Ok…people may have actually liked this show. I know I had some He Man action figures (ie. dolls for boys) when I was a little runt, but try to watch this crap now. It is terrible. BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL! I HAVE THE POWER! HE MAN THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE!

Another “super hero” who looks almost exactly the same when not wearing tight underwear to mask his true identity. HE lives in Castle Grayskull, but Skeletor is his enemy…contradiction much? He gets ultra powerful because of a sword. HE even forgoes the need for a tanning bed when he become He Man. HE looks like he is pretty damn strong before he is He Man too which makes you wonder why he even needs the sword. At least make him look like he was downing Fenphedra pills before his transformation M I RITE?

He Man and the Masters of the Universe Intro

So…some teenage kid is so smart that he graduates not just college, but completes MEDICAL SCHOOL before an average person would even graduate high school. Surely this is based on a true story. Starring Neil Patrick Harris as a brilliant teenage doctor who was also faced with the problems of being a normal teenager. Well…most things. He isn’t trying to figure out what kind of personalized baby clothes he needs for a bun in the oven with his girlfriend Wanda Plenn or anything. He’s just a big dork that works at a hospital as a doctor. Wanda of course is hooking up with him because the dude is rich.

HEre is an interesting, and very stupid fact: Steven Bochco, the show’s creator, revealed that the show’s cancellation came abruptly at the hands of ABC executives–before he and the show’s staff had a chance to complete the story line. Bochco believed Doogie would have left the pressures of medicine to become a writer. Now that is some lame ass writing there. I think the TV execs probably made the right call by canceling this show before Bochco could completely destroy it.

I’m not sure there are many people that can truly say they hated Saved By the Bell. The show was completely terrible of course, but it had something that made people want to watch it. Kelly Kapowski, and of course Jessica Spano being the hot dork who read books all day to be the #1 student (Striptease flashbacks from hell).

Now the College Years on the other hand may not have been as bad as whatever they hell they called the one with the “second class”, but certainly it was one of the worst spin offs out there. You can only stay so cheesy for so long. Cheesy works with high school and Jr. High kids, but when they carry it over to college they just can’t cut it anymore.

The theme is worse than any of the others. That fat bastard Golic is really what makes the show go downhill.

Saved By the Bell The College Years Intro/Theme

Empty Nest ran on NBC from 1988 to 1995. Quite shocking that the show had that loong of a run to me. Of course I did watch it, but it doesn’t mena that show was particularly good or anything. It just happened to be a show that I suppose was one of the only shows on the day it was on, and back then I tend to think that I actually watched the network channels Prime Time shows for some odd reason. This was before we had 1000 cable channels to choose from, and HDTVs on our tv wall mount so I guess it is no surprise that many of these shows lasted as long as they did.

The show revolved around successful pediatrician Dr. Harry Weston (Richard Mulligan), whose life is turned upside down when his wife dies and two of his adult daughters move back into the family home in Miami. Ummm…losers?

This show was actually a spinoff of Golden Girls. You know that show with all the old ladies like Bea Arthur? Pretty much the prequel to the old man movies that came out a few years later called Grumpy Old Men. In fact the Weston family lived a crossed the street from the Golden Girls, although they were never part of the show much.

Eldest daughter Carol (Dinah Manoff) was a neurotic and high-strung recent divorcée, while middle daughter Barbara (Kristy McNichol) was a tough undercover police officer. The two sisters frequently bickered and vied for the attention of their father (who they still called “Daddy”). The Westons’ large dog Dreyfuss was also frequently shown for comedic relief.

They had the typical “Larry” (Threes Company) kind of guy that came over to sexually harrass the daughter daily as well. Weston neighbor Charley (David Leisure), a womanizing cruise ship employee who frequently barged in to the house unannounced to borrow food or make sexist comments.

That is a recipe for comedy folks.

Empty Nest Intro Theme:

Now this show is one for the ages. A bunch of goofy girls at an all girsl school. At first it would seem that this is the ultimate in male fantasy. At first. Then when you are exposed to the likes of Mindy Cohn, you begin to scratch out your eyes in horror, and bang your head against your home furniture trying to knock yourself out.

You had the hot, uppity chick in Blair Warner, that fatso in Natalie Green, the cute braces wearing Tootie Ramsey, and the tomboy with the leather jacket in Jo Polniaczek. All had some appeal for young males obviously, except for tubby.

The Facts of Life is an American sitcom that originally ran on the NBC network from August 24, 1979 to September 13, 1988. A spin-off of the sitcom Diff’rent Strokes, the series’ original premise focused on the character, Edna Garrett (played by Charlotte Rae), as she becomes housemother (and later, dietitian as well) to seven young girls at the fictional Eastland School, a prestigious all-girls’ school in Peekskill, New York. The Pilot for the show originally aired as the last episode of Diff’rent Strokes first season and was called “The Girls’ School (aka Garrett’s Girls).”The Pilot for the show originally aired as the last episode of Diff’rent Strokes first season and was called “The Girls’ School (aka Garrett’s Girls).”

The show was obviously quite popular, but looking back it was clearly crap. The show even had now big time celebrity George Clooney (Video Below) appear on it as well as many others.
