I just wiki'd this to make sure...I was 14 when this originally aired & I really liked it. My wife is younger & she swore by it...a couple years ago, we stumble upon it on Netflix. Well, time did not treat The Night Stalker well. In our opinion.
Will say, the TV movie (which launched the series) was creepy (in its time).

I also did not know that Frank Spotnitz (X-Files) did a remake in 2005. It bombed.

Good write up of the show here:
Invalid Link Removed

The creepiest episode was the one with the
succubus. The zombie was pretty good, as well.

 

[Pacman]

Sports Night was one of the best shows ever on TV. It was a shame when that went off the air.

The ABC's Recovery electrified live music TV – but could it be made today?

Over There (2005)

Two cartoons from the mid 70's.

1. Like an animated "Land of the Lost". The boat got lost in a whirlpool and landed in an ancient world of dinosaurs.

2. Like an animated version of the "Waltons". In one episode a boy and his grandfather are discussing various little toys he could select as a prize in a game, like a rabbit's foot, a whistle, etc. This is vague I know.

I'll add this one: The original "Ghostbusters". It was a half-hour comedy with Larry Storch, Forest Tucker, and a guerilla.

I remember Spencer, Tracy, and Kong...

Someone jumped in with Men of a Certain Age. I liked that one as well.

Add yet another vote for Firefly.

I really liked this show. It was fun, the guys did a great job with the music, and it really had heart. Of course, they had to schedule it on a weekend night where a good chunk of the likely audience is probably at a venue either watching or playing.
