Not sure if obscure but two of my favorite one off, one season shows was
Double Rush (hilarious bike messenger show with an all star comedian cast)
DL Hugley
David Arquette
Adam Goldberg
Sam Lloyd
Robert Pastorelli
And
Clone High (which had almost the exact same cast as scrubs)
Jfk and the principal slayed in that show.
Also, wtf happened to spin city and why can't you stream it or news radio?

skipped through it and in the 4-5 seconds it was painfully obvious this was scripted

Thundarr got a nice Blu ray release this past year where they went back to the original animation masters and scanned them in. Absolutely beautiful and full of details that never were visible in the original broadcast.

it was tongue in cheek. my dad liked it, but young teenage chuk could take it or leave it.
another obscure show was Police Squad!. i didnt like it that much when it aired. when the naked gun movies came out years later i went back to rewatch the Police Squad episodes. nope, still didnt care for them. the jokes were watered down for tv and didnt have thir edge

Was the show I couldn't remember the name of not obscure enough? I actually didn't remember the name of Do Over either, but google did.

any Brits here who had obscure TV shows they watched? we used to get some stuff here, but i think it was big over in the UK. like we had Benny Hill, but that was a big show. we also had the Paul Hogan show which was likely big for the Aussies. was also something called The Goodies. which was sketch comedy in the vein of Monty Python.

As I was scrolling through these to make sure no one had said my thoughts already, I was specifically thinking of these two shows. Glad to see someone else watched them at least.
Kindred: The Embraced was fantastic, and when I later found out (through this forum) that the lead actor died in a motorcycle accident (I think) I was pretty bummed even years later. I have this entire series "archived" so I can watch it again whenever I want, as I don't remember ever seeing it streaming anywhere.
As far as Blackstar, the thing I remember most (besides his awesome flying mount, Warlock I think?) is in one of the episodes the bad guy joined the two halves of the sword together, and instead of that weak white glow, it had this blinding white argent color that was just fucking awesome. At the time I was pretty heavily into shit like the Thomas Covenant books, and I immediately thought that was exactly what white gold wild magic would look like.

Came here to say "Tales From The Darkside" but that was a page 2 post I think. Freaky Deeky intro splash for a little kid in the 80s late night.
This was similar; with the skeery toned down and more morbidly humorous tones turned up.
^ Yeah, Goldblum!

I was like 9! I think it must have been on some early morning Christian broadcasting block because it didn't air commercials. Seeing what happens behind the scenes in the show when a commercial should be airing broke my head.
