Flash Forward would have been a great mini series but it seemed to go on and on and one especially with the long break.

Flash Forward and JourneyMan were the only two I ever thought of watching. I was hooked on each from start to untimely end. JourneyMan if only because Kevin McKidd is a Scot that can talk American.

I picked up the Firefly DVD so I could revisit well-made Sci-Fi.

My dad didn’t like too many TV shows but he watched this one every week. I thought it was pretty good at the time.

At the time, I thought it was a fascinating show with an utterly mind blowing premise...
But then, I was only 9 years old!

Bought the DVD and actually enjoyed it. As a 70’s kid who watched too much TV, I did not remember it all.

I’d rather not remember. It is up there in bad TV with Supertrain.

Anyone remember “Nowhere Man”?
Older stuff...
Misfits of Science?
Automan?

I loved it and was very sad when it ended. Loved Gene/Jean. The person will both male and female DNA. He would be all macho and yelling, then his female side would come out.
I think it was just a bit too warped for tv. Even on SNL, Buck Henry had a different kind of humor.

The “Star Lost” IIRC, with John Boy Walton sort of like the Amish Bruce Dern of “Silent Running”

Primeval was cut short too. There was talk of making a final round of episodes to wrap it up.

how writers could envision advanced robots, but not computers for storage of information. Sci fi of that time was a work in progress. :)

Jekyll on BBC was great. Sadly, I dont think it made it through even a full season.Jekyll was never meant to be an ongoing series. It was a complete story in 6 episodes. The Brits still do that sort of thing. I wish we would.Tell a damn story with a beginning, middle and end rather than try to sustain something until it simply runs out of steam and gets cancelled.
Check out Dead Set, if you're into British TV horror. Zombies vs self-centered idiots in a "Big Brother" style house on a TV studio lot.
