Nope! I’ve seen it many times! Duckman rules!!!
I remeber both of them but I only ever watched Big Blue Marble. Good show, for the time. It would be interesting to see an episode now. And I too am haunted by the Villa Allegre song.
When it was on I was the only person I knew who watched Crime Story but I have since met some other fans (some on this board).
Well, apparently, I’m not the only person who ever watched Quark. When it aired, I didn’t actually know what sex was, aside from the fact that it was how babies were made, so the Ficus pollenating with the Hot Chick bit was kind of lost on me. In retrospect, the scene was hilarious.
Anybody else remember Holmes and Yo-Yo
Over and over again I tell you, Tooter:
Be just vat you iss
Not vat you iss not.
Folks vat do zis
Has der happiest lot.
Yeah, I remember Tooter the Turtle and Mr. Wizard the Lizard. Used to run with other Jay Ward cartoons like Underdog, Tennessee Tuxedo, and Go Go Gophers.
Brooklyn Bridge: Kinda like The Wonder Years only it involved a Jewish family in, uh, some burough of New York. And it was in the 1950’s.
It’s Like, You Know: ABC said it was the next Seinfeld (I think one of the Seinfeld producers was involved in some way). It had a weird, quirky vibe to it. It lasted about half a season.
Arrested Development: Unless I’ve been whooshed, it’s been cancelled. A comedy on Fox with few laughs but with a weird faux documentary feel and soap-opera-like story arcs.
I’ll see your Big Blue Marble (or I saw it anyway) and I’ll raise you Powerhouse and a sign language show that I would swear was called Studio See but IMDB doesn’t seem to have heard about.
Also Grapevine. Not the remake (which just sucked) but the original, 6 episode series in 1992, which is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on TV.
I have fond memories of that little series from my childhood. Practically as a ritual, I would have a cup of Betty Crocker Mug-O-Lunch macaroni and cheese along with it.
Which has also since been discontinued. :mad:
Except for the pilot episode, which was a parody of Star Wars. (“Use the Source!”)
Anyone remember The Great Space Coaster? It was on our local UHF station at about 7:30 AM. My brother and I used to catch it before we headed off to school.
Apparently it was some kind of educational show, with comedy bits and a feel-good-about-yourself message thrown in. Two astronauts (a man and a woman) rode around in a little flying saucer. I also remember a Muppet-like gnu delivering a faux new broadcast each day. “Gary Gnu’s News!”
Look for Newsradio reruns on BIO starting on 3/1. Or at leat that’s what TiVo tells me.
There was an educational kids’ show I used to watch on Sunday mornings in the 1960s, “Discovery 67.” The show was on for at least a couple of years and the number in the title changed to correspond to the year.
Later in the 70s, there was another show, whose name escapes me, but the host would link one thing after another, starting from and (I think) returning to the main topic at the end of the show. This was done at a rather rapid pace. I think he may have played a guitar as he narrated the show. Just tried to see if I could find it at Yesterdayland.com and looks like that site doesn’t exist anymore.
There was an afternoon kids’ program from Baltimore, hosted by Bob McAllister, where he often played a superhero character named Mike Fury. McAllister later went on to be the second host of another Sunday program, “Wonderama.”
Also watched Diver Dan, about a deep sea diver who walked around and talked to marionette fish.
This is gonna date me. A clone of “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” called “Turn On”. Only one episode aired, and this was before the days of VCRs, so the chances that anyone else saw it are very small. Because it really sucked. My only excuse is … I was very young, young enough to think something starring Tim Conway might be funny. And that’s very, very young.
(Always coming up with more after I post.)
Just remembered “It’s About Time,” about astronauts who went back in time and lived among cavemen.
And while looking for the name of the show I mentioned above, I was reminded of The Good Guys, with Bob Denver.
Ok here are mine…
Tales of the Gold Monkey loved the show, with Stephen Collins
Duets I believe Ellen Degeneres started on that show.
and I think I was the only person who watched The New Monkees
That was my favorite show when I was 10. I used to get to stay up 30 minutes later the night it was on. 
I don’t know anyone who watched The Charmings or So Weird, and most seemed to have missed Herman’s Head too.
I remember It’s About Time!
It’s about time!
It’s about space,
About two men in the strangest place!
I loved it when a kid. In the second season the astronauts got back to our time, bringing with them the cave family they’d been friends with.
The word ‘weird’ above reminds me of ‘Weird Science’ (the tv show, not the film). But I guess that’s not that unknown.
I doubt it. I don’t think that any of the affiliates we were picking up in our neck of the woods (Southeast MO) had the cash to produce cel animation, even if they farmed it out to the cheapest pack of slaves in Korea. Who is driving? Bear is driving! How can this be?
NewsRadio: Big fan. A&E was playing it in the daytime (at least in Summer 2002). I occaisonally do the “Cigarette?” gag. Pull out the pack, say “Cigarette”, and when your mark accepts or declines, say “I was talking to the cigarette. Cigarette, prepare to pleasure me!”
Duckman: Again, big fan.
Empty Nest: Watched it all the time. My paternal grandmother insisted on it when it was on. I vaguely remember spin-offs regarding it, but I’m not sure if it spawned a spin-off or was one itself.
Man. That opened up the gate.
NBC: Dear John; Nurses.
CBS: Doctor Doctor
FOX: The Edge (sketch comedy featuring some of Bill Plympton’s animation)
Sitting Ducks!!!
Anybody ever seen it? It’s about modern urban ducks living in Duck Town, and not far away there is a city full of alligators, with their own Duck BBQs, fast food joints, etc… Then an unusually soft hearted alligator visiting Duck Town on a feeding raid somehow encounters one of the ducks (Bill) on a personal level and makes friends with him. It’s a “kid’s show” with a lot of plays on culture, race, anthropology, psychology, etc., plus it’s full of hilarious slapstick.
Quack!
I remember both those two shows.
BUT: Arrested Development is not canceled, yet. It’s had new eps the last four weeks, minus this last Sunday due to the SatC finale. It’s the best show on TV, and it’s getting alright ratings. Still 9 episodes in the pipeline, no news on renewal.
WATCH IT!
