Saturday afternoon, I was just being lazy and looking for something to watch on TV. And of course, there was absolutely nothing on.
It made me wish for a cable channel that would run all failed sitcoms. There's a cable channel for everything else, so why not that?
TV Land used to run stuff like that, but those shows have disappeared from their schedule now that they've become so mainstream.
And there's next to no chance of most failed sitcoms ever making it to DVD.
Here's some shows I would love to see again (click on the links for more info or in some cases to see an episode of the show)...
The Charmings (1987, ABC) - The story of Snow White, Prince Charming, and their family magically transported to the 20th century. This is the show I'd most like to see on DVD someday.
Easy Street (NBC, 1986) - Loni Anderson starred in this sitcom about a woman inherits a mansion from her husband. Unfortunately, other family members still lived there and didn't want anything to do with her.
It's Like, You Know (1999, ABC) - This was hyped up as a Los Angeles version of Seinfeld.
Woops! (FOX, 1992) - A sitcom about the few remaining survivors of a nuclear war.
Love & Money (CBS, 1999) - A sitcom about romance in a ritzy New York City apartment tower.
Hi Honey, I'm Home (ABC, 1991) - A 50's sitcom family is relocated to a regular suburban 1990's neighborhood after their show is cancelled.
On The Air (ABC, 1992) - From the creators of Twin Peaks, a sitcom about the Golden Age of Television. It made absolutely no sense. I loved it!
Free Spirit (ABC, 1989) - An updated Bewitched, which featured lots of special effects towards the end of its short run.
Marblehead Manor (syndicated, 1987) - A slapstick comedy about the staff of a large Massachusetts mansion.
The Trouble With Normal (ABC, 2000) - A group of paranoid people and their therapist. Of course it was hysterical!
Out Of Practice (CBS, 2005) - Henry Winkler starred is this sitcom about a family of doctors. The youngest sibling is constantly looked down upon as he's only a couples counselor.
