Do you mean Definition? That game show theme song was ressurected by the Austin Powers movies.

It was a fine series. But that one hour long episode with Kevin Costner as the Captain of a bomber had such a ridiculous ending that it pretty much ruined all my good memories of the show.

Was that the one where the gunner drew cartoon wheels on the plane or am I thinking of something else.
Of more recent shows that needed more episodes, Chappelle Show and Kitchen Confidential ( Stupid people at fox, they just dont get it)

Rating that show anything but crappy is overrating it as far as I'm concerned. I've never understood the fascination with that one.

That's the one. Makes me angry to just think about it. I think it could be the worst ending ever in TV or movie history.

Did anyone ever see Garth Merenghi's Dark Place, circa the mid 1980s? I'm not sure if it was ever on in North America, but apparently it may be put back on TV.
I've just seen tapes of it from a British friend of mine. It is pretty funny.
Has anyone mentioned Star Trek: TNG yet? Probably my all time favourite TV show.

I've tried searching for it on the web, but I can't find anything on it. I've emailed the Game Show Network, but they never replied.

I am also a huge fan of Third Watch. Everytime I go into a place that sells DVD's I'm constantly looking to see if they have finally been released. But much to my dismay I always come up empty handed. It was my, never miss any episode show. Basically my old favorites are along the lines of everyone else, Fraggle Rock, Wonder Years, Fresh Prince, and who could forget Degrassi (the old school ones, not the ones on tv now).

The only show I haven't seen listed here that I really enjoyed was My So-Called Life... shows like this, Undeclared, and Freaks and Geeks never seem to find a big enough audience.

Overrated? Wouldn't there have to be people out there who thought this show was good in the first place?

If you are willing to spend some cash, you can buy the Third Watch box set here:

A little pricey, but well worth it if you are a huge fan of the show. My sets of the shield and sopranos that I purchase get lots of use and I can totally justify spending the amount I have spent on 4 seasons of the Shield and 5 of the sopranos.

The show was never good in the proper sense. But it was good if you got past the bad acting, weak and cliche storylines. I dont know, you either like it or you don't.
