Twin Peaks
A-Team
CHiPS
X-Files
MacGyver

You know I always thought it would be great if MacGyver joined forces with the A-Team.  Something like A-Team: The Next Generation!


After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Not enamored with all too many shows...and quite a few of the ones I like are still on (House, Entourage), so just two quickies here...

...Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (yeah, I'm a sucker for it)...
...All in the Family...

Atta way, dark lord!  In retrospect...maybe we don't need it in prime time -- the nick at nite marathons have been quite fulfilling -- and I already boggle the minds of friends and family by managing to watch the same episodes time and time again.

I've spent far too many weekend nights enjoying the 9p-330a runs on nick at nite...until I finally realized that it's the same six episodes from 9-12 and 12-3, and that the seventh episode doesn't come until 3 am.

I don't know if I'm more of a nerd for watching six hours of Fresh Prince on weekend nights (at one point in my life, anyway) or a dope for taking as long as I did to become cognizant of the episode scheduling realities of the situation.

Gotta love Geoffrey.

When it comes to nick at night, I was a fiend for "Head of the Class." Is it still on, one of my all time favorite shows.

Not to my knowledge...but they bring stuff back and change up the line-up all the time...sadly, the likes of George Lopez and Home Improvement (growing on me, but I don't need it taking up FP airtime) seem to be infiltrating the air waves, rather unnecessarily in my humble view...don't need any Full House either...

-The State - "Great Taco's today Jake."

-Get a Life -(this might wind up being a case where I'd see the show now and realize that my sensibilities have changed drastically since when I was 12, but I recall laughing) Anyone remember the one where Brian Doyle Murray ate Chris Elliott's pet alien and then the thing put itself back together in the fridge?

- The X- Files - I preferred the ones that wrapped up in one episode and weren't part of the ongoing plot with his missing sister or the Cig. smoking man. I don't think that there really was a plot, and that's just frustrating.

-The Baseball bunch. - I was like, 5 the last time I saw that show. It had Johnny Bench and the San Diego Chicken running around. I didn't really understand what was happening but I know that I liked it.

I can only think of four right now.

You know what would be an awesome channel would be the "All-specials channel" where they could show all those one off shows that got showed once and never again.

Like Charlie Brown Halloween and Punky Brewster wants to be an astronaught, and the Ewoks fight the Empire on Love Day and Saturday Nite Live 15th anniversary and whatnot

fun question.

Assuming these shows are being brought back with the same quality of writing and acting that made them great
