Show Notes and Video Playlist: Bonus Episode: Forgotten (but popular) Series

*In this week's List-o-rama, we do a countdown format, so as usual, if you want to follow along and be surprised, please look at these show notes after you listen to the podcast!

*Perhaps neglected would be a better word than forgotten, but I tried to select programs that had at least 100 episodes and some degree of commercial success yet have not been widely available in recent years.

*One program on my list, Riptide, has been picked up by Roku Channel since we recorded the episode!

*Rich Man, Poor Man (1976) and QBVII (1974) both aired on ABC.

*Hotel (1983-1988, ABC) is an Aaron Spelling series based on a 1965 Arthur Hailey novel.

*Kate and Allie (1984-1989) aired mostly Monday nights on CBS. The cast featured Jane Curtin (who won several Emmys), Susan Saint James, Allison Smith, Ari Meyers, and Frederick Koehler.

*The Hogan Family (1986-1991, NBC/CBS) was discussed a bit in our Rhoda episode earlier this season. Legal battles with star Valerie Harper meant the series went from Valerie to Valerie's Family: The Hogans to The Hogan Family.

*Marcus Welby M.D. (1969-1976, ABC) won multiple Emmy awards, including for stars Robert Young and James Brolin. You can hear our Medical Center (1969-1976, CBS) episode here.

*Jake and the Fatman (1987-1992, CBS) starred William Conrad and Joe Penny as a D.A. and investigator who operated in L.A. and Hawaii during the series' run.

*Matt Houston (1982-1985, ABC) is another Aaron Spelling program.

*That's Incredible (1980-1984, ABC) often preceded Monday Night Football. 

*Enjoy our Real People (1979-1984, NBC) episode here.

*Simon and Simon (1981-1989, CBS) co-starred Mary Carver as the Simons' mother.

*Riptide (1984-1986) has received several DVD releases outside the US and was on Get TV in recent years.

*Knots Landing (1979-1993, CBS) is indeed on Plex as of this writing. Falcon Crest (1981-1990, CBS) has been available in various forms and right now is also on Plex.

*Empty Nest (1988-1995, NBC) was a popular Saturday night series for years.

*Mr. Belvedere (1985-1990, ABC) is one of the few big network shows set in Pittsburgh.

*A shoutout to the Trap-cast hosted by Amanda Reyes, a podcast devoted to Trapper John, M.D. (1979-1986, CBS).

*Finally, enjoy our video playlist for this episode, loaded with promos and intros of the series we mention in this episode, plus...Pernell Whitaker (It makes sense, sort of, if you listen to the podcast).
