'Marblehead Manor' was shockingly bad, and ran for one season.
Does anyone remember "Caroline and the City", which I think only got two of its seasons shown on Channel 4?
I also used to like watching...I think it was called...Evening Shade
Oh and I also liked the sitcom which I think was called something like Phenom (sorry, I'm useless with remembering names of programmes) which was about a tennis protege and her divorced mother used to flirt a lot with William Devane from Knots Landing who played her tennis coach
The 5 Mrs Buchanans. It aired in the US during the 1994-95 season, for 17 episodes. All 17 episodes can be watched on YouTube, with each episode being divided into three parts.:)
hardly forgotten though. Well, the first one certainly isn't. The one where Michael J. Fox left made me cry like a baby.
Undeservedly forgotten: Newhart (brilliant MTM sitcom which, like Family Ties, Channel 4 never got to the end of).
70s Sitcom set in Mel's Diner with Flo "Kiss my grits'.
Shown late afternoons in the early/mid 80s.
I also loved Dream On - because it was soooooooooooooooo naughty to a 12-year old, but it was actually very clever and funny. The secretary to Martin (think that was his name) was so fabulously abrasive and straight-talking, made funnier by her diminutive stature and voice.
Head Of The Class featured a pre-Mike Tyson Robin Givens and Billy Connolly starred in later episodes.
Best Of The West was a comedy western. The only bits I can remember is the townsfolk trying to sing 'Rock Of Ages' and just singing that over and over as they didn't know the actual words, and an episode where they were trying to get the railroad to come near their town. For some reason this involved a scene where they pretended and upturned chair was the front of a train and congo-ed round the saloon.
Both were on BBC 1 and not Channel 4.
I loved Phenom, with Coach Lou, and the younger sister who was really sarcastic and the older brother who was a depressive. It was one of better sitcoms in that slot and yet seemed to disappear without a trace.
Also starred Berta out of Two & A Half Men. In one ep, her husband wrote her a Coutry & Western love song called 'Love Handles' (sample lyric 'Skinny gilrs can't hold a candle, to my love hnadles'.
And good mention for 'Newhart' further up the thread. That was an axcellent show. 'I'm Larry. This is my brother Daryl and this is my other brother Daryl.'
Now being re-shown on Fiver. Channel 176 on Sky. It's on every tea time.
I love Gillian Bach as Irene. She's hilarious.
'Step By Step', usually showed on ITV in the 9.30 am slot, IIRC.
It also starred the daughter out of 'My Two Dads.'
And, yes, I have wasted my life.
