Old TV shows you want back on TV

Recommended Posts

Not new versions, just shows you haven't seen on tv in years.

 

Since it's an athletic competion. ESPN Classic should show the old Battle of the Network Stars.

I grew up on Underdog. I have yet to have seen the sex tape 'ween him and Sweet Polly Purebreed (...) But seriously, I was nearly crying in laughter when he showed up on the Capital One commercial. Oh and Mighty Max. Another favorite. Nostalagia's fun.

Mystery Science Theater 3000.

 

I'm guessing it can be considered old now. Last episode was about 5 years ago.

 

Get someone really rich (Turner, maybe) to buy the rights to all the movies shown, then put the show in syndication!

Good choice.

 

Good Times would be another good choice.

 

Know days with every show on DVD, it's alot less likely we'll see these shows back on regular tv.

Silk Stalkings (the old old episodes, not that new duo, Chris and Rita dammit)

Thunder in Paradise

 

Oh, and L.A Heat. The buddy cop show which in every episode, the two of them would be in a car that flipped over and they would toss a quip at each other about the accident.

 

All of these shows should be on DVD

EDIT: Holy crap! Silk Stalkings IS on DVD. Ok, now that is just awesome.

The old Nickelodean (sp?) shows. (Fox too I think)

 

Shows like, Are you Afraid of the Dark, and Goosebumps, also Eerie Indiana. And there was this other show with a similar concept on the same channels, where I can't remember the name, but it was like, based around a lighthouse I think?

Watching it as I type. They did find a cute way to handle nuclear annihilation. :)

I think Nickelodeon should make its GAS digital cable channel into a Classic Nickelodeon channel.

 

Never thought I'd say this but - I'm sick of watching the old Nick game show reruns.

 

When I first got digital cable I watched it every day, though.

Not that old, but I'd like to see Beat The Geeks back on TV.

It's called "Round The Twist" which was an Australian show based on the books written by Paul Jennings. There was a remake if I recall, but it wasn't as successful as the first series...

Seinfeld.

What episode was it that Debbe Dunning (the tool girl from Home Improvement) appeared? She was a smokin' sexy bitch, hot as hell.

Video Power, both the quasi-video game review show with the cheesy cartoon and the game show incarnation. Yeah, I have shitty taste in old TV shows.

Batman: the animated series. that was such a kickass show. it was dark, pretty violent and it pretty much protrayed batman the way he should be. The new Batman show they have now is absolute shit.

Me too. I wonder who exactly they're trying to appeal to with the GAS channel - I can't imagine too many of today's kids are really big on the incredibly outdated Double Dare and Finders Keepers. It's a nostalgia channel and it's amazing Viacom hasn't picked up on that yet.

Are any satellite providers planning to pick up GAS? I've seen it a few times but I would like to have it on DirecTV. They recently picked up Nicktoons so there's always hope for us satellite people.
