They were smokin weed man! Think about it.. They always had the munchies, drivin around in that hippies van, and shoot - they were scared of everything. That's just my theory!

Billy, I think that was "You Can't Do That on TV"... it was a Nickelodion (sp?) show... I used to watch it faithfully..

Also, someone mentioned the little green men on Fraggle Rock.. they were called Doozers... they made those buildings out of sugar, which is why everyone wanted to eat them... gawd, I can't believe I remember this stuff.

"My So-Called Life" really used to piss me off, but I really like it now (I was the same age as Angela was during that time, and she just whined too much for me).

I LOVE Relativity so much! Somewhere at home, is every episode of Relativity on tape (I went out on Saturday nights and recorded them). It was such an amazing show.

"Mad About You" and "Living Single" are two shows that are gone, but certainly not forgotten.

i loved 90210- it was my favorite show!!
Some i also miss are....
Wonder Years
Full House
Perfect Stranger (remember Balki)
Saved by the Bell

Of course there are no more new episodes of these, but they do show re-runs all the time. I havent see a re-run of Perfect Strangers though.

Okay well i am going to ask this again on here and maybe someone knows that I am talking about. There was this cartoon show that i absolutely loved, i am thinking it aired sometime early 90's. It was kind of like a 90210 type show, meaning the kids lived in beverly hills and there was also some evil girl on the show, but it was a cartoon. I think it was called beverly hills teen??? maybe! and i know the evil girl had black hair and her name was Bianca! Does anyone know what i am talking about or am i just imagining things???

I absolutely, positively LOVED Melrose Place!! I was so sad when they took it off the air...but I guess that's how life is. Oh well!

I have every episode on tape too. I KNEW when it was on it would not last--esp. since it was on Sat nights, and its core audience was out on Sat nights!

I have to have a Relativity-fest every once in awhile. I esp. love the very first episode!

I have to agree with you there! I only watch "Daria" on MTV now. Otherwise, there's nothing on. MTV used to introduce me to bands that I now love. My fave show was "120 Minutes" on Sunday nights at midnight! It had the best alternative, new wave, and progressive music! MTV sucks now! I wish I had M2 so I could watch videos. I think it's telling that they had to start another channel so that videos could be shown!

Now, the other shows that I miss are:
1) Cupid: Had cutie Jeremy Piven in it!
2) Now and Again: Had a cast of BRILLIANT actors: Eric Close, Dennis Haysbert, Margaret Colin, Heather Matarazzo! AWESOME SHOW!
3) Seinfeld: I love that damm show! "JUMBOLAYA!" "Who told you to put the balm on?"!!LMAO!

Ah, TV, my soothing, entrancing mistress! HOW I LOVE THEE!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Where is my new blank videotape?? I was JUST thinking about the Menudo episode this weekend. It was my fav show back then and I actually taped that episode -- then I played it so much that my tape fell apart ! Remember Alfonso Ribiero (I know I didn't spell that right!) on that show! That was the best -- and -- thanks to that show I am now the animal advocate -- anyone remember the episode where Ricky's grandfather took him hunting and he hurt the deer but didn't kill it....and we all know what happened next....I cried for days about that poor deer (despite my mom's attempts to tell me that they took it to the vet and fixed it right up... yeah right -- gotta love those big 'uns moms come up with to settle our minds).

I want to see re-runs of all those Croft & Key productions they used to show on Sat. and Sun. mornings -- Dr. Shrinker, Sigmund the Sea Monster (*singing*...and Johnny & Scott are friends...), Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, The Bugaloos, Land of the Lost (the old school ones -- not that newer junk), and HR Puff-n-Stuff (Witchy Poo is my girl!) Anyone know where I can catch any of these?!
