    And for me right now that show is Farscape. I don’t know if you can call it niche, but it certainly is not very well known where I live. And this show is frelling good. I love it! I love the story, I love the actors, I love all the costumes and puppets, the sets, the effects. It is better than most of the dren studios nowadays produce

    Rewatching M.A.S.H. right now.

    Edit: Wasn’t exactly niche back in the day, but I wonder how many people have watched it recently.

        I liked Atlantis. Universe seemed to be barely connected in terms of story. I confess I watched like 2 episodes.

          Well they’re literally in another galaxy, and at first they’re stranded there.

          It does connect with Earth and SG1 characters guest star revert now and then.

          Ofc it’s still not as Earthcentric as SG1 but

          I really disliked the first few episodes of Universe. The Battlestar Galactica reboot’s grimdark edge was bleeding in very strongly. The show does mellow out on that as it goes. The basic character friction is still there, but toned way down and characters are usually finding common ground.

      Just finished it recently, so good. It’s like a cross between X-Files and the Librarians. Plus Claudia reminds me of the hot topic emo chick loves of my youth.

        There’s always a hot emo chick in all of these. And I’m here to get the crushes :D.

        The Librarians is also fun, it was released a lot later. It seems there’s a new Librarians show starting or that has started.

        I have Warehouse 13 regularly going on reruns on some tv channel, Syfy maybe. I’m always rewatching it. I remember seeing a bunch of episodes of Eureka some many years ago, it was fun, but that one isn’t on the rerun list unfortunately.

        There’s Grimm some times, but that one started going really bad after the initial season that were somewhat interesting and I lost interest and stopped wathing. There was also Sanctuary playing sometimes but it hasn’t aired in a long time.

        I think that’s the show yeah. There’s 1 or 2 episodes with a croasover. But you wouldn’t notice what it is about without knowledge that that other series exist.

    How old does it need to be in order to be considered niche by virtue of its age rather than by its original success or lack thereof?

        I chose it as my online username/gamertag like 20years ago. Alan was taken at that time on whatever game I was playing when I picked it.

      I tried correcting you by spelling it correctly, but working out the syntax with the asterisks and slashes was huring my brain.

      But yes - great show.

      Also the only one where I think every cast change was an improvement.

      Trapper was just a clone of Hawk, whereas Honeycut was his own character. Henry was fun, but Potter brought real gravitas and represented a good man who was career Army - which was necessary. Burns had no redeeming characteristics at all, whereas Charles served as an antagonist while still hating the war and being a strong character and excellent surgeon.

      And the way they transformed Kilnger from a cheap side gag into a fully-fleshed out character was remarkable.

      And the decision not to cast a new regular when Radar left was inspired. We felt that hole the remainder of the series.
