TV shows nobody else remembers

If it wasn't for the internet, I would have been sure I made the whole thing up... I have never found anyone who remembers it. But I *loved* an 80s sci-fi show called "Otherworld". The premise was about a family being transported via a pyramid to an alternate earth, and them trying to find their way home. Also, there was some sort of cop on the family's trail that they were constantly on the run from... as was all the rage on TV in those days (A Team, The Incredible Hulk, etc.)



...Oh, and just to echo what others have said about "American Gothic"... it is criminal that it never caught on with audiences. And that young kid on the show was such a fantastic actor.

The show is "Once a Hero" which starred Robert Forster as "Gumshoe"

Duck Factory was the Jim Carrey show, but I remember not liking it for some reason.

I used to watch Delta House all the time, too. Another one from a movie that I really liked as a TV show was Operation Petticoat with the pink sub. John Astin was the Captain in the show. I remember one line that still makes me giggle. They needed to patch a hole that was letting water in and they used a sheet of ply wood. One of the crew asks do you think that it is safe to use wood to plug the hole? To which John Astin sarcastically responds "Ya know they are thinking of making boats out of wood now"

Probably why it never lasted more than one season

"Trauma Center" with Lou Ferrigno. He played a paramedic. I believe one episode was a cross-over with "The Fall Guy."

Some of my fave shows that know one seems to remember are dramas. Dolphin's Cove, A Year In The Life, Aaron's Way, Legacy. And a lot of Shaun Cassidy's shows that he created and/or produced (or was a show runner or script advisor):

Over My Dead Body
American Gothic
Cover Me
The Agency
The Mountain
Tarzan
Invasion

I think that shows of this calibre are to cerebral for the typical television viewer. I loved American Gothic!

"There's someone at the door!"

Another show that died way too early was Maximum Bob.

Anyone remember the comedy Best of the West with Joel Higgins from Silver Spoons and Salvage 1?

I used to like that quite a bit when I was a kid. I especially liked Tracey Walter's character, Frog.

I think I remember Houndcats. Weren't they like hillbillies?

Not sure if they were hillbillies....they were some kind of Mission Impossible spoof guys...

Hillbillies makes me thing of Cattanooga Cats though...They were a music group that had a hippies vibe
