I saw Tim Allen a couple of weeks ago and it brought back good memories of watching Home Improvement back in the day. Which lead me to think about TV shows that I loved as a kid, that if I saw the first two minutes of an episode today I would know exactly what happens in the rest of the episode.

For me I can think of 3 such shows. Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, and Saved By the Bell. What shows did the rest of you watch all of the time?

I watched all of those. I got really into the classic Simpsons episodes too, when I was about 10-11, as it was on every afternoon.

Not like today's stuff is much better. Not as lame as these shows look now, but still bad. The comedy sitcom is slowing dying off and it's being replaced by hour long drama's. As a fan of laughter this saddens me greatly.

The comedy sitcom is being replaced by really, really funny shows on cable networks. Check out It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia sometime.

This is one of many shows that I watched religiously as a kid but when I see it now, I think to myself, "What the **** were you thinking? This is terrible."

I'm in the same boat. I can't watch it much anymore. Way too cheesy. I loved it growing up, but nowadays I'm more inclined to laugh AT it as opposed to WITH it.

The Dukes of Hazzard-
Could squeal tires on dirt...every major crook in the country just happened to be driving through Hazard. Every other car was a brown, or white POS.

The A Team- Mr. T wouldn't fly, but would get into automatic fire exchanges on a daily basis. Would find an Acet torch in a shack in the middle of Nicaragua every week. No one ever died. One time a chopper blew up, hit a cliff, fell 1000 ft, and they showed the two guys running out of it after it hit the ground in flames.

Miami Vice- Crockett and Tubbs, enough said.

Airwolf- the modified Bell 222 Helicopter still looks cool today. I think it crashed as an emergency Heli around 92 killing it's passengers. Stringfellow Hawke (Jan M Vincent) was the man!

Magnum PI- pretty much Hawaii 5O, Airwolf, Miami Vice, and The A Team wrapped up into one show.

Three's Company- there was always some big miscommunication that caused problems for Mr. Farley.

Gilligan's Island- they would find a way off, and Gilligan would screw it up. They would have fried his skinny arse up and eaten him in real life.

Best comedy sitcom for me. It was cheesy, but I always laughed my *** off watching it. John Ritter was the man. Every day I wish he was still with us, because he was on his way to showing another generation how funny he was on 8 Simple Rules.

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care about time?

Thats actually the first thing I thought of. I liked Home Improvement a little bit but watched it more in syndication than when it was on.

Shows that bring me back:
Night Court
Quantum Leap
Fresh Prince

Seinfeld reminds me of college a lot but its never really not been on TV so the timeline is a little more blurry with that one.

First thing I thought of as well.

I watched a couple episodes of Quantum Leap a couple years ago and it wasn't nearly as good as I remember it.

Leave it to Beaver. Was not on reruns in our market so I always watched it if we went somewhere else. Shout! Factory is finally releasing the whole series. The first two seasons were released a while ago but the later ones, where Eddie blooms into his wonderful teen creep, are the ones I crave.

**** VanDyke Show

Green Acres

Beverly Hillbillies

Get Smart

In college it was Rockford Files. That was on every weeknight late.

had to bump this thread, Ive been watching some old shows Home Improvement, Roseanne ect for comedies. Holy cow was Home Improvement a bad show after year three or so. The wife became a feminist and the acting got worse and worse not only from the mother but the youngest son as well. Cringe worthy watching the show. Anyone have any shows you enjoyed when they were on but watching now and think are horrible?

Can we bump the "Jim Criner announced as new head coach, Graduate Student Soviet Employee Union complains" thread to the top of the list too? OH, the world wide web was not functioning then you say?

BTW, Tim Allen's R-rated stand up was pretty good....but the show was cringe-worthy. Must skip tv.....YOu think they could have sprung for a boob job for the wife. the humor was non-existent. It was almost like some hetero suburban schmucks laid-off from Disney after the Tron movie were the writers. Gotta have some Glee in the writing department or it ain't funny.
