TV shows nobody else remembers

[palitoy]

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.

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:

So....


-"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.

The correct title is actually "Woops!":

It aired from September to December 1992.

>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.

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'.

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.

-"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.
