Posted: 9/16/06 at 11:52amGoodbyeMyLover, that definitelly was not a flop! They're still running reruns on a local channel. I think it was preetty successful.

Hope and Faith somehow managed to run three seasons.
Eight Simple Rules ran two and a half seasons. The first, with John Ritter. After he died, they brought in James Garner as the grandfather, and eventually David Spade as the slacker cousin. Then Adam Arkin as the high school princal/romantic interest for Katey Sagal.
Somehow the timeline of the show made no sense. In less than one year, David Spade went from having no college experience to being a high school teacher.
The incredibly hot Kaley Cuoco (sp.?) then joined CHARMED for their final season.

Posted: 9/16/06 at 12:01pmI think all of the episodes of Pasadena were eventually aired on Soapnet, DG. Unfortunately I don't get that channel.

Well, shoot!
I suppose I might have known that if I actually watched TV regularly!

MrMidwest---I think many of us are in agreement that your new "av" is outstanding.

Thanks, guys. She's so underappreciated.
I wonder if Just the 10 of Us will even ever make it to DVD. It wasn't exactly that short lived, but it didn't run that long either.

How about JOANIE LOVES CHACHI? I don't think it even got a video release.

I want The Brady Bunch Variety Hour!
Not just the one DVD with the two shows on it... I want all SIX of 'em! (Yep, they were cancelled after six.)
Aren't their clothes pretty?
"Shiny" is my favorite color!

I want the "San Pedro Beach Bums" and "The Kids From C.A.P.E.R." on DVD---I loved those 2 shows! And another vote for "The Banana Splits (four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.)
Bridget Loves Bernie (the complete series) was released on DVD a few weeks ago.

I loved it too - when Joanna was on-camera.
Joanna Gleason. Yum.

Posted: 9/17/06 at 12:07amI'd love to have St. Elsewhere on DVD
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Posted: 9/17/06 at 12:13amSt. Elsewhere was far from a flop - I'm surprised they haven't released that yet! Such a good show.

Posted: 9/17/06 at 1:58amI'm so glad I'm not the only one who loved Young Americans. I was completely obsessed for that whole summer and then it just disappeared. The girl from The L Word was the best part by far. Its a shame Kate Bosworth now looks like a skeleton.

I didn't watch Young Americans much, but that Mark Famiglietti sure is a cutie!

I don't remember Just the Ten of Us (I was only 3 when it aired), but I do remember the episode of Growing Pains where they set up the show. I thought it was a pretty involved plot for one-shot characters. It all makes sense now...
This is really recent, but I loved State of Grace. It was on Fox Family, then ABC bought it and the shows disappeared forever. Considering it was on a family channel, it was surprisingly funny and had really good moments. Alia Shawkat and Mae Whitman both ended up on Arrested Development, another show which aired for far too few episodes.

Anyone remember Living Dolls?

Posted: 10/11/06 at 5:16pmI want "Paper Dolls" with Nicolette Sheridan, "Nightengales" about the former strippers turned nurses, "The Jenny McCarthy Show" and "Rags to Riches" about those orphan girls. Those are all some serious gay adolescent tv watching from the 80s thats needs to be on DVD. Not to mention "Alice" which isn't a flop, but has never come out on DVD.
