Short lived TV shows nobody remembers (except you)

Another huge part of my Sunday morning viewing was Ultraforce, based on the Malibu line of heroes:



Looking back on it now, wow the entire series was a mish-mash of the X-Men (some of the voices from the X-Men cast were used) and the Mortal Kombat theme song.

I absolutely loved this show and to this day yell out the occasional ULTRAFORCE!!

First they fight each other, then they team up to fight the real enemy.

Which turns out to be one of them all along.

Running The Halls

One of the teen Saturday morning TNBC shows about 7 teens attending a boarding school called Middlefield Academy.

It was a cute, fast-paced show that was a little different than the other Saved By The Bell / California Dreams series around in 1993. It lasted one season but was a favorite of mine.

All things considered it's a shame we're not getting another season of Inhumans.

Ōban Star-Racers
(2006)

Second season killed it. She out of nowhere loses half the races after winning them last season to top it off doesn't even get the big thing at the end. A side character swipes it. Thanks for wasting my time.

First season was great but season 2 stunk with a let down ending.

monster force - a group of teenagers fighting legions of the night like a animated monster squad but only lasted 13 episodes.

Might have lasted longer if they called it monster squad as it's a follow up to the movie. (complete with the monsters coming out of the void from the end of the movie in the intro.)

Also no scorch? Rip-off of alf that lasted only a few episodes.

I mentioned Scorch. I watched the series albeit, not a very long one.

Space Rangers. 6 episodes of a motley crew who get sent out to rescue colonists from monsters, track down pirates, etc... Hans Zimmer did the score.

Raven. I don't entirely remember the premise, but it was about a guy who did martial arts and he fought bad guys for some reason.

Street Justice. Carl Weathers and a white guy were buddy cops...private eyes, vigilantes? I don't quite remember. The main thing I remember is an ep where the white guy had to fight in underground death matches, and his opponent at the end says "It (breaking your neck" only hurts for a second!" And he replies, "Not the way I do it." I thought that was the most badass thing I'd ever heard when I was a kid.

Completely agree. They really had some good stories in STAS and CGI would allow them to be done in live action now

I think they should just redo the existing shows with new animation. Even the the era, what I've seen of it looks cheap and crappy. Colors are inconsistent, animation cycles blatantly reused, random extreme close-ups. But you've got the actual cast doing the voices!

[Gray Lensman]

Captain Simian and the Spaaaaaaace Monkeys. (yes, they always say it like that in the show)

[Dr. Skeleton]

Out Of This World and My Secret Identity.

[From The Shadows]

The Charmings.
