The second season of Get A Life got so bizarre. I loved it.

People still remember Xena and Hercules but how come no one ever talk about that dope Robin Hood show?

I think that's because Chris Elliott knew the show was on borrowed time so he just said, "fuck it." What made the show funny to me (and especially my father) was that Elliott was a 30 year old paperboy living with his parents- which was the same situation as our paperboy (more like paperman, amirite) when I was growing up. My paperboy should have gotten royalties or sumthin'.

The 90s had excellent shows that got cancelled early.

There was The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, with Bruce Campbell. One season and they cancelled it. One of the best written adventure comedies of the 90s.



And Space Above and Beyond. It was space marines working together to fight aliens. The slur for the aliens was "Chiggers", which made me laugh then, and still does. .



Also, the Zorro TV series was great, but it got cancelled in its 4th season.

This show was great and truly went out with a bang once they knew it wasn't going to be renewed.

Mission Hill was pretty good.

I thought the dude on the right was Gene Hackman.

It's kind of hard to believe that Get A Life actually aired on network TV, in prime time, on Sunday nights no less. And it just kept getting progressively weirder as it went along.

I know it’s not a TV show but I highly recommend Foot Fist Way if you’re a fan of Danny McBride.

Fox was a fledgling network and they took a lot of chances the 3 big networks were not willing to take. Some people forget how groundbreaking Married with Children was for its time. NBC, CBS, and ABC didn't give it a second look.

Shoestring

Get a Life is a good call. Highly underrated.

I thought Eerie, Indiana was good when I was a kid but I’m sure it sucks now.


NewsRadio and Drew Carey aren’t really obscure but both are good. Same with Due South and Northern Exposure.

There was also a Sinbad show that was tied into the Xena/Hercules universe.
