ExiledInIllinois Posted February 18 Posted February 18 1972 ABC movie of week. 1974-75 series only 20 episodes... The progenitor of "The X-Files" by 20 years. 1 Quote
plenzmd1 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Luck on HBO. Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Dunn...about a bunch of degenerate horseplayers at Santa Anita and Hoffman as a gangster just released from Prison... an awesome show, especially if you occasionally put few sheckles on the ponies. Few horses died during filming(as race horses do) and the pressure from the outside was too much to continue with the show. Togtherness on HBO. Duplass Brothers thing, I enjoyed it. Quote
The Jokeman Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) Some of these are 80s gems. Small Wonder -Who doesn't like a robot named VICKI? Out of This World- Who doesn't like a half alien girl who talks to her dad (voiced by Burt Reynolds) via some weird Pyramid/Triangle thing? I don't remember the title but was with Snow White/Prince Charming but in modern times. Edited February 20 by The Jokeman Quote

Never heard of it but watch very little main broadcaster shows other than NFL. Series seems to be on YouTube free. Burt Reynolds in it makes it bizarre enough I may look at it. Worst part of streaming series is dealing with opening credits repeatedly. Watched "The Legend of Prince Valiant" that way and got so used to skipping opening credits with a certain amount of time I started doing it with other videos and needed to back up on them.

Do you mean the 2011-2018 show? In the first season, the Evil Queen interrupts the wedding of Snow White and Prince Charming to announce that she will cast a curse on everyone that will leave her with the only happy ending. As a result, the majority of the characters are transported to the town of Storybrooke, Maine, where most of them have been stripped of their original memories and identities as fairy tale characters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_(TV_series) Watched this for a few years but schedule did not work for me due to work and those I saw were out of order. When I see it on DVD set inexpensively I'll buy it. No, it was during the 80s and looks like Ridgeway found it. 10 minutes ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: That might be 'The Charmings'. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Charmings That's the one. Quote
Low Positive Posted February 20 Posted February 20 I used to like the sitcom Grounded for Life a lot. It did run for 5 seasons, but then it just seemed to disappear. Quote

For OTA reception that would be the PBS channel out of Rochester (channel 21). However... looking at their schedule just now I see it's on at 4 and 5 pm this coming Monday instead of at 8 pm. Weird... I don't recall ever seeing a change in the viewing time for this show before and we've been watching it for at least 20 years now! According to Wiki Antiques Roadshow is now in season 28.......... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiques_Roadshow Quote

BarleyNY Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Some great ones so far: Firefly, Brisco County Jr and News Radio were big favorites of mine. (RIP Phil). I’ll add an obscure one: Doctor Doctor, the one from 1989 that only ran 3 seasons. It is still a one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. 1 Quote
