Name an obscure tv show you don't think anyone else remembers....

Sledgehammer was kind of funny, briefly, when I was in elementary school. I think it qualifies as obscure because it was on Fox, I believe, and it was cancelled pretty quickly, so not that many people would have seen it.

Simon & Simon, with a fuckin' banger of a theme song:

I loved this show, but it was yugely popular, and ran for many seasons. It is old, so I could see it being obscure to newer generations, but not to Gen X, like I am, or older. That show was great.

Ok, this show was fun, but also, in retrospect, creepy. I loved this show, when I was in elementary school. Some guy with a plane/boat during WWII (I think) who flies around to all these exotic islands, meets pirates and broads, and fights some bad guys (nazis? I can't remember). Anyway, creepy in retrospect because....the main guy was some kind of . I forget the details, but he's a weirdo. It definitely was a cool show for kids, however. This one is definitely obscure, because it is older and it was cancelled after a season or two, I believe.

Sledgehammer was kind of funny, briefly, when I was in elementary school. I think it qualifies as obscure because it was on Fox, I believe, and it was cancelled pretty quickly, so not that many people would have seen it.

Sledge Hammer actually was on ABC for two seasons, September of 1986 to Feb of 1988 with 41 episodes. ABC was last in television ratings of the big 3 at the time and Fox was just starting up with a limited schedule. ABC kept moving the show around to different time slots. It was originally intended to be one season as Sledge detonates a stolen nuclear device in the final episode killing everyone. The second season was brought back as taking place 5 years earlier.

This was the time that commercial network television was losing out to cable television and video tapes. VCRs also allowed viewers to record programs to watch later so viewers weren't tied to a particular time slot.

The Immortal with Lorenzo Lamas

Show ran for one season back in 2000-2001. It’s basically a rip off of the Highlander in many respects. The protagonist is a guy who’s been alive for 400 years hunting down demons disguised as people, sending them back to Hell by decapitating them.

Very low budget and cheesy. I loved it. Canadian production as far as I know. Never met another person who remembers it.

Oh, and one time Bret Hart guest starred as the villain of the week.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Oh, another is a show that ran from 1998-2001 called First Wave.

Another obscure low budget scifi show, the premise was a man trying to stop an alien invasion with the help of the writings of Nostradamus. The “first wave” refers to the initial invasion wave comprised of aliens disguised as humans performing various psychological experiments on humanity.

Like the Immortal, it’s another production of dubious quality, but fuck it, I liked it.

Like the Immortal back when it was on I seemed to be the only person I knew watching it, so finding people that remember it today would likely be hard.
