Sword of Justice was a short-lived American show that was a hit in the UK when I was a kid.
It was kind of a modern take on The Count of Monte Cristo.

Journeyman was about a man who couldn't stop time-travelling (I feel the novel The Time-Traveller's Wife was something of an influence) starring Kevin McKidd and Moon Bloodgood.
It got cancelled after 1 season. I enjoyed it, but it doesn't seem to be available to stream any more.
Yeah I remember this as a kid and LOVED it...Now, not so much...
^^ Now I want to see Scarlet Cyclone retconned into the Golden Age DCU. (and obvious precursor to Red Tornado)
Ran across this on accident, looking for cartoon characters to use in a team build…:
Never heard of it, but seems like cheesy fun!
While Tokyo Movie Shinsha, which produces a fair amount of anime (A lot of it is Lupin III/Detective Conan these days though, and they're part of SEGA now) did a few American co-productions as well as co-animating a large number of Saturday morning cartoons.
Some of the more distinctive examples are Galaxy High, which was intended to be an inverse of Uresei Yatsura/Lum (and also the bikini stuff toned down, naturally).
and Bionic Six. The latter had sort of the anime style that was popular in the 80s that was a bit less "big eyed" that mostly appeared in OAVs and films I think, including a few Gundam and Macross productions.
Although Rankin-Bass's Thundercats and Silverhawks were pretty popular, they had a third, more obscure cousin called Tigersharks.

Oh -- I haven't thought of that show since it was cancelled. One of those "world-building mystery" shows that made it on air in the wake of "Lost." I enjoyed it and was disapppointed it got canned.
Similarly, I was also into "The Nine" about the surviving hostages of a bank robbery where we only see the events of the robbery in a growing puzzle of flashback snippets as the titular nine deal with the emotional fallout of their experience. That didn't last either.
