Help Remembering A Show

[calliopes_pen]

I’m trying to find out the name of a show that probably aired somewhere around the time period of 1995-1997. I don’t know how long it lasted, but it probably wasn’t that long judging by how often the reruns would start all over again. I saw reruns of it on USA Network around that time period. And it was either before or after Ned and Stacey--which was also being rerun around the same time. Wings was likely also airing during that time period of the day.

All I can remember is the show was a comedy, and aired sometime around 9 or 10 AM on weekday mornings, in reruns. I think it was set in New York, but I could be wrong about that. Most of the action took place in what looked like a run down apartment complex, and there were at least five people there.

I checked Wikipedia, and I can’t really find a list of the sitcoms that were reruns that the USA Network has aired.

If nobody on my friends list knows, I’ll ask the people at whatwasthatone--I just wanted to try here first.

On a non tv show search note: Over on Youtube, I found an animated version of The Tell Tale Heart, and realized that this 7 minute movie is what everyone in my grade ended up watching in 7th or 8th grade in English class. And, apparently, when it was first released in 1953 it was rated X in the UK. Not sure of the rating in the U.S., but you can watch it here.

ETA: The show I was looking for turned out to be a very obscure sitcom called Fired Up.

It wasn't Caroline in the City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_in_the_City), was it? It ran a little longer than the stretch you remembered.

There is a list of shows that took place in New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Television_shows_set_in_New_York) on Wikipedia. The top list on that page breaks them down by years they aired.

ooh, I loved Caroline. Lea Thompson is hot. And the guy that played Richard ended up being in this gay romantic comedy just a year ago, which I giggled really hard about when I realized who it was. He looks so different without glasses and black sweaters. >_>

I keep coming up blank with that description... I mean, that seems like the description of about every sitcom in the 90's. x_x and the number of sitcoms that USA rerun isn't really a large one in my head. I can't remember anything but Wings.

I want to say 2 Guys and a Girl, just because its a cast of five people that spend almost every episode in a crappy apartment, but I have no idea if it was ever on USA.

Something So Right aired around then and was aired on USA.

It might help to have more setting/plot info.

I asked my sister and she suggested posting screencaps to see if it helped. so here:









and the characters names are Pete, Berg, Sharon, Johnny, Irene and Ashley... Ashley didn't show up till season 3, I don't think.

No, it was a bit uglier of an apartment than that. The walls may have been very dark--either dark brown or black--and instead of a regular door to open it sort of slid. A solid sliding door, rather than a glass one. (Really cheap, as I said.)

And I think Two Guys And A Girl only aired on ABC--I occasionally watched it. To my knowledge, it was never on USA Network.

hmm. I have no idea, then. Like I said before, your description was kinda vague and basically covered all sitcoms in the 90's >>

[calliopes_pen]

Yeah, I know. And unless we're able to find a weekday schedule for that time period on USA, I doubt I'll find an answer.

The scary part is I managed to find a site that does that for the Sci-Fi Channel, beginning in 1994. Everything there ever was, up until now, I believe.

[bellehiver.livejournal.com]

wow o_o that's such a waste of effort and time. lol the sci-fi channel plays such shitty shows 98% of the time.

[calliopes_pen]

Not sure how anyone could do that unless they kept every single TV Guide they ever had.

Back when the Sci-Fi Channel first started, they didn't have nearly as many awful tv movies. They had a tendency to show older science fiction and horror movies.

It's their fault I got hooked on the 60's Dark Shadows, by the way. Heh.

[bellehiver.livejournal.com]

aaahhhh. I was never a big sci-fi fan, so I usually keep away from it. I tune in only for Firefly and Dead Like Me. :/

I'm sure there are people who do keep all their TV Guides. >_> crazy, crazy people who do nothing but sit at home and stare at their TV's.

Okay, oddly enough I think I've actually managed to find the show I was looking for. It's called Fired Up, and originally aired from 1997-1998. They aired it on USA Network around 1999-2000

I went to Archive.org, and went through the schedule for the network. I should have thought of that earlier.

For a little while, based on the descriptions, I thought it might have been Boston Common or Hearts Afire, but it wasn't. All of those shows aired in the same early morning range, though.

I just need to find something from all of those shows on Youtube to be 100% positive.

[bellehiver.livejournal.com]

hmm. if you find youtube videos, throw one up in your lj, cause I'm insanely curious to see what this show is like XD

[moonanstars.livejournal.com]

another possibility was zoe, duncan, jack and jane maybe.

I had never even heard of that show until yesterday, when someone posted a Youtube clip of it.

It turned out to be a show called Fired Up.
