Underrated/Lesser Known TV Series

[madcap2112]

Well if you are not British you probably havent heard of

1. Spaced
2. Black Books
3. Peep Show
4. Life On Mars

Life On Mars and Peep Show both have american versions however i advise you to watch the British versions as they are far better.

I'm not British, but I love Spaced and Life on Mars. Haven't heard of the other two, though. To continue the British trend, I'll say "Are You Being Served?", the '70s department store sitcom.

If you like spaced you will probably like Black Books and Peep Show similar sorta style + the Spaced actors make a few cameos in Black Books

Cool. I'm curious to know how you feel about Ashes to Ashes, if you've seen it. I personally don't like it as much as Life on Mars, but it's not bad.

Well i wasnt as keen on it to be honest the main Character was no comparison to the life on mars guy + the backingtrack was not half as good, though it was quite funny in somepoints and Gene hunt is pretty badass

plus if you ever get round to checking out Black Books or Peep Show tell me what you think

Ooh, I see Bill Bailey's in it; I'll have to watch it now.

Arrested Development!

 

[stickywater]

BattleBots was really cool. Id still watch it if a TV network would pick it back up...

Not sure if it aired in any other country but America but google battlebots anyway, its awsome!

 

[EvilMuffin094]

Even though it got canceled, i thought Mission Hill was an extremely underrated show. I do miss it though...

 

[Vern]

Upright Citizens Brigade, Wondershowzen and Mr. Show.

 

[Margrave Rinstock]

In My opinion, It is sheer Blasphemy that Most People Don't Know about Babylon 5.
The best Plot and Characters of any Tv Series that I have ever seen, More Like a Good Novel, really.

Non of my friends have heard of Invader Zim, which angers me.

Wow, Invader Zim has it's own little cult over here.

And I would have to say Dokuro-chan...don't know how many people have seen this anime, but it's hilarious...I wish that there were more episodes...

I also believe that True Blood doesn't get enough love cause I've heard many people relate it to Twilight. Watch one episode of True Blood and you will say that there is nothing Twilight about it...also read the books.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Code Monkeys. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

Yes, it does. And that is one of my favorite parts of the Escapist.

Lol, I have a friend who has memorized almost everything that Gir has said, she often quotes him at random.

I agree...sadly, I stopped watching TV.

I'd do that, but my friends would just sit there with a dumb look on there face. I even have a shirt with him on it.


"WAFFLES"

We just laugh at her, cause we know what she's talking about, then we start to spout off our own quotes...cause we're cool like that. Oh, she would kill you for that shirt, I bought her a plushie last time I went to Chicago and she knocked my ass over.

 

[Lady K]

Dead Like Me and Burn Notice are two of my favorites, but I really don't watch that much TV anyway.

 

[Wildrow12]

Captain Scarlet.

Here's the premise: A puppet show about a secret agent fighting an alien race that can destroy and rebuild evil duplicates of ANYTHING....who dies violently pretty much on a daily basis, but is basically like Deadpool, and can rebuild himself in a matter of seconds.

On that same note....

STARFLEET (aka X-BOMBER)!

Coupling and Mr. Show. Man, those were funny. I'm glad at least one person each liked those shows.

I'd kill to have her as a friend.

But she's the one and only Hayley-chan...also you'd have to have a high tolerance for fangirling over Kyouya from Ouran...thankfully I have this tolerance and I also fangirl with her.

3 of them

Scrubs. everybody who watchedone or two episodes says the same thing. they say that there was nothing wrong with it and it was funny, i just dont watch it. if everybody watched a few episodes, it would have much better ratings.

the second is The Drew Carey Show. it doesnt have new episodes but it is very funny. 9 seasons. good run.

the third is Whose Line is it Anyway?. that show went through 10 seasons in england, and i believe 7 seasons in america. ABC Family shows it less and less now but i still think it deserves weekdays at 9 or something.
