I'm LOATHING the US Top Gear remake. It's going to be HORRIBLE.

They are making a US version? They must be crazy if they think they can match the personality and fun factor of that show.

Boomtown on NBC. Starred Donnie Wahlberg and some other noteables. Cop show investigating homicides, D.A. dialogue, etc. The hook was the show started with a particular scene, usually a murder scene, and worked backwards chronologically putting the pieces together. I thought it was great and fresh and then it just disappeared from the airwaves.

I agree. Getting rid of a unique show like, and now they have to show Deal or No Deal five times a week to keep ratings up...

Cheap Seats was excellent. ZUBAZ!

I hadn't heard about Zubaz in years until I saw them on there.

I always love the spelling bee episodes. The one with Paul Rudd (who I adore) collecting the kids' shirts killed me.

I agree. Adam Carolla is going to be on it, and maybe Tanner Faust who apparently fancies himself a race car driver despite only being able to drive sideways. I don't know who all else.
Radio and TV Personality Adam Carolla To Take on Top Gear
Gear (Top Gear USA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The best part of the current show is that they can just tear cars apart in reviews.

Do you think Ford is going to be happy when they say "look, the US Ford Focus is garbage. The Euro spec one is SO much better, why can't they just give us that?" Or when they say, look, the Malibu is way better than anything Chevy has put out in a long time, but that's like saying this crap is somewhat less offensive than the crap that they've been taking on their customers for the last 5 decades.".

Definately Freaks & Geeks. It had Seth Rogan and Jason Segel in it. I also miss Cheap Seats, the Sklar brothers are hilarious, and the original American Gladiators with Larry Csonka.

Sklar brothers are maybe the funniest humans on the planet. + rep

I think that's still on isn't it? I just saw a promo for it, I haven't seen the show though.

I think the new season starts here soon. I love "It's Always Sunny"!

I thought this was the "Best" not the worst? :wink:

I can't believe no one has yet to mention the Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon, or the Smurfs or even GI Joe. Those were the best cartoons ever and you can't find them anymore.

(Apologize if someone has, but I've only gotten 5 pages into the thread so far)

Andy Richter can save the universe or whatever it's called. Liked that one a lot.

Homicide was awesome. It was real cop show. Not that drama stuff from NYPD Blue. I loved when they did crossovers with Law & Order.

John Doe was a good one from Fox. Always wanted to find out where he came from. Also liked Drive. Didn't last very long and I'm surprised because it had cool car stunts and mystery. I think it was too expensive.

I liked when they just followed Jesse James the motorcycle builder in his everyday life. That was a good show. That was before Monster garage.
