TV shows nobody else remembers

[ctc]

So....

There are three tv shows I've never been able to find info on, and nobody else seems to have ever seen:

-one was really reminiscent of Futurama. It was about two guys who fell asleep with a hotplate running, and it created a gas that froze them for hundreds of years. They awoke in a future where a computer decided everybody's job. Their aid worker wanted to be a tapdancer. It was a comedy, late 70's. SOme folks remember it, but nobody remembered the title.

-"Ooops." A post-apocalypse comedy featuring a house where four or five survivours met; and really cheap effects. I only remember one episdoe, and a preview for the second, where a giant spider attacks. (Actually a tarantula that walks over a cheap model of the house.) Late 70's.

-"1313 Mockingbird Lane" which I don't think was a Munsters revamp, but was kinda similar. Spooky house, monster neighbors. Late 70's/early 80's.

I remember the 'Ooops' show, on Fox Network when it was just starting out in '92. The girls were hot.., it was a post-apocalyptic 'Gilligan's Island'.

>it was a post-apocalyptic 'Gilligan's Island'

Yeah! That's the best way to explain it! I don't remember much of it.... mostly the preview.

The correct title is actually "Woops!":

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103583/
It aired from September to December 1992.

I can't find anything on "1313 Mockingbird Lane" that doesn't reference "The Munsters". I know there were two pilots for a show called "Mr. and Mrs. Dracula" that aired in 1980:

Beyond that, I got nothin'

was just about to say, that was called woops.

I used to watch what they called "garbage dump theatre" in the summer, all the failed pilots. I remember "the paul williams show" pilot and one that centered around a man who built androids, clearly inspired by Star Wars.

As for regular tv, "A Man Called Sloane" is one of my favourite 70s shows but few remember it.

Holey Smokes! There it is! I don't remember more than one episdoe, and I remember it from a lot earlier.... but that's it!

Those COULD be it.... The only things I remember from it are a shot from the opening/buffer of the address plate with a branch blowing over it; and that I thought it was really funny.

I remember it, but not the title. Pretty sure it was a failed pilot aired as a movie or event. There was only ever the one episode.

There were a few shows from early Fox that I'd like to see again. I liked 'Pig Sty' and nobody has ever heard of that either.

I loved "A Man Called Sloane". Watched it religiously when it was on, don't remember a thing about it except Robert Conrad and his sidekick Torque with the robot arm and different finger attachments.

I think we had a thread here a few years back where it was revealed that there were actually Megos in a few episodes because the secret headquarters was disguised as/underneath a toy store.

I remember a show called "Stingray" about a guy in a black corvette who helped people in return for a favor. It was a good show that no one else seems to remember.

UPN show from 95, it mirrored my life at the time very well.

Its funny to watch it now and see Torque go under cover, nobody seems to notice the plumber is a giant with a robot hand.

I've never been able to make anything out but i want to.

This is an easy one for me.

Ogon Bat (Fantasmagórico in Latin America).

It was one of my favorite Japanese toons...wildly popular in Mexico...but I have never even remotely seen the show here in the States.

Perhaps the story about a superhero with a skull head befriending kids was a bit too creepy for American audiences back in the day...
