Do you mean Chicago Code?

Yeah lol,Chicago Code. Another good show that imo actually has moved forward almost every episode.

Re: the suggestion of the Wonder Years. Awesome show. Wish they could afford the licensing of the music to put it on Blu Ray or DVD, but the actors pretty much grew out of the roles by the end. Winnie would have had to be the college vixen if they continued...

I wonder how Glee does it.

It's a hit show ( i have never watched it and am proud of that) so they have advertisers that are throwing money at fox to showcase thier product on the show or in commercials.

You may be in luck, looks like The Event may get picked up by Direct TV, sort of like how they did it with Friday Night Lights.

The difference with Glee is that they before the first episode was even written they knew that if the show was made that it would end up on DVD. So when they are negotiating fees the music rights they can do it in advance for the rights for television broadcast and DVD release. If they can’t afford the songs they want they just pick something else. With The Wonder Years, no one thought back in 1988 that the songs they were using might end up in a different format as part of a dvd package of a complete season. So they only negotiated fees for the rights for television broadcast. Now if they want to release the dvd’s they pretty much have to negotiate after the fact, and the songwriters and artists can basically name their price and if the producers don’t like it they are pretty much stuck.

Deadwood

The only show in my opinion that ever rivaled Sopranos.

I think if Deadwood had gone for 4 or 5 seasons it probably would have been better. I mean it is debatable as to which show had the better writing, but I think Deadwood had the stronger cast. I mean the leads for both shows are pretty much equal, with Gandolfini and Falco being excellent in their roles, and McShane and Olyphant. But it is with the supporting cast that Deadwood is much better than The Sopranos. I mean John Hawkes, Dayton Callie and Molly Parker were all excellent in their roles, where as most of the mob guys on the sopranos were just pretty good in their pretty standard roles.

Mr Show with Bob and David

imo by far the best comedy stuff ever and the show kept getting better and better. Complete genius. They had a lot more episodes in them.

As you can tell by my avatar, I'm a fan too.

It just didn't get ratings though, so I understand the cancellation. I used to watch it in high school, and I never met another person who had ever seen or heard of the show until around 2002 or so. It wasn't popular during it's original run but became a cult hit afterward.

In HBO's defense, they did try to promote the hell out of it, and during the final season even put it on the same night as Sex And The City to try and get it to a wider audience (although maybe not the right one) to get the ratings up.

Remember when FOX did a That 80's show that sucked major ass

I liked Smith it didn't make a whole season but i really enjoyed it. But I like Ray Liota i think he plays a great badass character.

Wow....That 80's Show......threw out a period related cliche at a rate of about 4 a minute....tried way, way too hard

I love that episode.

I love MST3K, but it was on for 11 years. It was cancelled too soon for our tastes, but it was on for a long time.

By the way, I'm watching "Werewolf" as I type this. That's a great episode too.

yeah true. Didn't seem like it was on for 11 years though. Felt more like 5 or 6. Then again I haven't seen every episode and got into MST3K in the mid-later years.

One of the local theaters near me palys MST3K episodes about every other month. The other night they had The Horrors Of Spider Island

I didn't like that episode too much.

My favorites are:

1. The Final Sacrifice
2. Zombie Nightmare
3. Space Mutiny
4. Hobgoblins
5. A Touch Of Satan
6. Laserblast
7. Werewolf
8. Mitchell
9. Warrior Of The Lost World
10. Boggy Creek II: And The Legend Continues

As you can tell I'm a bigger Mike fan than Joel.
