shows that disappeared into the black hole

I think a lot of shows did not disapear into the black hole. A majority ended quite well. I think syndication prevents the finales from being shown.

Saying that, a lot get ended a few seasons early for whatever reason, and the ending is rushed.

Dark skies being one i remember, just.

 

I remember watching Room 222 back in the day. I was 12 or 13 yrs old and had the hots for Karen Valentine.

 

It isn't all that old, but Titus was one of the funniest (as well as scariest, as it portrayed abusive families very well) shows on TV.

It just disappeared. Chris Titus is still doing stand up, Stacey Keach (sp) (who played his father, the drunk abuser) is still working, but the show is gone.

We miss it a lot. It was intelligent TV and spoke to many who grew up in really dysfunctional families.

 

I miss the only soaps I ever have watched in my entire life
Sunset Beach & Spider Games---nobody probably has heard of either because I think I was the entire viewing audience....especially as far as Spider Games goes.

And what about Love Connection? haha the most awful dating gameshow ever and I loved every minute of it.

 

Real People. That was a slice of life show from around 1980. It was a reality show long before they became the trend. They used to go to various towns and cover humorous stories about people. There was one episode where they went to a town that had robot battles. The 'robot wars' shows became a craze in the late 90s early 00s.

Real People had some variety and entertainment to it, much better than the same old Anna Nicole Simpson stuff or Ozzy Osborne's daughter.

check out http://www.tvaddicts.tv/index.php

it has a lot of tv shows on dvd that you cannot find anywhere else =)

 

haha i loved sunset beach... it got weird near the end but it was the only daytime soap that ever watched because i could watch it from the beginning.. but alas it was gone and i wasn't too upset about it, lol.. and i do remember spyder games that was on mtv.. had a chick on there that was also on sunset beach.. yay

 

Most recently i'd would say Firefly (2002) and Eureka (2006).
From the 60's Run Buddy Run, The Ugliest Girl in Town, The Second Hundred Years
and Love on A Rooftop.
Cheerio.

 

Lot of old stuff there, even the Flying Nun, Family Affair, and Eddie's Father.

aww that tvaddicts.tv website i mention earlier, please do not buy from them.. they are frauds who are out to get money... sorry for suggesting it.. =\ hard to get anything decent anymore.

 

I was wondering about that. They say the DVDs are -R and region-free. I noticed those packs aren't on Ebay either, so they probably aren't allowed there.

.

 

it was definitely too good to be true.. but that's the internet for you.

 

At least our money won't disappear into the black hole.

haha you are right about that.

 

Here I go again, showing my age. Hope some of you remember..

In the late 50's and early 60's Warner Bros had a hell of a evening line up.
Detective shows, including "77 Sunset Strip", "Hawaiian Eye", "Bourbon St. Beat", "Surf Side 6"...
Westerns included.."Maverick", "Sugarfoot", "Cheyenne", and several more
Remember "Kookie" (Ed Burns) the hip talking parking guy on 77 Sunset Strip.
His record with Connie Stevens, " Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb".

My home burnt to the ground on Jan 7 at 4 am in the morn. I lost a lot of dvds like the episodes of the Lone Ranger, a rat patrol one and some Get Smart episodes aas well as Mash and Gilligan DVDs and videos, Bullwinkle and Rocky cartoons, Our Gang videos
and some great episodes to many to mention like a lot of ole Clint Eastwood shoot em ups. If any one can mail me videos, dvds or copy onto a blank dvd disc some much loved oldy stuff I would be greatly beholden to y'all, also lost a lot of great comedy videos, my favorite genre like robin williams and eddie murphy stuff.

my address is Honor Seed. 33431 Douglas Drive, Ocean Park, WA 98640

thanks to all who can and bless the lord for sparing my life, the home explodedc and the noxious smoke was hellacios from the mobile home and all the burning plastic, one dog died in teh fire. 6 survived bless my muttheads.

 

wow honorseed, you really thought about this, hehe. nothing wrong with that =)

 

THAT was a cool show!!

 

Mary Hartman was a trippy show. Never seen a show quite like that before or after.

That was the start of the evening soap rage in the U.S. Dallas, Knotts Landing, etc.

Tony Orlando and Dawn. Haven't seen that music variety show replayed anywhere.
