead Like Me is also another favourite that I won't get to see again for a while.

Shows that are no longer in the making, or no longer being shown at all?


I guess all of mine are running. Reruns whatever.

Aye I like the serious bits quite a lot, cannot fucking abide the 'humorous' first half. See also Eddie in Cowboy Bebop - bleuch to that.

Rocko's Modern Life.
Ren and Stimpy.
Transformers.
Transformers: Beast Wars

I miss the tick a lot as well....

I own the series and the movie. Wasn't box-set, but I own them. I'm not sure they will box-set that one. Best music EVER.

Still can't believe I'm the only one with enough taste to miss Due South.

It is, without doubt, my favourite TV show involving a mountie being sent to Chicago. It's all on YouTube, look it up. The pilot is a good watch, if a wee bit different to the proceeding series.

Daria
BattleStar Galactica (When, if ever, are they going to show the last episodes? *Hates Sci Fi channel*).
Northern Exposure

Now the ones I would like to miss - when, oh when, will they cancel Survivor, the Great Race, Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, Oprah and Dr. Phil?

Another show I miss is Widget the World Watcher.

Father Ted on Channel 4


I think you'll find that on 13 (or 21 or 49...). Father Ted was never on NBC. ;)

the only time i miss tv is sometimes when i throw things at it. mine is covered with several inches of dust from how long its been since the last time i turned it on.

I miss Maya the bee. I loved that show so much.

http://www.soloimagen.net/dibujos-animados/D-Artacan/D%20Artacan.gif

I so want to be a kid again!

Alot of old shows are shown on reruns.
Ahhh, but so many of those shows are not in reruns and, instead, were made into bad movies or broadway musicals. . . . I would rather the shows came back on then pay $12 for a bad movie remake with a bad plot or $100 for a bad broadway musical. Bring back those shows!

Has the Adventures of Pete and Pete been mentioned?

Now thats a show that brings back some childhood memories....


Salute your Shorts comes to mind as well.

Wasn't Maya the Bee a nick cartoon? Around the same time as the cartoon with the gnomes and eurekas castle?

Red Dwarf- A brittish sci-fi comedy. I would really like for them to bring it back somehow, and with evolved dolphins ruling the Earth.

David the Gnome- just a good classic nick-toon. From Germany; I think.

Tomorrow People- The nickelodion version.

Pete and Pete- another nick show.

Twin Peaks- Because mother f***ing Twin f***ing Peaks, damnit!

Push- it was good too.

SeaLab 2021- why?

Johnny Quest- In all his versions.

Duckman- It was on the USA network, way ahead of its time... Also do not confuse it with Howard the Duck the suck arse movie.

Parker Lewis- Not sure if I spelt that right, but it was also on USA network.

Others include: The Critic, Futurama, The Tick, Married with Children, Mighty Max, and I kind of miss Captin Planet.

Ooo, I forgot Dynamo Mouse, and Count Duckula.

That rocked out. So Weird has also recently returned to my attention (Fi's two seasons anyway, the fluffy crap that was season 3 with Annie was not what I had tuned into the first two seasons for).

I also miss Batman: The Animated Series...one of the most well done comic cartoons ever created, next to the Spawn series.

I don't remember So Weird, but I do remember Are You Afraid of the Dark.

So Weird was on Disney. Young girl, her brother, her rock star mom, and their roadies go from town to town where the girl encounters and investigates the paranormal. Kind of X-files for the younger crowd. Season two went very dark and plot heavy then the actress playing the girl left and was replaced by this little blond twit that Disney thought could sell songs and the show was lightened up and more kiddiefyed.

Sounds like the normal disney tragedy. A great concept destroyed by marketing.

Don't know for sure, Kbrook told me about it just a sec while I go ask her . . .

She says that it's supposed to be out late next year if everything goes according to plan.

Also canceled after 65 episodes, not because it went down in ratings (even the sub-par 3rd season was popular IIRC) but because canceling shows after 65 episodes was Disney policy at the time.

Overdone. The show jumped the shark with the addition of Kochanski. FIrst four seasons were brilliant. Five was okay, and everything after that was a pale imitation.

Twin Peaks- Because mother f***ing Twin f***ing Peaks, damnit!

Pretentious David Lynch horseshit.

SeaLab 2021- why?

First season was funny. Kinda the rule for Adult Swim originals, except perhaps The Venture Brothers.

Duckman- It was on the USA network, way ahead of its time... Also do not confuse it with Howard the Duck the suck arse movie.

Absolutely brilliant show.

Parker Lewis- Not sure if I spelt that right, but it was also on USA network.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose. It was a Fox riff on the idea of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but it was excellent in it's first two seasons. It was made by Canadians, which explains why it was funny (as compared to the actual Ferris Bueller movie-as-TV-show on NBC that I wouldn't show to an audience of my enemies).

The best thing Jason Alexander ever did with his career, and people shat on it.

Agreed on both counts. Loved the multiple reality episode...

DUCKMAN (trying to deal with multiple intersecting realities): Alright, I'll go outside! *opens door*

YET ANOTHER ALTERNATE DUCKMAN WITH A STEEL GIRDER THROUGH HIS CHEST, JUST OUTSIDE: I really wish you wouldn't.

I don't know, but he's all over YouTube.

Here's a good representative rant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WzZ7vpBc44&feature=related).

I guess because I am working I don't get to see TV Land, whatever channel that is.

I also miss Batman: The Animated Series...one of the most well done comic cartoons ever created, next to the Spawn series.

Also the opening sequence is an excellent orchestral piece - I put it as my phone's default ringtone.

I remember that. It was great until they jumped the shark by replacing the main character. The show got really dark then they completely up and changed the main character and it turned into a joke.

Nice. I know that show is finally on DVD. I need to rent it soon.

I also miss Millenium and Brimstone. Farscape too.

Magnum PI
The Sopranos

to name a few

X - files, Northern Exposure, Married with Children was awesome but I think I saw everyone many times over.

http://www.fanpop.com/spots/married-with-children/videos/256742

Lately I have most be watching reruns of HBO show because there is nothing on anymore......I look forward to Big Love return some time before the end of the decade. Tons of shows on HBO never come back it sad really as they are far better than anything on the regular boob tube.

I don't remember So Weird, but I do remember Are You Afraid of the Dark.

holy shit i completely forgot about that...i loved that as a kid. when was that shown? 1995?
hah the memories of kids around a fire telling scary stories, reminds me of when i burnt the school down (j/k).

Survivor. If I never see another one it will be too soon. It to bad they don't televise before hand where they will be filming. That way we could show up guns, rocket launchers and grenades and make it into a real Survivor series. When oh when will reality TV be over?

Agreed. Either that or they'll have to up the ante somehow, and that strikes me as either dangerous or just naked.

I think you'll find that on 13 (or 21 or 49...). Father Ted was never on NBC. ;)

Actually, 'I think you'll find' that Channel 4 is completely correct - if in the UK
;p
Father Ted was a fantastic show - and Are You Afraid of the Dark, great concept and really well executed. Farscape was always an interesting show too, loved the little maintenance bots heh.
^^;

Ooo, I forgot Dynamo Mouse, and Count Duckula.:confused:

Danger Mouse?

Firefly
John Doe
Friends

I watched all three religiously. At least with Friends I got a proper sign-off but with Firefly & John Doe both just ceased to be on anymore which royally pissed me off.

Agreed. Either that or they'll have to up the ante somehow, and that strikes me as either dangerous or just naked.
Why not both? Dangerous and naked, the perfect combination.
It is like peanut butter and chocolate, or strawberries and chocolate, or naked and chocolate: Too great things that go great together.

I miss MTV's Liquid Television. That show was awesome.

Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions. Fucking rocked.

As well as Raven.

Automan (a Computer Generated hero and his sidekick... Bit) :eek:

Something is Out There (could've been written better, the Premise Rocked)

Police Squad in Color (better than the Naked Gun Movies!)

Greatest American Hero
Night Court
Secrets of Isis (picked this one up as a DVD set... ahh... nostalgia.)And Dead Like Me!

Another call for Firefly.

And maybe the only call for "Carnivale"
I didn't get here soon enough. So sue me. :p

Night Gallery.

Mullholland Drive?I remember you bringing that up a while back, and how we'd disagreed on it. I couldn't even finish it.
Howzabout Blue Velvet? ;)

Firefly & John Doe both just ceased to be on anymore which royally pissed me off.
Yo tambien. :(
The episode where he was working on remote viewing was really cool (John Doe of course)

Well, the only part really etched in my brain is the puddle scene from that flick.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention Max Headroom.

:hail:
Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions. Fucking rocked.

I know. Good times, good times. That was the period when MTV was worth watching.:(

Can't wait to see Dr Who on crimbo day!

Don't be dissing on David Lynch. :o

Me, I like just about all of David Lynch's canon.

I'll dis him all I like, thank you. I find him utterly unwatchable. But that's just me.

Hmmm ....
*waits for example of David Lynch non-pretentious non-horseshit*
*taps foot*

You have a long wait on your hands.

And ... Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

Night Gallery.

Two more that rocked.

A recent addition... Fear Itself. I wish they finish showing those unaired episodes!

Naked Lunch was pretty freaky, but didn't come close to Eraserhead in terms of... errr... I don't know what. Something that actually made me stop eating. Which other films haven't been able to do - even Naked Lunch. :)

Well, it might not JUST be you...

What about "Southland Tales"... did you like that?

I miss, and I don't know why, Beverley Hills 90210.

Agreed. Either that or they'll have to up the ante somehow, and that strikes me as either dangerous or just naked.

This is what I always wanted to do for survivor.

Let's try Survivor: Antartica. Take all your contestants, round them up in some scientists cabin, plant a bunch of cameras anywhere, give them a couple of pungee sticks, a pack of matches and a hunting knife, and film them for 60 days. No stupid eat a bug or walk across some stepping stones with a big stick in your hand, just one ultimate task; survival. Give them only running water and electricity that can only be obtained by running a man-powered generator. Would really up the rating if some of the contestants resorted to cannibalism just to stay alive. You have to air the show truman show style 24/7 live footage. Even better would be to put it on PPV and you could make millions!


:hail:
As well as Raven.

I never watched raven. It was one of those shows that I wanted to watch, but by the time i got to sit around and watching it, the show was off the air.

I know. Good times, good times. That was the period when MTV was worth watching.:(

The last time i can remember watching MTV on a regular basis was the Beavis and Butthead/Remote Control/MTV Oddities days. Seems like ages ago.

Well, it might not JUST be you...

That's one I wasn't forced to wa- uh, I mean, I haven't seen that one.

I've been asking about this for a long time now. Where's the COLD survivor? Answer? No quasi-semi-partial nudity to blur out. It wouldn't sell, cannibalism or not. American(men 18-34)s don't like violence without some titty.
