I grew up on this one, six days a week. I doubt anyone outside of Alberta would recognize it though.

 

[Darth Pinche]

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

As a kid this was my show. I made model kits of the spaceships, watched al the episodes. It was basically CHiPs in space. So much disco!

 

[A Link to the Past]

I think of Persepolis all the time, it's literally my favorite movie ;(

Of course, I don't post enough for this name/avatar to be seen often.

Some of you are awesome at this, while others are terrible... you know who you are.

The Muppet Musicians of Bremen

These guys were nightmare fuel. Really, looking back, Jim Henson's stuff scared the shit out of me half the time.

 

[noquarter]

Meet The Stupids with Tom Arnold, featuring the song "I'm my own Grandpa". Couldn't even find the cover for it.

David The Gnome. Show was pretty good when I was a kid. Haven't seen it in forever though.

This movie (Intruders) scared me on such a level as a child that for years I was afraid to sleep in a room by myself. I would have a palatable sense of dread at the thought of living alone one day as an adult. In retrospect it's funny, but there are still things about that movie which makes it the scariest TV movie since IT.

 

[stryker1138]

I remember seeing a single episode of this when my parents finally decided to get cable and it's stuck with me for two decades.

Cubix Robots For Everyone. Never watched the show but saw a game at a retro gaming store the other day.

I still remember the "robots for everyone!" theme though.

Now when was the last time you thought of Lexx, the finest of weird sci-fi? Never? I thought so.

May His merciful Shadow fall upon you.

Fear.com

One of my life goals is to purchase the domain of feardotcom .com and I think about it lots so I'm gonna go with nuh uh!

I can go with a ton of obscure horror movies, but you know what I'm gonna throw in something on the mainstream side. How often do people talk about Deliver Us From Evil (2014)? Or the Cabin Fever remake? Hell, that film came and went and it completely passed me by. I didn't even see anyone mention how they remade the pancake scene :/

PANCAKES

 

[Regiruler]

The op of a thread just yesterday mentioned zatch bell so that put it on a few people's minds.

 

[oneida]

For the record, I hate the first 4 and like the last 4.

[mclem]

I racked my brain for a bit and came up with these, all from a British perspective:

Spoiler

The Fiddley Foodle Bird. Of note because it was narrated by Bruce Forsyth, who also appeared as a character in one or two episodes

Spoiler

The Giddy Game Show. There's a few episodes on Youtube, a sort of semi-interactive puzzle cartoon for young (preschool?) kids. Adored this one!

Spoiler

Never saw this broadcast, my only encounter with this was via a videotape that had episodes of this mixed with episodes of The Barkleys. Recently rewatched the intro on Youtube - holy hell, it's so 70's.

Spoiler

I remember very little. I think it was summer filler on the BBC? I've a nagging half-memory of watching it in Cornwall, which would have been from holidays in '93 or so.

Spoiler

Again, one of my memories from being very very young. I dunno if this was ever more pervasive in America - a quick Wikipedia told me that that characters were originally created by a greetings card company, which sounds about right.

Spoiler

A Hanna-Barbera one, but one of their more obscure - at least from a UK perspective - programmes. I remember the Speccy game was great, though!

And one that's so forgotten that I can't find images of the series itself, but here's the tie-in book (thanks, eBay!) that I owned:

Spoiler

If I recall the premise right, delivery boy gets bored and has daydreams, which lead to him going around on his bike having an adventure and imagining that various objects he encounters on the way are anthropomorphised characters in his story

 

[mclem]

This was revived in 2015. Not a bad attempt, either. TV's Kevin Eldon as Penfold!

 

[mclem]

Amusingly, I was thinking about this, on GAF, just yesterday. There was a discussion on the Doctor Who thread about the idea of Sean Pertwee playing his father - and it crossed my mind that, given Pertwee's Who era was well before my time, and I was terrified of Worzel Gummidge, my overwhelming televisual association with Jon Pertwee was as Spotty.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Surf Ninjas

Cowboys of Moo Mesa

Street Sharks

 

[louiedog]

M.A.N.T.I.S.

Starring Carl Lumbly (Sydney's partner on Alias) as a paraplegic wealthy doctor who fights crime thanks to a super suit.

edit: Oh, and it was a Sam Raimi joint.

Viper

This show pops into my head every 4 months or so since the Wheels of Fury DLC for Sleeping Dogs came out. It's basically the same car.

A group of people fight crime using a heavily modified Dodge Viper that's got all sort of gadgets and weapons from other popular weaponized cars belonging to guys named James Bond and Michael Knight. I'm pretty sure they had a drone before those were cool.

The thing about this movie is that the .com part was part of the websitename so it'd end up being Feardotcom .com

I think about Homeboys in Outer Space a few times a year. I watched some on YouTube not long ago. I also watched Nothing to Lose late last year. It held up better than I expected.

Nope. I didn't have cable as a kid and had to make do with whatever late night syndicated programs my local affiliates aired, including Homeboys in Outer Space. As far as Nothing to Lose, my parents really liked Tim Robbins and so they watched that a couple of times when I was a kid. I was never a big Martin Lawrence fan, though I enjoy his performance in that movie.

Lol ok. You can see where the question came from tho. Little known black show and a semi forgettable Martin movie. I'm glad to hear other ppl besides me think about them from Time to time.

[Dezzy]

I loved this movie when I was young, but I'm not sure if it ever really gained any popularity.

 

[Opticability]

The thing about this movie is that the .com part was part of the websitename so it'd end up being Feardotcom .com

I remember buying feardotcom just because the DVD cover looked scary and the synopsis seemed like they wanted to cash in on the ring hype. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. They also tried to sell us Germany as New York City lol

 

[semisonic]

Rat Pfink a boo boo. Caught this on TCM Underground once, have never heard anyone talk about it since. 1966, apparently a bad year for super heroes. And cinema. And super hero cinema. God, this movie sucks.

I loved that water was his weakness. He literally couldn't face a rainy day or a Super Soaker.

I think about how I learned about my own science of sleep while watching that movie.

Spoiler

I feel asleep

 

[Mushroomer25]

I watched it, don't remember it.

I was actually thinking about The River earlier today. Neat show, mainly since I was a sucker for found footage when it came out. Somehow both ahead of its time (pure horror TV with clear visual style), and very much a product of Paranormal Activity/LOST fever.

 

[Marvie_3]

Perfect Strangers was a staple of my childhood.

Another one of those things I look back at and think "no wonder I'm weird"

I'm still mad they've never released any more seasons on DVD besides 1&2.

Used to love this show.
