Name An Old, Obscure Television Series You Liked

[Dinger]

I liked the one that was a spinoff of Gunsmoke, with an old lady name Dirty Sally, and Dack Rambo played her sidekick.

[u4ic]

1. Hilarious House of Frightenstein

http://www.frightenstein.com/

Here's their website...since I forgot to include them under 'the favourite Canadian shows' thread. It was a kids show, but I watched it as an adult and loved it, too!

[ghostsofgiants]

31. DAMN! I completely forgot about that show!

[BobEPeru]

36. I have episodes on SLSK

[u4ic]

117. Welcome to DU!

:toast:

What is SLSK?

[BobEPeru]

244. Thanks

SLSK=Soulseek, which is a file sharing program.

[MiwSher]

183. It's playing in Canada again

on the Drive-In Classics channel. :)

MiwSher

[u4ic]

216. Thanks for that info

unfortunately, I don't get that channel. x(

[Canuckistanian]

222. Billy Van

My father-in-law knew him.

Rmemember "Party Game"?

[u4ic]

229. He was such a talented chap

I vaguely remember Party Game.

[Canuckistanian]

231. Dinah Christie? Hart Pomerantz (who the hell WAS he?)

It was a televised game of Charades. Scoring system was ridiculous to non-existant.

As a puzzled 9-year old, I didn't quite get the point of ths show.

[DanCa]

2. San Deigo Beach Bums and The Kids from CAPER.

Allthough the Kids from Caper was a very bad saturday morning rip off of the monkees.

[kmla]

53. Wasn't it "San Pedro Beach Bums"?

:shrug:

[kmla]

54. Oops.

I'm quite the idiot today...

[HughBeaumont]

92. I remember that when I was 8!

[ellie]

115. I loved the San Pedro Beach Bums!

My friend's family was a Neilsen family and I begged her to write down in their TV diary that they watched it. It was cancelled after a couple of episodes.

[DanCa]

173. Ah my appologies. The show was so obscure i goofed on the name.

[enigmatic]

3. Then Came Bronson

The "coolest" TV show ever; at the very least, it had the best opening.

I was too young to watch when it played first-run on tv, but I love "Route 66", too. Both shows fed my wanderlust, even as a kid...

[DanCa]

4. Route 66 was great. I also remember 77 sunset strip. (nt)

[texanwitch]

8. I have seen some 77 sunset strip shows on cable.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Man, I LOVED that show!

Went out and got me a watchcap like Bronson's. I'd wear it and sunglasses while doing my paper route on my Sting Ray. Some guys at school actually called me "Bronson."

I even bought the 45 of "Long Lonesome Highway." :7

Goin' down that long, lonesome highway
Bound for the mountains and the plains
Sure ain't nothin' here gonna tie me
And I've got some friends I'd like to see again
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But 'til I do I won't be hangin' 'round
Goin' down that long, lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way

[enigmatic]

10. Has Bronson ever been released on DVD?

I've never looked; I'd love to pick up that if it has...

I had the watchcap for awhile when I was a lid, too; I just remember Michael Parks being the coolest dude on TV when that show was on..

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Amazon doesn't have it

So I guess not. It ran only the one season.

I still remember a few episodes, like the one where Bronson hooked up with a company baseball team and caught Kurt Russell, and got him to stop tipping his fast ball and curve.

[sendero]

164. I LOVE Route 66...

...and even have a bunch of them on tape.

[Moochy]

5. Land of the Giants!!

I only saw it on reruns




http://www.iann.net/vaults/giants/index.html here is the gallery to remind you all.

Now looking at these pics, I realize why I liked the show as a kid! hubba hubba!

[terrya]

20. I remember "LOTG" very well.

Gary Conway...*sigh*

[Frank Cannon]

87. Hopefully, we'll see the Spindrift on DVD soon...

...since Lost in Space and Time Tunnel, two other Irwin Allen shows, have hit DVD.

I loved LOTG. I was little when the show was on, and whenever my cousin came to visit we used to play "Land of the Giants".

[Skip Intro]

201. YES! Land of the Giants!!!!!!

LOVE that spaceship, or whatever it is.

[TheBaldyMan]

7. Please do not adjust your set ...

IIRC had pre-python Eric Idle and Michael Palin in it, from the late '60s B&W kids TV program.

[mzteris]

33. Outer Limits?

I loved watching that.

[MiwSher]

184. That was one of my favorites,

I'd watch it every week, have nightmares all the rest of the week.... and watch it again the next week! :D

MiwSher

[pokerfan]

9. "Hot L Baltimore" (1975)

"UFO" (1970)

[bertha katzenengel]

78. I loved "Hot L Baltimore" -- World, meet Conchata Ferrell!

LOVE her!

[Radio_Lady]

155. She was beautiful and skinny and talented! Years later,

two out of three ain't bad!

She had a terrible automobile accident somewhere along the line. I occasionally see her in films.

http://www.us.imdb.com/name/nm0004916/

[Awsi Dooger]

11. It's About Time

I was a kid when this was on, maybe 6 years old. My parents were in a bowling league and I got dumped in the nursery at the bowling alley along with children much younger than myself including my 3 year old sister. Every week I'd watch It's About Time along with the woman who ran the nursery, while the other kids played with blocks and stuff. I have no idea if the show was any good and I don't think it lasted very long, but it fascinated the heck out of me at that age. Something about going back in time to caveman days.

Land of the Giants is another great nominee. I loved it when the "little people" would hide behind cups and yank phones to the ground and strain to dial a number.

[NoPasaran]

83. I remember It's About Time

The first episodes involved astronauts who went back to the Stone Age... then they brought some cavepeople back with them who had to make their way in 1960s America. Was it any good? As an 11-year old, I thought is was more intellegent than "Lost In Space", which I admit isn't saying much.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. Austin Stories.

Not that old, few years ago, on MTV, likable group of low-key oddballs,
quietly absurd, just one season, I think.

[grrl62]

65. that was a good show

i miss it.

[jobycom]

128. MTV killed the show because it was too successful

They were afraid the stars would start demanding large contracts, and they couldn't afford them.

Really good series. The characters were memorable, and the writing was a precursor to the lowkey, deadpan style of Napoleon Dynamite, although it was still fresh on Austin Stories.

[Clintmax]

14. Shazam!

The Saturday Morning live action show for kids in 1974 & 1975.

[alphafemale]

18. Soloman - Hercules - Atlas - Zeus - Achillies - Mercury!

Or something like that. :D

[Clintmax]

28. Yep! You got it!

"Chosen from among all others by the immortal elders; Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achillies, Mercury..."

[DanCa]

26. The Shazam Isis power hour rocked. (nt)

[Clintmax]

30. Yes, it did! Link:

Here's a link to the intro theme of Shazam!
http://members.tripod.com/whittakill/shazsounds.htm

[SKKY]

15. "Soap" and "Love American Style"...

...My parents wouldn't let me watch them because they were "dirty". Of course, that only made them more intriguing.

[CBHagman]

77. Neither is obscure, though.

Soap in particular was regarded as extremely ground-breaking at the time, especially due to its depiction of a gay character.

Love, American Style had a sketch that formed the basis for the long-running comedy Happy Days.

[SKKY]

16. Dave Allen at Large...

...I can't believe I almost forgot that one. I was 14 when that show came on after the news on WLKY Channel 32 in Louisville. I felt so "grown up" when I watched it because I would actually get his jokes. Anyone know it?

[AllegroRondo]

44. I loved it

Channel 11 in Chicago would play it right after Monty Python on Sunday nights.

He just died recently, too.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

89. The BBC have just started repeating this on Saturday nights!

They repeated "The Unique Dave Allen" (which was a 1997 six-episode retrospective of his career, including a contemporary interview with him) over Christmas in memory of his passing. It did so well that they're started repeats of "Dave Allen At Large" which I hope they'll keep up for the complete run as I've only seen highlights in various compilations.

edit to add - this came out just before Xmas:

The Essential Dave Allen edited by Graham McCann (

Lost to the world last year, the chain-smoking, whisky-sipping, sharp-dressing Dave Allen was a giant of cool compared to most contemporary comedians, and McCann's introduction is a fine mini-biography and tribute to the man. Reading through this addictively browsable collection of his material, one also fears that he could probably not have continued his dazzlingly savage mockery of the Roman Catholic church for fear of being prosecuted under Tony Blair's new rules against inciting religious hatred. Too bad. The world of Allen's jokes is a study in the ceaselessly imaginative reworking of a handful of situations: two drunks walking down the street, someone meeting the Pope, a little fella dying. The comedy can be cruel, but it's never nasty. At times, riffing aphoristically on time and death, it can read like a woozy Schopenhauer. I especially enjoyed the one-liners that illuminate critical facets of my own ancestry, such as: "A word like 'procrastination' takes on a sense of urgency in Ireland."

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0340899433/

[u4ic]

119. I watched it growing up,

on the Buffalo station (I was in Toronto). He was great!

I remember him coming to T.O. for a couple of shows, and they were sold out within 2 hours. I wasn't able to get tickets. x(

[bullwinkle428]

148. What a FANTASTIC choice! The first thing I thought of when I

saw the thread title! I grew up in the Buffalo, N.Y. area as well, and watched the show on our local independent station. It was very biting satire that somehow managed to maintain a good-natured spirit about it. I was looking at the commentary on the show over at www.jumptheshark.com., and found nearly everyone there was a huge fan of the show as well. I loved the recollection of this particular sketch, typical of his humor:

"The funniest sketch was the one where a man comes into a church in order to confess, and finds a large group of people sitting in the pews on one side, waiting their turn. When he asks if there's any other priest available, he's told, "Well, there's Father Murphy, but he's a bit..." and we suddenly hear Father Murphy (Allen) roaring, "You did WHAT????" Then he bursts out of the confessional, tears open the door on the other side, hauls out the cowering male sinner and beats the tar out of him. The conclusion is perfect, as he rounds on the staring crowd of waiting penitents and shouts, "NEXT!" while they all jump and pretend to be looking the other way." :rofl:

[cynatnite]

17. 'Fridays'

I loved that show. The guy that played Kramer on Seinfeld got his start there. I hated seeing it end...but it didn't last that long, IIRC.

[bertha katzenengel]

79. Do you remember when he played a mad pharmacist?

Take a PILL!!

[NoPasaran]

84. Give me... ganja! n/t

[calico1]

19. Grand.

Only ran for one season I think. I liked it and was sorry it got cancelled.

[Patiod]

68. Pamela Reed, Bonnie Hunt, and a GREAT theme

I loved that show -- was crushed when they cancelled it.

Still lover Reed and Hunt

[Burma Jones]

21. The Great American Dream Machine

PBS Satirical Skit show.....

[lizziegrace]

22. Brooklyn Bridge

Not too old, but obviously obscure.

[NYCGirl]

106. Beautifully written and acted show. NT

[GalleryGod]

188. What a great show!

I'd buy a DVD of that one season, if it was available!

[bmbmd]

23. The first show I ever watched in color

Was "That was the Week That Was" in about 1962 with Joey Bishop. I loved "RipCord' and "SkyKing" as a boy. More recently, I really liked Key West. But the show that got me up at six o'clock on Saturday mornings was, of course, "Roy Rogers Theatre".

[Oeditpus Rex]

170. Oh, man!

"Ripcord" and "Sky King." Sigh...

One of the "Ripcord" guys was Larry Pennell, who later became quasi-famous as Dash Riprock, Ellie May's movie-star beau in "The Beverly Hillbillies."

And Skyler King and his niece, Penny, and... Songbird!



Out of the blue of the Western sky comes Sky King!

[Sugar Smack]

24. Sledgehammer!

I adored that show-

"Trust me. I know what I'm doing."

[SteppingRazor]

42. Wow! Totally forgot about that show. It was great!

:thumbsup:

[Sugar Smack]

46. Oh, do you remember the very last episode?

After the fateful words were spoken.....:nuke:

Ah, those were the days! :D

[jane_pippin]

96. Call me "Mer!"

That's the only line I remember, and only vaguely. It was his response to a woman asking him to call her "Ms."

:rofl:

[Sugar Smack]

144. Oh, God, that show killed me....

My younger brother and I watched it religiously. He and I would yell, "HAMMER!" from room to room, and it drove my dad nuts!

:rofl:

"Call me 'Mer'!"

[Jean Louise Finch]

179. Oh, that was a classic

Used to watch it with my fam and one set of extended relatives. My aunt used to always complain complain whenever it was on, but we just couldn't get enough.

nice call!

[fishwax]

196. what a great show

both seasons are out on dvd, so i've watched them all again fairly recently. Good stuff :thumbsup:

[Mojambo]

263. It's coming up on my Netflix Queue.

I CANNOT wait to see it again.

[DanCa]

25. BJ Mccay and his best friend bear.

Hey what's not to like about a trucker with a pet chimp. Now don't get me started on Sheriff Lobo.

[DanCa]

27. I also liked Tales of the Gold Monkey. (nt)

[seemunkee]

29. Police Squad

Fore runner to the Naked Gun movies

[Initech]

145. YES! I cant wait for that show to be on DVD.

My collection will never be complete without it!

[fishwax]

197. that was another good one

I never saw it while it was on the air, but I saw the episodes on video sometime after the naked gun came out. Good stuff :rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

243. That show was awesome!

Cancelled not due to low ratings, but because ABC(?) thought viewers had to pay too much attention to catch all the jokes.

They even recycled some of the jokes for the Naked Gun movies:

Woman, as police burst into her room, "Is this a bust?"
Drebbin, seeing her cleavage in a low cut top, "yes ma'am, very impressive."

Wasn't Police Squad the show that would say, "and this week's guest star is William Shatner" and they'd cut to a scene where Shatner gets shot & killed in a few seconds, and that was it for Shatner's appearance.

[DanCa]

32. Peter Falk and Columbo.

Now that was a great detective show.

[Patiod]

70. A local UHF channel re-aired it a few years ago

We looked forward to seeing it every week the way we looked forward to "Homicide" or "Buffy".

Great stuff. Some of it doesn't hold up --- like one plot centered around the victim having a brand new gadget called a...uhm..oh, an ANSWERING MACHINE.

But Peter Falk rocks.

edit: And Johnny Cash was the best villan EVER.

[Left Is Write]

124. But not obscure.

:)

Say...have you been keeping up with Desperate Housewives?

[peekaloo]

34. My World and Welcome To It.

I always mention this show in these threads . I was quite young at the time but it has stuck with me.

[Patiod]

71. I was (and am) a big Thurber fan

Thought it was brilliant

[peekaloo]

74. That show introduced me to Thurber.

Although it took a few years for me to truly appreciate how "brillig" he was.

:-)

[mzteris]

35. Dark Shadows! n/t

[cynatnite]

37. Which one?

There was the old soap opera and the other was a remake with Ben Cross. I preferred the latter.

[mzteris]

56. um -

the old soap opera I think. It was in black and white (though that may just have been my tv) for a long time. :)

[Patiod]

72. We started renting those

but the video store ran out at like Episode 45.....

[AbbyR]

150. Ditto!

I LOVED it - used to rush home from school to watch.

[elehhhhna]

38. SCTV

[bmbmd]

99. Excellent!

Came on every night at midnight on the local Fox station when I was an intern-had to take a thirty minute break for that.

[tigereye]

110. that's funny

it was very cutting edge at the time. I never thought of it as obscure, more slightly under the radar mainstream.

[schmuls]

39. Does anyone remember "Adventures in Paradise"? I was a

little girl, but I had a huge crush on the main character. Don't remember the guy's name or the name of the actor that played him. I had to watch it every week! If anyone remembers the details, please tell me!

[brook]

57. Gardner McKay.

He was gorgeous! The show was done on the Fox back lot. I remember them burning much of the set when they were preparing to build Century City.

[Blue_In_AK]

103. I liked Cimarron City

which wasn't on for very long, but George Montgomery made my heart go pitty-pat when I was 14.

[GalleryGod]

61. Hardly Obscure, a great show at the time.

[Blue_In_AK]

100. Yes, Gardner McKay was a definite hottie...

I had a huge crush on him, too.

[justabob]

40. Gigglesnort Hotel

Weird kid show from the 70's

on edit.... and another weird kid show.... Land of the Lost(? the one with Sleestacks and dinosaurs).

[DanCa]

47. Was that the one with BJ and the Dragon?

Ah memories of my youth. And yes that was land of the lost your thinking about.

[justabob]

48. Spin off I think

[rbnyc]

147. Loved that one!!! (nt)

[SteppingRazor]

41. The Prisoner!!! Twin Peaks!!

Freaking loved The Prisoner... I had never heard of it before, and then I saw every episode in a marathon while I was home from high school with Mono.

An old girlfriend rented every episode of Twin Peaks and made me watch them all.

[GumboYaYa]

69. Yeah you right on The Prisoner!

I love that series.

[tigereye]

112. Twin Peaks

convinced a lot of us who were "too cool" to watch TV to do so at the time. It was amazing to see a TV show from David Lynch - but if you want really obscure, that would be "On The Air" also by Lynch which was even weirder in a silly-offbeat way and was not on for very long.

The Prisoner still seems kind of creepy, even from a distance.

[NashVegas]

43. American Gothic

I miss that one.

[DanCa]

45. Someone's at the door.

Gary Cole at his best. Lucas Buck scared the hell out of me. And that little kid creeped me out.

[noonwitch]

118. That was a great show

Sheriff Buck was fun. How many Sheriffs can kill a guy in his cell, and walk away whistling the theme song to "The Andy Griffith Show"?.

[NashVegas]

135. And to Think It Was Shaun Cassidy Producing It

Guy's got an interesting imagination for a former Tiger Beat magazine cover model.

[khashka]

232. That was such a good show!

I have it all on tape, lucky me.

"I wanna hurt somebody, I wanna hurt YOU!"
"Someone's at the door."
"I'm not his mother, I'm his lover"
"Give me oblivion."
"My itty bitty pretty one...."

Such genius so rudely discarded.....

Khash

[XemaSab]

234. "What'd you do, bite his tongue out in a fit of passion?"

"Mmm."

[khashka]

237. It was just so good...

Selena the whore of babylon elementary school teacher - brilliant idea.

The finest moment was when Selena dripped hot wax on Lucas's chest.

The series was one of Gary Cole's most amazing moments - to be hateful, loveable,despicable, sexual, reprehesible. Of course you hated him (he was Satan!) but you had to love him too - everything he did had such style and charisma. That was good acting.

And by the way, I liked the vests too.


Khash.

[XemaSab]

239. The show suffered from an excess of style

And Gary Cole... yeah... it's rare to see a fictional character that is so... charged... he's evil, but in a really attractive way.

(Dare I say... Severus Snape from Harry Potter?)

[NashVegas]

254. I Was Never *Really Sure* Gary Cole Was Supposed to Be Evil

He acted evil, he creeped the bejesus out of people, and yet IIRC he never actually harmed anyone who didn't have it coming.

Not a nice guy, but there was something very Old Testament about his dispensing of justice.

[XemaSab]

233. That show was *the shit*

And it had the boss from "Office Space" too! Gary Cole!

[DanCa]

49. Bosom Buddies Tom Hanks and Peter Scholari.

I still lol when I watch the reruns on tbs.

[justabob]

51. I remember that one

Hard to think of Tom Hanks doing sit-coms now..... and poor Peter, all I ever see him on are little parts in shows like Murder, She Wrote

edit: typo

[Mad_Dem_X]

127. Awesome show - who would have guessed

that Tom Hanks would become one of our greatest actors??

I had a mad crush on Peter S. back in the day.

[Richardo]

50. "Fractured Flickers" 1963 - the proto-MST3K

From Jay Ward and the creative team that bought you Rocky and Bullwinkle. Hilarious.

[BuelahWitch]

58. The entire series is on DVD

and rentable from Netflix. I saw it a couple years ago. Hilarious indeed!

[Richardo]

59. !

Great news! :bounce:

[NYCGirl]

105. Yes!

I've never forgotten their version of Lon Chaney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame" — "Dinky Dunston, Boy Cheerleader"

Hans Conreid rules!

[Richardo]

108. Ha!

One two THREE four, Who are WE for? :rofl:

[CBHagman]

52. Davis Rules (before they ruined it).

In the '90s Randy Quaid and Jonathan Winters co-starred in a series called Davis Rules. The show was, on the surface, formulaic (Quaid as single father, Winters as his quirky dad), but it had some wonderful touches. For example, Winters was allowed to improvise a lot of his dialogue, from what I understand. Quaid's love interest was played by Patricia Clarkson (!!).

Then the show moved to another network, which eliminated a couple of characters and added a snotty teenaged nephew, plus a new partner for Quaid, a blonde, 20-something cheerleader. :mad: The writing also went downhill.

They added Bonnie Hunt to the cast, which you would think was a great addition, but the writing was so hopeless that they managed to waste her role entirely.

[GalleryGod]

62. "Our World" on ABC opposite Cosby

It was great ! A history buffs treasure trove. It died a quick death after one season. Ray Gandolph and Linda Elerbee hosted.

[Oeditpus Rex]

171. I had a letter printed in TV Guide

in praise of "Our World." Treasure trove indeed. Too bad ABC threw it to the Cosby wolf.

[fishwax]

198. i remember that show

Quaid was the principal at his kids school, I think, right? That was a good show, and I always wondered what happened to it ... I guess I missed the network move (fortunately for me, from the sounds).

[kmla]

55. Get a Life - with Chris Elliot.

Was quite the hoot.

[peekaloo]

75. First season was classic!

Where's the dang DVD?????

[bullwinkle428]

149. Ask and ye shall receive!

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/102-6290934-4389725?url=index%3Ddvd&search-type=quick-search&field-keywords=get+a+life

I have Volume 2, but haven't gotten around to getting Vol. 1 yet. One of the most hilarious off-the-wall shows in TV history!

[peekaloo]

161. The customer reviews make it sound like a rip-off.

Not entire seasons?

Chris Elliott told Jon Stewart he expected the complete series to be released this year but a "suit" was holding things up.

[bullwinkle428]

177. Yeah, that does totally suck that there's only 4 eppies per DVD -

I was such a "Get a Life" nut that I figured half a loaf was better than none at all...even though it's technically not even half a loaf!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

109. I loved that show, too

I loved the first season, but I thought the second season where he moves into a friend's garage to live was even funnier. To me it was one of the most outrageously funny shows ever and was the perfect role for Chris Elliot.

[Dora]

60. Emergency. Adam-12. In Search Of.

[BrotherBuzz]

138. Rescue 8

30-minute B&W TV show from the late 1950's. Rescue 8 was a special unit of the Los Angeles fire department that rescued people in hazardess situations. The show was something of a precursor to "Emergency!"- but before there was such a thing as paramedics.

I remember it well.

[Kathleen04]

140. Emergency and Adam-12 are favorites

of mine too. I'd also add in Dragnet. :)

Get Smart and My Favorite Martian are two of my other favorites..only obscure because they're all older TV shows.

[Twillig]

187. Emergency was a surprisingly tough show

at times. (though not obscure)

remember when that lil' kid got hit in the head with a baseball and was
made to wait in the reception area of the ER?

He died! Brackett was sure pissed. :-)

Or when the Hollywood stunt crew thought they should cut their guy out of an
overturned car (which was leaking gasoline) with a plasma torch?

Yeeech!

KMG-365!

[justabob]

206. Back then

Shows like Emergency and Quincy and some others I can't think of right know used to really educate people about the issues with EMTs (there was an episode about how they are trained and changes the guys at Rampart wanted to see happen), various drugs and/or additives in food and products... others I can't think of. I do remember on Quincy they introduced the concept of a "rape kit" and Quincy being on a mission for LA (or wherever he was) to start using this new great thing that had been used with great results in another major city.

[BuelahWitch]

63. Lost in Space

Dr. Smith and the Robot have to be one of the best comedy teams from classic television...

On edit, I also have to add That Was the Week That Was, which was a proto type for Laugh In. TW3 featured Burr Tillstrom doing some lovely hand ballets...

[Vidar]

64. VR1

[hippiechick]

66. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century ...

... the one they did in the very, very early 80's as a ripoff of the Star Wars craze.

[Patiod]

67. Not obscure, but I had a huge crush on Jim West

Never missed an episode of "Wild, Wild, West" when I was little. I was probably was Robert Conrad's size when I was six years old.

[Nye Bevan]

73. The short-lived cartoon "Pole Position"

It had a good theme tune.

A couple of other short-lived cartoons that I liked:-

"These are the Days"
"The Oddball Couple"

[trackfan]

76. The Second Hundred Years

Buffalo Bill
When Things Were Rotten

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

111. Monte Markham was great in that

[livetohike]

80. Honey West - the first female detective on TV!

[Beaverhausen]

130. I loved that show

She was smart and HOT!!!

[Beaverhausen]

131. oops - I put that in the wrong place

[Texasgal]

81. I am embarrassed to say

that I used to LOVE Hart to Hart!

[Frank Cannon]

82. Search (AKA Probe)

Early 70s show starring Hugh O'Brian, Tony Franciosa, and Doug McClure as super-spies who have been implanted with microphones and receivers, and who carry miniature cameras on their rings, pendants, etc. Burgess Meredith (in a white lab coat) leads a team of scientists in a large underground base and can communicate with the spies and see and hear everything they do via the cameras.

This was an awesome show that only lasted a few episodes. If I'm not mistaken, Isaac Asimov was involved with it somehow.

[wildhorses]

85. remember the cartoon "Top Cat" and I also liked

Dark Shadows...I loved Quentin's Theme...the music that played whenever he appeared

[CaliforniaPeggy]

86. "Have Gun, Will Travel"

We always watched that one......I don't even remember the actor's name anymore......wait!

Richard Boone! He was outstanding!

*sigh*

[NoPasaran]

88. The Slap Maxwell Story

Short-lived dramedy with Dabney Coleman as a newspaper reporter.

[fishwax]

199. it was on after Hooperman

which was another good, kind-of obscure show. I hated the slap maxwell story at first, but eventually came around to liking it, and wound up getting into it just in time for them to start jerking it around the schedule :eyes:

[auntAgonist]

Forest Tucker and Larry Storch.

91. "The Others"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0229916/

College student Marian Kitt is terrified to discover that she has the power to see into the "other side." Word of Marian's vision spreads to Professor Miles Ballard, a student of paranormal and psychic phenomena. He introduces Marian to "the others," a group of individuals with the ability to vicariously experience the feelings, thoughts and experiences of others, and to help them understand paranormal phenomena. Famed medium Elmer Greentree is their spiritual leader and a mentor figure for Marian, whose potential to see "all of the light" is strong. With Marian now among them, they will help each other understand their abilities as they encounter otherworldly, often frightening, alternative dimensions. And all the while, a dark force looms over them.

[LizW]

252. Oh, my god. The last episode of "The Others"????

They killed EVERYONE off. Every single member of the ensemble was killed in a horrifying and shocking way. I was stunned.

[HughBeaumont]

93. "It's Your Move"

Starring a pre-Valerie/Hogan Family Jason Bateman and MWC's David Garrison!

All I got to say is The Dregs Of Humanity 2 part episode.

[Mad_Dem_X]

134. I remember the Dregs!!!

They were life-size puppets that they tried to pass off as real people.

[Mojambo]

264. Good one.

I remember that one fondly.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

94. "Chalk" - a mid-90's BBC1 sitcom, penned by Steven Moffat ("Coupling")

It was really funny and very enjoyable (the great reaction from the studio audience got a second season commissioned before the first had aired), but got an absolute panning from the critic-mafia which kept a lot of people away. I really hope it makes it to DVD as it deserves a reapraisal. (Although there was very little reference to this, it was set in the same world as Moffat's brilliant childrens drama (which I grew up on) "Press Gang").

http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/c/chalk_1299000564.shtml

For the very obscure, I nominate "Sunnyside Farm" - a BBC2 sitcom set on a farm starring Phil Daniels and Mark Addy. Brilliantly funny, but almost completely ignored, so it only ran for one six-episode season. Stupidly I never recorded it and it looks like it's lost in the ether forever.

Finally must mention "Sean's Show" - a Channel 4 stand-up/sketch sitcom of sorts which borrowed from "The Garry Shandling Show", starring Sean Hughes. And really finally, ITV's "In Bed With MeDinner" - Bob Mills presenting clips from TV shows that he claims to have directed (which was a lot better than I've made it sound).

[bikebloke]

95. Time Tunnel

As a kid, I thought it would be so cool to time travel and see history in person. It's coming out on DVD, so I'll have to see how it fares through adult eyes. And in color without rabbit-ears shadows.

The Outer Limits made a good impression to my present tastes.

[Initech]

97. Titus

[sendero]

165. I love that show...

..I couldn't believe it failed. Same with Grounded For Life.

[Initech]

238. It's another example of how Fox takes good shows and manages to...

Fuck them up in the process. What's happening to Arrested Development is nothing new. I was a huge fan of Titus when it aired and after the first season it was damn near impossible to find it on TV, so I just stopped watching it. Now that I have both seasons on DVD, it's awesome.

[gollygee]

98. BJ and the Bear

it was probably god-awful, but I was a kid. . .

[Crankie Avalon]

101. Lotsa Luck

I can remember watching this show regularly as a kid, but I was so young I honestly can't remember if it was any good. Mostly, I think it had a theme song I liked singing along with.

102. Used to love "Sugarfoot".

Of course, I thought I'd grow up to be a cowgirl.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

114. "Sugar Foot, Sugar Foot, Easy Lopin' Cattle Ropin' Sugar Foot"

"Carefree as a tumbleweed. Shotgun along with a heart full of song and a bible and a volume of the law".

Believe it or not I didn't google, as I still have that song stuck in my head from the late 1950s. Sugar Foot was part of a trilogy that rotated every week. There was Ty Hardin in "Bronco" and my favorite, Clint Walker who played in "Cheyenne". I don't remember the name of the star in Sugar Foot but he was a decent actor and he was playing a more touchy-feely kind of cowboy, which was strange for its times.

[Penndems]

190. Will Hutchins played "Sugarfoot"

104. "The Champions"

I really liked this show when it was on.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062551/

[China_cat]

107. Said it before, will say it again

Great American Dream Machine.

[tigereye]

113. Camp Runamuck

I loved that when I was a kid.

Funny, though, most of the old shows were the only game in town at the time with only 3 tv channels, they weren't really considered "obscure."


Red Dwarf isn't really obscure, but was hard to find except on the PBS station. I love all those Brit sci-fi series.

[meegbear]

116. Dobie Gillis

A great show through and through. And I like Maynard a lot more than Gilligan.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

120. "The Law Of The Plainsman" and "The Hathaways"

The Hathaways (circa 1959-1960) was about a childless couple who adopt a family of performing chimps. They raise the chimps like their own children. It was a hilarious comedy series starring Peggy Cass and Jack Weston.

Premiering in October, 1959, The Law Of The Plainsman recounted the exploits of Sam Buckhart, born among the Apache Indians but eventually educated at Harvard University and who became a Deputy U.S. Marshal in the New Mexico territory of the 1880's. In the series, he trained under Marshal Andy Morrison in Santa Fe, living in a rooming house run by Martha Commager along with an orphaned 8-year-old girl he rescued.

The Buchhart character originated and spun-off from two episodes of The Rifleman TV Show: The Indian and The Raid.

The very charismatic Michael Ansara played the lead role. This was one of my favorite TV shows growing up in early 60's and one of the few to offer a positive image of Native Americans at the time.

[Left Is Write]

121. Apple's Way

[Left Is Write]

122. Oh - and Dack Rambo?

My most vivid memory of Dack Rambo is the sleazy character he played on an episode of The Love Boat, faking a fatal illness to get out of marrying his girlfriend, only to find out he really had Lou Gehrig's disease (diagnosed by crack physician Doc, of course).

[CAcyclist]

123. Logan's Run

and there was a short-lived one about a wild boy I liked.

[gpandas]

125. the texas wheelers-starring jack elam n/t

[momophile]

126. I loved 'Square Pegs' when I was 10 years old nt

[jobycom]

129. Happy Days, MASH, Cheers, and NYPD Blue

Hey, they're no less obscure than some of the others mentioned!!!

[Beaverhausen]

132. She TV

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108924 /

anyone? this wasn't on long but it was great!

[bullwinkle428]

152. I remember the show! Maybe around 10 years ago or so,

as a summer replacement series on ABC. It was a kind of an alternative to SNL, featuring a mostly-female cast. Something made me think about this just recently - I recalled one of the male cast members would do an impersonation of Dennis Franz in character as Sipowicz (shortly after NYPD Blue debuted, and the show was really hot at the time). His recurring bit was the "Sipowicz Word of the Day", where he would explain the origin of the various terms he would use to address the "skells". For some reason "splooge monkey" was something that just stuck in my mind and still makes me laugh thinking about that bit...I know, I have no life!

[malta blue]

133. Daktari n/t

[MiwSher]

185. Was that the one with Clarence the cross-eyed lion? n/t

[justabob]

204. I used to watch that one at my grandparents' house

on Sundays (?).... I had forgotten all about it.

[Aristus]

136. "Hot Hero Sandwich".

Saturday-morning live action show. It was kind of a cross between "Saturday Night Live" for kids, with sketches, comedy and musical numbers, and a kids version of Saturday Today, with celebrity interviews and anti-drug messages.

It was so cool, so well written and accessible that my parents used to enjoy watching it with us.

I wish it was available on DVD.

[ET Awful]

137. Not as old as some of the others, but Heart of the City from the 80's

Show about a widower cop raising two kids, one of whom was a very young pre-Married With Children Christina Applegate (she actually played a quasi intelligent person).

[chemenger]

139. "The Outcasts"

An hourlong Western that ran on ABC for one season. The series co-starred Don Murray as a former Confederate officer and former slave owner who had lost everything during the Civil War and teamed up with Otis Young's character, a former slave who became a bounty hunter.

Produced during a time of racial unrest in the United States, "The Outcasts" depicted an interracial relationship in which blacks and whites lived together--but not without an underlying and sometimes open hostility toward one another.

[mooseandsquirrel]

141. Coronet Blue

with Frank Converse.

m&s

[SiobhanClancy]

142. Homefront...

eary 90s,91-93 I think. It was about several families during WW II,and it was a GREAT show:)

[Sequoia]

143. Highway Patrol and Wild West Days (Borax mule team)

Or was it oxes? Whatever, it was 40 animals pulling the wagon as I remember.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

215. Wasn't it 'Death Valley Days'?

And I think it also changed its name to something else. I think this show started in the very early 1950s and ran for many, many years on television. It was a continuing series of stories with feature actors, many from the silver screen. Ronald Reagan, John Payne, Rory Calhoun and several others were at one time hosts of the show during its many years on the air. I remember the 20-mule train of Borax in the ads on the show.

[Sequoia]

245. Yes, that's it. Thanks.

I was but a wee one when I saw it and then not very many.

[Redstone]

146. Hec Ramsey (Starring Richard Boone). I'd pay BIG for videotapes of that.

Anyone have any?

Redstone

[AbbyR]

151. National Velvet

[me b zola]

153. Alias Smith & Jones

hubba hubba

[Gatchaman]

154. Space Rangers!

It was only on for six episodes. It was on CBS in the early 90's. Sort of like Firefly in that it was a crew of misfits, but they weren't rebels (or pirates, or whatever the hell the crew of Serinity was). Very little star trek influence, NO technobabble, and plenty of action.

It hasn't been released on DVD yet, although it was available on VHS.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

156. The Tomorrow People

http://www.thetomorrowpeople.com/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069647/

[terrya]

157. "Bracken's World"

It was a drama on NBC about the goings on at a movie studio, Eleanor Parker and Leslie Nielsen starred.

Well, I liked it. :-)

[Dave Reynolds]

158. Hot L Baltimore.

It did not last very long, hookers in a 70s sitcom were considered too racy.

[ThatsMyBarack]

159. Anything with Geoff Edwards

Treasure Hunt, Starcade, Play the Percentages, Chain Reaction, etc.! :bounce:

[Lisa]

160. "Seeing Things" -- another CBC show

It featured a reporter who had psychic insights into crimes -- but they would come unexpectedly, and he would often misinterpret the evidence until the last few minutes of the show. I now realize that it was one of the reasons why I so enjoy problem-solving (and critical analysis) now. It was even funnier and quirkier than "Medium", with a dash of "Monk" thrown in, and worked in quite a bit of Toronto history. There was quite a lot of character development -- through all the different mysteries, we gradually learned about their family, his wife's mysterious past, and his co-workers at the paper.

[SoCalDem]

162. Peter Gunn..n/t

[Balbus]

163. "Charles in Charge"

watched it religiously.

[Pithlet]

167. 80's comedy western - I don't remember the name.

I only remember it had a sidekick like character named "Frog". He was played by a character actor that you still see in movies every once in awhile. Last time I saw him, he was the guy leaking information to Erin Brokovitch. Anyway, for the longest time, every time I saw him on anything I'd say "Hey, that's Frog!" and no one would have a clue what I was talking about. No one ever remembers this show. I'm thinking maybe I imagined it. Anyone have a clue? I think I might have brought this up in another thread like this, but I don't remember if anyone knew what it was.

[Gatchaman]

195. Pithlet, Frog was on a show called Best of the West

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081832/

From 1981. The Wild West misadventures of a mild-mannered store owner turned town marshal.

I remember enjoying it too,

[Pithlet]

210. Thanks!

I'd actually gone to IMDB after finding out what that actor's name was. Now I know there's at least one other person that remembers that show. I wasn't imagining things :) That guy will always be Frog to me.

[caty]

168. In the 80's

I used to like a Chinese cooking show call "Wok with Yan". I didn't really care that much about the cooking part--it was Stephen Yan. He would tell some of the lamest jokes, but made them so funny. That show was a joy to watch.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wok_with_Yan

[u4ic]

175. I LOVED that show!

I still have a lot of those recipes I copied from it from years back...

[book lady]

169. I liked Fury,

with Peter Graves as the uncle, and some old codger...

[Arkham House]

172. Nowhere Man

Bruce Greenwood as a man whose identity was stolen from him by a mysterious secret organization...fascinating show, that used X-Filesish paranoia in an original way...and it was cancelled right in mid-plot, and we never got any answers!!!...Grrr....

[DanCa]

174. Manimal or Misfits of Science?

Bad sci fi bad superhero shows at it's uhm best :D

[sakabatou]

176. Live action Kikaider. It's hilarious.

[Calliope]

178. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. My show

The Senator starring Hal Holbrook

180. GOLDAR!!! Who's with me??

Kinda creepy now that I Google it and look at the characters...

[UCLA02]

181. The Master--Lee Van Kleef as a ninja

Didn't last too long, tho.

edit: spelling like a Freeper tonite

[DanCa]

260. I remember that. That was with Salami from the white shadow right?

I can't remember the actors name though.

[UCLA02]

182. Sable--Great comic, shit TV show

186. Fireball XL-5, Stingray, Surf Side 6, Night Gallery....

Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds, Petticoat Junction.

[DarienComp]

189. "Sidekicks"

It was on when I was six. It featured a 10-year-old Asian kid who knew karate, and lived with a cop. They fought crime. Naturally, I thought it was awesome, at the time...

:yoiks:

[applegrove]

191. Days & nights of Molly Dodd. Precursor to Sex & the City. Character

driven.

[Dinger]

192. How In The Hell Did This Turn Into a 200 (Almost) 200-Post Thread?

Wow, feels like I hit the jackpot!

193. I nearly forgot!!

Razzle Dazzle and Friendly Giant... two of my all-time favorites.

[lies and propaganda]

194. Expected a lot more Twin Peaks on here

its only the best show ever light years before its time.

[XemaSab]

It's widely known to be the best. show. ever.

[lies and propaganda]

240. no argument here...

Just thought i would see every other ten posters loving it.

[Skip Intro]

200. No one said Ultra Man?

[SaveElmer]

202. "When Things Were Rotten"

Robin Hood spoof...Mel Brooks produced it

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072585/

[fishwax]

203. Wish You Were Here

Does anyone remember this show? It was a summer replacement series and never made it past the summer, but it was a pretty good show. The lead was a young businessman who quit his job to travel Europe with his camcorder, and the show was made up largely of the videotape he sent home to his family. I thought it was an interesting show.

[yellowdogintexas]

205. " The Rogues" mid 1960's, I think. starred Gig Young, David Niven,

Hermione Gingold, Charles Boyer and others.

A family of con artists who set up elaborate stings to get back at someone who was doing someone else wrong. It was only on about 2 years or so.

I think there is a new show with Robert Vaughn that may be based on it or loosely similar.

[Penndems]

207. "The Real McCoys" with Walter Brennan, Richard Crenna and

Kathleen Nolan. Sitcom that ran on CBS and ABC from 1957 to 1963.



Also:

"Kentucky Jones" with Dennis Weaver. Ran on NBC for one season (1964-1965). The photo is from the TV show "McCloud".



"Laredo" - Western with Neville Brand, Robert Wolders, William Smith and Peter Brown. Western that ran on NBC from 1965-1968.



"Video Village" - Game show that ran on CBS from 1960-1962.

[spindrifter]

208. Soupy Sales

Dude used to have a lunch-time program and kids would race home--if they could--to see it.

[Hardrada]

209. The Halls of Ivy with Ronald Colman

1954-55 or so.

[Flaxbee]

211. In 1995, "If Not for You" on CBS

it was cute, but they nixed it after a few episodes. Had Hank Azaria and Elizabeth McGovern (who is the daughter of my former Wills & Trusts law professor at UCLA).

[Flaxbee]

212. Sports Night! How could I forget Sports Night?!?!?

It was GREAT! Had Felicity Huffman, Peter Krause, Robert Guillaume... created by Aaron Sorkin.

I loved it, so of course it was nixed. Damn.

[Hissyspit]

218. Great show.

I think it's finally out on DVD.

[Hissyspit]

220. Also, "A Year At The Top"

Which spent about two months near the bottom.

Paul Shaffer sells his soul to the devil.

[argyl]

213. Cimmaron Strip, with Stuart Whitman.Great western,it was 90 minutes long.

Only ran a year or two,about 1967.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

214. The late night news

hosted by Bill Tush on Cable Channel 17, WTCG Atlanta. It would go on to become WTBS, then TBS.

Bill Tush's off-the-wall newscasts were pure comic genius.

Wonder if any of them exist on tape?

[Hissyspit]

217. "Quark"

Star Wars parody w/ Richard Benjamin

[DanCa]

219. After Mash... (nt)

[Canuckistanian]

Ernie Sabella and the guy that played Steve Rhodes from married with children. I am blanking on his name right now.

[Contrary1]

227. Wagon train, Maverick, Death Valley Days...

couldn't get enough of the Westerns when I was a kid.

[begin_within]

228. The Real Don Steele, Dialing For Dollars, Hobo Kelly, Farmer John (all LA)

[begin_within]

230. "Upstairs, Downstairs" is still the best drama series ever made, IMHO.

[XemaSab]

236. War of the Worlds

I used to stay up WAAAAAAY past my bedtime to watch it.

[hickman1937]

241. One Step Beyond. I loved it but it was here and gone,

when I was a kid.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

249. I ADORED One Step Beyond - the music was so haunting

The music was the scariest part of the show, sending chills down your spine. The host John Newland, with the British accent was also kind of creepy in a sophisticated way.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

250. Anyone remember the Ernie Kovacs Show?

Kovacs was one of the great comedic pioneers on American television. I was just a little kid at the time but I remember seeing some pretty strange stuff on that show, even by modern standards. Although few people may even have heard of his show now, during its time it was one of the most popular and talked-about programs on the air.

"Laughs For Sale" was another comedy series that was truly unique. I think it aired in the early 1960s and it had people like Paul Winchell and Shecky Greene as regular guests. The extremely innovative aspect of "Laughs For Sale" was that the show appealed to the general public across America to write comedy skits which the comedians on the show would then perform the following week. Some of the stuff was kind of lame but some of it was pretty funny, and all written supposedly amateurs who watched the show. I think the prize for getting your comedy to be aired was something like $500.

Paul Winchell and and his dummy Jerry Mahoney (and Knucklehead) was a great comedic ventriloquist show and one of my favorites growing up.

Another old show that I recall as being pretty funny was "The Life Of Riley" with William Bendix. That show was one of my first memories of TV in the early 1950s.

[hickman1937]

257. I'll be damned. I thought I was the only one that remembered

"The Life Of Riley". Do you remember Queen for a Day?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

259. Yes, my mother watched Queen For A Day and liked to cry

along with the contestants. I liked Pinkie Lee and People Are Funny, too, along with the string puppet detective named Fearless Fosdick.

[hickman1937]

267. Now you are scaring me.

What was the name of Sky King's plane, and what was the name of the ranch that Joey lived on with his uncle.

[Swamp Rat]

242. Black Adder, Monty Python, The Young Ones, Fawlty Towers.

:D

[Tom_Foolery]

246. The Immortal...

starring Christopher George.

[ChoralScholar]

247. Not really obscure,

but I loved Quincy, M.E.

The ORIGINGAL C.S.I.!!!

[ChoralScholar]

248. double-post .... EOM

[kskiska]

251. I Led Three Lives

starring Richard Carlson (Syndicated, 1953 - 1956)

Philbrick is a Boston advertising executive used by the U.S. government to spy on the Communist Party USA. It was all blatant anti-left propaganda. The scripts were actually reviewed by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI and played on the paranoia of the McCarthy era.

Very entertaining fare for a 9-yr.-old.

[mac56]

253. "Remember WENN"

It ran on A&E for a season or two.

Story of a Pittsburgh radio station in the 30s.

[Metta]

255. Winky Dink, when I was eight.

We used to draw right on the tv screen before we got a WD kit. I also really liked Steve Allen though he's less obscure.

[Catchawave]

256. MST3K fans ?

That was fun !

[KeepItReal]

258. "The State!!!!!" - Barry and LeVon's $240 worth of pudding - Sweet!

"Barry: (praying hands) we had to have the puddin'.
LeVon: Aw yeah. Now we could have bought, a hundred dollars worth of puddin'
Barry: (huge eyes) And that would have been, a lot of puddin'.
LeVon: Aw yeah, but we had to go all the way, baby.
Barry: All the way home.
LeVon: Uh huh. With two-hundred
Barry: and forty dollars
LeVon: worth of puddin'.
Barry: worth of puddin'.
LeVon: Aw yeah.
Barry: Now I know what you're thinkin'
LeVon: "Barry and Le Von, where did you get two-hundred and forty dollars?"
Barry: (shake head and put finger to mouth) Shhhhhh.
LeVon: Aw yeah.
Barry: Don't worry your pretty little head about it, baby
LeVon: It ain't your concern. "

[DanCa]

261. Cover Up with John Eric Hexum and Jennifer O'neil

The theme song was were did all the good man gone.

[DanCa]

262. Voyager - the time traveler show with Jon Erik Hexum.

I believe the character's name was Phineas Bogg.

[AmyDeLune]

265. Strange World

Rather unjustly dismissed as an X-Files clone, ABC aired all of three episodes (bizarrely in the NYPD Blue timeslot) before shelving it. The SCIFI Channel runs all 13 episodes occasionally. They replaced alien conspiracy theory with actual science; by the time SCIFI got hold of it, real world science was catching up with the science of the series.

[texanwitch]

266. I liked a show that not to old called "Strange Luck", I don't think it

lasted a year.
