The Wonder Years was awesome -- and reminds me of a time when Neil Patrick Harris was totally unavailable, in Doogie Howser, M.D. which I loved.

[Use Of Weapons]

There are a couple of cult Chris Morris shows which I have the DVDs of: The Day Today and Brasseye. Still epically awesome and hilarious, especially Brasseye's paedophilia special And a quick mention of KYTV, which I loved.

[rhulad]

I have never watched Doogie Howser. I keep thinking that I should. Another good one was Dinosaurs, although I'm not sure how well it has aged since I haven't seen an episode since they aired.

[rhulad]

Oh and for all us Canadians, Degrassi Junior High. The original series, none of that next gen bullcrap.

[Khellendros]

Saved By The Bell!!

[Abyss]

Gah! it's Golden Oldies, not Cheesy Cliche Ridden Oldies.

[Use Of Weapons]

What was that Aussie teen soap, with Alex Dimitriades? *Googles* Heartbreak High! That was an awesome show.

[Khellendros]

Two more shows I maybe shouldn't admit to thinking were classics:

Clarissa Explains It All.

And the superior Melissa Joan Hart series, Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

Whoa, you paid for Small Wonder on DVD? You are a rare specimen indeed.

Some of those corny 80s family sitcoms hold up surprisingly well. Although, the male chauvinism sticks out like a sore thumb.

I'm still hoping for a DVD release of Out Of This World, starring Maureen Flannigan as a half-alien teenager who could freeze time when she touched her index fingers together.

The older guy who starred in that was Doug McClure, who was the influence for Troy McClure on Simpsons. I used to love the crap out of it. It was horrible. Does anyone remember "They Came From Outer Space?"

Here is a link: here is the link I like all the sex references. It came on at like 1:30 pm on saturdays, i think. right after cartoons.

I loved Out Of This World! The theme song was Swinging On A Star -- great song! And yeah, I only ever knew Troy McClure from the Simpsons from that show, though I've seen Doug McClure on a few other things since then.

[Kruppe's snacky cakes]

That bit of Simpsons trivia is interesting. I hadn't heard that one.

No, I don't remember "They Came From Outer Space?" Judging by the video clip, I'm glad of that.

As long as we're on the subject of retro Saturday morning television, my holy grail of DVD releases would have to be the ABC Weekend Special. My childhood in a time capsule... The Secret World of Og, The Dog Days of Arthur Cane, The Amazing Bunjee Venture, etc. etc. Unfortunately, rights to the individual episodes are owned by multiple studios, so the "how would we divvy up the profits?" legal question will probably kill this dream.

Holy crap, I do remember that. Largely because the longish haired guy in it was also a staple of the godawful movies they'd show on USA Up All Night....the kind of stuff where he'd be a ski instructor to various 80s-style babes, or a beach bum, or a guy who worked at a hotel pool during spring break season.

I totally remember that. THat guy was always at the center of some mischief.

One of the greatest movies ever was witnessed by myself and my brothers onUSA Up All Night. It was called Getting Lucky. If you love campy bad shit, anywhere near as much as me, try to get your hands on that. Its a classic of horribvle trash crap.

[worry]

I might have actually seen that, once upon a time. But it's funny you should bring that up, because there's a somewhat similar movie starring the very same guy from They Came From Outer Space, called Miracle Beach, but instead of a leprechaun it's a genie (played by Ami Dolenz).

Also, the girl from Getting Lucky looks like a cross between Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart. But the acting chops of only one of them, I'll let you guess which.

[Spoilsport Stonny]

Wort, you done real good. Real good. Treat yerself to a cigarette. I' was up all night watching shitty movies. THe last 10 minutes of Getting Lucky is the best thing ever. By best I mean worst.
