shows that disappeared into the black hole

I've rarely seen any of these shows in the U.S. Wonder if they buried the tapes or something.

Courtship of Eddie's Father
The Monkees
Nanny and the Professor
Julia
Mod Squad
Smothers Brothers (hard to even find anything on DVD or VHS)

Maybe they'll show up on TVLand eventually. In the western U.S. there's a network called RetroTV (RTV) that is trying to bring back old shows. They are similar to TVLand. Hee Haw has disappeared also. I liked their cornball comedy.

Adam-12 and Dragnet!!!

 

Adam-12 and Dragnet are on DejaView every day, but it might only be a Canadian channel

 

Tiny Toon Adventures

 

The Monkees were on MTV briefly back in the late 90s. The ratings weren't good so they pulled it.

.

 

DejaVu is a good channel but only Canadian.

.

 

Smothers Brothers I liked, Peyton Place disappeared, I'm glad............but I did enjoy Twin Peaks.

 

Come to think of it, Ben Casey has disappeared too.

I'd like to see some of the original Candid Camera episodes with Alan Fundt.

man from uncle episodes id like to watch again, art linkletter with the kids interviews was fun too

 

Shaggie,

"The Smothers Brothers" TV, if it ever gets to DVD, hopefully will have the scrolling cartoons on the bottom (the one where the guy's penis swung in the air and the girl's boobies ere exposed.) I fell in love with Terry Garr on that show; she played the hooker under the streetlight.

The Untouchables (they are available on VHS tapes).

 

There was another old one from the late 60s that had Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and a girl. I think her name was Becki. They were real kids but dubbed into a cartoon setting. Not even sure what the name of the show was.

Some of these shows could come out on DVD but there are still legal squabbles between various groups over who owns the rights, so they never make it to DVD.

.

 

The Gogs (those plasticine cavemen) fooking classical gas, mate.

 

The show I referred to earlier was called The New Adventures of Huck Finn. It was shown occassionally on the Banana Splits show.

It was one of the more creative shows of Hanna Barbera but lasted only 5 months.

.

 

Make Me Laugh was another from the late 70s that never came back. I think they did some remakes of it but I've never seen the original re-aired. That was appararently the first national show Gallagher was on. There were a number of other screwball comedians on that show, including Roger & Roger, Wayne & Shuster, and Bill Kirchenbauer.

.

 

Reading all those old t.v. shows makes me wonder how distributors differentiate then select some shows in preference to others?.

To the best of my knowledge episodes of these top entertainment classic shows are not currently available on DVD:


'Hawaii Five-O' 'Astronut' 'Peter Gunn' 'The Rowan & Martin Laugh In' 'Taxi' 'The Banana Splits' 'Marine Boy' 'The Magic Roundabout' 'Batman' 'Get Smart' 'Land Of The Giants' 'Top Of The Pops' .

 

The Sword of Justice "It's rapier marks the end"



Hotwater

 

I absolutely miss Night Court, that show was hilarious. I also miss Outer Limits and X Files. (ok now I feel like a nerd.)
