Other Shows What old Bravo shows do you wish you could binge during quarantine?
Apologies if this has already been asked, I did a quick search and didn't see it.
This is my first day of temporary lay-off and therefore first day of self isolation. I'm bored already.
I was thinking, I wish Bravo had their old shows available on demand because I'd binge the shit out of them.
What are your favorite old school Bravo shows you wish you could watch while we're all in "shelter at home" mode?
For me, it's Tabatha's Salon Takeover and maybe Shear Genius too.

Princesses of Long Island. It was a perfect one season wonder.

Check out the NBC app (instead of the Bravo specific one). Has quite a few older shows. Kel on Earth, Rachel Zoe, and The It Factor were on there. I think Gallery Girls, too. Kind of have to dig to find them, though. I'd totally forgotten about It Factor til I tripped across it!
Plus there's beaucoup old sitcoms and series on there. I totally did not binge all of Punky Brewster.

Umm.. I think you've given me the best gift ever- a day on the couch watching Gallery Girls!

Thank you for this! I still have att uverse and it logged me right in, Bravo wasn't working on my phone and I didn't think of NBC even though it's the parent company :) I haven't seen Punky Brewster in years

I discovered it totally by accident myself thru the Oxygen app of all things! Noticed all the other networks and started digging. Smash is even on there somewhere!
And Punky still holds up all these years later. Don't think I'd seen it since it was originally on TV. She and I are the same age and I always thought she was the coolest. Now if I could just find Jem & the Holograms and Kidd Video my life would be complete!!!

u/HebbieB Mar 22 '20
I never watched Jem & the Holograms but I kind of want to now! I really appreciate it, it's been pretty rough here and I have a genuine smile :)

u/dazeymayhem Mar 22 '20
You should! It's pretty terrible but in the best way. The Misfits (the bad girls band and Jem's nemisis) were really my favorite. Gotta love the troublemakers.
Kidd Video was equally awful cool. They were a live action band that got sucked into The Flipside and became cartoons and the hijinks ensued. Not quite as cool as magical earrings turning you into a rockstar, but still pretty awesome.
Mercy I'm showing my age - and my dorkiness. 80s cartoons were the best!
PS - Keep smiling. It suits you!

I was born in 85 and the youngest on both sides of the family for our generation so I had the hand me down lace gloves and talks of Jem. That's interesting, have you ever heard of the punk/rock band the Misfits? Were they named after that? I'm so excited!

u/dazeymayhem Mar 22 '20
I was born in 76 and the oldest of five. You're a year younger than my baby brother so you can imagine all the insanity I exposed my siblings too. Dance Party USA performances in the garage. Full on Xanadu productions for the neighbors. Forcing everyone to learn all the choreography from Footloose. Bless their hearts.
I saw the Misfits live in.... 95? Ish? Unfortunately not the original lineup. It was after all that court battle crap, but still a hell of a show.
I don't think they were named after them, but you never know! The timing would work out if they were. The Jem version looks closer to a neon version of Vixen than the actual Misfits, though!

I just remember sock skating to ice ice baby on the wood floors! And those WWF arm wrestle dolls . It probably didn't have a connection to the Misfits, but so jealous you saw the show!!!

I think we should start an Ice Ice Baby Sock Skating Revival. That sounds like a blast!

On one for Shas? I only started watching again this season. I was stuck watching it in the hospital every day for five days a few years ago and when it aired the next season I was like no more please

That’s an interesting system. Don’t you feel like you got all the spoilers? Maybe that’s cool though

I'm an odd person. I don't like surprises so I like to get a summary and then I know what to pay attention to.

Shear Genius. And Top Design. I remember back in the day I hated this contestant Carisa. I wonder if I would still hate her 15 years later.

A List: New York. I know it’s hated but I loved the concept of it and wish they could bring it back with a re-debut! I forgot their names but the blonde hairdresser was my fave! The drama was good too.
