c/forgotten-tv-shows

Just realized I've been mixing up the plots of two 90s shows for years

I was talking to a friend about the show 'The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.' and he pointed out my favorite scene with the orb was actually from 'M.A.N.T.I.S.'! I'd been blending them in my head since they both aired on Fox in 1994. Which forgotten show from that era had the weirder sci-fi premise?

Rant: I wrote off 'The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.' as pure nonsense for way too long.

I always thought the cowboy-meets-sci-fi premise was just stupid when I caught reruns as a kid. Giving it another shot as an adult, I finally saw the genius in its goofy, pulpy fun. What forgotten show did you totally misjudge before?

It bugs me how 'The Storyteller' isn't available to stream anymore.

I loved watching 'The Storyteller' as a kid. My favorite part was the episode where the moon falls in love. The puppetry was so creative and the stories felt magical. But lately, I tried to show it to my niece and couldn't find it on any service. It's not on Netflix, Hulu, or even for purchase in good quality. This makes me sad because these shows are part of our TV history. They should be kept alive for new audiences.

The cheap sets on 'Star Command' never bothered me like they did others

Everyone claims the show looked too fake and that's why it failed. My favorite part is when the crew has to fix their ship using spare parts, it felt real and clever. What old space show do you think people are too rough on?

PSA: Dug up an old tape of 'The Great Space Coaster'... my brother and I would imitate the puppets, which always confused our parents.

PSA: Recall that vintage series with the chaotic kitchen battles?

When a baker forgot eggs, the cake turned into a brick.
