Tv Shows You Love That Everyone's Forgoten About
 
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:

MrPliggins 08-20-2011 11:07 PM

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

Greatest forgotten intro ever. Listen to that f*cking BEAT! DAMN!

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.


Sage Ninja 08-26-2011 11:19 AM



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:


Mr._Mutant_Man 09-10-2011 10:27 AM

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.

Rat A Tat 09-10-2011 11:57 AM

Here's one I loved that never got any play.

The thing I never got was where were you supposed to get the 3D glasses for that show?

VaughnMichael 09-12-2011 02:37 AM

It's odd that people I meet don't remember these shows.








This could be one of my favorites ever.

Check out Galaxy High, a lot of the tmnt voice actors are on it and you will here Pat do a Krang like croaking noise on the gym teachers voice.

It was funny a guy a friend of mine was dating when I lived in L.A. knew I was a cartoon nut and he came to me describing this show and I had his answer right away lol

Booey Bubblehead sounds just like Irma lol

VaughnMichael 09-12-2011 03:26 AM

Hows about some tigersharks?

I won't lie I loved this one as a kid lol

Wasn't a kids show but The Brothers Grunt had to be one of the strangest shows ever.

And one of my all time favorites Sifl & Olly!

ZariusTwo 09-12-2011 06:45 AM

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.

Leonardo Mystic 09-12-2011 09:46 PM

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.


tone-master21 09-12-2011 10:14 PM

I used to like to watch these

Life with Louie


Jungle Cubs

VaughnMichael 09-13-2011 01:05 AM

I loved life with Louie, the dad always cracked me up.

BubblyShell22 09-13-2011 08:38 AM

I loved The Raccoons so much. Also remember Life with Louie briefly and Jungle Cubs.

Sword Slicin' Leo 09-13-2011 01:26 PM

The wonder YEars"for me...i thought it was a great show, that yes yet to be released on DVD...apparently music right are the only reason it has'nt happened :(

XERO 09-13-2011 08:24 PM

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.


oldmanwinters 09-13-2011 09:22 PM

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

Denver: The Last Dinosaur

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

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...

Dino-Riders!


Dinosaurs + laser battles + cool space-age technology = Holy cow!

VaughnMichael 09-14-2011 06:48 AM

Camp Candy

ZariusTwo 09-14-2011 03:21 PM

The Ink Theif

This had a VERY breif run, only six episodes, but I always remembered the theme song

BubblyShell22 09-14-2011 04:35 PM

I don't have a clip of it, but I remember the show Ghostwriter very vividly. It used to be shown on PBS.

Anarchistguy 09-14-2011 05:13 PM

Here's the intro of a weird sketch Show called Squawk Box:
