Space: Above and Beyond - Fox - 1995-1996A squadron of Marine space pilots fight and alien adversary whose space we invaded.
I thought this was cool show for the most part (I had some problems with the way they portrayed the Marines.)
Fox canceled it after one year.
Babylon 5 - Warner Brothers Syndicated 1994-1999JMS's novel for television is one of the best Science Fiction stories ever to grace the small screen.
The show was so great, especially for being made on the cheap. Some of the actors should've been winning Emmies (especially Peter Jurasik and Andreas Katsulas )
The show did win one Emmy for makeup. It also won 3 Hugo awards and was nominated for a fourth. JMS won the Bradbury Award for writing.
When WB was going to drop the show after season four, TNT picked it up and payed for the fifth season.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Paramount Syndicated 1993 - 1999The best of all the modern Treks in my opinion. Some people claimed it wasn't Star Trek because it often cast a skeptical eye at Roddenberry's Utopian Federation.
Featured at least a dozen recurring characters (some of which were more interesting than some of the regulars). It had strong women characters and actually gave them a lot to do.
Like Babylon 5 it is serial in nature and you can't get a feel for the show unless you watch it all (especially seasons 4-7)
Robocop: The Series Syndicated 1994This series was cancelled after one year for a couple of reasons, Robocop movie fans didn't like the lack of graphic violence and parents probably kept their kids from watching because the movies were so violent.
Robocop has to come up with some interesting ways to immobilize his suspects, since he doesn't kill anyone during the 23 show run of the series. The bad guys usually end up in the Henry Ford Center for the Morally Challenged.
The show does a lot of social satire and features commercials with OCP's cartoon mascot Commander Cash.
I enjoyed it when it was first on and had to hunt up the DVD's because it was only released in Region 2. If you want to know some more check out the link.

The show follows the misadventures of Dr. Thaddeus Venture, his boys Hank and Dean, and body guard Brock Sampson.
I've got Seasons 1 & 2, and Cartoon Network has renewed it for two more seasons.
Check it out if you dare.
The Invisible Man - SciFi Channel 2000-2002I remember when they proposed this series, I let out a groan. Boy, was I wrong.
This is another hard one to find, so don't ask how I got it. I've only gotten through 8 episodes so far, I'll report back when I'm finished.
