Speaking of Sliders, UPN had a couple cool shows when it launched -
Starred Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike from the Abrams Star Trek films!) and was about a photographer who took some photos of a political execution in some shit hole and gets his entire life deleted. Despite its high ratings it only lasted one season. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT. I remember really liking it.
Guys video game breaks in to the real world and he has to hunt down all the baddies, I think one per episode. This is another show that only ran one season. Christopher Lloyd was the main bad guy.
With shows like this that only had the one season they never qualified for proper syndication and I never saw them just on reruns on some other dumping ground. Maybe the got picked along the way as cable continued to expand but I don't watch TV for shit any more. I'd probably never watch this again despite my teen self liking it but I'd give Nowhere Man another spin.

Dream On definitely wasn’t obscure if your family had HBO. All I knew about it was that none of the topics made any sense and none of the characters were relatable to me, but sometimes boobs! And I think about it in the same group as Arliss, Gary Shandling Show (Showtime), and something else I’m forgetting (Sherman Oaks?) that was an HBO/Showtime 1996-1998 period.
I feel like you posted Wild Palms once before and I watched it. Because it is very familiar but only in an Internet kind of way.

One of the things I want to do when I win the lottery is start a TV station that plays nothing but shows that aren't in syndication. Well, maybe not NOTHING BUT, because I will want me some A-team and Dukes of Hazzard mixed in. El Rey is already a lot like that, but I'd go further in on the obscure shows and not try to make any original content. Weekends I'd do marathons of 1 season shows. But during the week I'd have a schedule. You want goofy comedies? Tune in this time every day. You want sci-fi? That's another time slot.

I enjoyed this show too. Show about a website that investigates strange things after the creator goes missing, or something like that.

I raise you.
Australian production, had some Saturday network syndication in the USA. Was probably the first fantasy TV series for some folk-- despite there being a lot of movies from the 80's, there wasn't a lot of TV.

Thanks, fucker. Now that song is stuck in my head.
get on board, step inside, soarrring on a magic ride...
Fuck you.
PS. yes, Misfits of Science was great. Spawned a lot of copies over the years too. Most recent was prolly Alphas, another show cancelled before its time. Which brings us to another show mentioned "Otherworld." The show I will always remember because it was the first in a long, long line of fantasy and sci-fi tv shows that the networks would cancel early. Fuck all those faggots.
