Currently binge watching Monsters, The Hitchhiker, Tales from the Crypt, Are You Afraid of the Dark, and the 80s Alfred Hitchcock reboot and it has me missing anthology series. Saw a lot in the 80s/90s. Anyone have a favorite?
If I had to pick just one I guess mine would be the original TZ but I have a soft spot for the 80s version. One Step Beyond is an old but good one. Nightmare Cafe was a good but very short lived series.
Outer Limits in the 90's, I love that show.
I enjoy it as well. Although sometimes I have trouble with the super progressive themes.
Yeah, I went through it a couple years ago and it had the usual ham fisted "men bad, white man bad, racism bad, humans bad" stuff that you'd expect from progressives. I'd estimate maybe 10-20% of the episodes ran along those lines.
The rest was fairly entertaining as far as low budget sci fi goes.
Plus it regularly had boobies in them
I saw The Deprogrammers when I was a kid, and I always think of it whenever I think of mainstream "anti-establishment" media figures like Jon Stewart.
I suppose even Brent Spiner himself to an extent, considering how diametrically opposed the cast of TNG now acts toward the supposed "timeless" values they espoused at the time.
A story/premise deserving of a much better budget.
Haven’t watched in a long time. I see it’s free on YouTube so will add to my binge list. I enjoyed it too
It's free for a reason, in that it's nigh unwatchable. 🤣
I quite liked every episode with Nicholas Prentice (played by Alex Diakun and somehow made to look like an uncanny lizard-man), a time traveler who (among other things) showed up at the assassination of Obama, in an episode aired fifteen years before Obama was elected.
The bugs episode was awesome.
It started to all congeal together a few seasons in and I got tired.
Do you mean The Sandkings?
Yes, that's the one. It's been a long time since I've seen anything.
It only came out in the mid 90s, what 30 years ago? Fuck I'm old, I don't think of the 90s as 30 years ago
