    I'm down to Saturday Morning fare to try and think of obscure shows:

    Ark II!

    Run Joe Run should be science fiction since it was basicaly The Fugitive, with a dog as David Janssen.

    I remember Earth 2 being on, but never saw it. I missed a lot of shows between '82 and '90 because I was usually doing nightly computer maintenance from 2pm to 10pm or whenever all the backups were finished. That's why I bought my first VCR.

    Oh, I see it was '94-'95. I had hit hard times again, moved a lot, and finally got another job with hours from 3pm to 9pm.

    Word to the Wise: An A.A. in Humanities doesn't do shit.

    Too bad Filmation did not produce another season; it was finding its way near the end of its limited run.

    Oh, yeah, now I'm remembering Serling doing the introductions. Very interesting.

    Saturday morning?

    Here Comes The Grump
    Archie's Sunday Funnies
    And a rotating movie type of show that included a cartoon version of Lost In Space

    Not sure what that could be. There was one pilot made for an LiS cartoon, but only one.

    A show that made a big impression on me when I was a kid was Otherworld which ran for eight episodes during the winter/early spring of 1985. It was about a family that got transported through the Great Pyramid into what seemed to be a parallel universe. They end up as fugitives on the run on a strange and dangerous world which is divided up into dozens of different zones - each with different forms of government and ways of life.

    I blind bought it a year or two ago and ended up being quite impressed with it, but I also wondered how the hell it passed under my radar since I usually jump on anything sci-fi when it comes to anime.

    I might have to keep an eye out and see if it ever comes to the US. The cast is enough to get me to at least give it a try.

    A short trailer to give an impression of the first episode:

    Remember that it's an anthology series, made up of separate stories that are only tied together by the appearance of that last fragment of a world that was destroyed long ago (sometimes as mere decoration, sometimes as a plot device).

    Well, I was going to say "The Questor Tapes" but Christopher mentioned it already. :p

    Then I was going to say. Space 1999... but alas... ;)

    So now I guess I'll mention "Manimal". :vulcan: (Is that considered scifi or just fantasy?)

    While we're at it:

    Genesis II (1973)

    Strange New World (1975)

    Spectre (1977)

    But I'm pretty sure not only I have watched those... as a matter of fact I've made sure not only I watched those :p
