One great thing about YouTube is that it has a lot of full runs of short lived shows and I found that it had Nightmare Cafe which only lasted like 6 episodes and debuted in 92. Kind of an anthology series where two deceased people in a diner helped recently departed souls. Loved it as an 11 year old and added it to my list to rewatch. I also liked the concept of Terra Nova (future humans moving back to the Jurassic Era due to pollution) but I think it could be better told in a book form. No Ordinary Family was another along with M.A.N.T.I.S and The Police Academy tv series (yes I’m an unashamed fan of those movies). I guess I’ll throw in the 02 Twilight Zone. Was better than the garbage that Peele did.

Yeah, same here. Someone definitely fucked up. It was a really unique concept and didn’t require any expensive special effects or locations - can’t have been too expensive to make.
SyFy Channel was a commercialized trash heap that pandered to the beer guzzling wrestling crowd while injecting woke-slop into every science fiction show it made. 'Progress' and 'future world building' was just a pretext for them to create a world where woke-slop was the norm.
Even back then there was a scene in Ascension that surprised me where this reporter who was a lesbian asked the head of the group a why he excluded gays and he said if they are trying to start a colony they can’t have people who choose not to reproduce. In 2014 I was surprised to see that even though it makes sense.
Rofl, weird scene.
