Happytown:

A serial killer in the upper MidWest terrorizes a small ice-fishing town...
But the network cancelled it after a few eps so i never got to finish it😡

Harpers Island:

A wedding is disrupted by a psycho hell bent on murdering everyone in attendance
This was wonderful stuff... Im due for a rewatch

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

I'm actually watching Harper's Island right now. A really trashy show! Kind of like I Know What You Did Last Summer meets any Aaron Spelling soap.😁

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72269) 6 years ago

Oh awesome!
First time?
I wont spoil!!
Its slasher brilliance

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

Yes, first time, don't spoil!!!

Qualifies for light, passable entertainment, i would label this as pop corn tv show.

Stargate universe

[–] TexasJack (12515) 6 years ago

A bit obscure, but there was a comedy series that ran on MTV circa 1995 called "The State", which I loved. Haven't seen it since, but that group of actors continued to perform together. A number of them were in the movie Reno 911: Miami Beach.

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

I don't know why but reminded me of one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time.
Big Time In Hollywood, FL on Comedy Central. One season and done.
I still quote that show all the time.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12515) 6 years ago

I just watched some clips on YouTube. Good stuff, I will have to dig up the rest.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

I have it on a perpetual timer.
If it ever airs again it will record.

Too boring just just buy the DVD.
Then I'd have to get up and check the mail.......just too much work.

Hill Street Blues
St Elsewhere
In the Heat of the Night

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

St. Elsewhere is my favorite TV show of all time.
I remember about 20 years ago it was on cable.
Haven't seen it since then.

Reminded me of LA Law.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I am surprised somebody hasn't come up with a streaming service for older TV programs.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

I've seen St. Elsewhere only available on torrent sites.
I'm probably going to have to do it.
It's been 30 years. Running out of time.

I think people would pay for it.
How about an awards show channel?
24 hours of nothing but old awards shows.
I bet people would love it.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21118) 6 years ago

Just how much have you had to drink tonight??

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

Not as much as you.

I still think people would watch it.
Old Oscar shows, Grammy's, etc.......

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21118) 6 years ago

Oh, okay. I wasn't thinking vintage award shows. I'll have another 🍹

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

I'll join you.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

do you watch current award shows ??

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

I haven't seen one if about 30 years.

When they gave a Grammy to Jethro Tull for Heavy Metal I stopped watching all awards shows.
Nothing against Jethro Tull but they are not heavy metal.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Still controversial from what I read.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

Controversial - maybe
Bullshit- YES

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

didn't Jethro Tull practically invent Progressive Rock ??

reply

[–] db20db (16229) 6 years ago

Great band ! One of my favorites .

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

They were right there in the beginning.
A true legendary band.

Just not Heavy Metal.
If I remember this was the first time they ever gave an award for Heavy Metal.
I don't think anybody knew how to vote.
They went with something familiar.

reply

[–] db20db (16229) 6 years ago

Yes, trailblazers with a unique sound.

reply

[–] db20db (16229) 6 years ago

No, they're not but they are a great rock band !

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

Totally agree.

I just told hownos what I think happened.
Metallica should have won that year.
Jethro Tull has still done more for music.
I still like them better.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21118) 6 years ago

I'm another St Elsewhere/Hill Street Blues fan. Haven't seen either of them in years.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

don't see them anywhere and I have 900 cable channels.

reply

[–] db20db (16229) 6 years ago

Hill Street Blues was a favorite of mine.

reply

[–] AS117 (246) 6 years ago

I used to watch a show called Rip Tide. Haven seen it in probably 20 years or more. Hoping they put in out on Blu Ray some day. Still remember the show after all these years.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

If we're talking about the Riptide that was on in the 80's I'm with you.
It was part of the NBC Tuesday night lineup.

A-Team
Riptide
Remington Steele

reply

[–] AS117 (246) 6 years ago

Yes the one from the 80s. I used to watch The A-team all the time when I was a kid.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

I liked Riptide better than The A-Team.
What was the name of the nerdy guy who was in that show?

Remington Steele had Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist.
Whatever happened to her?

reply

[–] AS117 (246) 6 years ago

His name was Murray, I think. I never watches Remington Steele for some reason.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

Murray, yes I think that's it.

You probably were like me and were told to go to bed at that time.
I always had to sneak up to watch it.

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

Team Knight Rider. Absolute crap.

Relic Hunter is another one.

I've actually been trying to rewatch all the shows I used to watch. There are other shows from the last 10-15 years I haven't rewatched yet, but that's because it feels too early to do so.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

What's too early?

If you're gone tomorrow it's never too early.

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

Haven't got the time either!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

Buy a watch.

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

I'm waiting for TexasJack to buy me a Rolex for my birthday once I've dug my way out of prison.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12515) 6 years ago

I said "released" not "escaped". Escape invalidates the deal.

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

Same thing. They won't be looking for me. They know they'll see me again soon, anyway.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

Do your thing but I've got Timex for days.
No b-day required.

Prison is no problem.
I've done a watch undetected for 5 years.
Just like my dad.
No way greasy yellow hands are going to take my watch.

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

No problem for me either. I get special treatment. All I need are my stiletto heels.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

You got the heels and I've got the glass tables and customers.

If only I could come up with something. Hmmmmmmm??

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

I have no idea!🤷‍♀️

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

I'll work on it sick girl.

Feeling better??

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

Still barking like a dog, unfortunately. But thanks for asking, sweetie.😘

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

A certain person I know had this for 3 weeks then went to the doctor.
They told her we usually don't give antibiotics for this but you sound so
bad we'll give you something. I hate doctors.

A week later = good as new.

Don't wait too long.

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

It's only been a few days, but it's nice of you to care!😉

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

If you repeat this I'll deny it.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Relic Hunter was a Canadian production.

reply

[–] Stratego (29296) 6 years ago

I actually knew that! They also went to Holland once. Awful.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

I just thought of

Friday the 13th TV series
War of the World TV series.

I think they were on around the same time.
I used to love those shows.

reply

[–] Frogarama (12942) 6 years ago

One of my favorites in my youth, Northern Exposure. I'd love to watch through it again.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 6 years ago

Nice call.
