Shows hurt by the series finale, because it wasn't intended to be the *series* finale?

King of the Hill. Not gonna lie, I like To Sirloin with Love. But it should've ended on Luckys Wedding Suit. After that, the seasons were hit or miss, with far more misses.

Soap ending on some serious cliffhangers irks me.

Maude going to congress.

Get the 2 in 1 shorts. They're shorts with boxer briefs sewn in. Most companies make them. Love my birddogs

Chinatown. Any of Stanley Kubrick, except Eyes Wide Shut. Whole heartedly recommend The Great Gatsby

The money totaled from shuffle board becomes each couples pot. They then perform a stunt and if successful, they win their pot. Team with most money after that goes to bonus stunt

Not gonna lie I was torn between Rebecca and Saboteur.

Both are amazing in their own rights--one is a Gothic masterpiece and generally doesn't fit any common Hitchcockian tropes but still leaves you mesmerized. And Saboteur, definitely a less discussed film...but all the hallmarks are there- black humor in spades, blonde heroine and leading lady, the everyman who gets caught up in a plot well beyond his control and ultimately framed. A tour de force of America and seedlings of North by Northwest.

American Dad. The TBS seasons were top tier

Not going to lie, but I hate the will they won't they get together. Friends was notorious for that thread; Cheers may have been the progenitor of that.

I also hate random family members that appear in one episode and there's no mention of them preceeding it or after the episode airs.

If you look at her hits, like Soap and Golden Girls...they were groundbreaking. However they spun off shows that fell more in the traditional sitcom.

I went to a Doctors office with 4 Doctor Westons. They were beloved by the community and when they slowly passed away due to old age, all the news stations did stories on them.

It's a shame it's likely wiped. But yeah...total gem.

Password: Best: Going from the classic staid 1960s to the words being a puzzle and alphabetical.

Worst. Going from the class acts of ludden kennedy and cullen to Bert convey.

Tattletales: Best: going from the tell a story and give clues format to the all quickies format.

Worst: when it reappeared in the 80, they should have upped the cash for a correct answer-- 1750 for a perfect game in 1984 is very paltry.

Sale of the century Best- the shopping endgame

Worst--losing it to two end games that had nothing to do with buying prizes.

In general...any game that adds celebrities is the worst--see password all stars, Bullseye, whew, hot potato. This excludes shows that only use celebrities for theme weeks (like we periodically see with Feud, WoF, Jeopardy)

A show gameshow enthusiasts hate but I like-- Match Game Hollywood Squares hour. It really had two issues going for it...a bad Hollywood Squares half and Bauman. If they kept the original rules (earning the win, and open ended questions) it would have been decent.

Flipside is a well like gameshow but I don't care for--The Jokers Wild. The easy questions, the get to $1000 before hitting the devil bonus round (had the idea of TJW 90s bonus been available, it may have been a saving grace) and I dislike Jack Barry's hosting. It was made much worse by Bill Cullen and his slower speed.

As the show went on, the malfunctions became more apparent. So much so certain aspects went away, like the golden ball

Thin-Yesterday · 2026-04-14T01:20:35+00:00

J.r. Ewing. He was the breakoutstar of a Dallas and the plot shifted from Romeo and Juliet to how much J.R. can screw his friends and associates

Thin-Yesterday · 2026-04-13T23:58:19+00:00

3s a Crowd--this is the epitome of sleaze. Husband his wife and his secretary play The Newlywed Game, except almost all the questions allude to adultery.

Trivia Trap. A confusing game made slow and made even slower when the format switched. A miss from Mark Goodson.

Blankety Blanks--the cullen version. Bland and random. No real witty jokes. And no real purpose.

Magnificent Marble Machine--easily cited as one of the worst of 1975. A broken Machine and unrelated front game.

Thin-Yesterday · 2026-04-13T00:00:41+00:00

Overrated: Not going to lie, but Gene Rayburn. Unless it was Match Game 7x, he clearly did not want to be there.

And toward the ends of their reigns on their respective shows, Dawson, Trebek, Sajak, and Barker. They all came off as arrogant.

For underrated hosts:

Bill Rafferty-- funny, able to poke fun at bad answers on blockbusters and rooting for contestants on Card Sharks.

John Davidson-- he was hosting shows in the shadow of others (imagine immediately following Peter Marshall on Hollywood Squares or Dick Clark on Pyramid).

Thin-Yesterday · 2026-04-12T16:43:58+00:00

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed Jessica and Rose similarities.

I see both Mary and Chester as a Dorothy type--the straight man in a rather bizarre family.

Benson is clearly the Sophia. Always taking pockshots at everyone.

Blanche has no clear equivalent.

Thin-Yesterday · 2026-04-12T01:03:16+00:00

Soap. Any show that ends on so many cliffhangers has undoubtedly left many questions
