Welcome to r/forgottentv, the ultimate destination for all things related to forgotten TV shows. Tell us about the shows YOU remember and want to discuss. Whether they were critically acclaimed gems or cringe-worthy disasters, this sub is dedicated to exploring and discussing those hidden treasures that have slipped through the cracks of mainstream recognition. Let's gather here to celebrate forgotten TV shows! Note: This is NOT r/TipOfMyTongue

A Subreddit where old forgotten TV shows are discussed. These shows can be good or bad. They do share one thing in common though: No one remembers them!

Rules Of Thumb

  1. Shows should have lasted for no more than FOUR seasons.

  2. Shows final season should be at least FIVE years prior to the current year (though some exceptions can be made)

  3. Link Posts can either be links to IMDB or Wikipedia pages or YouTube videos of intros. While Text posts can be discussions about shows or questions about how to find shows legally.

  4. No links to illegal streams of the shows. NO EXCEPTIONS.

  5. Please only downvote if posts break any of these rules

With the exception of Rule 4, there is a little bit of wiggle room to these.

We reserve the right to remove posts about shows that are well known despite having early cancellations.

Freakazoid! (95-97)

To this day it remains one of my favorite cartoons of all time and yet I feel like I could count on one hand how many people I know in real life who remember this show. Show some love for Dexter Douglas!

War of the Worlds (1988)

If anybody remembers this show, it's a very interesting case study. The first season is a pretty bog-standard 80s sci-fi thing where the original WotW aliens are discovered hiberating in toxic waste drums, they try to take over the world, a scrappy band of scientists fight them in a world that's pretty much the regular world.

Then in season two the show like...completely changed. They killed off two of the main characters, added a new one, switched out aliens, and it's now a post-apocalytpic dystopia? It's more or less an entirely different show with the same title and a couple of actors in common. It's so weird to me. I was obsessed with the first season, but the second one lost me entirely.

Tag Team 1991

Having Jesse the body Ventura and Rowdy Roddy Piper in a tv show could’ve been amazing, the entire pilot is on YouTube and while it’s a bit cheesy this was 1991

ER comedy

Ran on 1984 on season. I'm pretty sure George Clooney showed up later in the season and just realized that is Berta from 2 and half men.
