For as much as people talk about the variety of shows that get produced in the streaming era, I think they undervalue the kind of weird and (to a modern eye) unmarketable stuff that got made in the 80s and 90s.

You could make a 30 minute workplace sitcom written and directed by the creator of "Escape: The Piña Colada Song" set at a Pittsburgh radio station during the 1940s.* It would run for 4 seasons.

You could make an hour-long supernatural comedy-drama about a man (Kyle Chandler) who starts receiving the newspaper a day ahead of time and uses his foreknowledge to change the future for the better.** It would run for 4 seasons.

In the excitement following the wild success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, you could make a show in the mold of the old adventure serials, about a 1930s seaplane pilot in the South Pacific.*** It would run one season but the concept would get ripped off to make Talespin, another unbelievable concept on its own. (You know the bear from Jungle Book? He flies a plane, and King Louis runs a Casablanca-style cabaret.)

remember WENN | 1x5 | sight unseen

“Well, he has a memorable face, but it’s a poor reflection of his soul. His eyes are expressive, his features — they’re sensitive. Perhaps too sensitive at times, but I think that’s because his heart is too open. He’s very tall. Certainly, when I think of the men I’ve known, and we’re talking about quite a list, he’s equal in stature to the very best of them. Actually, I’m not sure what he looks like. He’s such a lovely man, I’m not sure I can see him clearly at all.”

I’ve posted previously about my favorite series, which ran for four seasons in the late ‘90s and then fell prey to internal studio politics at AMC, whose director of programming then buried the show and lied about it to both fans and cast members for decades (saying a DVD release was impossible because the masters had been lost).

Well, lo and behold, those “lost” masters have miraculously reappeared in time for the show to be upscaled to HD and streamed live on Sling! It’s currently running every Wednesday.

List 5 TV shows make you feel better, then tag 10 other blogs

I was tagged by @hecckyeah​ (thank you!) so in no particular order:

Elementary

I mean they go through some stuff, but also you get 2 series finales and they are both spectacular

Agents of Shield

I mean obviously

Scrubs

This show is a hot mess half the time but I still love it

Babylon 5

Again, parts of it are a mess but also I’m into Bruce Boxleitner so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Remember WENN

I mean there’s only a handful of us that still remember this show. I had to make this gif. Hahaha. I should try to make a better one though.

But basically it’s about a small-town girl trying to make it as a writer at a Pittsburgh radio station in the 1940′s. It’s adorable and everyone should see it...but that’s kind of not possible unless you know where to get the files. 

I’m supposed to tag people but like...I don’t know who’s done it? So feel free to ignore. @bobbimorseisbisexual​ @apathbacktoyou​ @loved-the-stars-too-fondly​ @accio-the-force​ @florchis​ @tomatobookworm​ @2minutes2midnight​ @springmagpies​
