The Upper Hand is the definitive overlong sitcom-it was the english version of the us s***com whos the boss? But the upper hand was so successful that it rang longer than WTB-in fact they had to write to the creators of WTB to allow them to continue the plot...IDIOTS!

Actually, Flanker, perhaps you're right.

As aonemantidalwave mentioned, I'd forgotten about As time goes by. Or was that JD's own real husband, another Michael?

Buck Rogers was big time!
I always had a thing for the bird...can't remember her name.
They should bring that s*** back!

Buck Rogers?! Give me Duck Dodgers in the 24 and a halfth century any day! smiley - ok

I suppose it was marginally superior to Battlestar Gallactica though.

I would't worry, didn't they repeat it only a couple of years back?

Yeah, You're right dude. F*** it then.
All Sci-Fi TV shows are rubbish without exception in my opinion. It's a genre best suited to big budget motion pictures.

I thought that Buck Rogers had two things going for it.

1. The Bird (Erin Grey was it.) she was a sex bomb.

2. The acting was so cr*p it was laughable. smiley - biggrin

Will They Never Learn

Set in a comprehensive school and following the misadventures of uptight teacher Mr Orcus...similar to Please Sir! but with more outdated jokes and casual racism. Whole cast being stereotypes of one sort or another (ultra camp gay bloke, eye-rolling "darkie", woman who is a slag...etc)
Lets pitch this bitch to the beeb...this could be our ticket out of this jerkwater burb!

*he wonders who that would be based on? smiley - biggrin*
