You know what I miss?

I dunno, sometime after the early 90's they just dissapeared, I'm talking shows like the twilight zone, tales from the crypt, and the oldskool, way better "outer Limits", and movies like Creepshow/Freakshow....
I know I've missed a few on the small list, but I KNOW there was no shortage of 'em....they might've been ridiculous at times, some of 'em mighta sucked, but goddamn it, I kinda grew up through the 80's watching these, and they were always great fun....so, what the fuck happened????
Where are my half hour long, poorly acted horror shows?!?
Does this bother anyone else?

oh you are not alone on this.. I miss them too.. I really miss Tales from the Darkside and Monsters... every week I would wait for them to come on.. But then Tales from the Darkside moved to this othe channel and only came on late at night, so then I would have to stay up.. no biggie to me though.. when I was younger I lived for this stuff.. Why cant they just make a new series for us horror fans to watch.. guess they will do this with the horror channel, huh..

What about "Freddy's Nightmares"? I loved those...and Why did the "Friday the Thirteenth" series last so long while the others disappeared?...Tales from the Darkside and Monsters were WAY better...:mad:

Ever heard of the Sci-Fi Channel?

If you kids are still up after 12, they show all those old ass shows, but by that time I'm to stoned to pay attention anyway.

I use to LOVE "Tales from the Crypt", and the old episodes of the "Twilight Zone" and the "Outer Limits". Now all that is left is stupid "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" that show sucks. Then CBS came up with "Wolf Lake" now that show was cool to bad they canceled it. Dumb asses.

The last series I saw that was kinda like in the same ballpark, a bit higher a scifi to horror ratio in it, was called "Freakylinks"...anyone see that?
Still, all the same, when the fuck did these excellent horror-themed shows become NOT a good thing?!?
Also, while on the topic of TV in general, I watched what I thought was a great show a few years ago called "The Nowhere Man"....they stopped showing it here (for some dumbass reason) after about 5 episodes...can anyone fill me in on how the series ended???
LONG LIVE THE OLDSKOOL HORROR SHOWZ!!!!
