    There's a show that came out in the mid 80's. It was based and HAD the same cast from the movie Excalibur! Even Nigel Terry who played King Arthur was in it with the same actress who played Guenevere. It only lasted about a month. But, to save my life, I can't think of the name of it.

        Talk about the king of Canceled sitcoms!
        he used to to joke that he stared so may canceled shows ,the had a revolving door on his dressing room.
        stared " in the beginning" as a priest, the McLean Stevenson show
        and a show about ground control supervisor and a space shuttle crew,

            I remember Darkroom very well. I remember at least two stories, one of which starred Kotter's Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington and the mom from Good Times.

              Does anyone remember 'Mr. Merlin', starring the Grandfather from The Lost Boys as a gas station owner who happened to be the Magician of Legend?

                    and flip wilson show , and his cartoons specials based on his childhood.
                    They played his cartoon specials a couple of time when I was a kid, and the Statue of Liberty coming to life and the end and winking at him used to send me from the room screaming in fear

                    Remember Ted Knight's show where he was a cartoonist? That one was pretty popular, but I cannot remember the name of it.

                    How about "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" and its spin off "Fernwood Tonight"
                    It's all good!

                        Darkroom was never missed by me, although I watched it behind the couch at times.

                        Any Canadian or UK kids remember "The Phoenix and the Carpet"?

                            I just thought of another one...Lucan. About a boy raised by wolves. I seem to recall there was a TV movie before the series but I might be wrong.

                              my sister loved Lucan.

                              Anybody remember Szysznyk?

                                I remember 'Once a Hero' where a comic creators hero character comes to life and still wants to be a hero even though he doesn't have his powers in the real world. Is that the same show?
                                The ep I remember has the arch villain coming to life too and confronting his creator as to why he had the be the bad guy. I was expecting a showdown between the hero and villain but it was all character driven but I still liked it.

                                I remember Joanna Cassidy as the helicopter pilot on 240 Robert.

                                How about the 'San Pedro Beach Bums'? "Footbaaall, you bet!"

                                'Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince' anyone?
