I can barely remember this show, but what I do remember is that people used to watch it like Desperate Houswives when it was on. Melrose Place is considered part of the Beverly Hills 90210 franchise, and is basically the same show except the people are better looking and they are in their 20s instead of being teens.

It’s a bunch of hot ass people living in an apartment complex and they do stuff. They have sex mostly. Sometimes they decide to kill each other because someone had sex with someone they shouldn’t have. You know, a prime time soap opera.

The series debuted on July 8, 1992 and was an instant hit, debuting at #19 on the Nielsen ratings with a 10.3/19 share. The series finale was watched by 10.38 million viewers. Yeah…it was big shit. Heather Locklear was even nominated for like 5 Emmy Awards while this show was on.

One character I remember on the show was this dude named Jake. He was the douchiest looking guy ever, and makes me laugh when I see him still. Looks like some dude that would spend all day trying to get rid of blackheads, and then get on a motorcycle and pretend to be a badass.

Oh I forgot…Kristin Davis was on this show too before her Sex and the City Days. Apparently they dumped her because they said the audience didn’t like her character. She was a bitch I think on the show. Completely opposite her Sex and the City role.

The Melrose Place Theme is as gay as the 90210 one. Sounds almost exactly the same to me.

While I was a huge fan of The Cosby Show, one character in particular was probably one of my least favorite characters on any show. Denise Huxtable, played by Lisa Bonet. Lisa Bonet actually only appeared on the show for one season because her and husband Lenny Kravitz were expecting a baby. This was against the morals of Cosby and the show’s audience to be an unwed mother (on the show) most likely and she was taken off for season 2. She took a year off and ended up back on the Cosby Show a year later (Oh joy).

A Different World was a show that was supposed to represent the average black college in America. The first season had a mix of white and black students (including Marisa Tomei in one of her earliest roles), but changed to a majority black cast in Season 2. A couple notable babes were on the show in Jasmine Guy and Jada Pinket (Mrs. Will Smith), as well as the comedian Sinbad.

OF course the show was pretty terrible most of the time. When your main character after Lisa Bonet left was called Dwayne Wayne and he wore flip up sunglasses 24/7 you know the show is pretty lame. HE was like some sort of seo software expert or something. No idea. Maye it was a lunchroom counselor.

While it was a spin-off from the Cosby Show, A Different World typically addressed issues that were avoided by the Cosby Show writers (race and class relations, the Equal Rights Amendment). One episode that aired in 1990 was one of the first American network television episodes to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Yeah…so I’m HIV Positive that I hated this show.

A Different World Opening Credits:

Usually a show that was made because the show is going to star someone it is named after is probably somewhat interesting/funny isn’t it? Especially if it is based on the “comedic stylings of…” the guy the show is about right? Wrong (2 exceptions: Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond). She can rub some night cream on me anytime.

Titus was a show on Fox from around 2000 with some guy named Christopher Titus who was a comedian or something. Funnily enough, I can’t remember ever seeing this guy perform stand-up and I used to watch comedy shows religiously back then. If I did he sure as hell didn’t make an impression on me. Pretty difficult to do because I was probably blown out and would have laughed at anything.

The series first aired as a limited-run mid-season replacement in March 2000 and it received rave reviews. It ran for 54 episodes over three seasons until it was canceled in 2002. (Wiki-Someone is making that up. This show sucked.)

You know who was on this show though? If you watch L O S T you know exactly who Cynthia Watros is. She played (she still does probably in a post death appearance this season) Libby. She also appeared on the Drew Carey Show a bit as well.

Titus Theme:

It is pretty obvious this show sucks balls from the very first image of the theme. The dude’s name is on fire! He must be a bad ass. Then engine roars instead of music. Ultimate fail.

Unless you are about 50 you saw these shows as re-runs probably when you were a kid. Maybe you never saw them at all, but I remember them because they had “The Amazing Spiderman” on the show. Apparently I was a big Spiderman nerd when I was little.

The Electric Company is an educational American children’s television series that was produced by the Children’s Television Workshop (now called Sesame Workshop) for PBS in the United States. PBS broadcast 780 episodes over the course of its six seasons from October 25, 1971 to April 15, 1977. After it ceased production that year, the program continued in reruns from 1977-1985. CTW produced the show at Teletape Studios Second Stage in Manhattan. No watching this on a Samsung HDTV that’s for sure.

This show was like a competitor to Sesame Street I guess. Obviously it was never as popular, but I did watch the re-runs. It claims to be the place that kids went after they graduated from Sesame Street.

Think this show wasn’t cool? Look at the cast:

The original cast included Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby, Judy Graubart, Lee Chamberlin, and Skip Hinnant.

Yeah…2 legends in Cosby and Freeman.

Electric Company Theme (Far out man…)

Why I watched it…The Amazing Spider Man theme:

It is always great for advertising agencies that they have come up with something so great that someone actually believes there should be a TV show made based on them. Baby Bob is one of those shows.

Baby Bob was a character that appeared in some commercials for FreeInternet.com. Some obxolete .cm I imagine, but I remember seein the baby on TV in commercials. In fact people still use this idea. I believe E*Trade or some other online stock service uses it still.

Anyways, the series centered around first-time parents Walter Spencer (Adam Arkin), his wife Lizzy (Joely Fisher) and their six-month-old baby Bob (voiced by Ken Hudson Campbell). After discovering that their son can talk like an adult, Walter decides that the they must keep it a secret. Lizzy, however, wants to show off Bob’s talking skills, especially to her mother Madeline (Holland Taylor) who constantly brags about her other grandchildren. Supporting cast members included Elliot Gould as Walter’s father Sam and Marissa Tait as Bob’s babysitter Teala.

Wheeeeeee….what a great show! Rather watch a quick weight loss show personally.

Unfortunately for you I can’t find the intro vid today.
