troutman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I used to watch Family Ties when I was a kid, but now I find the whole goody two shoes vibe too much. Yuck! I also watched that show that had Joe Cocker's With A Little Help From My Friends as the opening theme. Forgot the name of the show, but I wonder how that would hold up today? The Wonder Years. Yeah, way more than Family Ties. Love both! I remember when I was younger that the daughter in Family Ties looked quite cute . Hope she hasn't turned into a botox-monster. Edit: Couldn't resist Googling her. Botox-monster no, but wish I had stayed with my memory. Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years was on Dancing with the Stars not too far back... http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/streams/2014/March/140318/2D274905397452-140317-danica-mckellar-rh.blocks_desktop_medium.jpg Oh yeah!! :ebert: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Saw one of the new Priceline ads and Capt Kirk is starting to look like Scotty round the middle. Isn't he over 80? He's entitled. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workingcinderellaman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 http://filmjunk.com/images/weblog/2013/12/gilligansisland.jpg I tried to watch this with my kids a few years back. Not as funny as I remember it. :( My kids thought I had something wrong with me to have ever thought it was funny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is to say, not at all. I used to watch this show when it was on but it was always really predictable. I remember thinking how annoying and stupid that they kept failing to escape.

EagleMoon Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Three's Company. It's a little rough trying to watch that now. I remember watching that every week. It was funny at the time but I can definitely see why it would seem stupid now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Seinfeld seasons 6 to 9. During season 5 it started to transition into a completely different show than the classic it was during seasons 1 through 4. Early Seinfeld great, late Seinfeld bad.

You know a show has jumped the shark when it has episode based on how overrated The English Patient is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Most of the episodes in the original Star Trek. Some episodes are timeless, but the majority of them are overly sexist and/or cheesy... which I suppose are funny to watch in a Nic Cage kind of way but I don't think anyone can really take those episodes seriously any more. http://www.fantascienza.com/cinema/star-trek-4/media/14.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, I watch the original Star Trek, I find myself surprised by how forward-looking it was. My memories of watching the show were a bit different than reality. I decided to rent the series on Netflix a couple of years ago and was surprised that it wasn't as corny or hokey as I remembered it being. The special effects might be a little less refined than they are now, but otherwise it really holds up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and the recent Blu Ray remasters with (tastefully) added CGI effects make it even better. Anyone who enjoys the tone of the original Star Trek should check out the three episodes of Star Trek Continues. These guys have done some amazing work recreating it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
