Hard Time on Planet Earth a sci-fi series that aired back in the late 80’s about an alien exiled to Earth in a human form who had a floating orb as a companion. The series featured plenty of ass kicking and feats of super strength by the alien. I remember loving it as a kid, but it only lasted a few episodes and I never heard a thing about it after it left the air.
I do remember Probe, rather vaguely. But I used to love Boston Common! Anthony Clark was hilarious, used to do great standup comedy too, and then he went and did that dismal Yes, Dear show, bleh. And the girl who played his sister, Hedy Burress, was smokin’ hot. Her getting topless with Angelina Jolie in Foxfire was a dream come true.
Casey Jones… Saturday morning – Champion the wonder horse. The Cities of Gold and all that stuff – fond memories.
My favourite was
Casey Jones a steamin’ and a rollin’
Casey Jones you never have to guess
When you hear the tootin’ of the whistle
It’s Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express!
I can’t find any YouTube links, but anyone remember Almost Anything Goes? Teams from different towns would compete against each other in wild ‘n’ wacky stunts. There was a big pool they always had to rope across, or fight each other in boats, or something. It was the '70s, I was a kid, and I loved it.
It seems like it aired around the same time as Real People, which I also adored. Sarah Purcell and Byron Allen were like real people to me! 
It starred Robert Loggia as a former circus acrobat and master cat burglar. We named one of our cats after the character, btw.
My “lost” show is Shenanigans, a 1965 children’s game show starring Stubby Kaye. The kids would advance along a giant game board while doing silly things-a sort of proto Nickelodeon show.
I should dig out my old diaries. I remember always writing down my favorite shows and my thoughts about them!
Well, all right… I’ll let you off this time. Just don’t make me tell you again in another six years. 
Cupid, ill fated Jeremy Piven vehicle about a guy who might possibly be Cupid, or maybe just delusional. No one seems to remember this show but me and my one friend.
Eerie, IN Tweener moves to a small Indiana town but he (and his friend) are the only ones who seem to notice everyone is super-bizarre. Madcap and semi-supernatural adventures ensue.
The ultimate forgotten TV show was “Night Walk”.
It was the ultimate depressive midnight-drunk (or stoned) show - all it consisted of was a POV filming of a guy wandering around Toronto at night, while sad lonely music played.
Later, it was supplemented by “Night Ride”, the same idea, but with the cameraman riding the subway at night.
It was oddly hypnotic. Nothing ever happened.
Oh, dear, seeing that brings this other Joe E. Lewis vehicle to mind:
Car 54 Where Are You
Joe E. Ross–Joe E. Lewis was a very different person. Joe E. Ross, I am told, was the biggest jerk in Hollywood, which is pretty impressive when you consider the competition.
I used to watch Car 54 all the time with my dad. FTR, I’m only 31 so it was long since in reruns in the 80’s. He’d always think he was being so tricky by saying 'Do you recognize them?" “Yes dad, it’s Herman and Grandpa from the Munster’s, just like it is every time we watch the show” But when ever it’s on now I get to point that out to other people.
Oh, I knew I ws typing something in wrong, but didn’t take the time to check. Thank you for correcting me.
Never did like Ross…always repelled me.
Sounds like an inspiration for John Doe.
I always loved Joe E. Ross, and was disillusioned to find out what a *dick *he was.
I always loved the Bill Bixby show “The Magician,” which ran for just a year in the early seventies.
Ultraman!
Herman yes - but it was the cook from Bilko - not Grampa…
I absolutely remember this show. I loved it, and I wish they’d bring it back. Very smart writing.
I loved this one! I’m pretty sure you can still find the whole run of it on Netflix; at least you could a few months ago when I watched it. My favorite episode was the one where the Stepford-like mom sealed her twin boys in Foreverware every night.
As for my contributions, I’ll add:
Pearl, starring Malcolm McDowell as a stuffy uppercrust English professor and Rhea Perlman as a working-class woman who went back to college.
Dweebs, starring Peter Scolari as a Bill-Gates-style scatterbrained millionaire head of a software company, and featured the various programmers and the “normal” woman who was hired to be their receptionist and functioned as their window on the non-nerd world. Loved that show. It only lasted a few episodes, sadly. Scolari was great in it.
The Paper Chase, with John Houseman as law professor Kingsfield. Quite popular in its day but I never see it on in reruns anymore.
Dinosaurs, one of Jim Henson’s last projects (he died before it launched).
It ran against the early seasons of The Simpsons and given that both followed the usual sitcom template of inept dad, sensible mom and 2.4 children it’s not surprising that it didn’t last too long. But I still occasionally utter the phrase “We’re gonnna need another Timmy” when opportunity presents itself.
