07.15.11 | I can't fucking believe I miscounted a list of fucking 8....
Barney Miller: # of seasons 8 price for series on Amazon ?? (Box set due this year)
On this site we talk about our musical influences all the time. There is often mentioned a group or album that we love because of a parent. This would be the T.V. series equivalent of that. In the 80’s most families had 1 T.V. maybe 2 (and the second one was in the parent’s bedroom which brings us back to 1 as far as the children are concerned) and dad was in control. Having ended its run in 82’ this bad boy was in heavy syndication through the 80’s and we watched it whenever it was on. Abe Vigoda (fish) has to be one of the most likeable and memorable characters on a T.V. series in history. I’m betting that even if you’ve never watched an episode of Barney Miller you’ll still recognize Abe Vigoda.

07.15.11 | Dukes of Hazard is a classic. |

07.15.11 | ^ agreed sir. |

07.15.11 | Hey omni, do you remember 'Sledgehammer'? |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | Fuck yes I do and the series it was made to parody "Hunter". |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | You are Sehguh, you are lol.
16 right? |
MO
07.15.11 | Man Cheers and M.A.S.H are two of my favs. Also Gilligan's Island (the original) is up there. |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | "and the series it was made to parody"
Correction: one of the shows or the type of show.
I loved the original Gilligan's island to MO.
Man I wish I had remembered to put Moonlighting up there. I used to watch the reruns every day after school. |
dnor
07.15.11 | Jesus Omni...did you really watch M.A.S.H. during original airings. I knew you were old...but damn. |
Blindsided
07.15.11 | Cheers is so fucking ace.
I remember a couple years ago Walmart was selling all the seasons for like 9.99 a piece, wish I woulda bought them. |
MO
07.15.11 | I think you should include the magic school bus, show owns. |

07.15.11 | great list omni =)
Nice to see Mash |

07.15.11 | Thanks tritone, I think I could do a list of FOX casualties alone tbh. They are such fucking pricks. I think they do it just to get a large catalog. |
DominionMM1
07.15.11 | FOX has to be the worst network. I mean, how could they cancel 'Arrested Development'? 'The Sopranos' was originally developed for FOX, and they passed on it. Guess it shows how much they know. Anyone remember the name of that show where that guy moved back in with his parents after college, and had no friends because they all got married and/or moved away so he had to hang out with that 80's metalhead guy? |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | Greatest line of any Family Guy episode and also a good list of good shows canceled by FOX (some bad ones too like that 80's show):
Everybody, I got bad news... we've been cancelled.
Oh no, Peter, how could they do that?
Well unfortunately Lois there's just no more room on the schedule. We've just got to accept the fact that Fox has to make room for terrific shows like Dark Angel, Titus, Undeclared, Action, That 80s Show, Wonderfalls, Fastlane, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Skin, Girls Club, Cracking Up, The Pitts, Firefly, Get Real, FreakyLinks, Wanda At Large, Costello, The Lone Gunmen, A Minute with Stan Hooper, Normal Ohio, Pasadena, Harsh Realm, Keen Eddie, The Street, American Embassy, Cedric the Entertainer, The Tick, Louie, and Greg the Bunny.
Is there no hope?
I suppose if all those shows go down the tubes then we might have a shot. |
fsharptrit0ne
07.15.11 | FOX cancelled both Arrested and Firefly, they fucking suck dick |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | Also add John Doe to that list... I thought that was a great show. Also Tru calling, Family Guy, millenium, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. and FUCKING "BRIMSTONE". |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | ^ all good to great shows IMO |
pizzamachine
07.15.11 | omni as I remember him... still cooler than you! |
fsharptrit0ne

07.15.11 | Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those night when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiance didn't show;
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name. |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead;
The morning's looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe,
And didn't even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;
Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to go where people know,
People are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came; |

fsharptrit0ne
07.15.11 | "Out of Gas" has the best use of flashback practically ever |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | My wife out and out hates Firefly. I've tried to get her to watch it twice and she just can't get into it but for me it really is a perfect Sfi-fi series. |
Vesper
07.15.11 | I grew up with mostly animated shows, and was so sad when Batman Beyond was cancelled. :(
Then I stopped watching TV for my entire adolescence.
But then British comedy and Dexter pulled me back in college.
Peep Show is excellent, but it makes me feel so awkward, hahaha. |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | Speaking of the U.K. I also enjoy coupling, IT Crowd, Dr. Who, Hotel Babylon and Torchwood to name a few. |
fsharptrit0ne
07.15.11 | Firefly is an odd show, so if you're not into the whole sci-fi oddball thing, I can understand why you may not like it. |
Maniac!
07.15.11 | Firefly is amazing |
fsharptrit0ne
07.15.11 | Maniac knows whats up |
omnipanzer
07.15.11 | I agree but I can see how it wouldn't be some peoples cup of tea.

foreverendeared
07.15.11 | Whenever Firefly is brought up i have to mention Dollhouse because it was a great show as well. |
toxin.
07.15.11 | Wait, isn't Firefly recent? And isn't like MASH old?
How could you have grown up on both? |
