Shows you liked that nobody else did
 
Was there ever a show you liked that you didn't feel caught on in your circle of friends, maybe one that only you watched? We all know G.I. Joe and Transformers and how popular those were, but was there a show you watched that others didn't?

I'll give you one of my favorite examples.

Ultraman: Towards the Future

About an astronaut on Mars named Jack Shindo who sees a terrifying battle between a gigantic alien named Gudis and a towering cyborg. The cyborg, Ultraman, defeats the alien, which then flees to earth. Since Ultraman cannot tolerate the polluted atmosphere of Earth, he joins with Jack Shindo. Shindo carries a pendant around that he can use to summon Ultraman whenever large aliens threaten the world, which is apparently often.

The show was filmed in Australia and has a cast of mostly Australian actors. The acting is kind of bad but some of them actually pull off a decent part. Shindo himself is an AWFUL actor, but the commander of the human team that defends earth is pretty amazing. There's a narrator who sounds like he's trying to channel Jor-El from the Superman movies, and a pretty rocking soundtrack that's super heroic.

It was good enough to get one of these:

So if you're looking for a cheesy show about a giant robot fighting aliens and promoting environmentalism against a mixed Australian cast with a Jor-El knockoff and a butt kicking soundtrack, this is for you. I only recently started watching old episodes because, amazingly, it's on Hulu.

Digimon was awesome! :D

Sailor Moon was pretty fun as well to be honest.
Yes it was stupid, REAL stupid, but it was fun.
Same with Cardcaptors.

Now Medabots. That was AWESOME! :D

I loved Medabots as well :P Also the Japanese Sailor Moon was less stupid (but still had its moments).

Believe it or not, my Bro and I are the only people I know (from my country) that like "Doctor Who".

We don't have sites, we don't have forums... we don't even have people mentioning the show on any romanian webpage. Awkard, isn't it?

Oh, Star Trek: Enterprise, too.

Dollhouse. Well, I do have two friends that like it as well, but everyone else that I know has either never heard of it or hates it.

DAISHI 07/08/2011 11:03 am

The worst series finale of any show, ever.

I never saw it why was it bad?

Because everyone dies in a cataclysmic fallout that brings on the ice age.

That seems like a realistic series finale to me.

That sounds like the best series finale in history!

Yeah nothing wrong with it if not for the fact that it was traumatizing to kids.
