Good ones. Don't consider Psych forgotten because of the once a year movies.

I loved Magic City. Its cancellation was a real disappointment.

Stole mine. Such a "frick you" ending, the likes of which I had never really seen on tv at the time.

About 80% of the shows mentioned in this thread aren't "forgotten" - they're still popular on re-runs or people talk about them as all the time or they're cult classics.

Recently Continuum (I don't know another person who watched this show.)

Old school, Double Trouble Was in love with those twins as a kid.

And

Benson - I do think, while the show was popular in its time, that it's been forgotten when we mention pantheon of great 70's/80's shows - the show lasted 8 years. It's not Cheers but should be remembered more fondly.

About half of Fox’s production from the early 2000s counts.

Titus, Greg The Bunny, Action, Dark Angel, etc.


If Peter Griffin listed it off in the first episode of Family Guy post-cancellation, it may be worth a try.

Millennium got fricked by being run by a different creative staff each season, none of which reconciled well.

For example, season 2 ended with what was supposed to be a killer designer germ that threatened the world. Season 3 opened revealing that the body count ended up being only 2 digits.


It lends itself well to binge watching on DVD or Netflix more than it did to watch it live, IMHO.

Wiseguy was a prototype for the kinds of shows we have now IMHO.

There was a core cast but you could have a multi-episode arc about various crooks or a one off about individual characters like Vinnie, McPike, or Lifeguard.

This show is why I thought Jonathan Banks should get more work. Finally happened between Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

The show was supposed to be renewed with a number of the main cast members being replaced due to the results of that last episode.

The arc with the missing colonists was over but the war would continue.

I was thinking about that show a few days ago. Found some on YouTube.

I’m wondering if Picket Fences holds up.

I’d watch it just to stare at Lauren Holly.
