Ok, did I miss where it got mentioned or is it coincidence that Sisters is re-airing on SOAPnet?

Frankly, I'm shocked "It's Garry Shandling's Show" isn't on DVD already.
Probably because nobody's pushing it. Wikipedia says there were 70 episodes. 70!

"Sisters" is still on SoapNet? I thought they dumped that one when they dumped "Hotel" and "Falcon Crest."
Seventy episodes? Well, I think we know now what Minear's problem is. He isn't working for Showtime.
ETA: In the meantime, let's analyze why brilliant shows like "It's Garry Shandling's Show" and "The Slap Maxwell Story" don't get DVD releases, while not-so-brilliant shows ("Too Close for Comfort," anyone?) get them right away...and I refuse to believe there was a large contingent pushing for TCFC releases, too.

I totally don't remember any of that RKK stuff. But at that time I was probably too involved with Ben Evans and Meg Cummings to notice other shows.

Still hsowing up on their website as showing. ANd I watched "Dear Georgie" (Georgie's advice column) a few weeks ago.

Ben Evans? Meg Cummings? You wouldn't be talking about "Sunset Beach," would you, Kristen?
ETA: Oops. Forgot to add "Homefront" to that "Brilliant But Cancelled" list upthread. For a show set in the 1940's (and the Midwest), it was off the proverbial hook.

Everybody remember when Marley's trulove (Perry?) fell from the hayloft(?) and died? I had such a crush on him, I think I cried every episode for a week.

No, but I remember the "Ladykiller" video. That made me cry...but not in a good way.

(sorry to interrupt the soap flow, but i have to ask.)
does anyone remember the show Freakylinks? that was FOX too, wasn't it? i loved that show. much like Firefly, Wonderfalls and The Inside one day it was there and the other *poof*. gone.

Yep.
I didn't watch "Freakylinks," because it didn't capture my interest any. But, you know what? I'm probably the only person on this planet who considers "Knots Landing" the Finest Show Ever Made...so, what do I know, you know?
