I guess they’re not interesting to me because they have a lot of episodes? I like looking up lesser-known stuff, like the late 1970’s science fiction comedy Quark, the two short-lived spin-offs from MASH (AfterMASH and WALTER; there’s also Trapper John MD, but that lasted a while) and the Casablanca series starring David Soul from Starsky & Hutch.
I also like looking up short-lived shows like Mr and Mrs Smith with Scott Bakula, and Space Rangers. Bonus points if they had episodes that never aired in the States, like Moon Over Miami (3 unaired episodes) or something like South of Sunset, starring Glenn Frey of The Eagles, which got pulled after airing just one episode. Or Turn-On, which was officially pulled after one episode, though a number of stations took it off the air during the first episode.
I guess we’re both interested in tv shows that have been memory-holed, we’re just using different ranges for what’s interesting?
I just want both! There’s something inherently very interesting about things that culturally disappear.
It’s flabbergasting to me that all these people got together to make TV shows, sometimes for years, and I’ve literally never even heard the title or what it’s about.
People wrote scripts, they had sound technicians and built sets. Actors were like “this is my big break!” and they did it for six years… and no one has ever heard of it.
Makes sense that Scott Bakula would have a few failed pilots, but 30 people got together for 7 years. Wtf!
