Title: Old Tv shows you used to love
Post by: Russ on Feb 06 07 08:45
What old TV shows did you used to love, or any old shows you remember?

  I was just browsing through the too many channels on this digital box and I see.. 'alien nation' I cant believe its on.

I am happy that the A-Team is back on though.. I was weaned on that along with Tom and Jerry, and GI Joe.

I liked the old cartoons:  Tom and Jerry, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers.  Hmm, lemme get back to this post.  I can't seem to think at the moment.

Macgyver
Little House on the Prairie
The Batman TV series
Seasame Street (before it got invaded by Elmo)
Where in the World is Carmen San Diego
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Doug (everyone freaking watched that show for some reason)

but there's this one mystery show that was always on in the 80's everyday on tv I've never been able to figure out what the show was.  It involved a bald guy and a girl with curly hair.  It was a cop show but it focused less on cops then on mysteries.  There was this one episode where people kept disappearing in a mansion.  Each room had a different colour.  Anyway they found that there was this secret passage way of something.  The last episode I remember was the lady was kidnapped in some apartment and the room was boobie trapped so if you opened the door the room would explode. The room exploded with her in it.  And then I didn't see the show on again.  It had to be a re-run show because it was always on after lunch.  Since I was 3 I really didn't pay attention to the title so I never knew what the show's name was.

Yeah! I'm totally talking about Lost in Space Classic!    :)

Musta come out in reruns.  I figured you too young to have caught it in it's original run. I remember that from when I was a kid.  It was double awesome, because we weren't allowed to watch TV nor have friends in the house when my parents weren't home.  We did both for Lost in Space.

I used to love Buck Rodgers and the Old school Battlestar Gallactica until I saw re-runs on the scifi channel recently.  I can't believe I watched that crap.

Buck Rodgers actually had Gary Colman as the president of some super genius race.  WTF???
Title: Re: Old Tv shows you used to love
Post by: tenkani on Feb 07 07 01:50
LOL!!
I remember that episode! And he knocked some dude out by having him put on some headphones and then he turned the volume up! ROFLLOLOLOLOL!!

I still get a kick out of galactica and buck rogers even now. In a different way of course    :)

I remember that one fondly.  Even as a child I was somewhat pervy.  When Wonder Woman would get changed behind something, I would look at the back of the TV in hopes of seeing something.  Damn she was pretty!

Well, as the topic is old shows you used to LOVE, I was a little surprized to see that on your list.

(or anyones's list) [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/musik/d080.gif" border=0]

I liked it until around 6 or so then I started to loathe it.  Always thought my hungarian grandpa could play the accordian better lol! Always tried to do the popping thing Welk would do with his thumb.  The theme song is forever though stuck in my brain.

Hey, don't be dissing China Beach, yo! It's a good show, I like Dana Delaney, thought she was brilliant as a nurse. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/1.gif)

China BEACH??
Ok, nevermind, I was thinking of um...that show about lifegaurds in um...China.

Title: Re: Old Tv shows you used to love

*sniff* S'ok, you're entitled to your furry opinions. I guess I liked it because it shows the 'female' side of the story. There's not a lot of war movies that concentrated on the women's side.
Title: Re: Old Tv shows you used to love
Post by: tenkani on Feb 08 07 03:36
I would have enjoyed China Beach more if it was written like MASH.
I mean, a comedy about a medical unit during the Vietnam War...that is so damn wrong that I would HAVE to watch it. But yeah, I know what you mean and Dana was pretty amazing. Where is she now??
 
Title: Re: Old Tv shows you used to love

I don't know but the last time I saw her was on Battlestar Gallatica as a suicidal woman on one of the fleets. Her performance was very good as I recall.
Title: Re: Old Tv shows you used to love
Post by: tenkani on Feb 08 07 03:43
Erm...suicidal woman?
I don't remember that and neither does IMDB HRM    :O
I keep thinking she's in that show about witches but I think I'm dead wrong.
 
Title: Re: Old Tv shows you used to love
Post by: Lise on Feb 08 07 03:48
Show about witches? Which one? I don't remember.

  Yes, she was in Battlestar. Hang on.... finding googling.... here it is.... as  [FONT color=#800080]Battlestar Galactica"[/FONT] .... Sesha Abinell or Shesha Abel (1 episode, 2006)
