You forgot The Rocky Horror Picture Show. :)

A friend and I at some point came to the conclusion that the difference between us when it came to both movies and TV was that she liked ones that made her feel good, while I liked ones that made me feel more. There are good shows and bad shows in every decade. Personally, I prefer both 50s/60s...

When I was a tad, at the time that Zorro was airing on TV, I had to go to the hospital for a hernia operation. My mother stayed in the room overnight with me (pre- and post-surgery) and liked to tell the story about giving me a Walt Disney Zorro picture puzzle to work on while I was there. Prior...

Yup. Even more (relatively) recently, when the typical season dropped to 22 episodes, it meant a series was syndication-ready after three seasons. By well into the 90s, it was bumped up to 88 episodes (4 seasons). By the early Aughties, it was up to 100.

Back in the day, series needed only 65 episodes to be syndication-ready. With 65 episodes, a show that was stripped for syndication (run five days a week) would have enough episodes for 13 weeks (one quarter-year).

The Fiona Dourif (daughter of Brad) character, Bart, is one of my GOAT TV characters. My wife and I still paraphrase her line, "There are two Kens?!?!?!" on occasion.

Thought of another: Boomtown (2002-2003), a crime drama with Donnie Wahlberg, Mykelti Williamson, and Neal McDonough. First season ran 18 episodes. It was renewed for a second season, but that only ran another six episodes. It was annoying that while there was a Season 1 DVD set, they never...

Another show that I don't think has been mentioned: NBC's Emerald City. Oz purists would probably recoil in horror, but my wife and I thought it was a fascinating re-imagining of Baum's concepts.

Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and Pushing Daisies were all the brain-children of Bryan Fuller, one of my Gods of Television. And they're all interconnected.

I had hoped that at some time during the long run of The Big Bang Theory that it would've been revealed that Bernadette went to work for Veridian Dynamics. It just seemed right that those two shows would be set in the same universe. Alas, it was not to be. To this day, my wife and I point out...

I should've mentioned Wonderfalls. At least Dead Like Me and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries both got a sequel movie.

There are a lot of shows that could've used more seasons. In addition to some already mentioned, I'd add these: Strange Luck (Fox, 1995), which threw in a reference to Fox Mulder as someone that protagonist Chance Harper needed to get in touch with, just as the show was being cancelled...

I couldn't disagree with you guys more. To me, Atlantis was just an SG-1 wannabe. Not that it was bad, as it was more than watchable, had some enjoyable characters/cast-members (and some that were...not so much). Stargate Universe was trying to be something different than the previous two,, and...
