Has anyone mentioned Howie Mandel's brief series, Good Grief, from 1990? I used to like it. I mean, what's not to like about a sitcom set in a funeral home?

Hmm.. never heard of that one!  What a great idea.. wonder why it didn't fly?

"Lottery", ABC 1983-84
A series about an IRS agent and a representative of Ireland's Intersweep Lottery giving away millions of dollars to average people.  I remember this show quite well and liked it quite a bit.  It fit the era of big-money Reaganomics '80s to a tee.

Well, both shows ran for 3 seasons, but not many people talk about either show too often.  They'll fit.

Here's a kid show that didn't last long, had stupid cartoons and shows (Captain Marvel was okay) and was hosted by Charles Nelson Reilly.

Grady (1975), a very short-lived Sandford and Son spinoff.

12 episodes of great gobbily goodness.

The truly awful All in the Family spinoff Gloria, featuring a Meathead-less Gloria and Joey living in rural New York.

Gloria worked for veterinarian Burgess Meredeth and so spent a lot of the time covered in poop.

Ozzymandias speaks: This one was always mentioned in TV trivia books when I was a kid. After seeing the opening on You Tube, I'd like to see more of Coronet Blue.

Dumb southern po-leece comedy: Carter Country, late '70s.  Victor French was in it.

Here's one that most people probably down even remember: Aliens in the Family.  Curiously enough, Hayden Panettiere (Cheerleader from Heroes, Kairi's voice from Kingdom Hearts, and Dot from A Bug's Life) got her start here in a small cameo!

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

I have very vague recollections of that show, although I have on occasion quoted the mayor. Strikes me as really weird that they'd zing the president right in the title for no reason other than it was set in rural Georgia, but it was the 70s.

Here's one from the 80s, when technology really started developing rapidly, and people believed any smart kid with an Apple II and a 300-baud acoustic coupler could do just about anything.

There was also Buck Henry's "Captain Nice" w/ William Daniels and Alice Ghostley about that same time. The only memory I have of that show is how Captain Nice got his name.
Because his real name was Carter Nash,  he had a belt buckle with the initials CN on it, and when someone saw the initials on his belt buckle, Captain Nice had to come up with an alias with the same initials, thus Captain Nice.

Darn! But I missed those old TV shows, unsuccessful or not.

Oh man, I wish I could remember the name of this one. There was a godawful short-lived show from the early 80's about a teenager who meets the wizard Merlin. Apparently, Merlin, being immortal has still been alive since the time of King Arthur, living in secrecy. He meets his high school dude and divulges his secret, taking the kid under his wing as an apprentice. I'm not joking, that was the premise. I even remember the kid had an unbelievably cliche wisecracking best friend.

Does anyone remember the name of this show? It was soooooooo bad.
