There are many shows I wish would show in syndication, at least in my cable area (maybe you get them!). My top three: 1. St. Elsewhere 2. ThirtySomething 3. WKRP in Cincinnati How about you? What shows would you like to see again? ---

There were three “Steven Spielberg Presents” Warner Borthers Cartoon Shows of the 90s: Tiny Toons Animaniacs Histeria! Animaniacs is by far the popular fan favorite- and I do love me some Animaniacs. However, my absolute FAVORITE was Histeria! Sadly, Histeria! has fallen into obscurity. No reruns. No DVD. ---

The Larry Sanders Show is the only one to come to mind right now. I’m sure I could think of more. ---

Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles It bugs me that Fox didn’t build a fan base by repeating this show. Most of season 2 only aired once. Then they act surprised with low ratings. TSCC would benefit by airing perhaps 3 evenings a week on FX. That would make it easier to follow the complicated storyline. ---

If Wikipedia can be trusted in this instance, [the sixties “Batman” series](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(TV_series)) hasn’t been released on home video in any format! I loved this when I saw it in reruns in the late 80s, but didn’t have a VCR at the time. ---

Thirding The Carol Burnett Show The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. - wiki says it’s available on the AOL site In2TV, but it’s not. It is out on DVD, but I don’t know if I would want to own it as much as I would just want to watch the series a time or two. ---
