I've seen this discussion on two forums I frequent, so I'll post it here

We all have our favourate shows, but some of them, for one reason or another, never linger in the public consciousness for long, and there are many out there long forgotten about and may never see a DVD release, here are a few such series

I was going to put Bionic Six, Visionaries, and even Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos here but they got a DVD treatment. I posted Starcom because a DVD of 3 episodes is rubbish and doesn't count -- same thing with Pro Stars.

And here's a favorite:

Here's an odd one , "The Rosey and Buddy Show" was a one-off prime time special which was loosley based on the cancelation of Roseanne Barr's "Little Rosey" spin-off (another forgotten show), it was basicly a critique on network meddling and featured various cartoons banned in toonland for having excessive violence or questionable moral values, it included cameos from The Care Bears, Tom and Jerry, and Beetlejuice.

I remember it airing on Channel 4

Huh...kinda weird seeing the Care Bear Cousins in a show about Roseanne Barr... *lol* Never heard of this show. Mostly cuz it appears that altho it aired in the UK it didn't air in Germany (at least not on AFN).

Totally remember the 90's My Little Pony series. Although, I didn't like it as much as the originals. Here's one a lot of you may remember. It was a trippy little cartoon, but I watched it a lot back in the day.

this show i don't know of many who remembers it. It was a snaeky way to teach science to us and it was funny. I enjoyed it.

another science based show i enjoyed soley for the dry humor called science court which is by the same creator of Home Movies I believe. I can't find anything on it on youtube except this sorry:

I totally forgot that there was a Free Willy cartoon...with a half robot villain? Wow. I guess considering the popularity of the movie, that shouldn't be a surprise that they tried to make a popular cartoon too.

Superted was a cult hit in the UK, about a bear who could transform into a superpowered being using a secret magic word, his faithful sidekick was a spotted alien called, erm, "Spotty" and his arch nemesis was a cowboy crook called Texas Pete.

It breifly spawned a U.S version, which wasnt very succesful and lasted only one season

Family dog started out as a cartoon short that played before movies.

I believe it was on abc for the series.
Klutter was part of the Eek! Stravaganza.

I think I watched this almost religiously when I was a kid. Didn't matter what I was doing at the time, I always stopped to watch. I think it came on in the early afternoon.

Are we just doin' cartoons here?

If not, here's a sitcom that I think was really underrated. Something that Saved By the Bell WISHED it was.

Odds were that if a show featured Dinosaurs heavily, I was watching it!

Denver: The Last Dinosaur
X1fUqSQFdAI
This was one of those shows that was hard to find on TV so I pretty much watched it only by renting it from the local library every few weeks.

Dink: The Little Dinosaur
vxfMIzNzwpY
This always struck me as a bit of The Land Before Time rip-off. Still, I watched it every morning and even tolerated Shyler. *shudders*...

And one of the most underrated boy's action cartoons ever...

around '93-ish The Riders in the Sky had a tv show that was a lot like Pee-Wee's playhouse with a western cowboy theme. They're probably better known to people for singing songs like Woody's Round-up in Toy Story 2, but they're a great western-swing musical group. My brother & I loved it. I can't find and don't remember the intro but there's several clips on youtube:

also used to watch this every morning before school:
