cult and obscure tv
 
we all know about cult tv like the prisoner and the avengers
dose any one remember rent a ghost
;)
do you know any other obscure tv programs
like gilligan island never seen it on uk tv
so all the jokes are wasted on the uk

There's "Are you Being Served", "Cracker", "Red Planet" and "Faulty Towers" that I understand are big hits in the UK, but only seen on PBS over here "across the puddle"

didnt thay do a us cracker?

Murphy - we used to get Red Planet on tv here. It was great. Another good Brit one is Keeping Up Appearances.

However, there's a soapie over here called Neighbours, which has a huge following. The Brits get it as well and I believe it's big there too.

I am a 'Fawlty Towers' fan John Cleese is so funny.

Another british comedy that has a huge following was 'Are you being Served'

and of course the science fiction series 'Dr Who'

American ones that have a huge cult following are 'Star Trek'
and 'The Adams Family'

My heart belongs to the original Batman. That's good TV, same bat-time, same bat-channel. Although I wasn't even a glimmer in my father's eye when that came out...

Did anybody ever watch "The Invisible Man" when it was on Sci Fi channel here in the states?

GermanSteve 05-31-2002 04:07 AM

I know something like "the invisible man" and I loved it. Was it a scientist becoming invisible by an accident, always painting his face or using a mask for being visible and solving difficult cases?
Another one that I loved was "The Munsters". and "Jeanie" (that one with Larry Hagman). And "My Uncle from Mars" (was that with Bill Bixbie?)
