“Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me.”
Nope, I don’t remember it at all. 
I remember almost all of the shows mentioned so far. But I don’t think about most of them nowadays.
I remembered it for awhile, but then I met another and PFFFT I was gone
I have a friend who watches it (well, reruns) on Sunday nights. RFD HD is all I know, don’t know what kind of cable thing she has.
Big Brother is still on? I read your post and had to check the date, expecting to find this was a zombie thread.
Isn’t it weird that there was never a Gunsmoke movie? Even in the late 80’s early 90’s when many old TV shows were getting a movie, Gunsmoke, FRIGGING GUNSMOKE!, wasn’t made into a movie.
Not a movie theater movie, but there were 5 or 6 TV movies made, all after the series was ended.
By then Doc was dead and everyone else was in their 70’s. It’s just as well we didn’t see Matt and Kitty being wheeled around the Old Folks Home.
They could have done it with a new cast, say, George Clooney as Matt, Brad Pitt as Chester or Festus, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Kitty, and Morgan Freeman as Doc (with Burt Reynolds in a cameo as Dodge City’s resident drunken old coot).
Amanda Blake, IIRC, died from AIDS (!) back in the '80s. :eek:
Forgive me if this show has already been brought up, but is the show named Meet The Press still on? 
God bless you always!!!

P.S. I remember hearing on the radio about the long life that show has had. I just don’t remember how long its been around. Sorry!
I had to go look up that cute little show, you know the one, with the couple that lives in New York and in the end they had a baby. Named her something weird. Mad About You.
And Moonlighting? Used to really like that one.
Surprised to see some of the proposals here. I’ve probably only seen five episodes or so, but I was under the impression that *Gunsmoke *was as classic as they come.
*Hunter *is probably the winner, but I’m surprised that no one has mentioned Boy Meets World. It’s got a strong TvTropes page, but I’ve never heard it so much as mentioned since its debut episode. I was surprised to see it lasted seven years. Then again, I basically skipped pop culture through most of the '90s, so maybe it’s just me.
How about Reba? A fairly innocuous comedy with a decent ensemble cast? Ran 6 seasons? In syndication on some country-music TV channel? Bueller? Bueller?
Mad About You was a pretty big hit when it first aired (it reached #11 in the 1994-95 season), but I never hear much talk of it nowadays. It took 8 years to get the first 5 seasons released on DVD, and the last one so far was in 2010.
Evening Shade was another sizeable hit during its four years (1990-94) and critically well-regarded, but it’s utterly vanished since then. The run may have been a bit short for syndication, and only the first season has emerged on DVD.
Life Goes On. Not a blockbuster ratings success, but it ran 4 years and preceded America’s Funniest Home Videos in the early 90s, which was very popular in its first seasons. (Yeah, I guess that’s another “Wait, that’s still on?” kind of show.)
**Too Close for Comfort **aired on ABC and syndication from 1980 until '86 or '87. Never have seen it reruns much. Same for Charles in Charge, another network-to-syndication sitcom of the 80s.
(Edit: Lightlystarched beat me to mentioning Mad About You.)
To me, Reba’s first show didn’t fly long enough. 
God bless you and her always!!!

No one mentioned Boy Meets World because a whole new generation became obsessed with it on the Disney Channel. So obsessed that Disney is making a sequel series about Cory and Topanga’s 12-year old daughter (I love that their math is still broken).
So Growing Pains has been alluded to but not actually named so far; even at the time, I remember it being the other other family sitcom - not the Cosby Show, and not the other sitcom which had Alex P. Keaton on it, but that other other one. Mainly notable now because of Kirk Cameron jokes.
I typed “Reba” into the search of my cable box and it came up with listings for CMT (once upon a time Country Music Television) and ABC Family. So it does have some audience, I assume. Just not me. Although I did watch one episode when it was knew and remembered at one point the single mom daughter saying she’d like to get married and Reba sarcastically says “Sure will be easy with that man catching one year old baby you have”.
An aside on Reba McIntire, that I’ll throw in. I was at the Montreal Formula 1 race and for one of the support races, she was one of the presenters giving out trophies. I said “WTF is she doing there..she is not Canadian like Shania Twain or Celine Dion”. It turns out her son Shelby Blackstock was one of the drivers.
True. Stargate SG-1 was awesome. Around 2005 or so the Scify network would run like 4 episodes every Monday night and me and my GF would always watch those. It was my first exposure to it and the depth and the history of the plot lines really sucked me in and blew me away.
I’m pretty sure it’s the only TV show that’s impossible for it’s network to cancel, no matter how much they want to.
