Diane: Oh! Diane Chambers. I'm Sam's new waitress.

Dave: Sam have his brand on you yet?

Diane: Hardly.

Dave: Good, then you're in for a lucky day. Not only am I incredibly rich, I'm incredibly good looking, and incredibly nice.

Sam: And incredibly married.

[laughter]

Diane: Well, I am sorry to hear that.

Dave: You are?

Diane: Yes. I was hoping to reject you based solely on your personality.

I was DVRing Cheers for awhile recently... one thing I will say: The Diane episodes beat the Rebecca episodes 6 days a week and twice on Sunday.

Original Star Trek.

Yeah but somehow Star trek was always better that the two GCG mentioned.

Cheesy adventure?.. Lost in space ...and the one where the people were all bigger? Land of the lost?


Star Trek was great. Visionary. But still incredibly cheesy.

Exactly , the special affects of those days were not on par with the writers.

Special effects and William Shatner.Laughing

I liked Star Trek and Lost in Space until they both got kind of stupid. They all got that way after awhile. Batman, Time Machine, even the Addams Family. They sure were fun, though!
I watched Daniel Boone, Gilligan's Island, Bewitched... All the classics from the 60's and 70's. Even Soupy Sales!
We don't watch too many current popular programs, like Dexter. We probably missed out by not doing so.

It's known as jumping the sharkSmiling a term they came up with when the "Happy days" writers were so worn out and tapped out they had Fonzie on water skis jumping over sharks.

My friends very elderly mother watches Daniel Boone every morning. I couldn't remember the show because it was on during the late 70's and I didn't watch TV in those days.
I sure didn't miss anything because that show is so lame that it's actually fun to watch just to spoof onRazz
One episode actually had Burl Ives playing a singing indianLaughingLaughingLaughing

Also, several clogging groups frequently performed on the show, and occasionally the show featured child singers who would perform top country songs of the day.

In addition to hosts Buck Owens and Roy Clark, who would perform at least one song each week, other cast members—such as Gunilla Hutton and Misty Rowe—would occasionally perform a song on the show; and the show would almost always open with a song performed by the entire cast.

Elvis Presley was a fan of Hee Haw and wanted to appear as a guest on the program in the 1970s, but his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, would not allow him to do so. A similar situation occurred when Elvis' friend Johnny Cash asked Presley to appear on his show.

Sheb Wooley, one of the original cast members, wrote the show's theme song. After filming the initial 13 episodes, other professional demands caused him to leave the show, but he returned from time to time as a guest.

Loretta Lynn was the first guest star of Hee Haw and made more guest appearances than any other artist. She also co-hosted the show more than any other guest co-host and therefore appears on more of the DVD releases for retail sale than any other guest star.

From 1990-1992, country superstar Garth Brooks appeared on the show four times. In 1992, producer Sam Lovullo tried unsuccessfully to contact Brooks because he wanted him for the final show. Brooks surprised Lovullo by showing up last minute, ready to don his overalls and perform for the final episode.[5]

Still watching mostly BBC shows, but also some Danish, Icelandic and other shows. There's some damn good programming out there when you walk away from the American market. There are some very good American shows also, but not enough of them, and I'm enjoying my nightly fix of a really good show when I can find it and watch it on my time. Right now having gone through the entire British version of Wallander, I'm on to Luther, which while only a crime drama, is done very well.

Adam-12. I watched this every time it was on when I was a kid. You could see it was a bit forced in places, but it gave the viewers a feel for what 'real' police work was all about in the late 60's early 70's.

Its on YouTube now, and Hulu.

I especially love the episodes that show the old gas stations with their $0.39.9 prices.

Yeah it is fun sometimes to watch old shows. I've been watching Gunsmoke and Bonanza Laughing
Gunsmoke is way better, I can't believe how lame Bonanza was with the fake back drops at the ranch or at any camp sites.

When you watch them with no commercials and you fast forward through slow parts, you end up watching several shows very quickly.
Instead of once a week. So you start to notice the same scenery being used over and over.
Foe some reason every campsite is perfectly flat and there is always hay on the groundLaughing

Have I never mentioned Southland? Good show. There's not much good about Television. Southland is a top act show. Violent. But good. I seem to like the violent ones. But I know it's not for the violence. I know it's just because the really well written ones happen to also embrace whatever the violent aspect is and not shy away from it. I don't usually get tied up waiting for a next episode. Last time I did was for Breaking Bad. But I have for Southland, this last one, which I watched on On Demand.

Yes. That's the only thing on On Demand. Netflix does not Stream Southland. So if you miss it, you miss it unless you want to order or buy season dvd's. I think it's the only show I'm watching in it's current season.

Hee Haw was a great show!

GLOOM, DESPAIR AND AGONY ON ME
From the TV Show "Hee-Haw" (1969 -1992)

Buck Owens & Roy Clark


Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me

We figured she was rich, loaded to the hilt
And we figured she had class like the Vanderbilts
'Cause we had heard for years how she was so well reared
How was we to know they meant the way she was built

Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
