Your favorite long forgotten or canceled TV shows?

[Earthquake]

I'm in a curious mood, what are everyone's favorite forgotten shows? I don't care if they ran for 8 episodes or 8 years. As long as they're pretty much forgotten by today's general public, they're a contender. Here are mine:

Small Wonder (One of my favorite shows from the 80's)
Alf (Another one of my favorite shows from the 80's)
Harry and the Hendersons
Strangers with Candy
Andy Richter Controls the Universe (This show was genius! What the hell is wrong with you FOX?)

Mighty OrBots, a joint project between Japanese and American animators. I hope they bring it to DVD eventually.

wah-HOO, I finally get to mention Twin Peaks first.

Here's one more vote for Mystery Science Theater 3000.

That show just never got old for me...despite the exponential growth of absurdity that was the 'plot'...i could watch it forever.

I knew it would be either you or I mentioning Twin Peaks!

First I have to go with Off Centre--one of the funniest sitcoms ever and it was cancelled out of the blue in the start of the second season.

And second Unhappily Ever After--Kicks Married with Childrens ASS! a way better show-Ryan Malloy IS the show.

 

[Hecker]

I also have very fund memories of McGuyver.

 

[slerch666]

Exo Squad. (cartoon)

I'd shit myself if they ever released that on DVD.

Stunt Dawgs. (another cartoon) Super silly show with really bad puns, but I was strangely attracted to it.

 

[jeff bogard]

It's all about Mr. Floppy in Unhappily ever after.

And even though I have only seen seasons 1-4 of Ranma 1/2, I know the last season is 7... and there is no way I'm ready for it to end that soon.

Apparently there is going to be a Firefly movie. I guess Joss Whedon has already written the script.

And wait until you get to the ending. Just don't go into the final eps expecting well, I can't finish the sentence, since I don't want to ruin it for you.

That should be awesome, though I would have preferred the series last another few seasons.

Video Power: the early 90's game show where kids play video games against each other and answer vg trivia for points, and at the end of the show they got to run for a specific amount of time through a maze wrought with video game prizes. Any kid who made it to the end before time ran out got a chance at a neo-geo home system, and a wall full of games.

And I'll go with HBO's OZ. That show ruled my life for years. I damn near cried during the last episode, knowing I would never see these people again. Luckily they replaced it with Carnivale.
