TV Shows lost in the mists of time

I tried watching this on DVD a few years ago and couldn’t get into it.

I loved both of these, too.

The sister was hot, but I mainly remember Boston Common for introducing cutie Traylor Howard (as the girl Anthony Clark had a huge crush on), who later starred as Natalie in Monk.

Ooh, yeah, I liked this show–Tea was really hot.

My own contribution:
We Got It Maid - an 80s sitcom about two guys living in New York who hire a really hot ditzy blonde woman (Teri Copley–Google her) to be their live-in maid, much to the chagrin of their girlfriends.

I admit that I am shallow and mostly remember shows for the hot actresses in them. :slight_smile:

Dinosaurs is likely the only TV show that ended with the protagonists awaiting their own global extinction event. :eek:

My contribution to this thread is a hazy memory of a mid-1970’s live-action show that appeared on Saturday mornings featuring a team of scientists/explorers/something who tooled around a post-apocalyptic Earth in their black and white RV, er, exploration vehicle. I never learned what the name of the show was and only caught it a couple of times (it was on at an inopportune TV watching time for me as kids were expected to get the hell out of the house mid Saturday morning.)

Any ideas on what this show may be?

Ark II?

6 minutes… what kept ya? :wink:

Yep, that’s it. Appreciate the heads-up!

How about “Duck Soup” with a young Jim Carrey? I suppose that one’s not lost, I just never heard of it until is was syndicated for a while after Jim got famous.

Well, it took me awhile to type “1970s saturday morning rv” into Google and wait for it to respond. :smiley:

Glad to help! I’d forgotten about that show. I don’t think I ever saw it but I remember seeing ads for it in comic books.

I think you mean The Duck Factory.

And Eddie McClintock, currently of Warehouse 13. This show show have lasted longer, but at least episodes are readily available on You Tube.

“Apple Pie”, a 1978 comedy series set in depression era Kansas, starring Rue McClahahan and Dabney Coleman.

For that matter, “Apple’s Way”, 1974 family sit-com starring Ronnie Cox.

Robert Goulet. I knew that without looking it up.

He had amnesia, I think.

It was Frank Converse, a hot blond truck-driver type. Maybe you have amnesia, too!

Anyone remember Calucci’s Department, a sitcom with James Coco and Candy Azzaria? Or the *yummy *Monte Markham in The Second Hundred Years?

You shoulda looked it up.

The lead in Coronet Blue was Frank Converse. Robert Goulet was in a World War II series called Blue Light about a year earlier. You must be confusing the two Blues.

On preview: rats, semi-ninjaed by Eve.

D’oh! Dammit!!

Nothing worse than being a smarty-pants…and being wrong.

Yeah, the last episode went very dark indeed.

Anyone remember The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show? I used to love that on Saturday mornings.

Very funny. :wink:

Well, he *was *perfectly cast! The perfect porn-movie truck driver. “Mah rig’s done broke down, ma’am . . .”

The second hundred years.

My mother the car.

I vaguely remember a “In Living Color” ripoff called “House of Buggin” that was really funny (or at least I thought it was).

Also…there was a Disney cartoon (it might have been part of the Disney afternoon block at some point) about an ineffectual cop (maybe he was a security guard? I don’t remember) with a leopard-thing with an excessively long tail for a partner.

Loved this show! It also starred Corey Feldman (in one of his sober periods) and Stephen Tobolowsky, seemingly doomed forever to play, well, a dweeb.

I still remember a great line, from when Scolari’s character is grousing about how rough he had it in high school: “If I had a million dollars for every wedgie I got… oh, wait…I do.:smiley:

It started on CBS, then went to Showtime where it really hit its stride. I love the episode where Hart and Kingsfield are snowed in Hart’s apartment and have dinner together. It’s just so charming. And then, next morning, Kingsfield looks out over the snow-covered fields and declares: “No school today!”

That blinking light on his chest … I swear I still hear it sometimes!

I loved Fantastic Journey. It started out rather weird: a two-hour movie, then the next week a ninety-minute episode, where two-thirds of the original cast get replaced (“they made it back home” supposedly) and a couple episodes later we get Roddy McDowell. Still, good show.

Gemini Man was basically The Invisible Man done Six Million Dollar Man-style. In fact, one script from GM was re-done almost verbatim on The Bionic Woman (Sam/Jaime is replaced by a double.)

Just saw the first episode of “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters” on Netflix. Oh dear Og. Could I have watched this, even as a kid?

I remember the oldest sister, or rather the actress who played her, being rather cute. Then she developed massive drug problems and later married Willie Aames of Eight Is Enough, who had his own massive drug problems.
