Do you remember watching any of these?
I am Canadian yes I remember Maniac mansion. Btw. Get a Life was a fantadtic show!
I definitely remember staying up late at my buddies house to watch Dream On😏
Get a Life still holds up. Funny show.
I remember watching Get a Life with my parents.
No
Get a Life was really funny and way ahead of its time. Would’ve fit in with modern Adult Swim humor.
The title card with this show is why i watched the video
@@matthewverostek5567 me too
remember how they cooked and ate that [ self basting ] alien
The greatest!!!
Nothing weird about Get A Life. It's a gosh darn masterpiece.
Easily one of the funniest shows ever made. That episode where he's stalking a woman while another woman in stalking him who is in turn being stalked by another guy is sheer brilliance.
Hilarious
Facts. Like an Adult Swim show
@charlottecorday8494 I remember that episode. It was wild cause it ended whit his own stakes killing him. It was a show perfect for the 90s It just air in the wrong years and fox was not watch that much before they bought the rights of the NFL. If air in mid or late 90s or air on USA network it might have lasted longer.
It was just a few years too early i can agree with that.
I LOVED Get a Life!!! I remember the episode where they get toxic poisoning and really smart fondly😁
Yes, good episode
The episode where he finally learns to spell the word "pants." There is no K after all!
My favorite episode is a toss up between Handsome boy modeling agency and when Chris is going to be replaced by a robotic "paperboy"
I love _Get a Life_ ! So glad it is getting some recognition for others to discover it.
I think Brad Jones put it best when he said that "Heil honey I'm home." could only work as a five-minute sketch not an entire series.
Get a Life was one of my favorite shows of the 90s (along with Parker Lewis Can't Lose and Eerie, Indiana)
Pretty solid list
Same. All of them ended too soon!
I remember watching eerie indiana that was a good show.
Yup!
Eerie, Indiana was the best!
I love how you referred it as a "purging of the leftovers from the 80s". I've never herd it described like that, good job sir!
USA and Canada: Aliens and puppets and talking dogs are funny!
Britain: You wanna know what's reeeaaaally funny...
😆
@KyleRDent, I am afraid I am not catching on to the clue here
@@keithtorgersen9664Heil Honey, I’m Home was produced by a British broadcaster.
@@gabepollock1641 what a great intro... a head of its time with ASIP
The Get a Life producers were ahead of the curve. I don’t know how “big” REM were by 1990 but hearing Stand in the intro absolutely caught me off guard.
R.E.M. were quite big by then. "Green" came out in 1988. I was in 8th grade and "Stand" was on the radio all the time, as was "Orange Crush". When I briefly tried to learn guitar in high school, "Orange Crush" was one of the songs I tried to play! 🙂 "Out of Time" came out in 1991, which was their biggest commercial breakthrough, but "Green" came very close.
I don't know why this popped up but I'm so grateful it did. That intro of the guy delivering papers, along with a bizarre handful of odd and bizarre shadows of memories, has been stuck in my head for ages and I could not recall what the show was called.
Thank you!
No problem, I love rediscovering these old shows I've mostly forgotten about.
I remember watching Maniac Mansion up here in Canada.
Fun Fact: The big toddler man did the voice for Beast in the X-men animated series.
Only other time I've seen George Buza was on SCTV: playing the bartender in the Nutty Lab Assistant, and a studio audience member in Just For Fun; where he socks Pierre Trudeau (Martin Short) for kissing his wife.
This channel is awesome. I remember Get A Life. Chris Elliot is majorly underrated.
Thank you
This channel is always such a surprise... I did nothing but watch TV 8 hours a day from roughly 1985 to 1999, and I don't remember any of these!
Filling the void 😌
I watched a lot of TV during the same period. Only child living with a mom who worked hard and partied harder...so a lot of time alone. Sitcoms and movies got me through.
I saw an episodes or two of Dream On.
I was thinking this before I even started watching this video. There’s always some shows I don’t remember or something I didn’t know about shows I liked. This channel has some quality content!
sometimes I only remember the theme songs to some of these
I did watch the Chris Eliot show, I was only 11 that year but loved the early 90s kind of humor; still do
I did watch "Dream On". I remember back then that it was talked about how the show was one of the first cable shows to achieve mainstream success. I do think its largely been forgotten nowadays. I only other show I remember "Get A Life", but never watched a show.
Dream on is a weird one in that you remove the nudity and cursing and it's a rather tams show
I saw Get A Life and clicked. That show was twisted genius, and it's a shame Adult Swim wasn't around then. They would have gotten it. "Spewie and Me" is one of the greatest things to ever be shown on TV.
(By the way, your dad sounds awesome.)
😆 thanks
Man I miss the 90s we had the best of everything.... Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Toys R Us, K.B Toys, RadioShack, Circuit City, Eckerd Pharmacy, Discovery zone, The Original Tamagotchi's Gen 1 and 2, Pokémon Pikachu, Giga Pets, Gameboy color, Bopit, Chia Pets, Simon says, Are You Afraid Of The Dark, Goosebumps, Salute Your Shorts, Street Sharks, killer tomatoes, Pete and Pete, Mighty Max, Gargoyles, Bonkers, Goof Troop, Gummy Bears, Darkwing Duck, Doug, Hey Dude, Gulla Gulla Island, My brother and me, Bill and Ted 2, the sandlot, Airborne, Clifford, Drop Dead Fred, The Ladybugs, Sidekicks, 3 Ninjas 1 2 and 3, problem child 1 and 2, What About Bob, Hook, Jumunji, Jack, The Mighty Ducks, 1 2 and 3, DuckTales, I can go on forever 📼📺😁
I can definitely agree
Eerie Indiana too.
@@TheReviewStudios 🙂👍
@@pureblood3388 That definitely should have been on my list 🤦♂️ lol
35 cent sodas at Eckerd got me thru man.
Get a Life was funny when I was child.
Get a life was hilarious
I think "Heil Honey, I'm Home" is absolutely brilliant. It's not a parody of Hitler, it's a parody of sitcoms! The creators asked and answered an amazing question: what would happen if we took the classic sitcom formula, and built it around the most ridiculous possible choice for a main character? I think the idea is hilarious and they actually executed it really well, they perfectly captured the 1950's sitcom feel. I really hope the un-aired episodes get released!
You spoke my thoughts aloud when you said the dummy looked like it was straight out of a horror film, it exactly reminded me of the dummies they used on the Goosebumps TV show
90 and 91 were weird years…
Still my favorite 2 years of my life.
Yeah I was going from kid to teenager
@@shushymcsecret993 I was 15 going on 16. 1990-1991 were the last 2 years my life was "normal" as I remember it. From 1992 onward, everything started to change, and not all for the best. There were still some good years, but I feel like 1991 was the last year of a significant chapter of my life, the best chapter of my life.
I watched a LOT of Dream on as a kid. I also loved Nick at Nite which was like a primer to the humor on Dream On.
That was Bryan frickin Cranston.
You didn't even mention that "Dream On" was created by Marta Kauffman and David Crane, who would go on to create a little-known sitcom for NBC four years later called "Friends."
Yeah but who remembers friends, right? It wasn’t really popular or well known 😢😂
Herbie The Lovebug got his own sitcom. Let that sink in.
Which was re-run in the early days of Disney Channel... so it actually got seen by two different generations.
In the 80 a talking car name Kitt got his own TV show too. So what the big deal?
@@INFERNO95 Herbie wasn't KITT, "that" the big deal.
I fail to see the significance of that. People liked herbie, so what?
@@josephrusso4828 Well, how's ten likes? Significant enough for ya?
I vaguely "remember" some of them, but didn't really watch them aside from a few episodes of "Maniac Mansion" out of order. I turned 10 in 91, I was often pretty busy with homework at the time and the only exception I could really get my dad to make was to allow me to watch Star Trek TNG/DS9?VOY episodes (new/reruns) during homework breaks in the 90s.
80’s and 90’s had awesome shows. Nobody took themselves seriously, it was fun and nobody was offended
Only decade that was better with humor and shows were the 60‘s.
Thanks for more shows i love watching old shows
More to come!
I remember watching “Get A Life” when I was a child, and for a long time I thought it was a weird fever dream that didn’t exist when I was older.
I am truly shocked to NOT see Woops! and Herman's Head on this list.. I watched those, along with Get A Life religiously as a kid.. I wonder if I can watch them somewhere 🤔
Herman's head was featured on the 1991 video
I remember Dream On the best. What a Dummy is a show I know I've seen but have little memory of. The rest of them I never watched at the time.
4:51 Turner is a toddler but mutates into an adult after going into a chamber (trying to retrieve a ball). The uncle (played by John Hemphill) goes in after his nephew but is mutated into a fly.
A sitcom about Hitler ?? How did this ever happen??
Dream On by far is one of my favorite old TV shows wish I could find some episodes
Maniac mansion all of its episodes can be watched on UA-cam not sure about get a life but probably alot of shows from the past can be found here and maniac mansion is definitely one of them used to air on Saturday mornings along with the cartoons
The 1990s , that's when the gentle slope of everything in general began to speed up.Every 20 years there's another shift to a new chapter in our history. It's mind-bogglin.
Dream On was a staple of my childhood. I still maintain that show invented the reaction GIF
Wow I had completely forgotten Maniac Mansion, only after seeing the fly man did my memories return.😂❤
They used to show 'Dream On' Friday nights on Channel 4 here in the UK.
It was great! The b&w daydreams of old tv shows were a really clever idea.
Jfc I remember Maniac Mansion, only in bits and pieces though. GOna have to find it again =]
Loved Get A Life. Never missed an episode
The three that I remember are Dream On, Get a Life and What a Dummy. I remember Dream On started out airing at 830pm on Friday nights right after Tales from the Crypt. What a Dummy I remember airing on Saturday mornings usually right after cartoons.
I was terrified of living dolls. “What a dummy” would’ve traumatized me
Dream On was a great show I like how the main character used cutaways from old TV and movies to go along with his real life Even the edited syndicate was so good 😊
I suppose someone powerful dismissed it or sold it off due to scandal?
Dream on and Get a Life were excellent shows.
Dream On and Get a Life were great shows! I loved them, I totally forgot about them until now! 🤩
I really enjoyed Get A Life as a high school senior.
Dream On and Get a Life were amazing to my 12 year old mind! Great memories
Stephen Dorff was in "What a Dummy". I wonder how often he gets approached about that?
Get a Life was so rad.
I didn't think I'd know any of these, but i LOVED 'Get A Life' in the early days of Fox as a kid! Fox's Sundays were do 🔥 in the 90s
Early days of fox was great
I loved both Dream On and Get A Life. Both hilarious in their own way.
Maniac mansion was like a weird dream I thought I had a child
Get a life I only recently became a fan of
Had to get it on dvd
So great
Dream On was great. I have a very associative style of thinking, so I do sometimes randomly think of TV and movie lines.in my head.
Forgot Dream On. Damn I love my UA-cam subscription more and more because of these type of videos
"Idea for a sitcom; we make a Family Guy cutaway gag a real thing!"
"Who...?" "WHAT...?!"
"Well, maybe you guys aren't quite ready for that one yet. But your kids are gonna... like it... until they don't...?"
Thought they did that in Scrubs a few times.
I just bought the complete series of Get A Life on DVD….. I remember watching when I was 10ish….. I thought it was funny back then, but I’m sure most of the real jokes went over my head. Looking forward to revisiting it now that I’m 40+ years old……
I've actually seen a few of these back when television still existed.
Good video 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
I only really remember Get a Life. Used to watch that all the time, with my parents. I think i may have seen Dream on, but am not sure. I would've loved what a dummy, if i'd seen it back then.
Thanks for sharing
Shout out to the Maniac Mansion video game, I loved it and another random one from the same company when I was a kid
These show's were fabulous!!
I relate to Dream On because I was raised by the tv 📺 too.😅
Dream On and Get a Life were great shows my roomates and I loved back in the day.
Get A Life was excellent!!! Wish it lasted longer...😢
You were definitely right about the USA morning syndications on Get a Life. I have a vhs recording of some. I hated not hearing the REM classic. They would air right after either John Laroquette show reruns or Wings. Dont remember which one.
Dream on and Get a Life I definitely watched but everything else I never watched them or even heard of before , but thanks for the throwback shows bro I really appreciate the nostalgic trip you take us on 👍🏾🫡
No problem, thanks for sharing.
I only ever saw the first two. Crazy how many shows have come and gone!
The Tippy Top episode of Dream On is comedy gold!
Dream On was a masterpiece decades ahead of its time. Shame it will never clear all the clips so people can see it.
yeah its been a nightmare to get streaming rights for the series.
I remember dream on mainly for the intro the show wasn't bad considering how weird it was probably one of the first original series on HBO I ever watched
Thanks for sharing
They made a TV show off one of my favourite computer games of all time?!?
I thought the same thing. Crazy that I didn't see the show back then.
@@jxchambWe never had cable when I was a kid, but it's still wild I've never heard of it until half an hour ago!
@@charlottecorday8494 Same. Our street didn't have enough houses for them to justify installing cable lines.
I LOVED get a life. I would watch it with my family every week as a kid!
I remember all of these to some degree, with the exception of the last one - I've always seen memes and references to it, but never thought it was a real show. The 90s were a strange time
I remember Get a Life. Was part of Fox's Sunday night along with Flying Blind!
I vaguely remembering watching Dog House, but I loved Maniac Mansion.
Was hoping Herman’s Head was on here but must’ve been a year or two later ❤
Oh you're in luck! My co creator covered that as well in the subsequent Weird 1991 video right here on the channel. Thanks for checking us out!
Freakin' loved Get A Life! Own the DVD. Chris Elliott has never gotten the respect he deserves.
He really could've had a bigger career.
@@TheReviewStudios He’s had a very solid career
Get A Life and Maniac Mansion were two of my favorites!
I was way to young to have been watching Dream On lol! I loved that show.
I remember watching that Chris Elliott show and I could never remember the title of it. Fox was so weird back then lol
Literally, the ONLY one I remember is 'Get A Life'. And I think if I had seen any of those others as a kid, I would've had Permanent Nightmares. XD
I still quote, "THESE PIPES ARE CLEAN!!!" from Get A Life, all the time.
I loved Get a Life, and I still quote it all of the time.
Favorite line from "Get a Life": "Chris, whatever else happens here today, they can't take away your dignity. Cuz you've pretty much done that yourself with this little outfit of yours."
😆
I remember Dream On I never saw the show but it's great. 😀👍
I remember loving Get a Life. It was so goofy. I havent seen it in 30 years.
I remember "Dream On" and watching it the first year it was on HBO even though i wasnt exactly age appropriate to do so. Unfortunately you cannot watch this show on any streaming service, even max doesnt have it. Wish i could watch the complete un edited series again.
yeah its definitely unfortunate
Sprewey and Me was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. So glad I found Get a Life on DVD.
nice
Get a Life was the only one I actually saw. I remember I was mad when it was cancelled, but I honestly don't remember anything else about it beyond the opening credits.
Maniac Mansion haunts my dreams til this day...for the longest, I thought it was just a figment of my imagination 😂😂😂
I used to stay up late at 13 to watch Dream On on HBO 😅 Another weird show I liked from then was "Herman's head"
I loved Dream On, started watching it for the obvious a 12 year old kid would, because I knew I wasn't allowed 😂, but it turned out to be a well written show, I stuck with it till the very last episode! I really wish Max would make the series available for streaming, I tried collecting the dvds years ago but only found season 1 and 2.
I think it has something to do with either music or clip rights
Enjoyed Get A Life, vaguely remember What A Dummy, and miss the Big Red commercials.
That Big Red song has been stuck in my head for days.
Get a life was such a surreal show. Even at like 6 or 7 years old, and also thanks to many explanations from my older brothers, we understood why a completely utter failure of a man like Chris was hilarious. He was just so incompetent and nobody respected him lmao. I remember this one episode where he was going to leave his parent's house, but the ENTIRE episode was about him not being able to leave the house because the doorknobs were broken and a few other technical reasons he didnt know how to fix. He LITERALLY was too incompetent to run away from home lmao. Man I miss that show.
Maniac Mansion- man, I was so mad that it didnt really have anything to do with the Nintendo game. Or at least it didnt have the same story.
That was a great episode
I was 9 years old at the time and I remember watching it with my dad.
Heil Honey didn't even finish airing. The broadcast was cut in the middle of the show after the station was innundated with phone calls complaining about it.
Oh wow
I was laughing the whole time when it aired. It worked for Hogan's Heroes.
But, they were victims! Of network TV! Oh wait, hypersensitivity wasn't in full swing yet.
Dream On is an incredible show. It gets no love at all and isn’t available anywhere. It’s really sad that you can’t watch it.
I remember What A Dummy. It came out when I was in high school, and I had a burning hatred for Buzz.
I remember the intro for Dream On. Definitely watched Get A Life and the Dummy show. It’s weird how much aliens were a part of 80s and 90s plots
I know, right. Thanks for sharing
