At my first worldcon in Atlanta, I saw a flyer for a fanzine for The Phoenix (I too remember this show). It was then that I realized that any show no matter how dumb or silly had a devoted fan base out there somewhere. I can't believe nobody has mentioned <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083466/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9cG9saWNlIHNxdWFkfGZ0PTF8bXg9MjB8bG09NTAwfGNvPTF8aHRtbD0xfG5tPTE_;fc=2;ft=23;fm=1" target="_blank">Police Squad!</a> Only lasted 6 episodes, yet still one of the funniest things ever on TV.I also mourn the loss of Dead Like Me. Damm you Showtime! Damm You!<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0287602/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9b2Rlc3N5IDV8ZnQ9MXxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8Y289MXxodG1sPTF8bm09MQ__;fc=7;ft=23;fm=1" target="_blank">Odyssey 5</a> Another casualty from Showtime. A great little show from Manny Coto who almost managed to make the last season of Enterprise worthwhile. For those of you wondering why this and Dead Like Me got cancelled, from what I've been able to put together on the Net, they were pet projects of the previous head of programing and when the new guy came in, well you can figure it out. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0313652/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9U3RyYW5nZXxmdD0xfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=3;ft=5;fm=1" target="_blank">Strange</a> Starred Richard Coyle (Jeff "I've got too many legs" from the Original Coupling) as a defrocked priest who battles demons and Cannon Black (Ian Richardson - House of Cards). Crusade - What other TV show would have had alien porn on it? I can't imagine them ever even mentioning pornography on any Trek show, never mind "Snow White and the Seven Pak'Mra".Quark - Ah, I loved that show back in the day.Jack of All Trades & Brisco County Jr. - I love Bruce Campbell and Jack of All Trades had one of the BEST Theme songs ever. I don't mourn the loss of the Tick Live action show. It just didn't work as well as the cartoon did. I think a large part of the problem was that when you spend 18 hrs a day in a form fitting neopreme suit sweating your ass off under hot studio lights, its hard to capture The Tick's love of life. He LOVES being a superhero. He LOVES fighting crime. That was absent for me in Patrick Warburton's performance, though he did a great job capturing the Tick's bafflement and confusion.Young Indiana Jones - The parts with the child Indy were generally forgetable, but the teen Indy (starring Sean Patrick Flannery - Now on The Dead Zone) were terrific! It is coming out on DVD I think sometime before christmas. They did such a marvelous job of bringing history to life and showing the events and people who shaped our century. The episode on the trench warfare in WWI captured the horror of war better than anything I've ever seen.</blockquote>
