    I liked The Others. I was sorry it was cancelled.

        I'll try to list a few that no one else has...

        SU 2 (Special Unit 2)
        Eerie, Indiana
        VR5
        Vanished
        Freaky Links
        Poltergeist the Legacy
        The Others

        All I can say is, thanks be to DVD (at least for some of these series)
        i was thinking of poltergeist the legacy but couldnt think of name!it was actually on for quite awhile ,but it was hard to find i used to watch on a canadian channel,till cable broadcasters blocked signal!

          The Starlost hasn't been mentioned...created by Harlan Ellison, then disowned once he saw the finished product.

          Loved Logan's Run and Battlestar Galactica as a kid.

            Misfits of Science....
            "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

            In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

                  Briscoe county was a sci fi show????

                  Some shows mention tough only having one or 2 seasons got re-aired oftten enough it is hard to say they were short-lived (like Galactica)

                  I can't add anything new to the list but I watched Automan weekly with my friends in high school. I should have taped it when it was re-aired a few years ago for what I believe was the first and last re-air.

                  I also LOVED man from atlantis.

                    a classic that show is a sign of thinking outside the box who knew people making fun of bad SCI fi flicks which everyone does woudl make money and it probably made a BUNCH

                      Had an extraterrestrial device, time travel, and the professor was always working on "the coming thing."

                      Dunno if I'd call "Mystery Science Theater 3000" short lived. It was on for ten years....

                          Mine was POTA for sure! And yes Phoenix was cool, I have that somewhere on DVD, a DVD-R that is. That show was never released officially.

                                Everything's been mentioned, but really, if anything deserved a longer run, it was Firefly.

                                As a young one, The Night Stalker seemed really spooky to me back then. Now it seems pretty "quaint".

                                I'm just waiting for LOST to start back up.
