SciFi used to have a bunch of decent shows that never made it past a few seasons but we all know SciFi is notorious for canceling successful shows.
I used to enjoy watching First Wave and Good vs Evil. They were pretty fun shows back in the day.
Another show that always pissed me off that it never ran past the initial season was Space Above and Beyond. Was such a great show. Intro music always got me pumped up for each episode. Always reminded me of the Red Dawn main theme. When the shit was gonna hit the fan, better deal in the Wild Cards.
So as a kid in the wee early hours I once watched a game show where the contests slapped each other for money and other bizarre shit. It concluded with husband and wife playing Russian Roulette with each other. The wife just pulled the trigger over and over until the host grabbed it away from her. During commercial breaks instead of cutting away you stayed on set and watched what happens when advertisements play. I was 9 or 10 and it broke my fucking mind. I tried explaining it to my mother and I had to sound like a crazy person. She said it was ever on again to let her know. I tried finding another episode of this game show and never, ever could.
This is that show -
"For the sum of 2500 dollars you must strike your loved one in the face."
Man, it's just as dark as I remember it too. The wife saying "I hate you" to her husband and just pulling the trigger one time after another to win 100,000 dollars.
it turned out to be an episode of a Christian Twilight Zone knockoff, I still can't believe anyone aired the fucking thing
Northern Exposure is nice. too bad its not on normal streaming, just random episodes on youtube.

No one I know remembers or has heard of this show but I’m sure plenty here have.

I 'member!Not sure if obscure if you were an 80s kid, but I used to love the cartoon Mysterious Cities of Gold. They made the Olmecs into some weird ass aliens lol
Spartacus and the sun beneath the sea was a weird fucking cartoon that used to play around the sametime. The finale for that I remember as odd - the main characters turned into orbs or something and the kids got booted back to the surface world
I used to watch Sliders a ton compared to Quantum Leap.Quantum Leap - Maybe not so obscure since there's a meme
Alf

Alf was supposed to be a kids show but was weird as shit.

Chiggy von Richthofen
