East Meets West (98-03)
This was a fun show to watch on the early Food Network channel. I remember as a kid I wished I could cook like that. He made some amazing dishes.

Nightmares & Dreamscapes ( 2006 miniseries on TNT)
The show consisted of 8 episodes spread out over 4 weeks in the summer of 2006.
New Amsterdam (No not that one) 2008
Homicide detective gifted/cursed with immortality until he meets the love of his life. First episode he has a heart event indicating that maybe he crossed paths with her. It was good, my grandma and I watched every episode and it was interesting with a unique premise and good episode by episode arcs as well as an overarching mystery.
Mary Poppins (1982 WCBS airing) & The Flintstones (1997 WABC Movie) – NYC Broadcast History
I’ve been researching two NYC-area TV movie broadcasts that don’t seem to have much documentation online:
• Mary Poppins — CBS Movie, Nov 25, 1982 (WCBS-TV 2)
This aired as part of CBS’s holiday movie rotation, and WCBS often included unique local promos and seasonal bumpers during this era.
• The Flintstones — ABC Movie, Feb 21, 1997 (WABC-TV 7)
This was part of ABC’s Friday night movie lineup, and WABC frequently used distinctive mid‑90s local commercial blocks.
I haven’t found much information about these specific broadcasts, and I’m curious whether any home recordings or VHS tapings still exist.
If anyone remembers these airings or has details about the promos/commercials that ran with them, I’d love to hear more.
DM is welcome if you prefer sharing privately.
Thanks for any insight!
Trade Winds (1993)
NBC miniseries about two feuding families on a Caribbean island, bound together by a Romeo & Juliet romance. 77 Sunset Strip’s Efrem Zimbalist Jr. led a cast that was stacked with former daytime and 80’s soap stars including a trio of ex-Dallas actors - Barbara Stock, Andrew Stevens and John Beck. It aired under the “NBC Great Escapes” banner that also gave us the similarly soapy The Secrets of Lake Success.

Light as a Feather (2018)
Light as a Feather is an American supernatural thriller series that premiered on Hulu in October 2018. It is based on the book of the same name by Zoe Aarsen. The show follows five teen girls as they deal with the supernatural fallout stemming from an innocent game of "light as a feather, stiff as a board". When the girls start dying off in the exact way that was predicted, the survivors must figure out why they're being targeted — and whether the evil force hunting them down is one of their own. It starred Liana Liberato, Haley Ramm, Brianne Tju, Ajiona Alexus, Peyton List, Brent Rivera, Jordan Rodrigues, and Dylan Sprayberry. It was canceled in 2020 after two seasons and 26 episodes.

The Adventures of Rupert Bear (1970 - 1977)
A lot of people are probably more familiar with the animated series, Rupert, that came out in the 90's, but this was its predecessor.
The Adventures of Rupert Bear was a British live action puppet tv series created by former Gerry Anderson puppeteers, Mary Turner and John Read and produced by ATV.
The series was based off of the original stories by Mary Tourtel while adding in their own original elements like a sprite by the name of Willy Wisp, it was also the last time Rupert would be originally portrayed with Brown fur just like he was in the Daily Express decades before his portrayal in Follow the Magic.
The series was narrated by Judy Bennett and the theme song was written by Len Beadle and Ron Roker and sung by Jackie Lee, reaching No. 14 in the UK charts in 1971.
The opening sequence would open in a child's bedroom in live action where a toy version of Rupert would be sitting as the child would read a book on her bed before the story would start.
4 Seasons and 156 episodes were made, but for many years only 75 episodes were known to be in their original color film format while 16 were found in black and white.
The remaining episodes were thought to be lost until 2017, it was announced by the network that all 156 episodes in their original format had been located and were to be released to DVD in 3 volumes.
Hellcats (2010 - 2011)
I started watching clips of the show after popping up on my YouTube feed. I know certain things that happened on the show for that reason. Robbie Jones and Matt Barr both had roles on One Tree Hill. Matt played Psycho Derek, and Robbie played Quentin, and Ashley Tisdale and Aly Michalka both had roles on the Disney Channel, which is where I mostly know them from. Gail O'Grady played both mom roles for this show and Hidden Palms, which also lasted one season. I know Sharon Leal from Recovery Road. Did you watch the show?
