Post the name of a forgotten, forgettable sitcom

"Grady"


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grady_(TV_series)

but it's not going to work. :P

:rofl:

:yoiks: I'm ashamed to admit I actually remember that one. :rofl:

No, I mean the sitcom that aired right after Herman's Head.

:P

Herman's Head, Get a Life, and In Living Color

Good times...

Man, I LIVED for FOX's Sunday night line-up....

AWESOME show!

Yeardley Smith in the flesh.

Whenever I hear the voice of Lisa Simpson, I always remember that Yeardley Smith was on Herman's Head first.

The Simpsons started in 1989, while Herman's Head came out in 1991.

Unless you were making a pun in reference to this episode in which case, I'll have to lock this thread!

O8)

Ah well...

And may I just add that you are absolutely incorrigible! If anyone in the Lounge thinks I'm a pervert, then they have not been paying attention to your posts!

:rofl:

And Hank Azaria was on Herman's Head, too.

...is Paris Hilton's aunt??? :wow:

Maclain Stevenson was the King of Bad Sitcoms for a while there.

ah the good ole days of the Golden Girls spinoff

Which I believe was on the same night as Golden Girls and Empty Nest.

Holy sh-t, why in God's good name did I keep that fact in memory?

I remember the dog's name (Dreyfus) but none of the human characters. Go figure.

The two sisters played by Dinah Manoff and Kristy McNichol were funny as hell on the show.

And Park Overall's accent was so cool...

Not to be confused with Step by Step, of course:

It featured a pre-Seinfeld Julia Louis-Dreyfus and that actor who went onto play Greg in the Brady Bunch movies. Oh, and Courtney Thorne-Smith too, pre-Melrose Place.

I thought I was the only one that remembered that show!

...of American Beauty fame.

Don't ask me why I remember it, because I don't know myself.

Howie Mandel working in a funeral home with a transvestite assistant.

How did this series not make it BIG?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098807/

So forgettable, in fact, that I can't even remember typing my subject line.

"It's BJ McKay and his best friend, the Bear."

Crap. Now I have to play 'Replace earworm with less hideous earworm...'

Damn you to heck for reminding me of that crap-fest!!!!

Can you imagine a show about a flophouse now?

:cry:

I only remember it because the one episode I saw of it was interrupted halfway through when they cut to live coverage of pulling Baby Jessica from the well.

It was horrible.

With Bill Mahr. On Showtime. From the '80's. Take that bitches.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Mother_The_Car

and It's About Time

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_About_Time_%28TV_series%29

Two real stinkers.

Gawd, that was horrible! Dick Van Dyke's brother Jerry before he was on Coach. It's kinda like expecting Bill Clinton and getting Roger. Or Jimmy and getting Billy.

If you're old enough to remember those 2 comedies, you must also remember "Camp Runamuck". All those shows make Gilligan's Island look like Shakespeare.

I had completely managed to forget "Camp Runamuck". The sitcom gods are not happy!:rofl:

...and yes, I WOULD like to have some of what the creative geniuses behind THAT one were smoking.

:evilgrin:

should be the first example after the definition of "some really bad shit" in the dictionary.

that as far as I recall, the only funny lines I heard all came from Reynolds.

:rofl: You're wrong that that one, IJ!!!

Although Morgan Fairchild looked gorgeous! ;)

Kerry tapped it back then.

spin-off of Three's Company. Actually saw a couple of episodes not too long ago. I actually watched it back then, just a kid back then I guess.

Nell carter sitcom...I actually liked this show too
Carly

I liked this show too
Carly

Starring Chris Elliott.

Never heard of the guy. He a comedian or something?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062567/

I only remember it because the theme song is an occasional earworm.

Jimmy Walker....

A sitcom from the 60's. Starred Phyllis Diller.

Starring Breckin Meyer. Had something to do with some dude's life being narrated like a sports game. Or something inane like that.

Mercifully cancelled after eight episodes.

One of those Fox sitcom gems

I think it lasted at least 4 or 5 weeks

Another one of those Fox sitcom gems...

Kaye Ballard and Eve Arden!

It's gassy!

Don't remember anything about it, except a guy was trying to get back with his ex-wife. That was the plot of every episode.

Sort of like the concept to the Brady Bunch movies, where a 1950s sitcom family was living in modern times.

It must have been on when I was about six years old or so. I don't remember much about it at all, except that I think I was vaguely confused about whether it was an actual old show (I watched a lot of Nick at Nite as a kid!) or something new...

"Don't be ridiculous."

:puke:

Actually it was a pretty popular show for a number of years. And I liked it growing up as a kid.

Saw it on reruns recently and it still is reasonably funny despite its inherent cheesiness.

The slapstick, the silly accent ... I dunno, it kinda tickled me.

with Bess Armstrong and another, taller, gal.

There was also one called "Cousins." I don't know who starred in it, and I only remember one episode, but I still remember some of the theme song! :crazy:

I remember this sitcom because of the set design. It was the first time I had ever seen a vintage quilt used as a wall hanging, and it impressed the P-doodle out of me.

Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari as cross dressing straight men!

Seeing that it is still found on reruns and that it lasted a reasonably long time.

And yes, I liked Mama's Family. I'll admit it.

I loved Mama's Family!

Thanks a lot, Mama!!!!

:rofl:

:rofl:

He wore some tight pants.

I did like the show but I watched it for Bubba's pants.

Of course, being in the south I saw much of various family members in the characters.

But really- Vicki Lawrence is among the best comics. Impeccable timing!

It's a shame that she didn't have much mainstream success outside of Carol Burnett's shadow. I always thought she was a brilliant comic!


On edit: I hope your spirits are better, SacredCow. Keep your chin up! :)

From her website, though, it looks like she stays pretty busy.

And my spirits are better- thanks for that! Still some unknowns ahead for me, but that can be exciting as well as scary, no? :)

Another gem from the early days of Fox.

Dunno if it counts.

for indirectly speeding along the demise of China Beach.

About Vegas showgirls.

Starring the Dr. Pepper guy who was in American Werewolf in London.

as a gay man who never really did anything "gay."

n/t

<thwack>

A playground favorite.

:eyes:

turned out to be the dad.

She's such a slut.

a parody of Robin Hood produced by Mel Brooks. It starred Richard Gautier as Robin Hood,Dick Van Patten as Friar Tuck and Misty Rowe as Maid Marian. It lasted half a season.

Also a Mel Brooks production. Which had its moments.

It got good ratings but never found an audience.

Not NEARLY as good as I remember.

Sledge Hammer: The Early Years

.

and Max Wright before he went on to find fame and fortune in ALF.

Whenever I saw Cox-Arquette on an episode of "Friends," I always remembered that show for some reason. :shrug:

A Dom DeLuise vehicle.

Notable for the first use of "ass" on network TV as something other than a reference to a donkey.



I don't even think it went into summer re-runs after it was cancelled in its first season. It was just... horrid.

Only used t' cost a nickle.
A dollar used t' only cost a half a buuuuuuuuuuuuck!
somethingsomethingsomethingsomething

Lotsa Luck!"

A "Married with Children" spinoff in which Matt LeBlanc played a dumb italian guy.

Probably not forgettable, exactly. Maybe forgotten...

I'd forgotten about it. Thank you. Thank you very much. :puke:

Had George Clooney in it. Don't remember it very well, but I know my mom watched it together.

Tikki

The debut of Jennifer Grey's hacked up face. I thought she was cuter with the, shall we say, ethnic look....

She was in "Home Alone," too.

I thought she was older. :shrug:

CPO Sharkey
Quark (although I am not sure that is forgettable if you have seen The Bettys :wow:)
Prince Charming

The book really was much better

But I have recently been researching a bunch of Bouton relatives. I cannot find out what his father's name is though, to see if he is part of my family. At least I learned that he pronounces it Bow-ton. I had been thinking of it as Boo-ton. Too much thinking of "To kill a mockingbird" I guess.

New boy in the neighborhood
Lives downstairs and it is understood. (Understood that what?)
He’s there just to take good care of me,
Like he’s one of the family. (If you say so...)

Charles in Charge
Of our days and our nights (Huh?)
Charles in Charge
Of our wrongs and our rights (What the?!?!?)

And I sing, I want,
I want Charge in Charge of me. (???!!!!????!!!!!????)

Before the Naked Gun there was the TV Show Police Squad! No laugh track, no chance.

That was a great show. You can tell the episode number by how many garbage cans get knocked over at the beginning.

You can't feel down after a couple of episodes.

Sort of wierd how Nordberg (i.e. the OJ Simpson character in the movies) was white, though.

one of Jon Stewart's early 90's shows.. it succkkked

and I didn't eaven have to look it up
For some reason, I loved that show as a kid
edit: typo

starring Bob Denver.

This thread is like so many bad car accidents.

Gilligan's Island in a stagecoach.

They couldn't cancel this show fast enough.

I loved it, really.

With Jerry Van Dyke

but with football players.
Just awful

Although, actually, I really liked that show, so I guess it may not fit the "forgettable" part..

Props to Abe Vigoda.

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0061257/

Series about two DJs. Mainly notable for featuring a pre-Laugh-In Goldie Hawn in a supporting role. (To my surprise, it seems to be available on DVD.)

An Eddie Murphy project that not even claymation could save.

David Lynch's demented sitcom about early television. Just too weird, ABC didn't even broadcast all the episodes. Those that WERE aired, I have on tape, of course.

all the Canucks are going to hate me for that reminder.

:hide:

Hosted by "Joey" from "Full House." I remember for two or three years of my childhood when "TGIF" on ABC was can't miss-TV. You had all of the classics: "Full House", "Family Matters", "Perfect Strangers", and then that last slot that usually had some show that never quite took off. (I think "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" eventually made it into that slot and was fairly successful.) One of the failed shows from that slot was this sort of variation on "America's Funniest Home Videos" called "America's Funniest People." For a while there, all ABC needed was John Stamos to host his own "funniest" show and they would have had the "Men of Full House" comedy trifecta going. :scared:

ON EDIT: I probably should have read the title of the thread closer, as this show wasn't a sitcom. It was a forgotten and forgettable TV show, though, so that should at least count for something, right?

Close enough.

Or, some series based on movies like: "Look Who's Talking", "Private Benjamin", "Ferris Beuler's Day Off" (not to be confused with the clone "Parker Lewis Can't Lose"), there was even "Animal House".

also known as "Making a Living" for a time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_a_Living_(1980_TV_series)

Ick.

I think this starred Ted Knight as a cartoonist. I saw a few episodes in the 80's. I believe it came on after Family Ties. Some other forgettable sitcoms include Full House, One Day at a Time, and AfterMash. AfterMash was particularly bad and lasted only a few episodes.

Only thing I remember was the mayor's catch phrase was "Handle it, handle it.."

From the early 70's. Didn't last very long.

A short lived sitcom from the 90's. Written by Alan Ball (before "Six Feet Under")

I liked it. No one else did. :-(

And "Amen".

Dabney Coleman as a washed up sports writer....

but Occasional Wife!

The Rob Schneider and Ron Eldard dud.
