Exactly! I used to run around the house, singing that song, all the time as a kid.
Speaking of things I never want to watch, that movie is high on the list. ![]()
One of the serial shorts was Adventure Isle or something like that, wasn’t it? I remember really liking it when I was maybe 6. It was in syndication at that point, but still fairly new.
Thank you wiki, it was Danger Island and the young assistant was Jan Michael Vincent. Weird.
OK, it was also directed by Richard Donner. That is crazy.
I was about to post that, too, having just seen his name in the credits. Wow.
As for staying lost-Turn On- the shorted lived spin-off in TV history, canceled during its first episode.
Danger Island holds up fairly well, I think. The whole thing can be found on YouTube fairly easily.
Also, Kim Kahana, the actor an stuntman who played Chongo, is a legit badass.
Seeing this reminds me that I want to watch 8 Man, which was a similar era show that never got as big or as popular afaik, I once came across a cheap VHS with an episode or two in English, but it (the tape) looked so cheap I don’t think I picked it up. There was a sequel-ish anime movie called 8 Man After which is how I learned of the show at all.
Eta: there is apparently DVDs of similar poor quality floating around out of print leaving only two “greatest hits” DVDs with 5 episodes each (of the 65 known total). Which also sound of low quality. Wikipedia lists 9 Channel in Australia as a English broadcaster, though that could mean for the original run in the 1960s.
I would have liked for Profit to have finished its run. I think that 4 episodes were never aired during the show’s original run.
High-powered 90s businessman wheels-n-deals all day and sleeps in a cardboard box at night because he grew up homeless on the streets.
Johnny Jupiter, a live-action / puppet show about a man who invented an interplanetary videophone. There were two different versions on two different networks.
Harold Robbins’ The Survivors, because the young Diana Muldaur was so damn hawt in a miniskirt.
Crusade, the spin-off of Babylon 5 that was set up to fail because the network decided they wanted to rebrand for the hillbilly audience.

Marcus Welby - I’ve haven’t seen it since tbe orginal run. I watched it semi regularly. Homework and other activities limited my viewing.
Barnaby Jones - Buddy Ebsen shed his hillbilly image. Lee Meriwether
I only saw the original run when school and social activities allowed.
Hunter - I only saw it occasionally. I’m watching it now on Pluto tv.
Heil, Honey, I’m Home! British sitcom from 1990, parodying American sitcoms of the '50s a la I Love Lucy, with the twist that the protagonists are Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, and their nosey next-door-neighbors are a Jewish couple. Eight episodes were filmed - only one, a “the boss is coming over for dinner” type story with Neville Chamberlain as the boss, was aired before a massive backlash resulted in the series being cancelled and the other seven episodes being destroyed.
I’ve seen the one episode that exists, and I can only wish I’d been able to see the others.
You can catch Barnaby Jones on MeTV if you’re free at 3AM.
That’s why the original Beavis & Butthead episodes cannot show the music videos that were the highlights of the show.
I’ll watch the schedule. Maybe it will move to a better time. I don’t have any way of recording anymore. My vcr died. ![]()
I just have basic directv. They charge extra to record shows.
Not anymore. MTV got clearance for all the music video rights and they’ll be part of all the remastered episodes that will stream on Paramount +.

More likely Glen Campbell.
Night Heat was a good show. Filmed in Vancouver, I think. I also liked its late-night counterpart Leg Work, because I love Margaret Colin. She’s a dead ringer for an old girlfriend of mine. ![]()
I got to watch both series with Czech overdubbing. Helped improve my language skills, comprehension-wise.
I don’t think anybody’s mentioned Pushing Daisies yet. It was the first show I watched when I came to Canada in 2006, and it was a welcome breath of fresh air!
The second one I watched in Canada was The Rockford Files, and I haven’t seen it since. It was a staple of my TV schedule when I was in college.
