TV shows that aren't on anymore (not counting Roku, etc.) that you wish were still on.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

I get my TV over the air. No Roku or equivalent, at least not yet.

I used to love Heartland. It was Beverly Hills 20210, but with in Alberta, and with horses.re

Back in the '90s, there was a wonderful show called Beauty and the Beast. I miss that too.

[redstatebluegirl]

1. West Wing hands down.

[SCantiGOP]

5. Yeah, but kind of hard to explain how Bartlett stayed in office for 5 terms

I would also like for the original Star Trek to be around, but the main story line would have to include that a universal contagion had killed everyone under 85.

[Lochloosa]

18. Still on Netflix

[Aristus]

35. Without question.

All-time best TV series.

[Ohiogal]

2. Aside from my favorite comedies

All in the Family, Bob Newhart, and the Mary Tyler Moore show ....

I miss Northern Exposure. I thought they were going to do a reboot of it. Been waiting!

[wnylib]

64. Wonder what an updated All in the Family

would look like today.

Northern Exposure had some of the most interesting characters and character interactions on TV. My favorite was the doc's receptionist, Marilyn.

[Ohiogal]

65. Did you see

The AITF single episode re- boot last year with Woody Harrelson playing Archie? I had mixed views on it.

Oh there were so many good characters on NE and I loved Marilyn the queen of droll!

[wnylib]

66. No, did not see it.

That was a perfect summary of Marilyn, and the reason why she was my favorite.

[Va Lefty]

3. A few that ended too soon

WKRP
Dead Like Me
NYPD Blue
Veronica Mars

[mahatmakanejeeves]

4. "Dead Like Me" shows up on the over-the-air TV on occasion.

I haven't seen it in a few months. Funny show.

[Chemisse]

53. That was great. n/t

[genxlib]

6. We loved Dead Like Me

In went away too soon

[mahatmakanejeeves]

62. Heroes & Icons runs NYPD Blue at 1:00 a.m. on DC-area channel 20.3 in northern Virginia.

H&I TV Network

NYPD BLUE

[Sherman A1]

[Walleye]

15. Yes. His niece was Penny? Loved those shows with strong female characters

Like Annie Oakley

[DeminPennswoods]

41. brought to you by

Nabisco. IIRC, the logo would fly onto the box.

[Sherman A1]

46. It was indeed

Good memory!

[DeminPennswoods]

48. Sky King was a unique show

There weren't many shows centered around aviation then or now. Airwolf would be the only other one I can recall off the top of my head.

It was one of my favorite shows.

[Sherman A1]

50. It was a unique show

The others centered around aviation that come to mind are of that same era, The Whirlybirds and RipCord. It was a time when there were actually interesting ideas being tried as opposed to just another cop show or version of a cop show which we have today.

[area51]

10. Firefly,

Best gorram series in the 'Verse.

[jls4561]

20. Firefly was my first choice also.

[First Speaker]

16. A 90s show called "Nowhere Man" that ended on a cliffhanger...

...I've always wanted to know just who the hell Thomas Veil really was...

[csziggy]

25. There was a 60s show like that called Coronet Blue

Preview of the Jason Bourne series of movies.

Plot details

Frank Converse's character (called "Gigot" in the first episode), is told by a woman and two men that they know what he is up to, after which they drug him and dump him in the river. He manages to pull himself ashore and the only words he says are "Coronet Blue". One visual clue as to where Converse's character got that phrase from was a sign on a nightclub he was in immediately before he was attacked: "The Blue Coronet". Suffering from amnesia due to the effects of the drug, he soon discovers that he has been targeted for assassination by the same mysterious group of killers. He adopts the name "Michael Alden," a combination of the name of his doctor and the name of the hospital where he was taken to recover. Over the remaining episodes he attempts to discover his identity and the identities of his assailants, whom he refers to as "Greybeards". The series ended before the solution to these mysteries was revealed, but series creator Larry Cohen later told his biographer:

"The actual secret is that Converse was not really an American at all. He was a Russian who had been trained to appear like an American and was sent to the U.S. as a spy. He belonged to a spy unit called 'Coronet Blue.' He decided to defect, so the Russians tried to kill him before he could give away the identities of the other Soviet agents. And nobody could really identify him because he didn't exist as an American. Coronet Blue was actually an outgrowth of 'The Traitor' episode of The Defenders."[1]

[in2herbs]

21. I am addicted to Heartland. Where I live, and only with a TV antenna, I watch

Heartland for 4 straight hours M-F, 2 hours on Sa, and 3 hours on Sunday. But I do miss Leverage.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

22. Oh, I miss it. It was on every night, at 8:00 p.m. or so.

I wish they'd bring it back. It was my minimum daily allowance of Canadian content.

What's Leverage?

[in2herbs]

47. Leverage starred Timothy Hutton and three others who robbed from the rich and gave to the

poor. Kind of a little man vs. corporate greed theme. It was very well done, subtle comedy and not the sloppy predictable type of shows that are on TV. It hasn't been in production for quite a few years. You can google Leverage and watch trailers to get an idea.

The one thing I like about both shows is that the women are portrayed as strong and empowered.

[rurallib]

23. A couple of short time shows

Eerie, Indiana and
Ellery Queen

[mahatmakanejeeves]

24. Eerie, Indiana. Wonderful show. I was looking it up recently for some unknown reason.

Eerie, Indiana

[csziggy]

26. Eerie, Indiana is on one of the streaming channels

I watched it last summer - still loads of fun.

[LonePirate]

27. Fringe and Cougar Town

[The Magistrate]

28. Rather Liked 'Kings' Sir

The first place Al Swearingen went after Deadwood closed down. Very interesting concept, sort of modeled on the biblical rivalry between Saul and David. Not sure it lasted even one full season, but I thought it was great....

[targetpractice]

44. Indeed, The Magistrate...

I posted this down thread, because I didn't see your mention... (Glad you are back here, BTW)...

A binge recommendation for everybody during these times... "Kings" from 2009... Starring Ian McShane, Sebastian Stan, and many others. This was an early HD show on NBC, before its time.... If it were an HBO offering, it would have many seasons by now... "Kings" was a modern retelling of the biblical story of David, set in an alternate universe NYC, called "Shiloh"...

Anyway... This show is sublime... The art direction is perfect... The score is amazing... The dialogue is pure poetry... Every word spoken is crafted and delivered meticulously and intentionally... And, if you've ever lived NYC you will appreciate the location shots... Columbus Circle, the Apthorp Hotel, etc.

Plus it has one of the absolute best courtroom drama scenes ever...

Unfortunately, NBC didn't market this show at all, and decided to bury it from the get-go because of the religious overtones. A shame, but the first season has a very satisfying ending after only 13 episodes. I am not religious at all, but this story is worth watching.

You can watch "Kings" on iTunes or the NBC streaming app. I haven't been able to find an official trailer, but this fan trailer gives a taste...

[DaBronx]

29. Blast from the past....

Anyone remember Beat the Clock?

[smirkymonkey]

36. Park Avenue 666

A very short lived show w/ a supernatural story line. I loved it, but it ended abruptly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/666_Park_Avenue

666 Park Avenue focuses on Jane Van Veen (Rachael Taylor) and her partner Henry Martin (Dave Annable), the new co-managers of the Drake residential hotel, located at 999 Park Avenue. The Drake is owned by mysterious billionaire couple Gavin (Terry O'Quinn) and Olivia Doran (Vanessa Williams). The plot follows both Jane and Henry, and the other residents of the Drake who live in the shadow of the dark supernatural forces of the Drake and its owner.[

[samnsara]

54. that was GOOD!!

...so I guess True Blood in one I would like to watch again..

[smirkymonkey]

57. I know! I love that kind of stuff!

I'm not even a big TV watcher, but that show was so out of the ordinary, that I really got addicted to it and then they just cut it off abruptly with no warning.

[rownesheck]

37. Seinfeld

and Freaks and Geeks. Oh, and The IT Crowd!

[Chemisse]

55. I still miss Seinfeld. n/t

[tblue37]

38. Eli Stone. nt

[DeminPennswoods]

42. American Dreams

that dealt with the cultural change as Americans moved from the 50s ideals to the 60s.

[skypilot]

60. I always felt as though...

...I was the only person watching that show. I was really disappointed when it was cancelled. It was kinda "MadMen" before there was "MadMen".

[DeminPennswoods]

63. When it was moved to Wed

from Sunday, it couldn't sustain it's audience.

[MissB]

45. Firefly!

Also Dark Angel starring Jessica Alba.

[DeminPennswoods]
