Favorite Little Known or Unusual Show?

callmefangirl · 01-25-2005, 04:23 PM

I was wondering what everyones favorite obscure or odd show was?We all talk about Desperate Housewives,Everwood,etc. but what shows do you love but never realy get a chance to discuss?
My favorite little known shows were Our Hero and Being Eve.Our Hero is a Canadian show that was cancelled after two seasons.It was on WAM here in the states and I just loved it!It was so much more daring than teen shows in the states and it was so funny.In one episode Kale pretends to have salad phobia and stomps on everyones salads in the cafeteria so she can go talk to this guy in a psychiatric ward.Great stuff.
Being Eve was an Australian show that used to be on the-n.It never took off like DTNG,but it was awesome.It too was very funny and Fleur Saville(Eve) is very talented.
As for odd shows I've recently become obsessed with Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on Cartoon Network.I watched an episode with my niece and fell in love with it.It has now become appointment t.v.

I am a fan of Unsolved Mysteries, a show that was on long ago, but is now on DVD yay and I am huge BritCom fan especially the Office and Are You Being Served. Some of the best shows are from other countries. I also like Ballykissangel from Ireland and I like this show called Monarch of the Glen, it's either British or Scottish, I know it's set in Scotland.

I love Britcoms to.My favorite is Fawlty Towers,I've got most of the episodes memorized.I haven't seen much of the Office but I hear it's supposed to be great.

CityGirl · 01-27-2005, 06:09 PM

It is great, but it only ran for two seasons and the special that wrapped everything up. I love David Brent, but if I had to work for him I'd kill myself LOL Plus I read they're making an American version for this upcoming TV season, I hope they don't ruin it. They tried to Americanize coupling and it didn't work

I like the show Dog the Bounty Hunter.

^^^ Ghostwriter was my fav show as a kid!!

I love Ready Or Not. But my fav unknown show was NBC's Titans from 2000. It only lasted 11 episodes.

FaithGirl16 · 01-31-2005, 12:58 AM

Ghostwriter, Errie Indinana, and Strange Days at Blake Holsey High. I also *kind of embarrassing* got into Endurance: Hawaii...I want the Yellow team to win cause they are the underdogs!

oc_craze · 01-31-2005, 01:00 PM

I don't know if this counts as an odd show but I watch Coronation street and Emmrdale.

andyninadestiny · 02-01-2005, 09:03 PM

FaithGirl16- I'm DYING for the yellow team to win. My sis and I have been pulling for Monroe since the audition episodes!! I love Discovery Kids and The-N. I also love this icon in your sig. I'm a HUGE Marco/Dylan fan. I've been watching the-n since it first became a channel, so I was WAY into Ghostwriter. Were you into the older ones or the newer ones (personally, I thought the new one sucked).

I love Northern Exposure as well it makes me laugh. I have both seasons 1 & 2 on DVD. I love the opening credits with the moose

andyninadestiny · 02-02-2005, 03:30 PM

^^^The moose rules^^^
My dad had been telling me about the show, and how I would love the type of humor. I TIVO it practically everyday now. All hail the moose

Northern Exposure is one of my all time faves.I spent so many years shipping Joel/Maggie.Definately one of the funniest shows ever.I miss watching it,I've got to invest in the box sets.

CityGirl · 02-05-2005, 03:16 PM

The box sets are so expensive. I paid forty for one that only had seven eps on it.

I was so mad on Endurance today...the Yellow team lost and had to go home.

Now I hope the Gray team wins cause I really don't think the Orange team deserves to win. I like Damien, but Nicole is so conceited.

And yeah, I totally loved Monroe...he was the best!

And I was definitely into the older Ghostwriter. I didn't like the new Ghostwriter either. But I saw the show when it was like, on PBS or something.
