You missed out!! If I could ever find 2 working VCR's, I'd copy the recording I have and mail it to you.

Ok, serious Disney Channel throwback - does anyone remember The Torkelsons? It was this sitcom about this family from a really small down. The show was centered around the oldest daughter (there were 5 kids and they all had double names) and was raised by a single mom. They were always struggling and kinda poor.

Anyway, i remember the show ending when the mom meets some well-off guy with 2 kids who owned a kids clothing company and they move to a big city (i think LA?) I dont think the show stayed on much after that.

There was another show called Flash Forward - i dont recall what the show was about too much, just a guy and girl BFF in middle school. looking back it wasnt anything spectacular, but i loved it!

I remember both of those. And on the Torkelsons, the little girl used to always talk to The Man in the Moon.

Flash Forward didn't have too many episodes...the main characters were Ben Foster & Jewel Satire

I used to be addicted to the Disney Channel as well. I guess I've just grown out of it over the past few years. I agree with y'all that old school Disney and Nickelodeon was the junk! From 1996-2001 the programming on those channels was classic, wholesome, and great. As far as Disney goes, I still watch some of the movies. I watch Life with Derek, Naturally Sadie (Love Canadian tv). I miss Smart Guy, the Proud Family, Lizzie McGuire, and Even Stevens.

Does anyone remember a tv show called My Brother & Me? It was on Nickelodeon, I think,

I had forgotten about the Torkelsons but IMDB reminded me all about Dorothy Jane and Kirby Scroggins, lol.

I blame the Torkelson's for wanting me to get a house w/ Bay windows so I could have a window seat where I can sit and talk to the moon! lol

Did anyone ever watch Ocean Girl on Disney? I loved that show and the Famous Jett Jackson.

Hey Dude is probably my all time favorite show from when I was growing up, that and Get Smart on Nick at Nite.

Was Ocean Girl about the girl who went to Hawaii?

YES!!! I was gonna post this, but as soon as I started to, I forgot the name. Dorothy Jane was my hero! But did anyone ever notice how DC commercials called it "The Torkelsons" but the opening theme flashed "Far From Home" on the screen?

I believe her name was Jewel Staite (she was the screamer on Space Cases, too). Speaking of Space Cases, does anyone else remember that show? Harlan Band was played by the Black Ranger from Power Rangers (useless bit of trivia there).
