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.

seaQuest DSV/2032. Cancelled in the middle of season 3 on a cliffhanger. Basically 90s Star Trek but with submarines in the oceans instead of space. Campy and silly most of the time, but it has a decent cast and some pretty cool episodes, and it was dope as fuck when I was 12.
Also, Jericho, about a small town forced to basically figure out how to live entirely on their own after a series of nuclear bombs go off in big cities in the United States which collapses the entire government and fractures the country. A lot of cool story lines about finding clean water, growing food, fighting off a Blackwater-esque PMC turned bandit group, etc. Also cancelled in the middle of a season on a cliffhanger.
seaQuest was a really promising first season but S2 turned into into generic space sci-fi but with blue space. IIRC, it's why Roy Scheider quit the series. It wasn't what they sold him on. I still enjoyed it at the time for what it was, but there's a timeline where it actually went somewhere great.
Agreed, but I think by season 3 they had switched over to something else that was at least enjoyable for different reasons. Adding in Michael Ironside, the time jump, the new plotlines with wars and cyberpunk-esque megacorps with more power than nations fighting for resources underwater, etc. While different from the true exploration stories of S1, I think that sort of plot could have been entertaining as well if allowed to continue,
I remember it being on. Seems like a good show. Maybe it’s on YouTube or something
