Does anyone remember the show Misfits of Sience?
I barely remember this series but I do know it was very short lived.

I vaguely remember that one. Everybody had some weird power. That came out around the time of teen comedies like Weird Science, My Science Project, Real Genius, etc. Seems that cashing in on movie fads is not what makes for lasting TV shows.

Automan , Manimal , Misfits of Science and Wizards and Warriors all had at least one thing in common, besides being canceled early:  my family watched them regularly.  Got to the point where we thought if we liked a show, it was bound to be canceled.  We were shocked as hell when X-Files made it to four seasons...

 Yup, I loved that show. Courtney Cox got her start as Gloria, the girl with telekinesis.

Wizards and Warriors. I liked that shows attitude to the genre. If they ever remake it, have Bruce Cambell as the lead. Hope he don't feel type cast.....................................
