What Show Have You Always Wanted To See But Can't? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Shine · 08-22-2005, 09:00 PM

Perhaps this thread belongs on the General Board, but I posted it here because this question applys to any type of show not just sitcoms. The question is what show have you always wanted to see but can't, not simply haven't, but can't?

The show I have most wanted to see for a few years now is The L Word. I'm a big fan of Jennifer Beals and I like shows and movies that push the envelope a little. I think too many television shows and movies play it safe. The L Word seems to me to be one that doesn't. The reason I have never seen this show is because I don't have Showtime or whatever channel it is on. I know that it is out on DVD, but I WOULD NEVER buy a show on DVD that I have not seen.

The New Dick Van Dyke Show- Season 3. I didn't have Goodlife when it was on there and now I can't get ahold of anyone who taped it.

And a large handfull of individual episodes of shows that guest starred so-and-so that I have never seen anywhere.

You would think, wouldn't you? However, the five Blockbusters near my house only rent Alias, Sex and the City and The Sorpranos. I even stopped in a Blockbuster that was about 45 minutes from where I live...same deal.

I wasn't able to watch Hart to Hart, My Three Sons, The Muppet Show when they were on Hallmark. Back then I only got the channel in the mornings, Midnight to 9:00 AM on weekdays and Midnight to Noon on weekends. The Muppet Show has been taken care of as will Hart to Hart later this month.

One show that I absolutely want to see is Mission: Impossible, the one from the 1960s. It has never been on TV here. It's aired in TV Land Canada.

Another show is The Fugitive. I could have watched it when it was on TV Land but it wasn't until after they stopped airing it that I realized what I was missing.

Actually, FX aired Mission Impossible back in 1996 at the sametime that the movie came out. So then people could comment on how the movie and the show were nothing alike.

I didn't get FX until much later. That was in the early 2000s.

dawsongirl · 08-22-2005, 09:25 PM

Oh yeah...and the 2000 remake of the Fugitive.

Would you believe Alice and Facts of Life?

I've had Nickelodeon/N@N and TV Land since they were both born as channels in 1985 and 1996, respectively. My family had cable in the 80's, so we were able to get Nickelodeon/N@N back then. Ditto for TV Land.

I was a HEAVY watcher of both channels when I was growing up and VERY strangely enough, I have ABSOLUTELY no memory of watching either when they aired on N@N/TV Land. It's like I fell over, suffered amnesia and regained my memory. I remember The Jeffersons, Silver Spoon, Phyllis, Rhoda, Taxi, etc. all being on N@N at one point but FOL was on N@N from 2000 to 2001, a time period where I obsessively watched N@N and suffice it to say, no memory.

Whew...I feel better now. Surely I cannot be the only 20 year old here who has never caught a single rerun of FOL.

seventies_sitcoms · 08-22-2005, 09:30 PM

The biggest show right now I want to see but can't because nobody has played it for years is One Day At A Time.

Don't feel bad. I'm 29 and I have never seen The Facts of Life, except for maybe once or twice.
