TV shows nobody else remembers

[Mikey]

I just thought of a good one ....

Anybody remember The Tripods (British Sci Fi series) on PBS in the 80's ?

[kryptosmaster]

How about "We Got It Made"? Kind of a switch on Three's Company with two bachelors and a live-in hot blonde maid. Early 80's.

I kind of remember 'whoops' but couldn't have told you the name. And Werewolf with Chuck Conners.

'Highwayman' had big loud Australian guy who was in a battery commercial at the time. He was the MR T of the show.

Back when Sci Fi was new they aired 'the Phoenix' but I don't recall much about it.

The Master had one of the Van Pattens in the 'karate kid' role I believe.

I remember the New Odd Couple. How about 'Baby, I'm back' with Demond Wilson

Yes to Masquerade with Kirsty Alley. I still know some of the lyrics to the opening.

I remember QED. It was set in the past. He was an inventor/adventuerer?

I laughed so hard at 'It's your move' but it seemd to fade quickly. How long can a kid keep a guy from hooking up with his mom?

I remember a movie of the week where a guy made an armor suit like Iron Man and he couldn't walk until he wore the suit. Something went wrong and the suit lost power-maybe due to gunfire, and he asked a young black kid to press some buttons on it to re-start the suit. The kid saw the suit but before he approached he looked up all around the sky to make sure there were no UFO's in the area. I don't know what that was.

There was a comedy/mystery/soap on NBC same season as Cliffhanger and Supertrain which seemed to be like the Clue board game turned into a night-time soap/sitcom. I can't remember what that was.

I do remember A Man Called Sloane, Sledge Hammer!, Masquerade, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home.

How about: Gene Rodenberry's Spectre movie of the week, Lady Blue, Strike Force with Robert Stack and Trisha Noble?

I liked the Phoenix and Wait 'Til Your father Gets Home. I too wanted the New Odd Couple to work, but was disappointed. I liked James at 15 (and 16). I like the Rockford spin-off Ritchie Brockleman (sp?). I also liked the show where David Hartman was a school teacher. I do not remember the name of that one. Anyone remember the comedy Best of the West with Joel Higgins from Silver Spoons and Salvage 1?

A show I remember watching as a kid and loving was "Apple's Way". I was SOOOO in love with Kristy McNichol.

Loved this show. Also loved "James at 15" and "The Bearcats" JOHN

Mann and machine was a good one

I remember cliffhanger.

I'll bet nobody here remembers QED.

Quentin Everhart Deveril?

[palitoy]

I remember it and love it. I have a boot somewhere of the whole series.

Yeah I got em all somewhere too.

[EMCE Hammer]

It feels like no one ever remembers Danger Theatre. Divided into The Searcher starring Diedrich Bader and Tropical Punch starring Adam West.

I can't even find video for the Tropical Punch segment.

Ah, the early days of Fox.

WOW, very cool to know that I wasn't the only one that watched Wait Til Your Father Gets Home.


And yes, that theme song has stayed with me for decades now. It was only the second prime time animated show with the Flintstones being the first and then the Simpsons became the third. I have never seen it in my area on reruns. I was very young but for some reason I did get it. Not sure why as I am no rocket scientist (but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express once).


I knew a few Sid and Marty Kroft fans would speak up. They have a huge fan base and a lot of people loved their shows. I just wasn't one of them. I was more into cartoons then live action when it came to Saturday mornings.


Great topic. And I had forgotten about some of the bad Fox shows in their early days of programming. Married With Children saved them big time.

[The Toyroom]

A show I remember watching as a kid and loving was "Apple's Way". I was SOOOO in love with Kristy McNichol.

I remember in grade school this girl used to sit across from me in lunch and she had an "Apple's Way" lunchbox....

How 'bout "Masquerade" with Rod Taylor and Kirstie (pre-"Cheers") Alley?
