Sometimes something is so good that I get ticked off when it’s gone. Like, real ticked. I find myself sitting at stoplights thinking, impatiently, When are they going to bring THAT back? Haven’t they made me wait long enough?!
Because, you know, they do this to me on purpose.
Item 1. Six Feet Under. Best show ever. It’s about a funeral home and it’s rad. Notice how I’m not using the past tense? I just assume these characters are going on in real time, they just aren’t filming yet. When can HBO get past this point and pick up where we left off? I don’t care if Michael C. Hall is currently a moonlighting as an axe murderer on Dexter, as far as I’m concerned, he spends his days as the funeral director at the Fisher-Diaz Mortuary. Guys, I’m here, let me in!
Item 2. Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla. Like this even needs explaining. Angels wept when they discontinued this creation of wonder. I understood when Pepsi clear got the axe, but this? This was amazing. It was caffeine with a hit of sweet and sour all at once. No calories. Serve with pretzels and carrot sticks and call it a day. DCBCV, when are you coming back to me?
Item 3. CocoNelly the Cat Rap. Currently relegated to the list of One Hit Wonders of 2007, Coco is now six years past due for a comeback. Coco, oh Coco, wherefore art thou, Coco?
….Update! I was just informed that Coco past away in 2012. Oh sad news 🙁 RIP Lil’ Coco. You were a legend before your time….Also, just sayin’, if the Fisher family had its act together they could have handled your funeral, but that wasn’t an option, which makes the situation even more tragic). Big tummy scritches, Lil Coco. We’ll see you at the scratching post in the sky!
or every summer tv show set in a tropical paradise. Why do they always cancel those shows? I live in a rainy, dreery place, I could watch tropical tom foolery all day long!
I would have loved to see My So Called Life go on longer, heck I would even like an updated version of the characters in their adult lives. I totally loved Six Feet Under too and if it didn’t end the way it did I probably would have wanted more, but really has there ever been a better ending to a series than that? Next time I’m alone with my computer I’m going to google that last scene so I can feel the total body chills and cry my eyes out again!
Another item: Nestle used to have these lovely instant teas in the little tins. What happened to those? I was enjoying those!!
This is a given, the FireFly tv show. That was just a bad managment call to cancel that show. They still have a strong FB following after 10 years off the air.
Oh, and remember when McDonalds had those burgers where the toppings were in one side of the container and the burger on the other side, so it was all fresh and yummy when you put it together? Did I not eat enough of those to keep them around?
While I’m on a roll, how about the Sony Clie? What happened?? I loved mine! And there hasn’t been a palm device w/ as such a clear display since. Really,…why did the Clie get ditched?
You know how Warren Buffett just has to have Cherry Coke? Well, he took a taste test and picked out Dr. Pepper. Diet Dr. Pepper is the best diet copy available. Try adding some vanilla to it. There are many shows and many books that I think exist in a parallel universe, I just can’t think of them right now. Remember St. Elsewhere? What about Chicago Hope with your favorite Mandy? Ally McBeal? Boston Legal? The Life of Riley?
Thermasilk hair products. I used that stuff for probably 15 years. And with my thick curly hair I went through some product. They quit selling it around 2005 or 6? I have never been able to find a substitute yet!
Try checking the $ Stores, I found Breck there and hadn’t seen it in years. I’m thinking I saw some thermasilk products there too possibly…good luck in your search.
The television show D.E.A was on Spike tv … The Drug Enforcement Agency gets a new director and nixed the best show ever.
I know it was awful but I still wish The Class hadn’t been canceled. It had one season circa 2007. And Jesse Tyler Ferguson from Modern Family. Kinda loved the idea of an elementary school class reuniting years later.
Not sure where I was when the cat video came out….but I’ve watched it three times now, trying to figure it if that guy is serious or being ironic…maybe that was before ironic was trendy?? Either way, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to get this out of my head.
Hostess Caesar Salad potato chips. Need I say more?
I’m intrigued…
Found your blog via apartment therapy yesterday and I can’t stop reading, So great! I LOVE Six Feet Under. Still my all-time favorite. 😀
I agree about Six Feet Under. Definitely.
I also want a return of the Taco Bell Three Cheese Melt burrito. It was a vegetarian-who-likes-to-eat-fast-food’s dream come true back in the 90s. Then it just disappeared.
‘Veronica Mars’, so many cliff hangers. Grrrr.
Lol! Ok, just realized this article title is “SEQUELS Wanted”. I’ve been thinking the whole time I was reading it, and the comments, that it said “SEQUINS Wanted”, and I’ve been waiting to read something about Sequins…trying to find the connection….um, yeah, nope. A private laugh on a Friday afternoon is just what I needed, thanks Peach!
