Hey, Vern, It's Ernest! (1988)
The best thing that ever happened to Saturday morning!
This show is hilarious! You never stop laughing. The writing is fantastic! Jim Varney is amazing as all of the various characters; you sometimes forget it's even him. And he is supported by an equally talented cast of actors and puppeteers.
Characters like Dust Bunny and George add the prefect element of fantasy to the world of Ernest P. Worrel and his neighbor, Vern. You also get to watch the antics of the likes of Bill and Coo, Existo the Magician, Lonnie Don, Chuck, Bobby and others.
The classic elements appeared in pretty much every episode, but you never got bored. It always stayed creative and funny. This is a fantastic program for young and old alike. If you can get yours hands on it, or catch it in reruns, do so. You will enjoy yourself, over and over again.
Dark Justice (1991)
This show rocks! Or at least, it used to....
This used to be a totally awesome show. But then Ramy Zada left and was replaced by some loser, and it just went downhill from there.
If you get the chance, see the Ramy Zada episodes. They were really good. There was the right combination of seriousness and humor, and good, creative stories. It really was good.
I've only seen a couple of the episodes with the new guy, and I guess they weren't that bad, but it's just not the same. See the Ramy Zada episodes, and you'll be happy.
Wish You Were Here (1990)
The early days of "reality TV"
This show was actually quite good. It was scripted and rehearsed, but watching it you almost believed that it was just this guy going around filming - travelling to various locales and interacting with people. It was very convincing, kind of the dawn of "reality TV." It was witty and fun. There were some one-liners and witticisms I still find myself quoting every once in a while. Definitely worth watching. I think it was only on for about 6 or 7 episodes, so getting a copy of it is bound to be quite a chore, but see it if you can.
