Manimal. Manimal! Following a freak lab mishap, ugly dude is able to transform himself into any animal he wants! Which was usually a panther to other big n snarly thing to scare the bejeezus out of people. Yes. Back in 1983 they'd discovered semi convincing morphing software. W00!

And Automan. Automan! He was a computer generated dude! With a lil familar 'cursor' who could draw him whatever he needed on command! Which was usually a car. Or a bike. But they went thru traffic without turning the wheels! They kinda just 'displaced' sideways in the style of 70's overhead racing games.

Ooh! And there's another it reminded me of. Streethawk!

Yeah. I loved all the crappy low budget sci fi series that were canned.

I miss Night Court (I do have 5 seasons of it on DVD so don't miss it too much) :)

Muppet Show

3 2 1 Contact (Remember the Bloodhound Gang)

Arthur C. Clarkes Mysterious world

I miss the Simpsons its just not on enough. I really think there should be a 24/7 simpsons channel.

The kids in the hall (Sorry Python but K.i.t.h. is the best skit show ever)


:mad:

What I wouldn't mind missing is reality TV. All of it other than Survivor and Orange County Choppers is crap. The people producing the swan should be taken out and shot dead.

I would have to say, Star Trek: The Next Generation. Yes it's not like the traditional Star Trek, but I did enjoy it, and they no longer do new episodes of it.

Hmm.. yes, I miss the Freakazoid episodes. It was kinda like SL. It's there and makes absolutely no sense! :D

I miss a lot of the 80's Saturday morning cartoons. I miss a lot of cartoons. Most of the animation on TV in North America these days I wouldn't wipe my bum with. :p Of course... a lot of the 80's cartoons were crap, too, but they're nicely filtered through the hazy warmth of the memories of youth. :)

*giggle* Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors... w00t. Guess who worked on that show? :)

Umm... Magnum PI? I just got into the show, then they canned it. Grr.

I can't complain about the lack of Muppets, 'cause they still play that show up here. :D

They used to play Robotech up here... I remember desperately rushing home from school to watch it. Sure, it was practically a soap-opera, but it had GIANT FREAKIN' ROBOTS SMASHING STUFF and I was mildly impressed that they actually killed off the occasional character. w00t. :)

The Larry Sanders Show rocked! I'd forgotten all about it.

I'm really looking forward to the new Battlestar Galactica series starting in January (which you lucky people across the pond are already getting). The mini-series last year was hands down the best made for TV sci-fi I've ever seen.
