"Fastlane" was kinda cool, only because it had cars in it... :D

[horse-fly]

Clerks, the cartoon.

That was a good one.

[nomadsworld]

I may be showing my age but what about:
Misfits of Science (kind of a 'b' series show)
Remo Williams (I got to see the first episode)
Captain America (Wish I could find out what happened to it, but I do remember the series)
Oh, and of course MacGyver

[Semantics]

Clone High
Sifl and Olly

The only good shows MTV has ever had...and they blew them out. Bastards

:rolleyes:

I felt retarded after watching each episode...

[Semantics]

Stupid? Yes...but in a good way. You can't beat sockpuppets on TV, or whatever the hell Chester was

[drewbar]

Action
That Jay Mohr show about Hollywood, kind of a darker comedy. Too much for network TV, including Fox. It probably would have flourished on cable.


Defiantly "Clerks: The Animated Series." At least the movie, "Clerks: Sellout" is on the way.

MacGyver rocked :(

Here's another one: Cupid (http://www.tvtome.com/Cupid/)

It was a hit with critics, but, had crappy timing. I loved that show.

[Bilbo Baggins]

In a way, I am kind of glad that Futurama got cancelled when it did, because it was on the heights, and I never wanted to see it degenerate the way the Simpsons has.

[Raz]

Very recent simpsons actually showed it getting better again. Taking on recent issues and more funny lines and plots. Looks interesting at least.

[xzxzzx]

I'd rather have shitty Futurama episodes than most of the rest of crap that's on TV.

Stupid funny, but just the way I like it... :)

[horse-fly]

Quickly, in here. Who's driving? Oh my god! Bear is driving! How can that be?

[CaptainNuss]

Ally McBeal (loved it) and Picket Fences (loved that one as well).

[CaboWaboAddict]

M*A*S*H

None better before or since!

[xzxzzx]

I just finished watching the last episode of Freaks & Geeks. God damn that was a good series. Seeing that show last only a single season makes me cry for the future of television.

[OOOisMe]

T.h.e.m.

totally hidden excellent magicians, only 1 episode ? (NBC) :(

MTV has been full of shit ever since the very first episode of The Real World. Real, my ass!!

MTV2 is only worth it cuz of HBB.

VH1...good shows, but they oughta rename the channel.

VH1 Classic and Fuse...they got it right. In fact, I think Fuse should have HBB.

[Coman]

whatever happened to home movies?

[drewbar]

It's on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. I think they even ordered and showed new episodes too.

[Coman]

hmm.. apparently they do. once a week on sundays at 1:30am, that sucks.

[JRSellers]

If I'd known Sci-Fi was doing a Knight Rider daily-thon today, I woulda watched it, but I caught it to late. Damn! :(

[fwgx]

Red Dwarf. But then it did have 8 series.

[JRSellers]

Just remembered one I forgot to list in my original post: TV Nation.


Incidentally, I think August 23 is unofficially TV Nation day.

[OutlawJim]

Sheep In The Big City was one of the best cartoons ever. did it get cancelled or did it just end tho. they never show it, so im going with cancelled

[JRSellers]

Never heard of it.

I read about TV Nation in Michael Moore's books, but, living in Germany, I've never actually seen it. What's the concept of the show, what's happening in it?

Not anymore. It's over, sadly. The last episode was back in May.

[Myxomatosis]

Undergrads was pretty cool.

[Xeaq]

Always liked Drew Carey
Adult Swim also has Futurama and Family Guy.
FX just started showing King of the Hill (best god damn show of all time, though still on)

Peggy: "Bobby went to the Haleluah (sp) House with Luan."

Hank: "Mmmmmm.... Peggy, you almost made me spit out my beer!"

Not sure if it's on anymore because I don't watch Nick, but
Are You Afraid Of The Dark

[Janus Lunar]

Xeag - you just earned some points with me. Sadly Are You Afraid of the Dark? is no longer aired... a sad thing.

Farscape
Crusade
Knight Rider
Ren & Stimpy
Babylon 5 (Wasn't exactly cancelled but still)

I could go on for days.........

[CaptainNuss]

No, Babylon 5 wasn't cancelled. But that reminds me that I have still to order the 5th season on DVD.

Knight Rider was one of the shows I loved in my youth.

[Xeaq]

Janus: I'm glad I'm earning points with somebody here.
:D

That reminds me, bringing back some of Nick's shows from the 1980's would really be nice...You Can't Do That On Television, The Third Eye, Dangermouse, etc. :D

[Xeaq]

And Rugrats.

All growed up sucks...

:D

[MegaRock]

Fawlty Towers and Monty Python were great in their day

[JRSellers]

Yeah, my favorite MP bit was the Ministry Of Silly Walks.

[Logy]

The all series not all cancelled but have also ended... like Macgyver... is ended, Ally MacBeal... Baywatch, Friends, Frasier, and many more... but it nice if Knight Rider 2000 have a tv series it movies look fantastic, with the new red sophitiscated car...

By the way, it true Angel of America looks so angel to watch...
