Weird TV shows from the past

I remember a while back, there were some weird shows I used to watch....
Who remembers these?

Sledge Hammer


Woops!


Brimstone


Wizards & Warriors


Phoenix


Otherworld


Mr. Merlin

Sledge Hammer!

I was in grade 6 when that came on. I remember watching it with my dad.

Great show.

Ooh sledgehammer..../drool at Anne-Marie when i was a poor lad having to watch it at near midnight in the UK at the time

but i'm sure these days he'd be considered a gun grabber due to some silly fact that would make less sense than the series

Yep, definitely falls in the weird show variety....

Sally Fields as the Flying Nun. The only show on this thread I recognize so far. I have to guess that the others were out while I was in the navy.

LOL! Good one!



For me, maybe Dinosaurs? Never watched it back in the day but it's on Netflix now (but I don't watch it there either).

Weird show. lol

I'm not familiar with the ones in the OP.

I remember Sledge Hammer(Awesome) and I faintly remember Mr. Merlin but the others are a mystery , I guess they didn't make it to UK TV .
If you want Weird TV shows from the past this this was a kids show that was really out there , so much so that the memory of it stayed with me to this day .
Catweazle

I remember this show when it came out.This show helped me become interested in UFO's. Project UFO

These were all on, in the US, mostly in primetime. Thing is, they didn't last long. A bit too weird for most people.

Sally Fields as the Flying Nun. The only show on this thread I recognize so far. I have to guess that the others were out while I was in the navy.

Yeah, that was pretty mainstream. "Alf" would be another, but kind of mainstream for what I was going for.

Here's others:

Misfits of Science (a very young Courtney Cox)


Powers of Matthew Star

Probably before your time...

Last summer the Chiller network ran a marathon of Brimstone. It was a very nice treat!

Speaking of weird TV shows, I think Saturday mornings of the past take first prize in that category!

I blame Cocaine for a lot of those...

Except Mr. Merlin and Hammer I miss those!


Oh oh The Voyagers! And Geez no wonder we see Illuminati everywhere now with all them Pyramid shows! We was brainwasheded!

The whole Sid & Marty Krofft thing was pretty out there. Dr. Shrinker, Land of the Lost, etc.

GREAT IDEA! I will have to make one! I have made some other SteamPunk works although not as Fancy as the Omni.

Looks like someone has Dang...Time Travel doesn't come cheap!

Yeah, I looked into it a few years ago, and everywhere I found one, they wanted a small fortune for it.

Oooohhh nice!! Never heard of theses shkws before :]

I used to love Sledge Hammer.

Does anyone remember the show "Nowhere Man" starring Bruce Greenwood? I missed the last season and I was never sure if all that was really happening to him or if he was just insane. Does anyone know?

HR PufNstuff was amazing. Creepy flute though.

How about this one?



or this?
