HOW was that show popular??
 

I love the tv threads that take on a life of their own. :wavey:

I was all ready to watch my nightly 25+ yr old rerun of "Charlie's Angels" tonight when SUDDENLY my new nightly viewing habit has been exchanged for reruns of "Growing Pains"!! WTF!! :shrug:

Growing Pains?? WHY was that show so popular and on as long as it was?
Was it like part of the "Diff'rent Strokes", "Facts of Life" trilogy or something?? :confused:

And WHY does everybody know who was on Saved By The Bell? :woohoo:

i miss the days of yore when growing pains was in reruns on the disney channel. :laugh:

LOL! I noticed that too when I was flipping channels tonight. I haven't seem Growing Pains in awhile. I didn't watch it tonight either. Did they give you any warning at least that they were changing from Charlie's Angels to Growing Pains?

I LOVED Growing Pains :laugh:

How was it different? It wasn't lol...

I was watching reruns of Full House at the gym this morning (someone else put it on) and wondered the same thing, "how the hell was this show popular!?!" I used to watch it, now I can't figure out why - it's SO bad :laugh:

Not that I caught.... which doesn't really say much...
But can you IMAGINE my culture shock? ;)

Full House? Holy cow... that is the mystery of the tv universe!
I never got Home Improvement either.... Tim Allen is SO irritating. :shrug:

I used to watch Home Improvement :o I don't mind that one...

These have also always boggled my mind - even a kid I didn't like them...

Family Matters

and

Martin

heh heh. i loved family matters when i was really little. i loved anything that was on tgif. i've always hated martin, tho ... ugh!

God I LOVED TGIF...except for Family Matters...others that I loved then but find endlessly cheesy and/or bad now:

Just the Ten of Us
Mr. Belvedere
Perfect Strangers

Growing Pains and Full House have already been mentioned :p

Don't worry... the i Network is just doing a two-week "teaser preview" of 'Growing Pains,' which will become a regular part of their daily lineup sometime in early 2007.

'Charlie's Angels' will be back in its regular timeslot on December 4th.
In the meantime, there's a 5-hour 'Angels' marathon this Friday, November 24th, from 6pm (EST) to 11pm. :nod:

I HEAR YA, I MISS CHARLIE'S ANGELS TOO, I NOTICED IT WASN'T ON & WAS PISSED, MY SON & I WATCHED IT EVERY NITE~

How IS The World According to Jim popular???

oh christ, that show is awful. it's not even enjoyably cheesy, it's just freaking dumb!

How the HELL was Becker a HIT???

my grandfather loved that show ... i think it was popular in that age bracket. it was way lame, tho.

NO JOKE!! :shrug:
Nothing like turning on the tv to hear some body piss and moan about everything....
I can turn on the news and see that. :nod:

And if anyone figures out HOW and WHY Jim Belushi has a "hit" show, please share with the rest of us.
And if anyone can figure out the appeal of Charlie Sheen.... ewwww.... :eek:
