I really liked Spielberg's Earth 2. Terra Nova looks like it's heading down the same road, though.

I wonder if we will have to add The Cape to the list

Star Cops

Was one of the few British Sci Fi TV shows that had other sci Fi writters praising it.

Needless to say the beeb did not know what to do with it.

Spielberg's big family/dinosaur show that premieres in May and starts in the fall:

Steven Spielberg's 'Terra Nova' Is Nothing Like 'Lost,' Producers Insist - Live Feed

blastr.com had some pics up a while ago, and it looked like Earth 2 starring the guy from US Life on Mars.

Enterprise ran four years... some would say that was too long, but it doesn't belong on a list like this...

I could have gone for a couple more seasons of Max Headroom. Damn you, Corbin Bernsen! You took my beloved Amanda Pays off my TV!

Journeyman.....I watched every episode. It ended in the middle of the show, no resolution to the story.

Time Trax.

Loved that show.

But, it did get 2 seasons.

Loved Journeyman.


What about Joe Doe? I was really into that and then KAPUT. And while Surface wasn't so hot, I did really want to know about where those trains were headed.

Aw... now you made me cry. That show was so awesome.

But it did have sort of an ending: Katie finally saw Dan disappear, so she knew he wasn't lying to her. Cold comfort for fans, sure, but still a sort of resolution.

If it was better it would have run longer. I liked the concept but I think they blew it.

Invasion (showed some promise, before it got canceled).
Millenium (It was great in 99, then went downhill). I loved this sister series to the X Files.

Probe. Just been watching it this week. Total 80's cheese, but never really had a chance to find an audience.
