Your Go-To Comfort Food (1 Viewer)

Yeah, after years of the Super Space Theater movie versions, the WPIX 1999 runs late at night were amazing. And watching the first season that late was actually creepy! Some episodes really dipped into horror.

Yeah, after years of the Super Space Theater movie versions, the WPIX 1999 runs late at night were amazing. And watching the first season that late was actually creepy! Some episodes really dipped into horror.

I also remember how bad some of WPIX's 16mm prints of that show were bad, also. A couple years after seeing it on the dish, I later acquired a VHS copy of the WPIX late-night showing of "End of Eternity." Some of the scenes in that were shockingly dirty, but watching a really dirty, rough-looking film print after midnight in a pitch-dark room, it can look a lot spookier than watching a pristine, dirt-free print.

I only got to see a couple of the Year One episodes during that WPIX run. Most of what I got to see was Year Two. I probably didn't get to watch it much, sinct it was on after midnight and (apart from Friday) on school nights.

It wasn't until I got my first VCR, an after-school job, and exposure to the 'tape trading' scene that I finally got to see the whole 48-episode run (we're talking 1986-1987).

Excellent topic, Gary!

Good to see you back round these parts, Gary! Fun question, and there's no doubt that we could all use some "comfort food" TV these days.

Thanks guys. That was my point. We need some comfort food, and I love many of the choices made.


Gary "anything that relaxes me and puts me in a good mood works as comfort food TVonDVD" O.

My choices kind of ebb and flow. Since 2016, I've been doing the Dark Shadows "50 years ago today" schedule, so every weeknight ends for me with an episode. I've also been working my way thru Gunsmoke and the original Dallas. Just about any sitcom will also do.

Pretty much cheesy 80's sitcoms do it for me. Specifically Gimme A Break and Mr Belvedere.

Watching the 7th season of Petticoat Junction on ME TV recently has pushed that one higher up on the list as well. I had forgotten how much that show had started to swing back up in that final season.

Gary "it's such a shame we'll never have those last four seasons remastered and complete on DVD" O.

my comfort food is definitely this vegan fettuccine alfredo pasta

Sort of ironic since it deals with crime, which is not calming, but either original Law & Order and/or Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

I can immerse myself in the fake crimes knowing - at least on CI - the bad guys will get what they deserve, etc.
