I remember "Townies". Bill Burr was in it or when he did the show he went by Billy. Seen the show herer on TH-cam. Its fun to see some of these actors before they had hit roles or during their prime.
This just reminded me that it's time to bring back Tales from the Crypt. Reboots and legacy sequels are everywhere now and nothing is easier to reboot (in concept, at least) than an anthology series. Let's get some shovels and dig up the Cryptkeeper.
Dark Skies was to The X-Files what Webster was to Diff'rent Strokes. I saw ONE episode of Meego and I thought Bronson Pinchot was playing a mix of Mr. Belvedere and Third Rock from the Sun. Weird fact... the BBC considered suing UPN, since several of the writers on Homeboys In Outer Space were in the writer's room for the failed the Red Dwarf U.S.A. pilot. Laqueita bore a bit too many similarities to Holly and Android was basically Kryten.
I never watched any of these shows, but I heared about the shows "Roar," "Homeboys in outerspace," Dark Skies,"and "Lost on Earth," Which I remember the last of those because it was played with the show "Claude's crib", which I'm honestly very surprised was not mentioned on this show.
Vivica A. Fox is pure class and has one of the most irresistible chemistries I've ever seen in my life. It's so baffling she never became the biggest star back in the day, she just made so many bad decisions in the roles she took. Maybe she had a really awful agent.
lol, I didn't realize Kerri Russell was in so many different shows before hitting it off in Felicity. Odd that when she played the attractive character (obvious) the show failed, but the one time she played the "nerd" in Felicity , the show took off. All part of the 90s trend of lazily trying to make attractive women look "nerdy" then the hot guy realizes what a babe she really was!
Me neither, and 1997 is a year that I remember very fondly. Only heard of "Homeboys in Outer Space" in passing and knew that Arsenio Hall had a talk show for a spell (as did Chevy Chase). edit: scratch that, it was an Arsenio sitcom. So no, zero recollection.
Mentioning May 19th for when The Cape aired it's last episode, and the wrestling fan in me laughed. If you don't get it, look up May 19th Kane, and you'll understand. 😉😂🤣 As for these shows, The Burning Zone, found 3 of them on Internet Archives, and everything else, between TH-cam, Internet Archives, and in the case for Dark Skies, not so legal streaming services, was able to find them, which is good, as some of these has me curious, but never seen any of them. However, 1997, I wasn't even a year old yet. Yeah, we reached the year I was born. Anyways, thank you, enjoyed the video.
My parents would never pay for movie channels, so I never saw Perversions of Science. I remember liking Dark Skies and The Burning Zone. I don't remember watching Townies, Lost on Earth, The Cape, Roar, or Meego.
I remember watching Dark Skies and Homeboys in Outer Space when they were on, originally. Perversions of Science I caught later, when I saw it was a slightly more softcore version of Welcome to Paradox.
I had no idea Ron Johnson from a Different World went on to star in Homeboys from Outerspace - what a funky show . Gotta hand it to the 90s, they took risks
A few shows that absolutely tore my heart out when they were canceled were Farscape(even though they actually came back and made a movie to wrap things up for us fans),Carnival on HBO.That show was soo good.I don’t know how people were not tunning in.American Gothic def shouldn’t have been canceled.Herman’s head was an outstanding show as well.Then there was that 70’s show but now looking back at what Topher was being put through by a bunch of sick Pedo monsters.I def can’t say I blame him at all..
Just an opinion but I think you need to talk just a bit faster and not sound so robotic. I think you'll find you get more views and people will watch from beginning to end.
My opinion is you aren't robotic, not monotone or dull, drowning, low emotion, and you speak at a rate that is normal human. Stay with what you are doing. There are other channels that are WAY MORE robotic.
You can increase the playback speed in settings...try it at 1.25 maybe that will make it easier for ya (I personally keep it at 1.25 only lower in certain cases)
Do you remember watching any of these?
I loved Perversions of Science
A TV show I hear nobody talk about is Early Edition, the one where the guy gets the newspaper ahead of time so he can help prevent major incidents.
That was a good premise
It had some seasons 🎉 even there was a two part episode tittled Fatal Edition where Gary is framed with a murder 😮
I remember "Townies". Bill Burr was in it or when he did the show he went by Billy. Seen the show herer on TH-cam. Its fun to see some of these actors before they had hit roles or during their prime.
I was in high school in 1997
I graduated that year.
Me in Junior High the worst years because I was bullyied back then 😮

Flops of the 90s series = Tops of my tops!

Thanks for sharing
I like the idea of Dark Skies, pretty ambitious to have this multi decade sci-fi plot, clearly it didn't pan out though sadly
It could've been big if done right
I never watched any of these shows, but I heared about the shows "Roar," "Homeboys in outerspace," Dark Skies,"and "Lost on Earth," Which I remember the last of those because it was played with the show "Claude's crib", which I'm honestly very surprised was not mentioned on this show.
I've honestly not heard of that show. Thanks
I take it Sleepwalkers is going to appear in a future video?
You got it
Vivica A. Fox is pure class and has one of the most irresistible chemistries I've ever seen in my life. It's so baffling she never became the biggest star back in the day, she just made so many bad decisions in the roles she took. Maybe she had a really awful agent.
I can definitely agree with all that. Now i'm curious I might dive into that agent theory.

That robot creeps me out. 😅
Honestly the cape sounds like a show that would work today but only if it got shonda-fied
I watched several of these but particularly loved ROAR.
Great video! Keep up the good work!
I don't remember any of these, lol.

Dark skies scared the crap out of me as a kid in an existential dread kind of way.
Wow, I very, very vaguely remember Homeboys From Outer Space. It's hard to forget a title like that!
I wonder if that series the cape , used the same soundstage as Kubrick did where he filmed the moon landing in 1969. That be a neat Easter egg
That's a great question
My parents would never pay for movie channels, so I never saw Perversions of Science. I remember liking Dark Skies and The Burning Zone. I don't remember watching Townies, Lost on Earth, The Cape, Roar, or Meego.

Dark Skies left a lasting impact for me. I'm writing a novel and the MC is named Loenguard, in honor of John Lonegard from the show
I had no idea Ron Johnson from a Different World went on to star in Homeboys from Outerspace - what a funky show . Gotta hand it to the 90s, they took risks
Perversions of Science should never been canceled in the first place. 😀👍
I remember Lost on Earth and it should never been canceled in the first place. 😀👍
the third kid on Meego was Erik Von Detten. He was a big teen heart throb at the time.
I remember Homeboys from Outer Space! I loved that show!
Roar! :D I remember that show! I was indeed sad when it ended. I had no idea Heath Ledger was in it!
High quality episodes on TH-cam
I never watched any of these shows. In fact, the only ones I’ve heard of were Dark Skies and Homeboys in Outer Space.
Meego looks like a Mork & Mindy clone ! Poor guy kept trying to recreate that perfect strangers magic
Townies seems like it was ahead of its time. Probably would've been a success in the late 2000s
I like Homeboys in Outer Space and it should never been canceled in the first place. 😀👍👽
very funny show
@@TheReviewStudios I agree. 😀👍👽
There are dozens of us!
Seriously tho, I didn't think anyone else remembered that show but me
Where is Gary Sinise??? Was showed in the miniature 😅

I loved Roar...

I don't get that feeling. Your comment on the other hand...
My opinion is you aren't robotic, not monotone or dull, drowning, low emotion, and you speak at a rate that is normal human. Stay with what you are doing. There are other channels that are WAY MORE robotic.
Don’t listen to this you have a good voice for a narrator
