Golden Girls rule...I watch it sometimes and it still cracks me up.

CBS said they cancelled it because it was too dark and didn't fit in their line-up.

First they kill off Picket Fences and replace it with American Gothic, only to kill that one a year later. And now they're airing Dr. Vegas in that time slot.

American Gothic SO needs to be put on DVD, all 22 episodes. There were actually four episodes that never aired, much to my surprise, and they were aired on Sci-Fi Channel a couple of years ago. My, I loved that show. Every actor was greatness on it; Sarah Paulson, Paige Turco, Gary Cole, Lucas Black, and especially Jake Weber. I want the freakin' DVD so badly, my tapes are literally worn out.

I still do and will always love Little House on the Prairie...

Seriously. I have seasons 1-6 on DVD and am not-so-patiently awaiting seasons 7-9....I LOVE that show so much - even more now that my favorite episode have made it to DVD (the ones where Laura meets and falls in love with Almanzo

)

Anyway others I still love:

-I Love Lucy
-The Golden Girls - I agree, diss about some of the dated references but damned if that show isn't still one of the funniest ever....
-The Cosby Show
-My So Called Life

don't like so much anymore:

-Three's Company -I agree with Amber - not as great as I found it at 8

-Roseanne - got a bit tired of it...

Wow, I love South Park, but i think Simpsons is pretty fresh, comparatively

And since they can't do things that are as gross, the writing has extra good jokes in it. But anyway.
I would say, the Simpsons invented South Park!

See, I thought Roseanne was one of the most realistic shows ever made (up until it got stupid with them winning the lottery). It's just so real and funny at the same time. I loved it then and I still love it now! My favorite one was when Becky farted in class.

Yep, they need to put American Gothic and Wings on DVD....stupid a$$es.

American Gothic was awesome. A friend of mine has a great Lucas Black imitation and knows that whenever he says "Someone's at the door" that I get all creeped out. Did anyone see Friday Night Lights? Lucas Black is all grown up, it's very weird.

I want it on DVD!!

If I just wanted to watch something that was "funny," I'd watch Everybody Loves Raymond or something awful like that. The Simpsons was always more than a comedy to me, and to a lot of people. I'm just really dissatisfied with the way it's been the last four or five years. It just feels like a lot of cheap laughs. As for Gilmore Girls- it makes me laugh more than pretty much any other show on TV, aside from maybe Scrubs. I always figured it was awful- a show about a mom and daughter on the WB who talk like Dawson's Creek? But it's incredibly intelligent. The creator was actually one of the head writers for Roseanne. Eh. Different strokes for different folks.

Dr. Vegas got cancelled, too.

the basis for South Park was around since the mid 80's (Pre-dating the Simpson's) when Trey Parker/Matt Stone created similar characters to the modern South Park characters during their school years trying to find a niche that would/could get 'em noticed...

Personally "Love Is Hell" (Matt Groening's Original comic strip) invented the Simpson's...And was MUCH funnier in how inventive it could be with the problems of modern society.

Is it still not out on DVD? I haven't seen any of those episodes in ages.

I don't even know who owns the rights to it, I'll have to get one of my tapes out and look during the credits. I believe it's Warners and they suck when it comes to shows on DVD.

If Laverne and Shirley gets a DVD, why can't American Gothic?!

Dr. Vegas is SO bad, but I'm a little disappointed that it was cancelled. I Tivo-ed it every Friday, because my mom LOVES Rob Lowe and was getting me to watch it with her so she could gush about how hot he is with someone.

SUCH a bad show. I wish Joe Pantaliano would go away.

Well, not only was "Laverne and Shirley" a classic, but I am sure it helped that Penny and indeed Gary Marshall are HUGE hitters in Hollywood. Conversely, Cindy Williams is just plain huge

SuzeQuze · #29 11-10-2004, 04:25 PM

I still like:
Friends
Will and Grace (but guest spots are annoying me)
Everybody Loves Raymond

No longer like:
Three's Company - my brother and I watched it every night as kids and when we were hanging out recently I thought it might be fun to watch it, but it's unwatchable.
That 70s Show (I also LOVE the earlier shows)
Bewitched - dated, looking forward to the movie though

New shows I like:
Joan of Arcadia, although the level of drama is crazy.
The Apprentice, some of these people do the dumbest things and it makes you wonder how they were picked for the show!

I totally disagree.
