  • Television shows from the 80s and 90s gave us some rather unforgettable science fiction and horror classics! Not only were these shows profoundly loved, but they also proved that one didn’t really require whopping budgets to come up with gripping, stimulating stories. In fact, all that was needed was an engrossing premise and some solid writing. But sadly, for the shows that we are going to talk about in detail in this video, despite having a unique storyline and impeccable cast, they didn’t get a second chance. So, gear yourselves up for today’s video, where we will talk about 14 forgotten science fiction and horror television shows from the 80s and 90s that unquestionably deserved a reboot!

      Freddy's Nightmares was da bomb. Oh, that reminds me of another gem. It's fantasy/supernatural, although not horror per se and definitely not sci-fi. It also starred Robert Englund. This was shortly after end of Freddy's Nightmares. The show was called Nightmare Cafe. Good show. ✔ it out.

      @@18cheyenneraine I remembered I tried watching an episode of Warehouse 13 years ago. Never grabbed me. I loved Friday the 13th - The Series. It will always have special place in my heart. I watched it as a teenager. Louise Robey (Micki Foster) was my teenage crush... I just wish the show had used it's original name, "The 13th Hour". Instead the name was shamelessly changed to capitalize on the unrelated slasher movie series, name recognition and all that... Also, I wish they gave the show a 4th season. They already had 3 full seasons. May as well make it 4 to get the magic 100 episodes for syndication.

    Disappointed that some forgotten gems like Otherworld, Street Hawk, Highwayman, Friday the 13th - The Series, Night Visions, Sleepwalkers, Total Recall 2070, and Timecop (TV series) were also not on the list. I do give them major props though for mentioning Monsters and Ghost Stories. I loved those shows, but you almost never hear anything about them. There's also a UK show I recommend, Space Precinct.

      @@phenrilwolf I liked Viper too. It could be viewed as a minor success. It ran for 4 seasons, 3 in syndication after it was cancelled by NBC the first season. To me, Viper was way cooler than the better known Knight Rider. 4th season was the best, with the return of James McCaffrey as the lead and a cool new opening theme. Superforce was so hokey and cheap looking, like a throwback to 70's sci-fi TV, but it was fun. It was nowhere as cool as Street Hawk. I used to watch Superforce along with Lightning Force (from Canada) here in NYC. Hitchhiker ran for 4 seasons so it was a minor hit too. I remember watching reruns of it in the 90's. I could never get into it. I think some of the episodes were filmed in France. I also gave Poltergeist: The Legacy a try...not my cup of tea either. But it was at least loosely connected to the movie series, (unlike Friday the 13th - The Series). I remember watching Voyagers as a little kid. Thought it was just OK. I remember Voyager's Jon Erik Hexum later starred in the spy show, Cover Up. He accidently killed himself while fooling around with a prop gun. As for Time Trax...I watched it in the early 90's. It was alright. If my memory serves me correctly, the hero had a strange way of holding a gun, like turned horizontally to its side (popularized in gangsta rapper poses). I remember the AI holographic female with English accent. Kinda like Gideon on DC'S Legends of Tomorrow. Whatta trip down memory lane!

    Captain Power actually was the first interactive TV show. Viewers were encouraged to buy the toys like the Powerjet XT 7. Doing so the battery-powered toy could register a hit or miss reacting to particular flashing targets and shots from the bad guys. The show was an after-school show. If someone desired to they could probably get hold of a working toy and a collection of episodes.

    The Monsters writers guide suggested that there be limited of no outdoor scenes. Ideally they wanted one indoor set location and a very small cast of characters to keep the budget down. The writers sure managed to come up with some creative stories, and sometimes they did go on location outside too.

    Man I loved Sea Quest DSV, it was amazing, the first season was breath-taking, the second was good but lacked the heart of the first and the third was a disaster. I loved Manimal as a kid and always felt it deserved more than one season, it was a show that had real imagination, shows like these just aren't made anymore, such a shame.

    Does anyone remember that show The Hitchhiker? I think it is truly a forgotten show because no one ever mentions it. And it was on a long time; 1983 to 1991. The one I remember most is the episode O.D. Feelin, about a bag of cursed cocaine. It had Sandra Bernhard and Gene Simmons. I always thought Adam Ant was is this episode too, but I got that confused with an episode of Tales From The Crypt.

    Except The Stand of course, but that was a mini series, not a normal series like the others! Also they were roomers that they were making a remake of The Stand of recent, like since last year and into this year! I wonder what happened to that or if they're still working on it or it came out and I just missed it somehow!

    The main thing for Captain Power was that the show was interactive with the toy line of the same name... you could actually shoot at the CGI robots and get points on the start fighter toy and the TV would shoot back.. basically using light reflection.. if the TV light hit you you was marked down a point.. after several hits it would eject the action figure from the cockpit.....you could achieve this same effect shooting at a mirror
