I remember that one! Yes, it was cool.
I see it was a 1914 Stutz Bearcat. and the series title was Bearcats! with an exclamation mark.
Only 13 episodes; if you get a chance to see the made-for-TV pilot movie, it’s well worth a look–“Powderkeg!” (also with an exclamation point!).
One-hundredth anniversary of the car from the show; whatta ya say, Hollywood? Time for a commemorative DVD package? Shouldn’t be too expensive.
Sounds like we should start a thread on obcure-but-cool TV series. Remember The Second Hundred Years? With Monte Markham. A child’s father (Markahm) disappears while gold prospecting in Alaska in 1900. The child grows into an old man, at which time his father is found frozen, then thawed out and brought back to life. So the father is still a young man, and his son is elderly. Ran two seasons.
And the grandson looked exactly like his grandpa. IIRC, Arthur McConnell played the son/dad.

Was that the episode with the vintage biplane? :o
If you have not yet seen Breaking Bad, you may enjoy that. It has many similarities to The Sopranos. I hope you will enjoy that.
Thanks, but saw it.
The biplane (from 1929, oops! Off by 15 years) was in episode #12.
There IS a DVD compilation 
put out last year. Outta my way!
Correction: Arthur **O’**Connell. :smack:
Two obscure comedies that were actually quite good: McKeever and the Colonel and I’m Dickens, He’s Fenster.
I miss Beavis & Butthead.
Heh. Heh heh heh.
Numb3rs
CNN Headline news. I know I can get the same thing online, but it was nice to be able to sit down any time of day and get a full half-hour news summary. YMMV.
Gardening with Stan, with Stan Westaway, a half-hour locally produced (had to be, it was so bad) Sunday show on CBC TV a million years ago. Boring, boring, boring.
I remember it because one year the CBC pre-empted it for the Grey Cup game, so I phoned the CBC and complained.
"But . . . but (splutter splutter) it’s the Grey Cup!"
“I don’t care! I want to know more about my tulip bulbs!”
It had a fairly good run but I would have liked to have seen more Grounded For Life, and not only because of Megyn Price. 
Put me down for **My Name is Earl **as well. I was quite irritated when that whole thing went down.
Batman
I’d really like to see Futurama picked up again. Great series, very funny and with a different dynamic to The Simpsons.
Also, Duckman. One of the pioneers in “animation for grown-ups” and very funny as well.
For the Johnny Quest fans, I suggest you check out The Venture Bros, which started off as a pastiche of the Hardy Boys/Johnny Quest “Boy Adventurer” genre and only got more awesome from there. A character who is very clearly intended to be Johnny Quest as a messed-up adult is also one of the characters in the show, too.
Page 3, and no love for
FREAKS & GEEKS!!!
We only got one season, and it ended with Lindsay running off with some Dead Heads in a VW to follow the Grateful Dead for a summer…talk about a cliffhanger.
The show was hilarious and very well written. It deserved tons more credit than it received.
Defintiely miss The Sopranos, it didn’t tie up in a nice bow like Breaking Bad, but I miss that series as well.
There was a show called “My Boys” that I enjoyed. I liked it because it didn’t have the annoying canned-laughter laugh track.
