Dharma and Greg.......man, I really got a kick out of that one.
Mainstream society mixing in with the normal(to me) Paganistic view on life. Yeah, I know a lot of you will say more like old hippies, not so. It was Paganistic......I really loved that show :(

Dang, it killed me when they cancelled that show. I have no idea what they were thinking, it was one of the funniest shows ever. It would have been similar to killing Seinfeld halfway through the first season.

Another mid-90's Fox sit-com that was really funny but canned after a season was Partners, with Jon Cryer. I really liked it, but don't know a single other person who ever saw it.

Bakersfield PD.

Now that was one funny show. I'd completely forgotten about it.

I don't watch much TV...

But there's this one show I watched as a kid. It was on fox IIRC, it got cancelled, and had some sort of other cybernetic reality or something like that and government conspiracies maybe. That's really all I can remember.

It might've been complete crap, and I can't remember it at all, but I still wonder what it was like. Don't even know the title.

Looking on wikipedias list of programs, it might be Harsh Realm:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harsh_Realm
According to it's release date I would've been something like 10-11 at the time, probably too young and stupid to remember a TV show good or bad - I mean, I'm less young and stupid nowadays.

There was a saturday morning kids show called "Far Out Space Nuts" that I loved. It was only on for a season or two. Here's a blurb on the show:
Two maintenance workers are loading meals into a rocket capsule when the dopey one, Junior, mis-hears Barney say, "Lunch!" and presses the LAUNCH button. Rocketed into deep space, they drift from planet to planet, looking for a way home and getting into wacky adventures.
Junior was played by Bob Denver (aka Gilligan).

I really miss Stark Raving Mad. It was on for only one season, but it was great!

I'm still a bit miffed that "they" cancelled Logans Run in the '70's.
