Favorite TV shows that are off the air now. — Page 4

I wasn't allowed to watch it because I used to mimic the bad behavior of the robot daughter.

"she's a small wonder ...
pretty and bright with soft curls..."

that's all i remember. i remember my dad was taping something on tv and accidentally set the channel to the wrong station. small wonder got taped instead and you better believe i watched that episode probably 35 times over the course of a month.

Quantum Leap and Sex and the City.... too completely different genres, but equally great shows.

Peyton Place
Family
China Beach

WONDERFALLS

and the wonder years.

weren't they wonderful?

and freaks and geeks too, for its amazing accuricy in emulating my high school life.

hon. mention:

-daria
-my so-called life
-pete n pete
-Upright Citizens Bergade
-Buffy

I miss oh-so-dearly:
Friends
Home Improvement (hella JTT)
Wonder Years
Boy Meets World (although Disney plays old episodes constantly.)
And as stupid and melodramatic as it was...I miss Dawson's Creek.

I definitely miss the Wonder Years, and I am a closet Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes fan.

Of course I watched those shows WAY after they aired, I was about 8 at the time...in 199-something. But I love those shows.

There are some older shows that I also love- thank God for TV Land and Nick at Nite!

Quantum Leap (I am such a nerd)

Ooooh my god! Rocko's Modern Life!!!! *gasp* And the afternoon show with Stick Stickly haha

Haha I remember that show!

How about Eureka's Castle??

FYI Quantum Leap season 1 is on DVD (you are not the only nerd).

Grosse Pointe

It was a fabulous show on the WB, created by Darrin Star (of "Sex and the City" fame). It was comedy about what happens behind the scenes on a "90210"-style young drama. Absolutely fantastic. If my memory serves me correctly, they were cancelled before the end of the first season. It's really a pity that it didn't catch on. I loved it. I believe I may have cried when I learned of its cancellation. Yes, I was really that attached to it.


Clone High

Crazy MTV cartoon about clones of historical figures attending high school together. Hilarious writing. They only aired like 5 episodes in the U.S., but I've heard rumor that it's syndicated in Canada. I really hope they put out a DVD. I have 3 episodes on my computer taking up massive amounts of space. But they're worth it.


The Pretender

A super-genius named Jarod has the ability to change professions and identities at whim. He uses this ability to help those in trouble while eluding the evil organization that pursues him. I didn't start watching it until it was over. I think it is still playing reruns on TNT, but it's at like 7:00am, so it's useless to me. Very suspenseful show with a lot of heart. Actually, I didn't care about the separate episode plots as much as I did the backstory of Jared's life that was being slowly revealed. There were two TV movies continuing the plot of The Pretender, which were both filmed by TNT after the show had been cancelled on cable. I really wish they'd been given time to reveal more. It just seems so... unresolved. Very troubling. Still an excellent show.
