I never cared much for those trippy live-action kid shows, although I 
was on board with the Monkees in the late 60s, who probably started 
it all.

Check out www.jumptheshark.com for other examples of bad decisions 
made on otherwise good TV shows.

I remember Scooby & the gang from their first days on TV. They were 
of the same vintage as the Archies, and Josie & the Pussycats. I 
still haven't seen the recent live-action versions of Scooby or 
Josie, but I hear there's a Scooby2 in the works. I hope they leave 
out sCrappy!

Iggy, your HP show titles were all brilliant! Keep up the good work!
