Same here. That was great drama and really creative storytelling. It was the kind of series that could only exist on HBO. I wish the DVDs weren't so dam expensive.
Make me the third person in the thread to include Deep Space Nine, and the second person that will soon add The West Wing to my list.
I didn't know Sports Night existed while it was on (and apparently I'm not alone), but if I had watched it while it was on, I'd be missing it fiercely right now. As it is, I'm upset that they didn't make more than two seasons of it.
Until recently I would have said Kim Possible, but a couple months ago-- woo!-- Disney announced that they'd renewed the show for at least 22 more episodes. Boo-yeah!

Battlebots, actually. And I'm throwing my hat in with Sports Night, too.
NewsRadio (duh). Also add in Futurama and Dead Like Me. Especially DLM. At least NR and Futurama had some sense of closure. DLM had questions/storylines left to be explored.
"Speaking of Thomases, I loved your recent Atrocious GM Summit column, although I think that you flatter Isiah Thomas far too much by suggesting that he is merely one of a number of atrocious GMs. The truth is that Rob Babcock and Billy King are Einstein next to him. The mess he is creating right now in New York will be studied by business school students 50 years from now alongside Enron and pets.com."

Good lord, your userid is true.
But I do too. The looks. Art whazisname, Aunt Flabby (was is flabby or gabby? It was something like that), The Team time Movie, The awesome jokes, he was the king of the monologue, Carnak (although I think Paul Shaeffer does a nice job reprising it on Letterman), Hope walking on. The animals, the birdcalls (and again, I am glad Letterman continues that), and just Johnny being Johnny.
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.
I also loved DS9, UK Office, Sorkin's West Wing and Sports Night, but I just had a flashback.
I was emailing a friend about Kingdom Hears 2 and how his girlfriend would love it because Tron was in it. It got me thinking about Automan. I LOVED that show when I was six. It would suck today, but back then it was sooo cool because it borrowed heavily from Tron.

Originally posted by piemanI read the question as "which show do I miss appearing on?"
Likewise...but the TV show (well, game show) I was on is still running. Canadians in their late 20s will remember VIDEO and ARCADE TOP 10...I was on there twice, and won once.
Anyhow...
The shows I miss, that I used to enjoy watching:
Beakman's World Bill Nye the Science Guy Bizarre Camp Wilder Dead Like Me GI Joe GO BOTS WCW Saturday Night WWF Superstars WWF Cavalcade of Wrestling
I also remember a game show where the entire idea was to NOT LAUGH at a comedian. Can anyone remember it?

I don't like to think I've sold out but simply grown up and also changed tactics. As I tell my daughter, you can be right or you can accomplish what you think is necessary and important. The two seldom coincide.
