Another one was "Tales of the Gold Monkey" an Indiana Jones rip off but enjoyable.

More -
Hong Kong with Rod Taylor ( 1 season )
Movin On ( 2 ).
Tales of The South Pacific with Gardner Mc Kay

I used to be a big ER fan. But the show has gotten so dull, I have no desire to watch it anymore.

Did anyone ever see Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "That's My Bush!". Funny, funny show.

i remember seeing one episode of Eerie, Indiana! it was pretty weird. all the families got switched around b/c some pencil the kid bought. everything he drew came true. strange.

i also miss those nickelodeon movies. i vaguely remember one about a kid who moves to scotland and becomes friends with a dragon. and one with fred savage from the wonder years. it was something about video games and this champion who nobody could beat. and one that was like a jack and the beanstalk remake thing. and one, all i remember was it was the kid who played smalls on the sandlot. he just moved to a new town and some kid asked him if he could do a backflip. hes like "yeah. but i dont want to." the other kid says hes lying, so he does it.

they were strange movies, but does anyone remember what they were called?

and i miss the wonder years. i dont think it really bombed, but i loved watching reruns on nick at nite.

Dead Like Me.

I used to watch ER also, but haven't since the season they killed Romano -- it just got boring and repetitive - and with the revolving cast it's no longer really the same show anyway.
I remember when Benton was watching over his sick mother, Ross saved a kid in a sewer, and Carter was basically a dramatic pre-cursor to JD from Scrubs.

And Dinosaurs -- I LOVED that - I still say "Uh oh, looks like we're gonna need another Timmy!"

That 70's Show

When Eric left, he took all the fun away. What a shame!

YankeesFan, the one with Fred Savage was probably The Wizard which also starred Jenny Lewis and Luke Edwards. See that movie was a big event because it was the first glimpse of Super Mario 3.

Grand was a really good sitcom, too.

"That's My Bush" got cancelled because of 9/11. Suddenly we weren't allowed to make fun of the prez. The same reason the Bud Lite "Real American Heroes" radio comercials were changed to "Real Men of Genius" - after all those cops and firemen died, you could no longer use the term "hero" lightly.

My list:
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
JOAN OR ARCADIA
ED
NORTHERN EXPOSURE

Huge Ed fan -- it's good to see that the cast continues to get work.

My favorite ten dollar bet was where Mike bet Ed that he wouldn't ask a guy in a grocery store where the lettuce was.

Ed: That's it?"
Mike: You have to pronounce it "let-TOOSE"
Ed (to grocery store guy): Excuse me, I'm looking for the let-TOOSE.
Clerk: The what?
Ed: You know, the let-TOOSE, like you put on a salad....
Clerk: You mean lettuce?
Ed: Yeah, you know, Let-TOOSE
Clerk: What kind of jackass calls it let-TOOSE??

It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on a TV show. I hope they put that out on DVD someday...

Ed stars keeping busy:

Mike Starr - "Kenny" on Ed - is now in ODD COUPLE on Broadway.

Just saw the guy who played Dr. Mike on Jenna Elfman's new show.

Michael ian Black on Sierra Mist commercials

Tom Cavanagh on Love Monkey

Julie Bowen on Boston Legal.

Justin Long in lots of bad teen movies...

and Gennifer Jackson in MONA LISA SMILE and WALK THE LINE!

Tom Cavanagh has occassional guest spots on Scrubs, too, as J.D.'s brother. The resemblence is actually pretty remarkable, and amusing.

My two favorite shows in the world- the aforementioned hospitcal comedy and Veronica Mars- are always teetering on the edge of cancellation. They're not quite bombs- the reviews prevent that- but ratings-wise they've never quite cut it.
