What show did you like in the 80's that very few remember?

[dj c-los]

Not many recall this show.
I was one of its few viewers. That's probably why it didn't last long.

I do have a secret love for SMALL WONDER, simply because it is the worst show to have ever been produced in the history of this thing we call television. It's so bad it's good.

Did anyone ever see the show "The Powers of Mathew Star?"
It was about a guy who can leave his body (spiritually) and go solve crime mysteries. The show aired at night for a season or two.

Remember "That's Incredible" when they had people doing incredible things. I remember seeing this episode when this guy used to speak very fast like some rediculous number of words per minute.

[Skip Intro]

Gigglesnort Hotel, Sunday mornings. There was nothing else on but it was a day off from school. This show used to scare the sh*t out me. Very very odd.

For those like me who grew up with Manhattan Cable 2 shows that had me glued was Al Goldsteins MIDNIGHT BLUE and this other cable access show which till this day IMO is still one of the greatest shows i've ever seen called
THE CRANK CALL SHOW
the premise was simple, this guy had a desk, a phone, you called, and you curse the crap out of this dude.

[kelvy]

Channel "U68" (1985/86)/videos

"Mama's Family" (set in the South)

that wrestling show they used to bring from Puerto Rico on channel 41 back on Saturday afternoons

that kid's show channel 11 wpix used to air with the two young women with the long hair and acoustic guitars that had a theme song that went something like "see ya see ya, hope you had a good old time" and it had this pet tiger puppet on it (it was called something like "Magic Garden"???)

el canal 47 (especially in their pre-Telemundo days including their short stint with "Netspan")with the following shows:

Los Kakukomikos (Juan Manuel Lebron, Bizcocho, Shorty Castro, & Lourdes Chacon)

Estudio Alegre (see above cast for "Kakukomikos" but add "Dagmar")

El Show De Las Doce with Eddie Miro and "La Condesa Del Bochinche" (what about that skit where this old guy would do anything just to get close to this nurse who revealed much cleavage?)

El Show De Iris Chacon (ahi viene!)

classic channel 47 commercials:

"Tops In The Bronx" (Vengan Aqui! Vengan Aqui!)

"Foodways" with that lady in the big-ass bow on her head and the oversize, thrift-shop round and thick sunglasses

Viandas Goya (viandas, que quieren comprar mis viandas Goya?)

Studebaker Jeans

Filippo-Totti Jeans

Varon Dandy Cologne

Machin Furniture (i used to go to high school with a student whose uncle owned that place in Union City, New Jersey...the commercials would run Cruasder's "Streetlife" in the background while the lady blows out the last candle and at the end, the lady says in a rather sexually-excaberated voice the name of the buisness)..channel 41 used to air this commercial a lot.

there was this talk show that lasted real briefly on channel 41 back in 82-83 and at the beginning, her and a few background female dancers would do their own rendition of "i specialize in love" ...

and you're really old school if you remember sneaking away once your parents were asleep and secretly turn on wwht channel 68 in hopes of catching a few glimpses of a scrambled porn movie.

talk about fragile, heh! heh! i remember her sister Lourdes Chacon doing a rendition of "a mover la colita" at "Los Kakukomikos" that had me glued!!!

dang, you remember "A La Cama Con Porcel"??? that was a classic "viejo verde" in which the opening of the show, there would be Porcel who is a hefty man in bed surrounded by all these young, skimpy-looking women...that was definetly an early 90s show on Telemundo...i even saw Porcel once in downtown Miami...as you well know, he did a cameo as "Sasso" on "Carlito's Way"...last thing i heard, he became a born-again Christian and opened a restaruant in Miami Beach called something like "A La Pasta Con Porcel"...

My mother still has my transformers put away for me. I got Soundwave, with 2 Decepticon cassettes, a couple of decep. planes. Autobots: I got Omega Supreme, Beachcomber, Bumblebee, Tracks, and the triple-changer that was a tank/plane/robot. Theres more that I have but I can't think of them now. If anybody feels me, who ever got their moms to but Megatron? I never found that one at the stores. Talk to me people... I might be as old as the underwear on your asses, but Transformers are the move!!

back in the late 70s, WOR Channel 9 (New York) would usually follow up Romper Room with an editorial oddly enough and it was not even a reporter on front of the tv, just the channel 9 WOR logo on it...

keeping up with the old school tv theme, remember:

tv stations actually signing off before the windfall of informercials that hit around the early 90s?

waiting until the tv station would go on the air (which meant either seeing the station logo on your screen or seeing a color pattern acompannied with a test-tone. some stations would play music in the background)? channel 47 in Jersey used to go on the air at the ripe hour of 4pm until about 1981...

"it's ten pm. do you know when your children are?"

"please stand by" screenshots accompanied by music when the transmission went foul?

(NYC): on Saturday nights at 11 pm on WNEW channel 5 (back in their Metromedia era), reporter Bill McCreary(???) used to have a news show called "Black News". in the intro, they used to play an early-70ish, uptempo song that sounds like Marvin Gaye crooning "whoo hoo" in it...what's the name of that song? it has baffled me for years.

the lyrics...
Love, exciting and new,
Come aboard.
We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow,
it floats back to you.

The Love Boat
soon will be making another run.
The Love Boat promises something for everyone.
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.

Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.

It's Looooove!
Welcome aboard - It's Looooove!

Just a few that I used to LOVE back in the day:

**Freddy's Nightmares**

-based on the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Not a bad show, IMO.

**Friday the 13th - The Series **

-VERY loosely based on the Jason movies. All had to do with some shop that sold haunted items. Kind of lame.

**Tales from the Darkside **

-Kicked ass! That intro always scared the hell outta me.

Hmmm, I would say Square Pegs & the Muphet Show!


Dj Pat
Physical Heat Music

[Fletch]

Y'all don't rembember Florence getting her own show, do ya? "Checkin' In". It ran for about 3 eps, then she went runnin' back to George and Weezie!

[selecta]

crazy post-twin peaks Lynch show called "On The Air", kind of campy but with that special David Lynch-Mark Frost one-two punch. Anyone else remember? It went for about 4 episodes on ABC. The show was set on a sound stage for a 50's variety show. Many of the twin peaks series characters return as cameos.

[TAB.]

The White Shadow. When Kevin Hooks was acting instead of directing.

[Mr. Clubman]

Lola Desire got it with the Love Boat pictures. That show was the moov. If i was somebody of that staff, I would probably be Gopher. Why? I don't know really. It just seems to fit.

LoveBoat people... you gotta luv us... graemlins/cheering.gif

[DISKOQUEEN99]

Yep. I remember the Righteous Apples and I used to love the White Shadow.

Here's one: Duane Martin and Patti LaBelle in "Up All Night"..the show where she owned a nightclub..

And what about "New Attitude" with Morris Day as a hairdresser in a salon!?

[AK]

Love American Style

[TAB.]

All these shows I watched in the 80s and have definitely been mostly forgotten. Most of em lasted a few months:


Bj and the Bear

Enis(spinoff from Dukes of hazzard)

Carter Country(the phrase-"Handle it Roy"- comes to mind)

The Renegades(Gangbangers resembling 'The Warriors' became crimefighters)

Ten Speed and Brownshoe(Ben Vereen playing, what else, an ex-con opposite Jeff Goldblum)

Grady(Whitman Mayo tried to ride the coat tails of Sanford and Son)

Hotel(with Shari Belafonte)

Jackee(Jackee Harri thought she was bigger than 227. Morris Day also did a cameo on this one. It didn't help.)

And...
"The Land of the Lost". You remember the family with the father, a big brother and little sister and a gang of dinosaurs. And they had a little friend named Chaka. Whew! This show and a bag of puffy cheese doodles always did it for me.

[C hristian]

It's Your Move. That's it.

Great show.

[DISKOQUEEN99]

Those wrestling matches with the VonErich boys. Tragically enough, 3 took their own lives, 2 died of other causes and there's only 1 left. The Kennedy family of wrestling. But they were fun to watch.

LET'S NOT FORGET FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
