And let’s not forget the show it was paired with, Cleopatra 2525. A stripper is cryogenically frozen after her boob job goes array and wakes up over 500 years letter to find killer robots have forced the remnants of humanity to live underground.
Ironically, Cavemen doesn’t count.
Best of the West, yet another stab at a crummy Western sitcom, 1981-1982.
And yet it was my favorite show at the time…Maybe it was because I was very young but Frog (the man) cracked me up. I will have to see if I can find an episode or two to rewatch.
Awry.
Would “Maverick” count as a comedy? Sort of. Certainly they would parody shows like “Gunsmoke” on some episodes.
Has anyone mentioned Other Space yet? It’s set in the future (not sure when exactly, but definitely not today) on a space ship.
I’m not sure how well known it is since it’s on Yahoo and not regular TV, cable, Netflix, or Amazon.
Joel and Trace from MST3K are in it as secondary characters, as is that girl from the AT&T store commercials. She’s a lot bustier than the AT&T uniform makes it seem, btw. The lead actor is also in some other AT&T commercial series, I believe, as some sort of tech guy or something.
In Canada, we had the show Blackfly, about 18th century fur traders.
The Jetsons would not have met the time criterion in the subject header anyway, as it was set in the 21st century.
Like most people I never saw the short-lived Western “Dirty Sally” in 1974. It is listed as a comedy-drama so it may be like “Here Comes the Brides” or “Maverick”. Not a full-fledged comedy like “F Troop” but had comedic elements.
I watched that. I liked the costumes. Amusing, but not really a sitcom.
“His name was Best… Best of the West!”
“Waalll, gee, Boss!”
Krod Mandoon and The Flaming Sword of Firewas a sitcom set in the Middle Ages broadcast on Comedy Central for one season in 2009. It had some potential, but never grew the beard, as they say.
Actually, I remember that show (but vaguely) It was a spinoff from all places, Gunsmoke. What I recall about it was, yeah, it wasn’t really a comedy. Sally was an old, ugly, funny talking woman who had a mule that she would talk to. The plots generally would be around her home-spun ways as she travel in and out of peoples lives. I don’t think it lasted a year. Maybe 13 episodes.
I think that was a UK show…
IMDb includes comedy as one of six possible genres for The Wild Wild West, so that’s my answer.
Well if so it was imported by Comedy Central and broadcast in the US which makes it a US show. Next you will be claiming that Lost Girl is Canadian and that The Avengers and Game of Thrones are British!
No, no, no, no. Screw iMDB. I actually watched The Wild Wild West every Friday night when I was 6, 7 years old. I got the Complete DVD set for Christmas a few years back and have been periodically re-watching the series. It was action, adventure, James Bondish type of gadgets and over the top villains. it was not a comedy.
Wait, so you’re calling Monty Python’s Flying Circus and Red Dwarf american shows because it was broadcast in the US? So that means you’re also calling The Simpsons a UK show because it was broadcast in England?
No.
Exactly.
