sam tvland shows it occasionally, maybe regularly, I'm not sure (I haven't really watched tvland since they started replacing shows like sgt. bilko with shows like three's company).

I try to get my sister to watch it - I tell her 'you get to see what carrie bradshaw (sex and the city) was like in high school!'

I remember something about one character dying his hair puple for the event, but then correcting someone about people "slamdancing" at the show: "Devo are not Punk!" Or something. I remember it being a big event for me at the time (almost as big as the debut of "Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park" a few years earlier on NBC).

Devo. Friday in Central Park. Whoo-Hoo!

eleven years pass...

This should be a thread about the show and it should be a lot longer. Its creator/producer Anne Beatts has passed. A celebration from last year:

One of the best shows ever that only lasted one season, at least in terms of US TV.

The Honeymooners was technically one season as well, so obv that's another one.
