comcen also has some good shows. tds w/ jon stewart, trigger happy (from disgusting britain), dave chapelle, and more. but of course, none can compare to the simpsons.
seinfeld is pretty good too, but i almost never watch it.
Hands down one of the best shows currently on TV. The past couple seasons were pretty bad, but now it seems to be getting good again. Plus it is still better than about 99% of the crap out there.
My 2nd favorite show would have to be the original Twilight Zone which incidentally is where I got my username from
In my humble The Simpsons is the greatest feat of sustained comedic writing and characterisation in T.V history, it is frankly scarily funny. As the great man says, " it's funny 'cos it's true" Lisa for President.
I also have been known to watch "Cowboy Bebop" from time to time, but a lot of the episodes I've seen are kind of dumb. There are some cool ones though.
marine boy...ha....with the o2 gum?? and i remember the banana splits....one day a week it had that live action island show...dang, what was it called?? danger island or something...loved that show...and kimba the white lion...and of course speed racer....mmmmm, trixie was hot when you are 10....g
For many, the most memorable feature segment was Danger Island. A live-action segment filmed on location, it featured the shipwrecked Professor Irwin Hayden and his crew as they outran dangerous natives, killer animals, and murderous pirates. The action-packed show featured a young man named Michael Vincent, who would come to be known as teen idol Jan-Michael Vincent, and many of the episodes were directed by Richard Donner, who would later helm the Lethal Weapon saga.
yeah...we are showing our age here artman....marine boy was great...i always wanted some of the oxygen gum....
do you remember when Ultraman was a live action show...little boy with a freakin spoon calling ultraman to fight awful looking creatures...g

"Beta Capsule
The device used by Hayata to transform into Ultraman. He usually just raises it above his head, clicks the button, and off he goes. Kept in the left breast pocket of his Science Patrol uniform. On one occasion, Hayata tries to transform with a spoon. As far as I know, Hayata doesn't say anything when he transforms in either the Japanese or English versions, although several of you have asked."
