It's funny how "gritty" and realistic that shit seemed in 1982; I too saw it again recently, thinking it was gonna be good. Time hasn't been kind to it at ALL.

GAH!!! USA Saturday Nightmares!!!! I loved that when I was a kid! I've told people about it and they look at me like I'm crazy.

Commander USA's Groovy movies was another staple of my childhood. I once met him at a record store here in New Jersey.

Tales from the Darkside was great too. The story with the tiny monster in the closet scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

Too Close For Comfort

Lydia Cornell was a crush of mine when I was a kid, which is why I stalked her and "friended" her on Facebook. She's a bit preachy now, but she's still kinda hot. Anyway she posted this today:

Everyone, our show Too Close for Comfort has been running twice a week since June on Tribune Broadcasting's ANTENNA TV. It's a channel on your cable lineup. Check here to see what channel it is on in your area. http://www.antennatv.tv/

Yup.
Lydia Cornell.

It'd be cool if they brought back magnum pi. I get my fix nowadays by mixing NCIS with Burn Notice.

Isabellacat · October 23, 2011, 01:00:46 AM

Oh yea this is my kinda thread here!

Let me see..... I totally second the vote on Too Close for Comfort. Even during the last few seasons when they moved to Marin ,it was still funny. Anybody remember the episode when Monroe got raped???

I could'nt believe it myself either....they have'nt aired that episode since.

As for other shows.....
