What was the show with the little person inventor/toymaker? Was that Warrick Davis? Does that count?

The wizard I think. What was the one about the 2 oriental brothers? The young one was dead. Lots of fights. Dead younger brother jokes. I liked that one.
 


'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's the Lost World', they show it a lot on the sci-fi channel here.

What genre shows aspire to be more than B-movie esque?
I think Star Trek, Babylon-5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and probably Highlander, are some good candidates for A-list.

By contrast Hercules & Xena have a strong B-movie feel.

That would be VOYAGERS!. Used to be my favorite show, for the whole season it ran. Sadly, nobody remembers it, and it was pretty good.

I remember it :) I doubt I still have any taped. Poor guy, dying like that :(

Mmm, B-level sci-fi/Fantasy shows?

Let's go to the database.

Logan's Run

Sinbad was pretty good; the second season was suppossed to be quite good, but I never saw any of it.

The Crow: Stiarway to Heaven was watchable, but then I've always liked Marc Dacascos. Catch Crying Freeman sometime.

I'd mention Kolchak, but that was pure A-level :)

Wild. Wild, West. Ah, Dr. Loveless. I never saw the modern movie, but I have fond memories of the original series.

The Superboy series was pretty darn good at times.

7 Days was very cool; very interesting concept.

Quark! Man, how could I forget Quark.

Does anyone rememer Fantastic Journey? Man, that was a freaky show. It didn't last too long, but it was one of the first I ever saw that had main characters leave, new ones come in, etc.

-----
A scientific expedition in the Atlantic Ocean headed by Dr Paul Jordan becomes lost in the Bermuda Triangle and washes up on an uncharted island. In the pilot episode they meet Varian, a man from the 23rd century who tells them about a place to the East called Evailand where they can find a door way back to there own time. Most of the group either died or made it home leaving Varian, Fred Walters and Paul's 13 yr. old son Scott to make there way east. Along the way they meet up with travelers from other times, planets and dimensions who have also become trapped. Liana, a woman with an alien mother and an Atlantium father with her cat Sil-l, is the first to join them. Then Jonathan Willoway, a scientist from the 60s is invited to join. Together they travel through portals from one dimension to the next hoping to find the one that leads home.

Basically, the further you walked, the greater chance you'd just fuzz out in a blur of light and reappear in the next dimension. :)

This Link has an episode guide with some synopsis for it.
