Favorite forgotten tv shows

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

21 Jump Street

[Guest Youth N Asia]

My Secret Identity..I use to love that show.

 

Dead at 21...MTV show from years ago, cool story, they never finished it though.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

A few favorites from MTV:

 

Remote Control

Sifl & Olly

Downtown

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

 

The show that led me down the path to geekdom. From Kolchak I went to X-Files, then to Comic Books, and they took me the rest of the way.

 

Kolchak was the epitomy of a "cult TV show". It starred Darrin McGavin (A Christmas Story) as Karl Kolchak, a reporter for a small independant Chicago newspaper. He would always stumble on to a case of bizarre related murders and always end up destroying the monster with no proof to show for it.

 

Chris Carter has said that Kolchak was the inspiriation for The X-Files, which goes to show just how influencial the show was. There were two TV Movies and one Season made. If anyone has any of the episodes please contact me by PM.

I've been trying to remember the name of that Secret Identity show since this thread started.

 

I hate Dead at 21. It was MTV's first attempt at a real show and look where it led us.

And Please, no one say Saved by the Bell...that show has not fallen into Forgotten territory

A frickin' men to that, YNA!

 

Also, I'm with you on My Secret Identity...I thought I would be the first to post that, but two people beat me to it.

 

As for faves of mine:

That Was Then (it was just on this past fall...for two eps...)

Herman's Head

USA High

The Single Guy

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

USA High

This was one of my Guilty Pleasures.

 

I thought it was pretty decent.

 

 

EDIT: The Adventures of Pete and Pete/Salute your Shorts. Who in their right mind could forget these Classics.

Also, what was the name of the Theme Song for Pete and Pete ?

[Guest Zack Malibu]

NBT, our similarities as of late are too much.

 

Lazzarini owned, and you know it .

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

I never thought that someone would actually like 2Gether, USA High, etc as much as I did.

 

Jackson remains King of the Show...

[Guest T®ITEC]

Also, what was the name of the Theme Song for Pete and Pete ?

"Hey Sandy", by Polaris.

 

 

"Hey Dude", from early '90s Nickelodeon was, and is, a great show.

Also, "Soap", from the '70s. It's still on TV Land about twice a week. People do seem to remember it more than I would expect, though.

 

 

Oh, and from the first page... Finding out that Beecher was freakin' Chet from "Weird Science" was a terrifying experience... just now.

Crap, I forgot to put 2Gether!

 

TRITEC, I like Soap, but I wouldn't call that a forgotten show. It's a classic, just like Barney Miller, or Three's Company.

 

How about the old Spider Man live action show. Campy yes, but pretty cool for a kid (though not as cool as The Incredible Hulk).

 

Step By Step was a good show. That's one I haven't heard anyone talk about on here.

 

Oh, and if cartoons count, Bobby's World for sure was a great show.

[Guest starvenger]

since you're talking about the live Spider-Man, then you gotta include the Electric Company...

[Guest Youth N Asia]

by the time it aired I wasn't too into cartoons...but Mighty Max kicked ass

[Guest Eagan469]

...And what ever happened to Welcome Freshmen?!?!

"MURTLE! THE SAFETY TURTLE! HE ALWAYS PLAYS IT SAFE!"

 

"We're going to do things...the Coach Roachelle way!"

 

"We're going to do things *blows whistle* THE COACH ROACH WAY!"

 

 

[Guest JangoFett4Hire]

Morgan Freeman is great on the Electric company with his 'Fro

 

I liked that one time that Kevin Spacey guested on The Electric Co, during the spiderman segment, and he was a serial killer if i recall correctly, and he cut off MJ's head and had it delivered to Peter Parker who was waiting at some big open lot... anyone else remember that?
