What are the best TV shows that nobody watches? What are some shows you love and adore that you have a hard time finding anyone to talk about with?

Veronica Mars is one of my favorite shows on tv, but it has always gotten pretty lousy ratings. At least I managed to talk Sarah into watching it.

Undeclared was even shorter lived then Freaks and Geeks, but in my opinion, it's every bit as great. I don't know anyone who's watched this that didn't watch it with me, though.

I think we need 2 official discussion threads on both the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. That's just me though. *nods*

The old NBC show "Ed" was really great until it got ruined by constant time slot moves and too much relationship drama when it was originally a pretty wacky comedy. I've never really come across anyone else that ever watched it.

Arrested Development

Uh, Bowling alley lawyer?

I think I watched it.

My friend Adam was sending me episodes of that till we stopped with the talking. I've seen the first 3 episodes, and am not having luck finding a healthy torrent for the rest.

There are some pretty neat people on it!

10th Kingdom - fairy tale with a modern twist and lovable characters like Wolf. :D

Boston Legal. Every time I watch that show I laugh uncontrollably.

Wasn't that a made for tv miniseries?

Hey Ndikip, when are you going to evolve? You need to learn better moves.

I'd say "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" Because they purposely pick idiots to make the kids look good.

:D A sequel was to be made but the ratings didn't do too well to support it. :(

Just to add in my 2 pence-pieces. I know it's no longer being made but Spaced (http://www.alluc.org/alluc/tv-shows.html?action=getviewcategory&category_uid=1326) is definitely one of the most magnificant shows ever created and should be watched by everyone at least once. It's brilliant. Very few TV shows come close to the quality of genius that Spaced has.

Arrested Development

That's insanely popular and praised though, as far as I know

Also, yeah, Ed was the bowling alley lawyer show

If you read the tiny print stuff at the end of the episodes, they give the kids study books on the questions asked before the show. :(

Praised? yes.

Popular? not around where I live or enough to not get it canceled.

It probably does of course have a bigger following on the internet than anywhere else and has done better in dvd sales than it ever did on tv.

The creator of the show is happy with how it ended though apparently, despite the cancellation.

I love the show, just to say, one of my favorites. I just never really got the feeling that it was widely disliked/unnoticed but I suppose you're right.

It was drastically changed in the last seven or so episodes though to accommodate the ending and it kind of shows. I don't really mind the ending I liked those episodes but I would have liked to seen it continue a little longer. The last episode did leave the option for the movie open but that could just as easily been a joke.

Another show that was cancelled midway through its first season. "Firefly". The last ..what..four episodes never got aired. It should've gotten more attention than it did.

It did! The fans made so much noise till Whedon was able to convince the producers to make the movie Serenity.

( Although it should have been a Buffy movie :( )

OMG, a TV show by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright?

OMGWTFBBQ how did I not know about this

When Veronica Mars was first brought over here the station that aired it hyped it like it had gotten personal approval from Jesus or something

Nowadays it is shoved to Fridays after the Friday movie at some point between 11 to 12 with absolutely no advertising at all. And I can't find the DVDs anywhere around here!

Someone is trying to keep me + Veronica apart

Spaced is really hilarious, should definitely check it out. Also there's only a handful of episodes so it won't take large chunks of your life to enjoy the whole thing.

Boston Legal.

Best. Show. Ever.

It's weird, it's an awesome show but i don't know anyone who watches it.

*Proud owner of season 1 and 2*

Not enough people watch Smallville.

I watched the first couple episodes of Smallville, because I think Kristen Kreuk is adorable, but it seemed so repetitive.

nuh-uh I have to say this is their best season almost soap opera like. Plus know Clarks playing the jealous knight. Really regretting his decision, and he can't decide whether to go with his heart or his head.

almost soap opera like.

Precisely the reason why Smallville is crap, now. Where the early seasons where a very good "This is the young Clark Kent! Watch as he and his friends solve mysteries, he discovers his powers, and tries to keep them secret!"

It was very entertaining, and a good addition to the Superman mythos. Not to mention that Michael Rosenbaum was the best Lex Luthor, ever.

Now, the series is crap. They're recycling the Clark/Lana/Lex love triange over and over again, and even the 'super-hero' parts aren't as often, or good, as they used to be. Introducing the Green Arrow was a nice touch, but the 'costume' was a joke; since it seems that he'll be playing a big part, I hope they don't screw up the Martian Manhunter.

I keep getting the feeling that he'll be joining up with the justice league. Plus I mean if they don't stretch out the plot with love triangles it won't be a long series. But you're right his powers are really fading from the story, except for the occasional dash away from chloe.

I will totally watch Smallville if the Martian Manhunter is on it.

I'm bumping this because We need to increase the awareness of the The Boondocks (http://www.adultswim.com/shows/boondocks/).

The Boondocks = gross.

I dont know how popular this show is outside my group of friends, but Im assuming very popular. MXC. One of the greatest things on tv, although the newer ones seem to be losing it.

I'm having trouble understanding MXC is what? And do you're frinds like/dislike it and why?

Mother fucking DRIVE.

Drive that new fox show? I've seen the commercial the story seems weak, and I doubt there is an actual plot. Drive fast get money, oh fun times.

There is more to it than that, but Fox sucks at running proper ads for the good shows.

Remember how it advertised Firefly? It's making the same fucking mistakes with this show.

MXC = most extreme elimination challenge

It did! The fans made so much noise till Whedon was able to convince the producers to make the movie Serenity.

( Although it should have been a Buffy movie :( )

No Buffy movie. The Serenity movie was great in my opinion. And they still have comics coming to tell the untold story written by Joss himself.

Another show I think was good (and still has a chance to keep going) is 'The Collector". I'm not too sure if many people watch that one.

Oh and Drive would have got more attention if FOX wasn't retarded and pulled it after two weeks, during exam season AND during TURN OFF YOUR TV WEEK.

Angel...hands down. RESURRECT ANGEL!!!! RESURRECT ANGEL!!!!

I would love to see a return of Angel If they him a less boring character. That whole resurrecting Spike thing is a desperate move to save the series but it's too little too late. :(

Also, download ur Angel soundtrack here: Thread 39501 :p

I think Angel>Buffy that is if your talking about the voice of Leon in KH, but if you're talking about, dark angel with that girl then heck no. Angel was a breath of fresh air, for likethe first 4 seasons, but like most shows got repetitive, I still enjoy the reruns.

i kind of saw some of them vaguely, but i was all like. this is stupid. wasn't superman born in like (1950 est.) so why is there imacs and shit.

I saw a later series episode recently, where the girls or something get raped by magic, and magic jsut don't go.

I hated firefly, cowboys are as dead as dead. They'll never have cowboys in space. Makes me think brokebackspacestation.

Dark angel was a good little scifi that came out of fox. The entire gentically engineered foxy bitch really did it for me. Having her kick badguy ass every week was a stroke of genius.

Ah yeah!

I'm not sure I buy how genetically eningeered foxy bitches that always win are anymore acceptable than space cowboys.

Angel was a really good show to watch, I used enjoy watching it in the mornings before I went to school. xD It definately was way better than Buffy.


And I remember Freaks and Geeks! It was short-lived, but very funny.

There's a show that's been airing on CBS recently called Harper's Island which is pretty decent. It's a murder mystery type show about a girl named Abby Mills who returns to Harper's Island for the wedding celebration of her best friend, Henry Dunn, and his bride-to-be, Trish Wellington. Abby hasn't been home in seven years, since her mother and five others were murdered by John Wakefield. It's been getting really terrible ratings mainly because CBS keeps bumping its time slot. It's always shown real late like around 9 or 10pm (depending on if you cable or satellite) but it was first on Thursdays then it was bumped to Saturdays.

Check out the pilot here (http://www.imdb.com/video/cbs/vi2723939097/).

Dollhouse

Boston Legal.

Best. Show. Ever.

It's weird, it's an awesome show but i don't know anyone who watches it.

*Proud owner of season 1 and 2*

DENNY CRAIN

Dollhouse and Samantha Who

It's too late for this one show because it was already canceled, but I thought I would mention it anyway.

It was called Reunion, and it was aired on Fox about 2 or so years ago. Story was about a bunch of teenagers coming out of high school, and each episode showed what happened to them every year. One of their own had died halfway through, and each episode was supposed to bring us one step closer to her killer...

Didn't last. Fox canceled it mid-season. Didn't even get a shot.

Californication

Wrong Door is pretty funny as well as Z-Rock (the latter of which is on IFC)

Extras! With Ricky Gervais XD I have yet to get the DVDs and see the full episodes, but the clips I have seen with the guest stars on each episode are GENIUS!

EDIT: Legend of The Seeker! Sure, it's based on the book, but there doesn't seem to be that many fans... it's produced and created Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi. It's awesome!

Dead Like Me.

Black comedy is pure win. Dark humor is my kind.

Johnny Bravo

Eureka and Warehouse 13. Warehouse 13 is a pretty nifty show.

The Secret Saturdays. If CN could stop churning the crap for one minute.

Top Gear

Eureka gets a pretty good viewing audience for the network and time slot, but it definitely needs more mainstream viewers. It's one of my absolute favorite shows, but it's not very well known. I was not chuffed when Nathan Stark left the show.

Doctor Who. This has been my favorite show since I was 12 or 15. It is absolutely massive in the UK right now, and I hear it was pretty popular in Japan when it launched back in 2005, but it's always been a niche show here in America, and the success of the revived series didn't help it much. I do know people that watch now who didn't watch the 1963-1989 version of the show, but it's by no means mainstream here.

Pushing Daisies. A spiritual followup to Dead Like Me. Critically praised, but ignored by the viewing audience. What a lovely, lovely show. Died well before its time.

I watch Dr. Who Too.

Gargoyles. So far disney has only released the first half of the series and has no plans to release the rest of it.
