Topic: Series that are Cheesy but Fun

[addicted2dvd]

I am in the mood to watch some fun... but cheesy TV Series. Here is the ones that I can think of from my collection...

The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.: The Complete Series The world's favorite western/sci-fi/comedy/action cult hit rides again! Here on 8 discs is the complete series about Brisco (Bruce Campbell), a tough-as-rawhide cowpoke, debonair ladies' man and Harvard-educated smarty-britches who roams from Frisco to Jalisco in pursuit of outlaws who killed his father...and in search of a mysterious orb possessing out-of-this world powers. Hot lead and cool anachronisms await Brisco as he and his sidekicks - including Comet, the intellectual equine who doesn't know he's a horse - fight for justice in the way, way, way-out West. Put your boots in your stirrups, your tongue in your cheek, and join the fun. Let's play cowboys and aliens!

This series seems to be fun. But cheesy fun? I'm not sure... going by the couple of episodes I have seen I think it fits pretty good... so I am adding it. While I enjoy them... I am not huge on Westerns... so it would take me a LONG time to watch them all. I of course have the complete series.

ALF: Season One ALF, the impetuous alien who plummeted from outer space into the Tanner family garage back in '86 is now crash-landing on DVD! Earth has just not been the same without this cosmic superstar and his wisecracking antics! Catch ALF in all 25 out-of-this-world episodes from the complete first season of his award-winning primetime TV hit.

All Alf Intros wouldn't allow embedding

I used to love this show when I was younger. It still has it's fun time... but I never got any more then the first season for some reason. So that is all I could watch at this time.

Cleopatra 2525: The Complete Series Get ready for temperatures to rise as the sexiest sci-fi series ever, Cleopatra 2525, explodes on to DVD for the first time! Action goddess Gina Torres stars in the sizzling series about a cryogenically frozen exotic dancer who, after accidentally being thawed in the year 2525, joins two sexy freedom fighters in their battle against evil robots called Baileys. Led by the mysterious "Voice," this tempestuous trio must out-fight, out-seduce and out-maneuver the forces that threaten to destroy the world. From executive producer Sam Raimi (director of Spider-Man and Evil Dead) comes all 28 action-packed episodes and exclusive bonus features from the series that has the New York Daily News declaring "the sexy factor is way in the red zone."

This is a series I caught a few episodes on TV as it aired... but seen most of them when I first got the DVDs. This is very cheesy... but also very fun. I definitely could watch the entire series again.

Gilligan's Island: The Complete First Season A three-hour tour? No way! Not when you have all 36 Season-One episodes of Gilligan's Island plus a cargo of DVD extras that include the originally unaired pilot. The S.S. Minnow first sailed into living rooms on September 26, 1964, and from there steered into legend. Certainly much credit for the show's three-year run and amazing afterlife goes to the remarkable cast whose characters managed to endure life on the island while never losing their comic timing. Bravo to Bob Denver, Alan Hale, Jim Backus, Natalie Schaefer, Tina Louise, Russel Johnson and Dawn Wells. It's a joy to be stranded with them time and again – here on Gilligan's Isle.

This one I could watch the first two seasons... as I never got around to getting the final season. This show is pretty cheesy... and I can usually only take but so many episodes at a time. So may take me a while to get through the 2 seasons I have.

The Greatest American Hero: Season One William Katt stars as mild-mannered high school teacher Ralph Hinkley whose close encounter with aliens leaves him with a super-power suit that only he can control. But when Ralph loses the instruction manual, the safety of mankind is left in his fumbling hands. Now with the help of his attorney girlfriend Pam Davidson (Connie Sellecca) and FBI agent Bill Maxwell (Robert Culp), the world's most unlikely flying crime fighter is ready for action. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO! Michael Paré and Faye Grant co-star in the Emmy-nominated '80s hit created by Stephen J. Cannell. This collection features every first season episode — including the Emmy-nominated pilot — plus all-new interviews with the show's stars and the unaired pilot for the proposed spin-off series THE GREATEST AMERICAN HEROINE.

There has always been something about this series that I liked. For some reason it never fails to crack me up. I have the complete series (3 seasons)... so I could watch them all.

Land of the Lost: The Complete Series Marshall, Will and Holly on a routine expedition met the greatest earthquake ever known. High on the rapids it struck their raft and plunged them down a thousand feet below to the Land of the Lost. Take a journey back in time with the Marshall family through this incredible world of breathtaking wonder, pulse-pounding danger and mind-boggling special effects. Only in the Land of the Lost will you battle dinosaurs one day and encounter beings from other dimensions the next. The Pylons, the Pakuni, evil energy storms...they are all part of the awesome adventures created by legendary Sid and Marty Krofft. Relive all your favorite Saturday morning thrills as you rediscover all 43 action-packed original episodes in the Land of the Lost Complete Series.

this is one of those blast from the past for me... is a Saturday Morning series I watched as a kid. Not sure how well it would hold up for me know. Especially in a marathon type viewing. But I do have the complete series to watch.

Titus: Seasons 1 & 2 According to a recent study, 63% of American families are now considered dysfunctional. According to Christopher Titus, that makes him a proud member of the majority. Welcome to the extremely dysfunctional -- and semi-autobiographical -- world of Christopher Titus' screwed-up relationships with his loving girlfriend (Cynthia Watros), his not-too-bright kid brother (Zack Ward), his flamboyantly-anal best friend (David Shatraw), his manic-depressive schizophrenic mother, and most of all, his five-times-divorced, wussy-hating, abusive father (Stacy Keach). It's a darkly hilarious ride through a life filled with suicide, alcoholism, dementia, violence, crime, comas, restraining orders and more. This is not your average 'happy family' sitcom. This is TITUS. This collection includes 33 complete episodes -- featuring such guest stars as David Hyde Pierce, Jay Leno, Richard Benjamin and Ed Begley Jr. -- of the Emmy®-nominated Fox series that critics hailed as one of the most honest, daring and cutting-edge comedies in television history.

No Intro Found

I think I caught a few episodes of this series when it originally aired. After buying the complete series 3 years ago during a buy 1 get 1 free sale... I never watched the DVDs for some reason.


OK... those are the choices I think would fit in to my mood right now... what do you think? See anything here of interest? What should I pick... and attempt a marathon viewing of?

Alf is the only tv series I know from your selection. I enjoyed this on tv a long time ago. Hard to say if I still like it, because I haven't seen it since then.

Titus is cheesy?

Titus is cheesy? 

No idea really... as I said... only caught an episode or two on TV when it originally aired. But I thought I remembered it fitting pretty well... I could be wrong there though.

[addicted2dvd]

Votes on this one is all over the place. With ALF in the lead at this time. Probably would have been different if I made it so you could only vote for 1 choice.

[DJ Doena]

Alf is probably the show everybody has seen. Gilligan is purely hearsay for me. Often referenced in other movies and series but never seen a single episode. I'm not even sure it was ever aired in Germany.

[addicted2comics(:P)]

I've seen a few out of the handful you picked, dad, and I gotta say I think Gilligan's the best!

[addicted2dvd]

Wow Britt... You like Gilligan over Greatest American Hero?... That surprises me for some reason.

[addicted2comics(:P)]

What can I say? You can never tire of a series that can easily be solved by patching a hole in a boat. I recall a quote by the Mask. Something along the lines of:

"You've made a hut for every person here! You've made a radio out of coconuts! For goodness sakes man! JUST FIX THE HOLE IN THE BOAT!!!"

  I think that explain my attachment to it quite nicely.

I love the Land of the Lost tv series lol.... I could watch it for hours! I need to buy the DVDs

[Rogmeister]

I vote AGAINST Alf!     Who wants to watch a show where the star is a carpet sample?

Have you watched the show recently? Does it hold up ok?

[addicted2dvd]

  I liked  that show back in the day... though I think it did loose a little something since then. Probably why I still only have season 1.

[Dragonfire]

I watched Alf all the time..and I watched the cartoon set on Melmac. 
It has been ages since I saw the show though.

I watched the second season of Greatest American Hero not long ago.  I still like that one.  Poor Ralph, always crashing into stuff because he lost the instructions.   

[lovemunkey187]

I think that you should watch Titus and give us a review.

It's a series I've wondered about getting a couple of times but never have, so you can be the guinea pig
