Oh no! I don't know if I could stand to watch that again! I can't believe I ever did!
This is a little OT, but Empress Lilly, I love your siggy line! All you need is this pic!

Andy Griffith show, Star Trek, I Love Lucy, Gilligan's Island, Happy Days, Family Matters, Home Improvement, Seinfeld, Friends, Lost, CSI...all of those shows we're huge during their runs. I would expect to see scenes from each one. I can just imagine the Andy Griffith one with Don Knotts as an audio animatronic...classic! And maybe having Scotty beaming Kirk, Spock, and McCoy in the transporter room...that could be a cool effect! Tim hurting himself on his Tool Time set...Steve Urkel knocking something over saying "did I do that?" Ahh so many ideas!

The Roper's were good, but I have to cast my vote for Mr. Furley! If I had a dime for every time he made me laugh so hard my drink came out my nose.....well, I may not be rich, but i'd have some spendin' money!
Aah yes, good 'ole Ralph Furley. That was my favorite Don Knotts character of all time. (Yes, even more than Barney Fife, but he's still a close 2nd).The Roper's were good, but I have to cast my vote for Mr. Furley!

And does anyone remember the show: Perfect Strangers? It aired back in the 90's(?) during the TGIF lineup. We could include a scene in the ride where Larry & Balki are doing the happy dance.

I think there should be some kind of special homage to Lucy. She was in one of, if not THE most watched tv shows ever, I Love Lucy, which is still running today in SO MANY countries, as well as The Lucy Show, & The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour. And it was LUCY under DesiLu Studios, who agreed to produced Gene Roddenberry's rehashed idea for Star Trek, but using space ships rather than covered wagons this time, which is presumably why his first pitch was rejected (at least I hope!). It was pretty cutting edge for it's time, and not just because it was a sci-fi series, it had an inter-racial cast. It didn't run for very long (3 seasons) but if it wasn't for Lucy fighting to keep it going, it would've been canceled after the first season. She was an amazing woman and I LOVE watching I Love Lucy! It's one of those shows that is guaranteed to entertain any age, gender, or background.
Now everyone knows that I LOVE LUCY! And I'm proud of it!!
*P.S. I'm also a Seinfeld fan....seen every episode at least 3 - 4x or more. Seinfeld is a tough one....Jerry getting banned for not folllowing rules by Soup Nazi, Elaine stealing the risque 'Elaine' mannequin, George sending sexy pics to the One Hour Photo girl, Newman with poster size prints of George's racy pics, & Kramer in his car with the proctologist's personalized "a$$man" plates?
LOL!! I know, it's WDW! Ok, how about instead Newman eating Chunky's while carrying his 'Son of Sam' mailbag, George hanging out a window with a Marble Rye on the end of a fishing pole, Kramer feeding 'Rusty' the horse a wholesale can of Beefareno, and Elaine trying a zillion socks on Mr. Pitt. Then have Jerry in the center of these 'scenes' doing his stand-up act like in the beginning of the show. That'd be 'clean' & sorta funny.

OMG, yes! I used to watch Perfect Strangers! Wasn't Balki a goat or sheep herder? I remember his 'accent' had a dash of New York Jewish! I can't spell it but ya know the sound you have to make in the back of your throat that sounds like you're choking or coughing something up? Or if you say 'la heim' correctly!Aah yes, good 'ole Ralph Furley. That was my favorite Don Knotts character of all time. (Yes, even more than Barney Fife, but he's still a close 2nd).

Really? As many times as I've been to Orlando & WDW, I've never been to Universal. I don't know why, but we never really even consider it. I guess because it feels like 'cheating' on Disney! Lol!!

I'd like to see an ode to Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I'd love to see an animatronic of Salem... perhaps use one of the original animatronics from the show?

Read my mind.
Also: Star Trek TNG the final scene of the final episode with the crew playing poker. Great scene.
And that scene in Miami Vice with "In The Air Tonight" playing.
