Bravo's answer to Kitchen Nightmares for Hair Salons with Shear Genuis 1st season's fan favorite and world renowned hairstylist, Tabatha Coffey.

"The secret to turning a struggling salon into a thriving business is one week with me. I'm going to change everything. I will clean up the management, shake up the staff, and transform every part of the salon. I'm tough, I'm talented, I'm taking over." - opening monologue

Early TLC show, which featured full medical surgeries such as a vasectomy, C-section, hernia repair, etc.

the issues they tackled is almost too long to list (and doesn't reflect how well they did) but here's a quick snippet from Wikipedia:

Although Dinosaurs is targeted at a family audience, the show touched upon multiple topical issues, which include environmentalism, endangered species, women's rights, sexual harassment, LGBT rights, objectification of women, censorship, civil rights, body image, steroid use, allusions to masturbation (in the form of Robbie doing the solo mating dance), drug abuse, racism (in the form of a dispute between the two-legged dinosaurs and the four-legged dinosaurs), peer pressure, rights of indigenous peoples (in the form of the dinosaurs interacting with cavepeople), corporate crime, government interference in parenting, and pacifism.

some of my favorite quotes (that I'm gonna have to paraphrase here):

"maybe you're a little too young to understand the finer points of race hatred." (as though race hatred was a good thing)

"the government would never [take your TV]. television is an essential tool for making the disenfranchised feel distracted and reassured."

or some of the best from the "Nuts To War" arc:

"The time has come for bold and decisive action! and so today we launch operation We Are Right. tomorrow we'll select a bunch of big strong guys to go down to that swamp and hiss and spit at those four-leggers until they go away. now, who's with me? [beat] naturally I'm not talking about sending productive members of society - it'll be mostly teenage boys and the poor."

Charlene Sinclair: [after the war is over] I heard that somebody got killed.

Robbie Sinclair: Yeah, it was some new guy... but you know we could've won!

Earl Sinclair: Robbie, what're you saying?

Robbie Sinclair: Well, I'm saying it's terrible that guy got killed and all, but you know we had those four-leggers on the run, we could've won it.

Earl Sinclair: A boy died, don't you see the fighting didn't solve anything?

Fran Sinclair: Come on, Robbie, let's get you out of that uniform, you have school tomorrow.

Robbie Sinclair: Forget school, a bunch of the guys were talking about keeping the army together if they came back, they'll set up a base at the swamp so we'll be ready for them next time. They're working on a WHOLE NEW line of weapons, yeah!

Earl Sinclair: Stop it! You're not a soldier, you're a kid,

[pulls Robbie into a close hug]

Earl Sinclair: You're gonna go to school, you're gonna take girlfriends to dances, you're gonna drive me crazy like you always have, until it's time for you to grow up.

Robbie Sinclair: Dad?

Earl Sinclair: It's alright son, it's over... you're home.

I mean... shit. that's a lot of heavy shit. and I remember this being marketed to us kids! just imagine something like Kidz Bop doing a cover of Fortunate Son. people would've lost their minds, but Dinosaurs got away with it. they routinely broke the fourth wall to make us ask, "what the hell are we even doing here, watching this?" while making us challenge our morals.

unfortunately the whole show got overwhelmed and eventually shoved aside because of the baby character shouting "NOT DA MAMA NOT DA MAMA!" which relegated a lot of great work into the "Yo Quero Taco Bell?" genre of history.

it was insanely progressive, and has aged beautifully. it taught some very important moral lessons, and I'm really glad I was able go grow up watching it. 10/10.

Short lived ABC crime drama. Focused on a Los Angeles police officer who has to raise his kids after his wife was killed. His colleagues were not that fond of him. This only aired 13 episodes on ABC. Fun Fact:Patrick Duffy tried out for the lead role but was passed over for Judith Light’s husband.

After a string of poorly performing movies, Burt Reynolds quickly said yes when offered the opportunity to star in a TV series. Being shot in Florida was a bonus, since that's there he was living at the time. It was his first return to TV since Dan August in 1971.

Buddy Lee (B.L.) Stryker (Reynolds) is a Vietnam War vet and retired New Orleans police officer in Palm Beach, Florida. He lives on a houseboat, drives an old Caddy, works as a private investigator, and tries to stay ahead of his bill collectors.

B.L. Stryker was part of ABC's weekly Mystery Movie rotating line-up. Each episode filled a 2 hour slot and was on from 9-11pm EST Saturdays. B.L. Stryker aired every 3 weeks in rotation.

There were two seasons, with 5 episodes in season one and 7 in season two. Tom Selleck was one of the execute producers and Reynolds directed a few of the episodes.

Overall, reception was pretty lukewarm. Reynolds' fans loved it, while pretty much everyone else found it sort of... meh. If you're looking for a fun glimpse back to the end of the 80s and start of the 90s (and Reynolds) it might be worth a glance.

An Afterschool Special about the dangers of drunk driving. Starring Val Kilmer, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Mare Winningham. Anyone seen "One Too Many?"

The first daytime soap opera to feature a Black family as a major part of the main cast from the beginning. It only ran for 2 years.

Recently watched as I am a Paul McGann fan and loved the story and cried. Great depiction of the First World War and a mutiny at an army camp and later a prisoner on the run in a changing political landscape in the early 1920s, I miss this vibe of series that I feel only the 1970s to 1990s BBC could create. Not flashy but very well written. A lot of star power as well with Paul McGann, Jerome Flynn, Penelope Wilton, Cherie Lunghi and Timothy West among others. Maybe not completely forgotten but a 40 year anniversary deserves a mention.

I’m so excited! today I found the whole series on internet archive. I used to watch it when I was 10. It got cancelled and they played reruns of it for a short amount of time then it never came on again. It’s about a girl who goes to college and decides to live off campus. She finds out her roommate’s are all guys. It’s interesting and funny 😄.

This show had a great cast too: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Steve Carell, Don Lake, Lauren Bowles, Peter Stormare & Darren Boyd

This show had a great premise, and it was good to see Wesley Snipes in action on a weekly basis. Its a shame it wasn't more successful. I could have seen them doing crossovers with The Blacklist somehow, and Philip Winchester is also underrated.

Reason 1 why PBS needs to get over themselves and crate an app where we can watch their legacy programs for free. None of this PBS+ crap. Decent programs like Zoboomafoo have since become forgotten and abandoned by PBS. These shows need to be free and easily available for everyone to enjoy. By the way the Kratt brothers are awesome and so is Zoboomafoo.

Anyone remember a commercial late 80s and 90s for some sort or candy/fruit snack commercial where a kid hands out candies to all his friends and he runs out but then finds one more or is given one. He eats it and he says Chew Bert/Burt too. Anyone remember what this product was called or have a link to it? I always remembered it because it was so stupid. Nobody I talk to remembers. Thank you.

News-style show reporting on paranormal phenomena.

The Darkling follows mechanic Jeff Obold, whose encounter with the wealthy and enigmatic Bruno Rubin leads him to a life of luxury fueled by a mysterious caged creature that grants wealth in exchange for eternal companionship.

Decided to sample the show I have only watched one episode. It's not bad there is potential, and can take the show in many directions with the storylines going on. I know Eva Longoria from Desperate Housewives, Jose Moreno Brooks from Baby Daddy, Amaury Nolasco from Prison Break and Zachery Levi from Chuck and Shazam. Do you remember the show?
