* ''{{Solstrom}}'', a CirqueDuSoleil-mounted show that, in its thirteen episodes in 2003, managed to blend together a VarietyShow (circus/novelty acts from within and without the company), an anthology series (acts are used to tell whimsical fantasy stories), a {{Sitcom}} (comic characters tying the stories together), a silent film (no dialogue -- just narration to set up the premise and ease us into each story) and a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover (characters and acts from all of the company's then-running shows incorporated into it). Not surprisingly, it didn't get much attention. In Canada, CBC didn't air the final four episodes; U.S. outlet Bravo ran the whole show but gave it a weak time slot and little promotion, possibly because it arrived ''just'' in time for the NetworkDecay of that channel. It didn't even find love from Cirque's fanbase! But its creativity, charm, humor, and warmth make it a curiously lovely WidgetSeries that's just crying for a cult following, and by far the cleverest take on the VarietyShow since [[Main/TheMuppetShow Kermit the Frog and company's heyday]].

* To see it discussed by fans of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration, Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' redefines SoBadItsHorrible and did nothing right, ever. But actually, it had a lot of interesting stories, inventive solutions to the problem of the week, and later on, hard, decisions having to be made in the moment. And the ratings were quite high ''throughout'' the first season, not just when it was shiny and new -- it didn't fall off until it ''started'' having TNG-like stories in the early second season. (If you watched it in the first season and jumped ship around "A Night In Sickbay," skip to "Canamar" or thereabouts. It gets back on track.) It's a good show, just... not for the people whose idea of adventure is Picard discussing Shakespeare or the intricacies of Klingon politics.
* ''SpacePrecinct'' was a cop show IN SPACE, you can tell from the name. You probably know no more about it than that. It was ScrewedByTheNetwork because it had the kind of alien makeup one expects of a kids' show but the material of a serious effort. Not knowing what to do with it, networks buried it. But if you can find it, and can handle a few PeopleInRubberSuits, give it a try.

*Similarly, ''MercyPoint'' was a hospital show set on a space station. Only lasted [[ShortRunners eight episodes]], but it's eight episodes with complex characters and TheVerse outside being learned of one tantalizing bit at a time. Also, [[HeyItsThatGuy it stars]] [[{{Eureka}} Henry]].
