What rarely seen episode of any series would you like to see again?

[Ultimajock]

Any ABC After School Special...especially the one where Jan Brady is the strung out runaway! ;D

...that wasn't an ABC Afterschool Special, that was an NBC TV-Movie titled Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway...

I would love to see SHAZAM again. I can't figure out why this has not been released on DVD yet. I know that The Secrets of ISIS has been released but still no SHAZAM. What is the major hold-up, is it one of the actors, or Filmation, the original production company. I know there has been talk of a SHAZAM movie starring the Rock, but even that hasn't been done that I know of. That would be interesting, the Rock as Captain Marvel, if Mentor got in the way, he could drop the people's elbow on his candy ass, IF YOU SMELLLLL WHAT SHAZAM IS COOKING!

Which reminds me..I know this thread is supposed to be about TV shows but what about those old made for TV movies? Some of them were seen so often on TV for years and today its pretty rare that they are shown at all. There were a number of those old made for TV flicks that were on TV in the 70s I wouldn't mind seeing. A few of themjust so I could see what the fuss was all about such as 1972's That Certain Summer which starred Hal Holbrook and Martin Sheen as gay lovers and there was that 1979 Suzanne Pleshette flick Flesh & Blood. That movie caused a big uproar back then over the incest content and with that came the protests and rumors such as the one where there was a scene of Pleshette taking a hot shower only to have her son step into the bathroom and watch his mother naked and soaping herself. Of course being on CBS there were no such scenein Flesh & Blood but there was a porn flick that came out around the same time as this movie ( Taboo with the famous Kay Parker ) that did feature such a scene. I wonder if those protest groups got the two movies confused?

Bad Ronald..over the years I have seen many of clips on You Tube about this flick that I think I will pass but what about Smash Up On Interstate 5? Or that snake flick SSSSSSS ? When Michael Calls? Or those movies Elizabeth Montgomery made back in the early 70s like A Case of Rape and The Victim? Or those disaster flicks like FIRE? FLOOD? Or even that Patty Duke horror flick "The Curse of the Black Widow"? Tarantulas..The Deadly Cargo? Pray For the Wildcats with an evil Andy Griffith and a pot smoking Robert Reed? Yes there actually was a flick that showed Mr. Brady smoking pot.

They don't make movies like that anymore.

I have never seen The Millionaire at all and I would like to see that since it was a show about someone winning $1,000,000 and the stories of what they did with their money.

I also want to see Dobie Gillis again as well as The Farmer's Daughter, the early Love That Bob shows, and some of the other 1950's and 1960's shows that have yet to make it on DVD.

I have never seen the last 2 seasons of Make Room For Daddy or the 1970-1971 revival Make Room For Granddaddy. I just wondered why those episodes aren't seen or on DVD.

I mention The Millionaire a lot on this board
and would love to see it again. Yvonne Craig
(Batgirl) is the widow of producer Don Fedderson
and holds the rights to the show. Wonder if she
could be talked into letting someone put the show
on DVD? (The opening conversations between Michael
Anthony and John Beresford Tipton are often better
than the stories.)

I also liked Andy in "Pray For The Wildcats." Since
that was before I saw him in "A Face In The Crowd,"
I couldn't quite believe how convincing he was as a
bad guy, but he was fun to watch nevertheless.

I wish the networks had done a better job of holding
onto their daytime shows; I'd like to see the Don Morrow
version of Camouflage and Johnny Carson on Who Do You
Trust?

I'd like to see just one or two episodes of the "Millionaire"


.

For me it would be You Don't Say! (1963-70) and Match Game (1962-69)..I came home after school daily to watch these shows..There is more of You Don't Say! than you'd think on You Tube, but not much of the original Match Game..

 

[nightfly61]

Yep, that's right about the Eve Plumb show(what was I thinkin' )...I'd still like to see all those ABC After School Specials again though.
You never see made for t.v mini series anymore either...Helter Skelter (AT LEAST AVAILABLE ON D.V.D), Rich Man/Poop man, Roots(all 50 sagas Alex Haley made up 'til "Queen"), etc.
I'd also like to mention one I'm not sure about but it may have been a made for t.v movie...it was a comedy I THINK..."It Couldn't Have Happened To A Nicer Guy". It was about a man that was raped by a woman.(Why don't networks run cool old shows like that late at night anymore?)All you ever see are reruns of Raymond, Scrubs, or My Wife & Kids.
I'd also like to see any rarely seen (if at all anymore) episodes of Unhappily Ever After with Nikki Cox in mini skirts & tube tops. ;D

This gave me a laugh more than it really should have.
I'm so juvenile

 

[Corky Marlowe]

I think it would be neat (but impossible, probably) to see some of the color shows that exist only as black and white kinescopes today...The Tonight Show from 1960 on, "Hullabaloo" (which I just posted about in another thread), the final prime time seasons of "What's My Line?" and "I've Got A Secret", and probably a bunch more that I can't think of right now.

...the Shout! Factory DVD set of The Johnny Carson Show (the 1955-56 CBS comedy variety series) contains a broadcast of Who Do You Trust? (with Bill Nimmo as announcer, before Ed McMahon was brought to New York from Philadelphia) as an extra. Apparently, when he was courting Joanne Copeland, Johnny himself gave her his old kinescopes of his shows to that date and, after she and Johnny divorced, she kept up the proper preservation of those kinnies, leading to her licensing them for the DVD...

Theres an old Dick Van Dyke show where the writers do a sketch where they sing "I am a fine musician, I practice every day... My trumpet, my trumpet, I love to play my trumpet....etc... " Each one adds a new instrument and a little up and down choreography to boot...

Dick Van Dyke also did an episode where he had to stay awake in a storefront window for a super long time... I can't remember the number of hours.. but is funny as can be.. I wanna say he was on the radio or on tv at the time..

Great stuff.

Talking about the ABC after school specials I liked the cbs better. then in syndication the young peoples specials brought to you by cambells soup. now those were good shows. Umberlla Jack was one that was my favorite it starred young joey lawerence .

TV Land ran SHAZAM a few years ago. It's entertaining today for the plot and production value, or lack there of. I miss ISIS. The women who played her, JoAnna Cameron, was a babe.

 

[Markieo]

Helter Skelter is available on DVD (I found mine for $3.00 at Harris Teeter). There was a version released on VHS which showed the European theatrical version. It was one hour shorter than the mini-series, with extra violence and swear words added in!

 

[Braves2005]

The early years of The Afterschool Special are on DVD. There's one with 2 episodes from 1976 that I bought a few years back for $5 at Family Dollar which consisted of "Francesca, Baby" about a mother who is an alcoholic and her teenage daughter tries to get her in AA and "Turtle Dove" which starred Melissa Sue Anderson from Little House On The Prairie playing the sister of a little girl who died when she fell from a tree house.

Another Afterschool Special that I want to see again is the one where Patty Duke and her son Sean appeared together as mother and son which aired in the early 1980's.

 

[nightfly61]

The old Freddie's Nightmares & Tales from the Crypt. I wouldn't go spending money on them, but on a Saturday afternoon that stuff was great!
Maye I was just hearing things as a kid, but I kind of recall one All in the Family (& something else which I can't remember) where the actors screwed up and called another actor by their real name & they just left it in. Wouldn't mind seeing that again.

That was the Christmas episode that was shot in the second or third season, I believe. The plot was that the staff of the Alan Brady Show and their families would perform on the Alan Brady Show instead of having a guest star that week. The reason the show was shot so that it could be shown each Christmas without having to make a new Christmas episode each year. I still see it on TVLand every year during their Christmas episodes Marathon.

That was an episode from The Brady Bunch in 1970 where Bobby is afraid of heights so the family buys a trampoline to show Bobby and then everyone takes turns and then you hear Carol telling Jan saying "Come on, Eve" and then Peter saying "Come on, Barry, you can do it."

Too bad Tony Danza wasn't in that one...
