    Hey, settle a debate for us — which 1995 flop deserved better, and which one earned its place in the bargain bin of TV history? Brotherly Love? Simon? Or are you still traumatized by Muscle? Drop your pick below.
    And don’t forget to subscribe and share this with that one friend who rented everything at Blockbuster except the thing they actually went for.

    MUSCLE was a modern version of the original soap parody SOAP. I enjoyed it knowing what it was but a lot of WB stations refused to air it because it was too naughty (but apparently Nikki on Unhappily Ever After was just fine?) which I think led to its lower ratings more than the quality of the show. The Michael Boatman and Alan Ruck teamup was recreated for spin city and they've worked together often, great chemistry. The storyline of Guy the Carnivore is hilarious. I found it a shame that a decently done recreation of SOAP on a brand new network just wasn't appreciated enough for what it was trying to do.

    Did we forget another show that played on the family dynamics that also failed in yr prior (1994..On our own) featuring the smollet family. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ So brotherly love should have joined them in 1995.

    It wasn't a sitcom nor necessarily a "flop", but I've yet to see My So-Called Life discussed in any of your videos. Do you primarily cover sitcom comedies? Thirty Something had a large following and China Beach had its fan base. Max Headroom, The Hitchhiker, Amazing Stories, I haven't seen Quantum Leap mentioned either. Whether these are good shows or not, isn't quite my point. I'm merely bringing attention to the fact that you focus on many of the same sitcoms. Some of which went stale & got lame after a few years time. It would be great if you expanded your horizons to other formats, drama's, more sci-fi or odd, less mainstream, Tales from the Dark Side, Friday the 13th the series was so good it deserves an entire video dedicated to it. Swans Crossing was another forgotten teen "soap" which failed because it aired while we were in school, but launched Sara Michelle Gellar's career. Sitcoms were definitely all the rage back in the 70-90's, but your channel would benefit from widening your approach & covering more variety. Just my opinion! You don't have to take the advice, and maybe you have touched upon some of these obscure programs and I'm not aware but covering the same stuff will get old pretty fast.

    The relief when you click on a new to you channel you could be interested in and you don't hear an AI slop voice. Though the writing is a little bit suspect. I'll have to watch some more episodes to make a decision on if that is done by AI or not. Unless the owner of the channel has addressed if AI is used at all or not.

    The problem with these kinds of shows is that they're not really 'comedies' but rather a kind of light-hearted soap opera. The title sequences are always misleading, and don't give the impression that there will be any actual jokes, and the shows are more about resolving family and personal issues than making people laugh.

    I was a kid when "Space" was on – and liked it. But even as a teen I had to suspend my disbelief that mankind had like one colony out there, getting attacked by an alien race – and is immediately ready with space cruisers, fighters, space marines etc as if they had anticipated that…there was not even a Mars/Earth-hostility to justify Earth having a massive fleet of battleships, like in "Expanse"

    I watched Brotherly Love and The Jeff Fox worthy Show. I liked The Jeff Fox worthy Show partly because Jay Mohr played Jeff's brother. I didn't get The WB until 1997. I probably would have watched Simon
