...and there's nothing on? Say it ain't so!
Who could ever forget Chuck Barris in his apparently altered state. At least they were all stoned and were there just for a good laugh (me too!). There's a new show now called America's Got Talent thats similiar, but far worse. This ones got a pompous Brit, a girl who thinks everything is FANTASTIC (even if it sucks), and some guy who you have no clue why he's there in the first place. This line up sounds farmiliar......hmmm.
How about dislikes...I hate all the serialized formats that shows seem to follow, who has time for that? Gimme a show that is different every week where you can tune in and not have to have seen the 30 previous episodes to know what is going on! The 60's/70's reruns rule!
I love watching the NHL.....GO PENS!!!!!

both shows were great, but I think Kojak would kick Steve McGarret's ass in a fight.

So in that light:
The Wheel of Fortune?
The Price is Right?
Oh, and how 'bout those Japanese game shows on cable? I think one is called Takeshi's Castle. It has some obstacle course stuff that's a real hoot. Reminds me of a SNL skit that Farley and Meyers did together some time ago.

kojak vs. 5-o
sure, kojak may've been tougher, but in terms of back up steve had danno and chin, kojak just had that curly haired detective....
Hackster,
You and I must have been watching the same channels. I'm from South Jersey, so we had all Philly and NY channels...I remember the following:
Captain Noah
The Gene London Show
Pixie Ann (the chick on the mushroom)
The Banana Splits
The Arabian Knights (size of a rat!!)
The Bugaloos
Sigmond the Seamonster
Magilla Gorilla, Wally Gator, Squidly Didley, Top Cat, Snaggle Pus...etc....
The Little Rascal ( my fave episode, when they got he 'epidemic')
The Three Stooges (my dad loved it and it pissed my mom off...LOL)
The Monkees (fave character besides Davey was the dummy in the chair)
The Brady Bunch
Speed Racer!!!
I guess I could go on and on. I dont get to watch much TV now. Between my old man and my son, the remote is untouchable :) Although, I did watch this season of the Soprano's.
....of the Wacky Racers!!! It may have been part of another cartoon varitey hour show, I can't remeber but I really miss that one. Penelope Pitstop and company were funny.

this is so fucking funny, I was actually thinking the EXACT same thing when I first wrote about Kojac v. McGarret.
Telly Savallas' real life brother played the fat curly haired Detective, and he was a pussy. Danno would take him out with one bitch slap. Chin was a cool cat, but Kojak did have Crocker, who was tough, as well as Rizzo, and Saperstein, and Capt. O'neil. all in all, I think the boys at the 9 Precinct would take the Hawaii 5-0 guys. it is an East Village thing.
