Default I miss shows like....
Know any shows that are no longer in syndication or reruns?

Here's some of my old favorites that I can't see anymore because either they are not provided by my cable company, or they no longer show in reruns:

Small Wonder - a show about a little "girl" who was actually a robot
227 - a show that took place in an apartment complex
Alice - a show that took place in a diner "Mel, Kiss my Grits!"
Perfect Strangers - a show about a foreigner and his American roommate
Kate and Alley - a show about two best freinds
Mamma's Family - a show about rural life with a matriarch "Mamma" Thelma Harper

These shows will be missed by me, even though I can still buy them if I like on dvd (some but not all) or itunes, they really make me long for the good old days. Here you can discuss your favorite old shows that you can't see anymore and why you miss them. Please don't just list them, but actually take some time to discuss them, thanks.

Well.. some are a bit embrassing but I still love 'em

Boy Meets World, Abc Family dropped this :/ so did Disney Channel.. but they butchered a lot of "touchy" content, still it was the best thing on there and my favorite seasons aren't on dvd.

Rugrats - They have this but no way am I waking up a 2:00 in the morning to watch this.

Catdog - Unforgettable theme song.

I though it perfect stranger they were half brothers :/ In Russia they bought many American series and re-filmed for Russian auditory, with Russian towns and actors and names and yadda yadda yadda

I miss 'As Told By Ginger' on nick. that was a very cute show with a real life aspect to it and teen age problems. It was very cute.
Friends- Just wonderful show.
Married with Children- I loved it was funny and ridiculous! Russian version is not as great and filmed badly( house is obviously a stage. In original series it looked like a freaking house )

I have no idea if these shows are still showing on any channels etc, but I really miss 90s shows like My So Called Life, The Fresh Prince and Blossom even though at the time they originally came out I was way to young to really watch them and understand them. And 90s kids shows like Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark and Fudge. I also majorly miss Gilmore Girls, even though you can still see reruns etc. And Veronica Mars. But I know they both kind of came to their natural ends. It probably would have been worse to have them dragged on.

Oh and I also really miss Designing Women. That show was soooo funny! I loved especially Bernice - the wacky elderly woman, and Julia the classy owner of Sugarbaker's design firm. My other favorite characters from that show were Allison - the neurotic full of herself partner, and Carlene - the ditsy cousin of Charlene.

Ditto.
VM and GG are my two favourite shows, in that order. It sucked how VM ended though, I didn't like that at all. But I was pleased with how GG finished, and they got a good, long run out of the show.

Hey you're not alone! I love ReBoot, it's my all-time favorite TV show! I remember the episode when Megabyte tricked Bob and shot him into the web, it was so sad. Megabyte and Hex are awesome villains, your avatar is awesome btw!

I also miss the old Rugrats. Last time I checked they grew up into teenagers. I don't know what's going on with them now but I'm not sure if I want to know.

joninmobile, OHHH, I loved Kate and Allie!
I think they still air it on WE in the early morning.
As for Mama's Family, that was one of those shows my parents used to love and I grew up watching.
I love the episode where she got her first answering machine. x) "It's your dime, spill it!"

Captain THPS4, the show All Grown Up really sucked. The special (All Growed Up) was cute though.

L_Lawliet, Golden GIrls is also on Lifetime and just started airing on Hallmark.
I'm a huge Betty White fan so I always make it a point to watch it.
