shows that disappeared into the black hole

Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. That was a cartoon probably back in the 70s. Never been seen again.

smothers brothers, laugh in, addams family, monkees, all campy but I love em!

 

i miss the whole "nick at nite" era where they ran black and white sitcoms all night long - car 54, donna reed, my three sons, etc.

the game show channel was running two hours worth of old black and white game shows, but has now dwindled down to one hour only on sunday nights......man, how am i gonna get my password and what's my line fix? LOL!

seems like i'm not the only one here who's missing the other classics - monkees, addams family, wait til your father gets home, banana splits......sigh, the list goes on and on!

 

I like some of the old Monkees episodes, particularly the one where Davey's worried uncle was going to take him back to England and the Monkees put on an act like they were his butlers to make him look like a success so that his uncle wouldn't take him back.

Davey to Peter: You're to play my servant, the one who faithfully serves me for all my needs.

Peter: right.

Davey: Now hand me my jacket.

Peter (angrily) GET IT YOURSELF!

The first year or so of TVLand, they had a show on Saturdays called the TV and Radio Showcase. They would play things like the old Jack Benny Show from the 60s. They took that feature off many years ago.

There was a good Jack Benny episode from 1965 with the Smothers Brothers that they showed. They also played a concert from Las Vegas of the Rat Pack (Frankie, Dean, and Sammy). I've never seen that concert again. It was one of the few of the rat pack that was ever aired for free to the general public.

There was another show probably back in the 70s called Shazam! It was about a teen boy that would turn into superman and rescue people. His name as Billy, I think.

There was a female counterpart to that show called Isis. A young woman would chant "Oh Mighty Isis' and turn into Superwoman.

This thread is now officially closed for business...

 

Gee, I'm going way back but I remember when Howdy Doody went off the air in 1960! I then went on to watch the Sandy Becker show in 1961! That show went off the air in 1968 but by then I'd lost interest.

Mork and Mindy isn't on anymore.

 

Anyone know whatever happened to 'Ultra Man' and 'Johnny Socko' and his flying robot? Those were Japanese monster shows for kids.

.

 

How about "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea?"

Lost in space was a great sitcom that seemed to disappear from the airwaves. I think it was because it had some big stars in it so it cost to much money in residuals to have re- runs.

 

Big Stars :stunned: I use to like watching Lost in Space when it originally aired but I sure don't remember any big stars in it.
A bunch of TV series actors...

 

I can't believe Freaks & Geeks wasn't picked up by someone. The DVD set is out. I need to buy it. I love the episode where they switched the kegs at the party!

 

Voyage was Irwin Allen, the same producer as Lost in Space. You may notice the monster costumes are the same in both series.

.

 

The only stars in that series were the ones out in space.

.

 

I remember those, didnt Ultra Man cross his arms to release the fire circle , beam or whatever it was ? Flying robot ruled, Johnny would cruise around in robot's hand while he was flyin.

 

lol good one.... I never even thought of that

 

Yeah. Ultra Man had eyes like an insect. That show hasn't been around in a while.

Room 222 is another lost show about the high school life. I think it was on TVLand for a short while. That goes back to the late 60s early 70s. It had a hippie sort of spirit to it.
