The official late 80's eary 90's TV series thread


Recommended Posts

This wasn't 'late 80's' but it was early 80's...just wondering if anyone else remembers this short-lived show..."The Phoenix"

 

I had this stupid crush on Judson Scott (I was, like, 12) which might explain why I like Disciple. Harhar.

 

Years later, it was weird to see him in Wrath of Khan and then on ST:TNG in a few episodes here and there.

But some of my favorites were V

I suppose I wouldn't be helping my reputation as a Nicky Katt stalker if I were to mention that he apparently was in V... :thumbsup: (He must've been in his early teens at the time)

Please review my fanfic!

Yes, yes, yes... I'm well aware of your opinion of Nicky Katt. :p:thumbsup:

 

I have no idea what type of character he played... I never actually watched the series myself.

 

*searches IMDB for info* Anyone know what kind of character... "Sean Donovan" was? Anyone? Bueller?

Donovan was the "hero" in V so it was probably his annoying son.

 

I watched them on video sometime ago. The second series was pretty awful though.

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.

I wasnt allowed to watch it when I was a kid so Ive only seen it in recent years. I did read the comics though, they were totally sweet.

 

 

edit: what was that about jumping sharks? those things that lived in the sand-moat?

 

 

 

Launch> Eerie Indiana was primetime afterschool television in Sweden :D I think they aired it at the same time as another similar show about a boy in a coma who went on a journey in the dreamworl to wake up

I was, and am, a great fan of The Outer Limits. Basically a series of what-if? scifi propositions. Just yesterday, I was watching one titled 'The Music of the Spheres' on the SCIFI channel in which Kirsten Dunst and that Pacey guy from Dawson's Creek starred.

 

Synopsis (partially from TV.com): Devon Taylor (Pacey), a 20 year-old physics TA, has heard a lot of strange sounds coming from space as part of his job assisting Dr. Evan Swift in investigation of the recent growth of solar flare activity -but something tells him this signal, coming from the direction of Certus, is special. Devon's suspicions are confirmed when he takes a tape of the signal home and his 17 year-old sister, Joyce (Kirsten Dunst), and her boyfriend Vic react as if they have heard the most beautiful music in the world. But the sound, which seems comprehensible only to teenagers, has a disturbing side-effect; Joyce and Vic's skin begins physically changing, as does the skin of all the other teenagers they expose to the sound. Worse, when Devon's father, Dr. Emory Taylor, orders the "music" taken away, the teenagers appear to go through a painful and possibly deadly withdrawal. Faced with the spread of this potentially deadly audio virus, the government imposes martial law as Devon and his father try to figure out why the sound has the effect it does. To make a long story short, they eventually realize the sun is shifting into a blue dwarf, and that the music was sent to allow humanity to survive the increase in ultraviolet radiation. Basically, their skin turns an iridescent gold formed of heavy metals to block the UV rays.

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

Wow. Yeah, I really liked Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. The newer series weren't always as good as the Rod Serling originals, though. (who can forget the manequin's release day?)

Who Can remember these beauties.. (w00t)

 

Whats the second one? I can't make out whats in the pic. I remember having some Bravestarr toys, and MASK was awesome. I'm so buying it on DVD if its ever released.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Didn't read the thread, here's a quick run down of my favorite 80s/late 90s tv shows. Please note that most of them are kids shows as I was a ... you know... kid at the time.

 

David the Gnome

Lost Cities of Gold

TMNT

X-Men (I think it was the one on Fox Kids)

Captain Caveman

Heathcliff

and there was some show called the littlest koala or something like that... all the characters were marsupials and I just remember liking it because the platypus had the coolest house-submarine.

 

You probably couldn't pay me enough to sit down and watch these today but thanks for the stroll down memory lane.
