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.

Odyssey 5- Astronauts witness the Earth blow up. It was robots. The aliens help.
Forever- British guy gets cursed with immortality. This gets hard in the modern era. Gets hunted by Longinus.
The Prisoner- Needed a few more seasons to explain who the hell Number Two was.
I want to watch those shows. Recently watched the Prisoner. I was wondering if that midget was number one. After that last episode I was singing Ezekiel and the dry bones.
Best current theory I've seen is that the main character of The Prisoner is Number One, but is an amnesiac/had a breakdown.
Oh. I never considered that.
