I barely remember some of these at all... I think most kinda sucked.

Then what was the point in posting them? I don't think the reason behind this thread was to go out and find as many old, crappy TV shows as you could and list them off.

Aahh! Real Monsters... oh and ReBoot!

VR Troopers
James Bond Jr.

Holy crap what the hell is "Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad"

And while were on the topic

Mutant League...

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills

Errr...not really, there's a great deal of people who remember SHSCS

Ahh! Real Monsters and Reboot are'nrt forgotten either, you want minority favourates? Try Avenger Penguins and The Dreamstone

People still remember them


Errr...the entire series is out on DVD in the States already, next to Duckula it's practiaclly the most remembered UK cartoon to ever air on Nickolodean.


You'd be wrong.

Hmmm... one could say that if they were forgotten, they wouldn't be on here, huh? :-P

What the hell are they?

PENGUINS...I want to see a show about penguins

I don't

I tried to forget it

Just be happy no one mentioned Biker Mice From Mars or Street Sharks.

I don't remember the name of the show... but I think it was about a guy who could turn into a car... a red ferrari..?

And another show about small people... some kid got stuck in a pot of honey..? anybody know what these were..?

Yeah, well I'm talking in general here. All you do is watch TV and go to random websites and forums about this crap, so obviously you'll know of people who remember it, but I personally haven't heard anything about it from anywhere for years.

I loved it. It was awesome in its own weird way. And the music was simply beautiful - I still dig the opening theme.

Double Dragon

and

Mortal Kombat

I remember Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad....unfortunatly...

Why is Married, With Children on that list? It's on every day here! :lol: Al Bundy! FTW!


Forgotten shows...lesse:
Gummy Bears
Wuzzles
Widget: The World Watcher
Dinosaucers
Big Bad Beatle Borgs

I took Married With Children off. After all, the show did launch FOX.

Don't presume to know me at all with what I do with my life to justify your stance on this, I was talking in general from personal experiance

Way to shot yourself in the foot

Scratch "Gummi Bears", still heavily reran in certain areas and widely distributed on the Intenret, but you hit the mark on the other shows.

...The Littles?

Yeah...uh...your personal experience is going to differ from the majority, because like I said, this stuff is your life. Anyone who can sit and have a conversation for pages and pages about the finer points of Scooby-Doo has to spend a certain amount of time researching and/or watching the stuff. And don't take it as an insult, everyone has a hobby. I'm just trying to point out that your experience with hearing about it will be vastly different from the average person. Especially one who watches TV about once a week at most, like me.

The Snorks...likethe Smurfs under water.
The Adventures of David Knome. Classic!

And I remember the Littles. I watched it alot. What about Shirt-tails?

The name is Super......... Syber Squad. With an ''S''. (former fan of the show here...)

This brings back alot of flashbacks. SHSSS was a mix of alot of shows, Ultraman, Godzilla, Power Rangers...

To make it short, a Bad virtual virus named... Kilokhan, was threatening the world, and teens would fight every Viruses (Big monsters ''Godzilla'' style, alot of the monsters actually looked like existing Godzilla monsters...) that the evil villain would throw at them. They simply were getting in the Virtual World, and were using big robots ''Power Ranger'' and ''transformers'' style to fight the monsters.

The main Virtual hero was named Servo, and looked alot like Ultraman, infact I think they were twin brothers or something... And 2 other robots (both were piloted by the heroic teens) were joining him. One of the robot, Drago, actually looked alot like Mechagodzilla...

So, this was my ''short'' intro to SHSSS. I liked the show alot, it was, in my opinion, better than the PR. But it only lasted for 1 or 2 years... So yeah, its now pretty much dead since its the first time I hear the name again since maybe 10 years or something...

Here's a link to a page where you will find more info, if you want...

Syber Squad was the best of the PR "clones" at around the time the show came out, of course Saban competed with itself using VR Troopers also, which was MUCH darker than MMPR when it began.

Tatooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills.

C'mon, how many people could possibly remember that?

Or Maxie's World.

Bobby's World!!!

I actually remember both of those. Me and my girlfriend were talking about those the other day.

YES! Thanks!!! :-) Now that's truly a forgotten show.. I think I saw a few episodes and loved it, but don't remember much more about it...

Holy Crap! Wikipedia says they aired until 1986... That's the year I was born! Jeeze...

Maybe I saw reruns later on...?

Well, I suppose they weren't entirely forgotten, because the movie "The Borrowers" was based on the same novel the cartoon was...

I thought I mentioned that earlier..? Oh well, I kind of remember it. I think I remember seeing it at like, 6 a.m. thought it was pretty cool.

Edit:
Sorry, for the double-post...

The Littles aren't really er forgotten...they air alot here (there was a Littles marathon a couple months ago actually :lol: ). The series is on DVD (unlike say The Gummie Bears or The Wuzzles...hint hint at Disney) and there's even some NEW stuff out! I liked their pet turtle-dog... *lol*

*sings* We are the Littles....

I was not aware that the Gummie Bears airs in some areas...I wish it would air here! Hellooo!! *waves around her Sunny Gummie action figure*

Another forgotten show:
Dogtagnion and the Muskehounds. I LOVED that show altho I don't think it ever aired in the U.S. A shame really. The adventures of the Beagle mix Dogtagnion (said to be the son of Snoopy and Lady from Lady in the Tramp :lol: ), Porthos the German Shephard, ect. It aired weekdays and sometimes before TMNT in Germany.

I still laugh over the TMNT ep "The 4 Musketurtles" cuz of Leonardo thinking he's Dartagnion... Cam Clarke was the voice of Dogtagnion!

Alex Mac :D
While we are on the topic, does anyone remember an 80s-90s show about a group of Knights (possibly King Arthur) I remember waking up and watching this show during one of those great 90s summers.

That kind of reminds me of "Road Rovers"... but they're not all that old... Which in turn reminds me of Freakazoid, which I miss dearly... but is surely not forgotten.

I've got one, I just learned about it...didn't even know it exsisted!

Dirty Dancing

Apparently there was a tv series made after the film was released...I don't know if it was a remake of sorts or a continuation of the story...

Oh! Another forgotten show! "Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders"!

Gwenevere was the princess of New Camelot on Avalon and she and her companion princesses rode on these magical animals (Gwen had a Unicorn) Think He-Man meets Sailor Moon.

There were male Jewel Riders too.. Arthur and his companions who rode on wolves.

The show was renamed in some areas to Starla and the Jewel Riders. Dunno why.

The main plot was that Merlin went missing and they had to go to different lands thru Travel Trees (Stargates really) to find these jewels so they could get Merlin back and he could help them defeate the evil Lady Kale/Morgan Le Fay (Gwen's aunt).

They also had Merlin's owl, Archimedes, as their guardian.

Oddly enough, I remember hearing the theme song, or maybe something from a toy commercial, but I never saw the show...

There was a show that came on after America's Funniest Home Videos, (with Bob Saget) hosted by "Joey" from Full House... What was that show called? Anyway, that show was better, I think, because of the Jackelope.

Heh...I've never seen these on rerun:

Greatest American Hero
RipTide

and I vaguely remember this one show about a private detective searching for a Maltese falcon or monkey or something. He had a one eyed dog named Jack that wore a patch over its eye...and they were always looking for the eye.....Darned if I can't remember the name of that now :(

Believe it or not... I have.. :lol:

It's on DVD, they're making a movie, and there's a comic series called Truth, Justin, and the American Way that's a spoof of Greatest American Hero.

The theme song is one of my fave songs.

You mean America's Funniest People? It used to air (in re-runs) late nites on TBS...not sure it does anymore. Dave also had a female co-host, but I can't remember her name.

Yea, that must have been it.

So, anybody know if Joe Stamos had a similar gig? :P
