Sitcoms about College

 I've always wondered.....

Why shows based on college life weren't a big hit with audiences than ones for high school? 

Remember the show Undeclared?

It only ran for one season on Fox, but it was compared to Freaks and Geeks which did better ratings wise and many say is a better show. 

What about Saved by the Bell the college years?

Compared to the original, this did horrible and was boring. I tried to watch this and couldn't finish the only season they had.

Boy Meets World and Sabrina the Teenage Witch ran continuously from jr. High to high school then to college. They didn't have a spin off show like saved by the bell did. Boy meets world did well as i continued to watch but sabrina fell off. I only watched one episode and that was it for me.

What are your thoughts?  Do you have a fave show based on college? Any show not the list? Explain below

80s On TV

 

Good whatever, Freaks & Geeks!

I hope you all survived the weekend, whether you spent it shooting off your appendages with illegal fireworks, gorging yourself at a barbecue, rooting for your favourite cyclist in Le Tour de France, binge-watching "Dark", or merely chilling with a good book or movie.

While I was waxing nostalgic for the 80s over the weekend, I came up with the idea for this thread, and found - YES! - another quiz to test your 80s knowledge, or recall, if applicable.

Before we get to the quiz, however, post about television shows you watched in - or from - the 80s. It will be particularly fascinating to read about shows viewed during the 80s in different countries.

Oh, yes, the quiz.

Can you complete the listed titles of TV shows that debuted in the 80s?

(Hint: They are all American programs.)

You have 5 minutes to complete the quiz!

You can click "Give Up" at any time.

Scroll down, click "Play" and begin typing. When finished, you'll see your % and the # of correct answers.

Cheers!

Is Anybody Watching ... ?

 

Good evening, F&G! I hope your weekend is getting off to a good start.

As I mentioned in my previous thread, I plan to binge-watch this weekend. One series I intend to check out tonight is Netflix's first German-language series.

It consists of three seasons, wrapping up last year. I hear it's quite confusing but, then, when isn't time-travel confusing? It's also supposed to be amazing. So, I thought I'd see if anyone else out there is watching it, too. Hence, the question:

IS ANYBODY WATCHING ...

This thread is not just about DARK, however. Feel free to ask the same question about any shows you are currently watching, or shows you are curious about.

Enjoy & Have Fun!
