Saturday nights on Network 2, along with Night Stand with Dick Detrick.

I always loved the intro to this show. I spent a day in Cleveland a few years back and this was all I could think about!

I loved the Drew Carey show. I think it finished up in 2004. It was on Network 2 at odd times.

I used to love this, had a quick watch of an episode. Didn't realise(forgot) that Kate was in Scrubs.
I really like Ryan Stiles, so had a google to see what else he was in, and a blast from the past popped up.

Parker Lewis, can't lose

Ah yeah, Mike Reid scared me as a kid, big shouty English voice on him. Much more suited to Eastenders.

If they brought it back I don't he would host it.

Apart from his voice, the fact that he died in 2007 might be an issue.

Ah, they have lots of technology stuff available now. I wouldn't worry about a little issue of him passing away.

Drew Carey show had a great cast. I have a few seasons on DVD that I break out every so often. Parker Lewis is a blast from the past. Never realised Jerry the desk clerk from ER was in it. Speaking of ER I saw Steve Carrell's new film, Beautiful Boy, tonight. Maura Tierney from ER was in it. Anyone remember another show she was in, Newsradio? Going back a good while now. It finished about 20 years ago. Phil Hartmann from the Simpsons was also in it.

Don't recall that but it triggered a memory of this similar themed series which focused on Old Testament stories. Greatest Heroes Of The Bible. RTE showed it mid 80's. Very campy and low budget.

"Mahabharat" shown in BBC in the early 90s. No-one send to recall it at all!

Twas epic, based on a Hindu epic, Mahaharata. It had it all!

From the BBC genome project:
In India this 91-part epic drama is cult viewing for 115 million people. A dramatisation of India's greatest epic poem, it's a tale of love, war and ultimately of good triumphing over evil.
