Why is it that the shows I really like get cancelled? I loved 'Sports Night'--gone after 2 seasons. ''KRP'? Like the wind... And now 'Firefly'. Grr!!! At least Babylon 5 eeked out the 5 seasons that jms wanted, and MASH got its 11. But it seems as (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Yeah!! And what about 'Other World'? I never did find out how they got back. 'Automan'? Always loved those 90 degree turns. 'Sledgehammer'? Now there was a classic police show if I ever saw one. :) -H. (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Does anyone remember the show 'Oops!' ? Now that was an absurd and altogether hilarious comedy. Yes, they always cancel the good shows. -Mike Petrucelli (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Ha! Yup!- Cursor was cool-making anything the script, er Automan, called for! Didn't Automan rate himself an '11' on a scale of 10? (like his inventor, I think) (...) I thought 'Sledgehammer' was wicked funny! (I was younger then too, so I'd (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) SNIP (...) Was 'Oops' the one on Fox network that took place in a post-nuclear world with all the charcters having a streak of gray hair? I think I remember a rude businessman character. Jeff (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Ok, yes I agree some good shows got cancelled. But I have to ask ya'll, I'm trying to remember an old 80s scifi series. It had a guy who could be digitized, like tron. He had a car that looked wire traced and his 'sidekick' was a dot. It was a (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I agree. Dr Who still has so much potential - especially in the mini series type format - rather than the "50 minutes to save the universe" approach shows use these days. BTW: was the fox movie not supposed to be a pilot? Getting us back (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I think that was "Automan" that was mentioned earlier in this thread. Was one of my favorite shows as well... though all I really remember is the hero saying "Cursor..." and the dot would create whatever was needed. :) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I used to like Sledge Hammer! a whole heck of a lot. I have one of the videotapes back home. It had some sparkles and some real groans, but it was generally pretty interesting. Come to think of it, I liked it for the same reason I like "Aqua (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
