Why don't they put this one back on the air as reruns?
I used to really enjoy watching Lobo and Perkins they were a great comedy team. Sheriff Lobo was a most exquisitly delightful television series I am most sad not to see it on the television at this time I long to see it in reruns in the future. Ten thousand thank yous for the many laughs that I have experienced having wathed this fine show
Great theme song, LMAO ! Cornball late 1970's
A silly show. Funny intro. The Late 1970's, LMAO ! BJ and the Bear spinoff. Just plain Goofy and Ridiculous. The Show did not fit the 1980's, try hard to be modern Style, so it was canceled. CB radios and shows about Hicks, like Carter Country, BJ and Lobo died out. The Dukes of Hazzard lasted til 1985. Bring Back Sheriff Lobo! ( The Simpsons bit) Search it on youtube. Search the BJ and the Bear and Lobo intro themes too.
It's Back...Kinda
Hey.
RTN is showing this series (perhaps along with B.J. & The Bear?) on Sunday afternoons/evenings.
When it was running the first time, the NBC affiliate for Tampa Bay refused to air it in its network-mandated time slot for something else (I forget just what) and put it on some horrible late-night slot on Sunday night/Monday morning. So I saw the tail end of an episode for the very first time yesterday.
I don't know if I would have liked it back in '79~'80 when I was turning teenager and was beginning to get overloaded on car chase genre action shows. This show is just so TYPICAL. You have the old man Sheriff, the goof-ball deputy, the pretty-boy deputy, and then the usual Central Casting darlings you see in all these shows. The writing and production values are standard-level, neither all that great or all that awful. No wonder it never clicked like some of the others had at that time.
Okay...I'll say one thing in defense of this series--it was better than "Border Pals."

No regrets
Ok, I was only ten or so when I saw this show in my country, but, in spite of what some people can say, it used to make me laugh a lot. I barely remember much about the show, but the fact that sheriff Lobo and his relative (I think he was brother-in-law) most of the times ended up in some wacky situation or failing to success.
Despite the possible flaws it might have, Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo was better than most of the crap nowadays airing anywhere in the world.
Although TV shows cannot be rated like movies here, I would give this show a seven or so.

Underrated
I enjoyed B. J. and the Bear, and this spinoff The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo. Actually, Lobo is a common surname in India, so if there's ever a reboot to feature an Indian actor, this is it.
Anyway, there was some humor in TMOSL which warranted more than two seasons. Sadly it got axed, but I still have fond memories of TMOSL.

Did you know
- TriviaThis show was a quick spin-off of B.J. and the Bear (1978), when that show was an instant hit. However, ratings quickly dried up, and neither show lasted long. To make a more compelling product for syndication, all episodes of both shows were packaged as a bundle titled "The B.J./Lobo Show".
