haha, that's good then! Gotta try to find it online. A lot of really good characters on that show. Ralph Furley played by Don Knotts was one of them!

There's also "i love lucy" ... really OLD show. They use to have it on TV when I was a kid, during the 1990s.

Quite of few of the ones mentioned thus far are still on TV. What I miss, and can not find on TV are (in no particular order).

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Show about a captive and his robot friends, on a space station forced to watch bad movies by evil scientists)
Sledge Hammer (Police officer in love with his gun, comedy)
Get Smart (Bumbling James Bond. Shoephones, cell phones of the past)
Red Dwarf (Last human in the Universe, 3,000,000 years in the future)
Mulberry (Son of Death, who is sent to kill an old lady, ends up her Butler)
Zeroman (Leslie Nielsen as a super hero)

I am sure there are others too.

Mulberry used to be on WNED quite often. You can get the DVD from ebay at good prices.

Sadly I don't get WNED, and I seen it when it first aired in Canada, back in the 90's. Since there are only like 13 episodes (and the show was left unresolved), I didn't think anywhere would bother to air it again. Good to know that there is some hope that it will air again.

EDIT:
For fun I tried to remember the opening song, based on what I can remember from like 15 years ago... the theme went something like:
Some say they touch the sky.
Some say they see the wind.
A whisper of Spring is here.
Can you here it say, these are Mulberry days?

Ones that I haven't seen listed include:

Undeclared (Judd Apatow...40 Year Old Virgin...)
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (seasons 1-3, recently got the German box sets...such fond memories.)

http://www.grangehill.com/img/wallpapers/large.jpg

If it is, it's a much later/recent cast. The original show started in the early 80s, if not the 70s.
Some of the original actors went on to play in EastEnders, or have their own spin-off series. It was a great show (with sometimes poor kid actors), with good plotlines. With fat kids, black kids, teenage pregnancies, drugs etc. it was a forerunner to and similar to the DeGrassi series, and a far cry from the typical "everyone looks like a model" school shows made in the USA.

Here's the Wiki page. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grange_Hill) It's been running for 30 years!
