re: Robot Girl VICI (Voice Initiated something or other)...real name Tiffany Brissette (so sad that I know that).

How about the most annoying next-door-neighbor EVER: redheaded Harriet, who was in love with VICI's brother, Jamie.

Punky Brewster
Hey Dude
Full House
Growing Pains
Perfect Strangers
Wonder Years
David the Gnome
Eureeka's Castle
Welcome to Pooh Corner
Dumbo's Circus
Adventures in Wonderland(90s?)

Those are the ones I think that at least were the late 80s...love and miss these shows!

What, no Gimme a Break? Starring one of theater's brightest stars, Miss Nell Carter??

My dear friend was a series regular on that show - she is now the voice of Juniper Lee on the Cartoon Network - can't leave your house in NYC these days without seeing an ad for it!

GLOW was INSANE. It was the most politically incorrect thing I've ever seen.

There was a female "terrorist" wrestler named Palestina, a Communist named Colonel Ninotchka, who was always pitted against Americana, who wore essentially a sequined American flag as her outfit.

I'll never forget when Sally the Farmer's Daughter was wrestling Palestina. Palestina was praying to Mecca on her carpet, and Sally began doing a square dance on the carpet. Palestina reached into her pocket and pulled out a handful of....SAND!...and tossed it into Sally's eyes.

This show was complete and utter madness. Thank God I have some DVDs!

OMG Elphie...I was totally going to post about David the Gnome when I first saw this thread...Didn't he have rats or mice or something? I don't remember.

Yeah, and Small Wonder. That was one F*CKed up show!

Rath- I, too, loved Gimme a Break. I remember being very upset when the "Chief" died on the show (and in real life). I think I know who your friend is....if it's the same person as I think it is, they did a very flattering story on her many (and impressive) accomplishments on the E! network ("Child Stars of the 80s").

Absolutely! My husband (who is an attorney) and I enjoyed the account of the jury trial. She came across as a very grounded and intelligent individual, which is very refreshing to see!

Yeah, that is a cute story. She hated being a lawyer, though, and really had to start from the ground up to get into voiceovers. She's doing great now.

Denver the last dinosaur was so cool... i loved that show, i had the trainers and everything lol! I also really liked Thomas The Tank Engine, my dad built me a train bed with a face and everything! The 80's were well cool... teenage mutant hero turtles were late 80's too!

Denver the last dinosaur
He's my friend and a whole lot more!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the best late-80s show. They have a new version, but it sucks.

What about that afternoon block of Disney cartoons, like Chip and Dale, Tale Spin, Ducktales? I had to be in front of a TV every day to watch those shows, no matter where we were at 2pm.

Mabel...rats and mice on David the Gnome? I mean there was emphasis put on animals sometimes but I don't remember anything specifically with rats or mice...he had a Fox named Swift and his enemies were 3 trolls.

On G.L.O.W.:
Let's not forget Matilda the Hun and Mount Fiji (with her sometimes partner, Little Fiji). I knew it was fake when I saw Matilda and Mount on
MAMA'S FAMILY,
playing for the same team.

Other shows:
Beverly Hills Teens (a cartoon that used to be on after school. I stopped watching it after I realised that they never changed clothes, unless they changed into bathing suits)

Happily Ever After (I believe that was the title of this sitcom that dealt with Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty living as roomates in the present day. It only lasted a few episodes)

Square One (For those of you in middle school at the time, I'm sure you know this one)

Que Pasa, USA (I think you had to be in Miami to know this show)

Kids Incorporated (K-I-D-S!! And let's not forget that Stacey - one of the kids - who later sang for Wild Orchid, is now the female singer for "Black Eyed Peas")

You Can't Do That on Television (and I'm talking pre-Alanis Morrisette, with Christine, Lisa, Alistair, and Kevin Kubechowski)

Pinwheel (and those obnoxious puppets)

Still the Beaver (At the tender age of 11 - or was I twelve -, I had a crush on that Kip Marcus)

Out of This World (It was on after Small Wonder)

Charles in Charge (Meg Ryan plays his girlfriend)
and Charles in Charge Again (C.I.C. refurnished with new kids)

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
