    I just realized a trend...lol

    Favorite New Fall TV Shows:

    Fall of 1973: The Magician; Cancelled after 1 season
    Fall of 1974: Planet Of The Apes; Cancelled after 1 season
    Fall of 1975: The Invisible Man; Cancelled after 1 season
    You and me both! It seemed like every new show I liked every new TV season got cancelled right away.

    I'd add Fantastic Journey, QED, Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future, Sable, and Mann & Machine. Plus, more recently, The Middleman, The Cape, and Legend of the Seeker.

            I absolutely loved "the Jackie Thomas show" starring Tom Arnold for the few months it was on.

            I also liked a lot of the WB/CW shows that didn't last more than a season...if that

                  Lots of talent on that show.

                        The Ghost Busters - the 1975 original series with Larry Storch, Forrest Tucker, and Bob Burns

                        Night Stalker - not sure if it qualifies as almost forgotten, because I know a lot of people that consider it a classic.

                        Hilarious House of Frightenstein - loved this show as a kid, and it still holds up well for me. And hey, my daughter enjoyed it too when she watched some episodes in the early 2000's with me. Pretty sure, this is more of a regional thing, as it was a Canadian kids TV show that we here in the Great Lakes region got to see as well.

                        Special Unit 2 - one from 2001 that no one else seemed to like and I don't think ever saw a DVD release.
                        I loved almost every minute if it's craziness. Monsters are real, and there is a special police division that hunts them and keeps them in line. It was funny, and had monsters, what more could you want?
                        Oh, and it is also where I first saw Pauley Perrette before NCIS became a show.

                        Space: Above and Beyond - another sci-fi show that only got one short season before being canceled.

                          Did they ever make an animated series of Emergency or am I thinking of something else?

                            What was the 80's show that featured a car/tractor trailer hybrid ?

                            Never seen it, but remember the promo commercials

                              Many good ones were mentioned here!

                              I enjoyed Tales of the Gold Monkey.

                              I recently watch the 90's Rockford Files, which I originally missed.

                              I loved watching Stingray when it was on, or maybe is still on, a streaming channel.

                              Planet of the Apes was quality stuff, and there were cool moments when the astronauts showed up and made the Apes better at farming.

                              It is cool that Wizard and Warriors is available on DVD.

                              I did not get around to watching the Blue Thunder TV Series, but I might try it sometime.

                                I believe you are referring to The Highwayman, mentioned previously.
