Forgotten gems

Any shows you used to watch that have kind of fell of the sci fi earth?

Used to like the 4400 and Dead Zone.
USA usually has good series but they end so soon.

Don't know if it counts, but I'd say Eerie, Indiana. (A bit on it here if you're curious.) It was like the X-Files for kids, and arguably my favorite show as a kid myself (though I didn't watch much TV, and I'm not sure if that gives it more or less of an endorsement).

A friend (who was overjoyed to find an adult who remembered that show) had some fascinating fan theories about it, like Dash (with the plus-minus on his hands) was related to a TV remote control, and even tied it into Halloween III: Season of the Witch (how Dash brought over the stone that the warlock Cochran used). I'd have to refresh myself on the specifics.


That aside, I can only think of those that never were on the radar in the first place. Lots of people complain that they had no representation in the media growing up, but it was there...it just wasn't what everybody else was reading or watching. Glad I didn't limit myself to what the crowd saw, and in retrospect, see how being shunned did me more good than harm.

Wynonna Earp is a current gem. So witty, so fun. Tis my new Buffy.

I agree about Max Headroom.
