I'd love to hear David Caruso sing a li'l jingle made entirely of bad puns and odes to sunglasses.

A Horatio Caine musical number. That's great. Except that viewers would probably start channel surfing as he spent half the episode singing his song in a slow monotone with lots of long pauses. TeddyR

There was a TV series based on Logan's Run. It was pretty cheesy but I enjoyed it. There was also a cartoon version of Back to the Future that was entertaining.

There was also a short-lived cartoon of The Karate Kid.  A couple other cartoons that disappeared pretty quickly (albeit much older) were "Motormouse and Autocat" and "Fraidy Cat".  And a live-action show with cartoons, which ripped off The Banana Splits (and was also done by Hanna-Barbera) was The Skatebirds.  Terrible, but I kinda enjoyed the Robonic Stooges.

Curse you a thousand times for reminding me of this!  (I used to watch it, too, but I had completely forgotten about it . . . UNTIL NOW!  Hatred)

Oh man, the Robonic Stooges. That's an example of a weird show seen so briefly and so long ago, I could almost believe I imagined it. One of the truly bizarre combinations of things deemed popular with kids at the time. Hanna-Barbera, in the 70s and early 80s, was great for throwing ideas in the Brundlefly Machine and seeing what comes out.

You know, it's actually better than I remembered. Of course, it looks and sounds like every other HB cartoon of the time, so that figures.

There used to be a show called Catwalk in the mid 90s that starred a pre-fame Neve Campbell. Couldn't find a clip of it, but I remember it used to be about a band (called Catwalk, natch) trying to make it big.

And don't forget Dusty's Trail, which was Gilligan's Island set in the Old West. It even starred Bob Denver.

Not only do I remember watching this show, but I remember being upset when it was canceled (after a very short run).  Someone edited together a few episodes and released it on videotape as THE WACKIEST WAGON TRAIN IN THE WEST (trying to pass it off as a feature film).  Imagine renting THAT one.

Did anyone mention DELTA HOUSE (which was a very short-lived series based on ANIMAL HOUSE)?  Sorry if I missed it among all these great memories . . .

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
