Old shows that you enjoy?

Does anyone remember the show Automan:
I've no idea if I'd still enjoy it (it popped into my head because I comment in the Tron:Ares trailer thread and Tron always reminds me of it), I had to google to find out what it was called but I remember watching it as a kid.

It was a bit cringey, but I enjoyed it at the time.

I'm watching Space Above and beyond on youtube and this was in it. It takes place in 2063

I wonder how forgotten at least a few of the nerdy examples there are. Dark Shadows isn't, for example.

I went through that list and definitely remember 4 of those shows (some may not have reached NZ) and there are a couple of maybes. It's not something I've really thought of, but the sheer amount of shows and movies we've had since the television was created is truly staggering.

I remember liking Dark Skies, or at least crushing on Eric Close. There were a lot of X-Files clones those days, most were trash, but I dug the period piece nature of that one.

Roar ... well I already mentioned Robin of Sherwood in this thread ... and I loved Xena ... so yeah, Roar was definitely something I watched.

If those were out there and streamable, I might consider a rewatch.

Several others on this list I knew about but didn't watch. Sportsnight might be my fav Aaron Sorkin series, because I find the West Wing hasn't aged well and Sorkin long disappeared up his own butt.

I remember a few of those. Like the author of the article, I absolutely loved Young Riders. I remember watching 12 of them.

I have the first season on dvd. It had a hell of a cast - Stephen Baldwin, Josh Brolin, Anthony Zerbe, Don Franklin...

I love how they're claiming shows have been forgotten because they're not currently streaming - tell me you're Gen Z without telling me you're Gen Z, lol.

Thirtysomething, Young Riders, Bosom Buddies, Alien Nation, Small Wonder, The Real Ghostbusters, Dark Shadows, Headbangers Ball... There's a good chance pretty much anyone who was actually alive in the US at the time they aired might still remember those.
Night Flight, Seven Days (Jonathan LaPaglia is always good), Dark Skies, The Heights, Sisters, VR5, Sports Night, Herman's Head, Psi Factor, Roar, Homefront, I remember all of those, even though I only watched a couple of them.

I remember maybe 1/3 of those shows. For many of them there's a reason they were forgotten.

The original isn't forgotten, but the 1991 remake? I had definitely forgotten about it. It does remind me, however, of the one season show on Fox that was based on "Vampire: The Masquerade" called "Kindred: The Embraced."
