What are some TV shows that you watch or have watched that not many other people (you know) did or seemed to. You don't have to have thought it was great or anything, just watched it.

I've noticed that some shows I've watched over the years weren't really talked about on this board, or aren't really known by people I know. Stuff like that.

Here are some of mine:

- Cougar Town - I know some people who watch it, but not many. I actually like this show more than I ever figured I would when I started watching it several years ago. Still on the air though, so I guess enough people are watching.

- Mr. Sunshine - Obviously unpopular since it got canned less than a season into it, but I really liked it. I'm not even a big Matthew Perry fan, but I thought the show was pretty solid.

- Outsourced - Really liked this one, and I thought it was getting better and better each week, but it ended up getting shitcanned. I guess if a show doesn't get peoples' attention quickly, TV execs don't really give it time to build an audience.

- The River - based on my other thread that's not getting much response.

- I actually watched Cavemen, though I didn't think it was very good. I guess I watched the pilot mainly for the novelty (and expecting it to suck) and didn't throw my remote through the TV, so I stuck with it (knowing it wouldn't last long because it did kinda suck).

- I did like the show that came on after Cavemen...Carpoolers I think? Although thinking back, I don't really remember much about any of the episodes...but I do remember watching it at the time and thinking it wasn't too bad.

- SportsNight - I remember watching it on TV and liking it a lot, but not many people I know did.

- Freaks and Geeks - great television back in the day, but not many people know too much about it, and the ones that do only do because the cast went on to become decent-to-big stars.


Most of these are shows that I liked, but weren't too upset when they got cancelled. The main one that I wish would've stayed longer is Outsourced. And Freaks and Geeks as well.

Carnivale. One of my favorite shows, yet I've never actually met anyone who has seen it and it gets no interest on this board.

I bought it on DVD a year or two ago. Still havent watched it yet, but I definitely plan to one day. I've heard good things (and bad things).

I was a fan of outsourced too even though 99% of people hated it.

There have been several I watched that got canned early. The one I was probably most into was Haunted with Matthew Fox. I loved that show, but apparently I was the only one since it only got 1 season.

Outsourced was pretty good. It was definitely better than the stupid baby show with Applegate and Arnett

I've only seen the first season, but I loved it.

I think it's one of the rare HBO shows to get cancelled.

I downloaded it after I got done watching Deadwood. But I haven't gotten started on it yet cause I had started watching Game of Thrones first.

Started a thread on this show yesterday. I liked it. More than I'm liking Happy Endings, which took Sunshine's spot.

The pilot was its weakest episode and the show was coming into its own when it was cancelled. If given another year, I think it would have launched.

I watched both these shows. Carpoolers had some solid episodes. Cavemen was so awful, but I liked the tone of the show and the terms they used for humans. ('sapes)
