EZ Streets (1996) CBS pulled the rug out from under this great show with the amazing Celtic soundtrack after a mere 8 episodes.

Greetings from Williamsburg, if you happen to stumble back to this thread. Looks like ya had a 6-year hiatus.

For me:

Off Centre
Undeclared
Saved By the Bell: The College Years
Vanished
(I really liked the conspiracy/secret artifact angle it wanted to take but sucked at since it's ratings were so bad and only "finished" it online)

Wow, I thought I was the only one who loved and even remembered this show. I still have several episodes on VHS. Catherine Hicks is so hot!

jPoD_TGN 01-11-08 01:34 PM

I think I'm the only person on earth who watched Kidnapped. It was a really good show.

Lateralus 01-11-08 02:20 PM

Arrested Development When Fox cancelled it I was CRUSHED!

creekdipper 01-12-08 03:31 AM

Is this a DVD Talk record for oldest thread to be resurrected?????

BTW, I'm not going back through all the 2001 posts to see if I posted back then, so I'll throw in a few of our favorites that died untimely deaths:

FRANK'S PLACE
THE DAYS & NIGHTS OF MOLLY DODD
CARNIVALE
????(can't remember the name of Julia Dreyfuss's show before "Old Christine")
JERICHO (1960's, not the new one)
GROSS POINTE (or GROSSE POINT...never sure about the spelling)
THEN CAME BRONSON
THE INVADERS
THE DAKOTAS
EERIE, INDIANA
ADVENTURES OF BRISCO COUNTY, JR
YOUNG INDIANA JONES CHRONICLES
JUDD FOR THE DEFENSE
NIGHT GALLERY
AMAZING STORIES
CIMMARON STRIP
THE TICK
THE FLASH
GUNSMOKE (just kidding...I think 20 years was enough)

I'm sure there are many others (for instance, there was an interesting old western...called The Outcasts, I think...that featured Don Murray as a former Confederate who was somewhat of a racist who became bounty-hunting partners with an ex-slave). It was somewhat gimmicky (kind of a cheap western knockoff of The Defiant Ones) but had that quirky appeal. Similarly,there are lots of shows we remember fondly that may not have been classic television but still appealed to us on some personal level.

1. Arrested Development
2. Stella
3. The Jake Effect
3. Clerks
4. Mystery Science Theater 3000

In a related note, I wish "The Jake Effect", "Karen Sisco" and "Tremors" would stop being no-shows on DVD.
