I thought I was the only person who loved this show (not to mention most people havn't even heard of it). I own the DVD set as well. AWESOME show, should not have been cancelled.

Another great show on DVD

For those who liked Greg the Bunny as much as I did, there is a remade series on the American version of the Independent Film Channel. Some of the episodes are funny, like the one where Gerg and Warren are in prison, and Greg doesn't think there's anything wrong with going to Bubba's cell for a sleepover. But most of them are just plain sad.

I was trying to record them, but the timing on that channel is just wierd so eventually I just gave up.

I dont think anybody mentioned Seinfeld cuz you can still watch 3 hours of Seinfeld a day if you want to. I'll admit though, I'd love to see some new episodes. I can't believe that show is over 15 years old.

I didn't get into "The Tick" until I saw the episode where he was talking to the gurgling toilet. That made me howl. Unfortunately, I think that was just before they cancelled it.

Ken was dead on about Fox, they get a show started then they move it, then it gets bumped for some reason, then they start showing special episodes at different times to make up for the missed ones ("at a special time"), and even the people who do like the show don't know when it normally comes on. So, a good show gets cancelled.

A show that wasn't given a good chance was Boomtown. It started off on Sunday Nights after L&O:CI. In season 2 it was moved to Friday nights and died. They changed the format from Season 1 to Season 2, and this change made it lose its appeal. Fortunately I have season 1 on DVD.

Another show from years ago that was never given a chance was Starman the series, based on the movie (which is also very good). Lasted a year and a half I think but was really quite good. Never found its audience.

Man I wanted to bone that blonde girl from Charles in Charge. Nicole Eggert, not sure how she is looking today, but I had a serious crush on her back in the day. I was forced to watch that stupid show just to see her.

I like Jennifer Runyon. Whoa.

I would say Nicole Eggert is still looking healthy:

Just an FYI- these are all still on using the various Dejavu- TVland options.

I can't believe somebody else remembers Parker Lewis Can't Lose. That show was awesome. (If anybody hasn't seen it the best I can describe is a cross between Ferris Bueller and "Saved by the Bell.")

Is it just me or does any one else think Saved by the Bell is overrated?

Parker Lewis came out at the same time the TV version of Ferris Bueller's debut. Ferris had an unknown Sister by the name Jennifer Anniston, but Parker Lewis was definitely the better show. Another good show was Unsolved Mysteries with the creepy voiced Robert Stack narrating.
