Obscure TV shows you remember

[Cmarsh]

I can remember a show that channel 10 aired about 10 years ago called Yasmin’s Getting Married that centered around the audience picking a bloke for this woman to marry. It completely flopped and was pulled from the air after just a week.

Any others that have quickly faded into the ether?

 

[Exe Gesis]

Sale of the Century

 

[Gough]

Metal Mickey.

 

[Cmarsh]

I wouldn't call Sale obscure, had a vey long run.

 

[Quivorir]

How is a 20+ year show obscure and quickly faded into the ether?

 

[Cmarsh]

Warnie's chat show also comes to mind.

 

[little graham]

X files once was obscure.

 

[SugarShane]

How about that animated talk show? Can't remember the name but the host was CGI. Was supposed to be a big thing but also flopped big time. I think I watched about 5 minutes before switching off.

Edit: Googled it, David Tench Tonight. Not sure how they ever thought it would work.

 

[Van_Dyke]

The shows 10 debuted in 2012 that flopped. Everybody Dance now, I will survive and another one.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Metal Mickey.

Ah, obscure childhood reference.

Add to this then Super Gran and Alias The Jester.

Chances, and Sex with Sophie Lee, for a bit of early 90s titillation.

Worked alright for the Rick Gervais show. Slightly different though I guess.

Ah yes, this was my first introduction to the adult world at age 10. Can remember hiding behind the door of the next room to try and sneak a peek while my parents watched it.

John Doe (I loved it so of course its given the flick)
Andy Richter Controls the Universe (as above)
Nowhere Man
Man Oh Man
Every single Australian Drama Channel 10 created during the 1990s (Sweat, that Gary Sweet one, uh... A Country Practice reboot, that one with Alissa Jane Cook, etc)
Now and Again (why the **** would they cancel this????)
Ed (more obscure now due to lack of DVD releases)

Joanni Loves Chachi

Worked alright for the Rick Gervais show. Slightly different though I guess.

The gimmick with David Tench was that he was CGI but the guests were real. So basically they sat there and spoke to an empty desk that got filled in in post-production.

Oh wow that is horrible.

The Bounce

Massively different.

If anything, I'd say it was closer to Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.

 

[SmAshmoto]

One show I used to love when I was a kid,

Police Rescue.

Gary Sweet, now there's a real mans man.

To be fair I had no idea what what it was about, I just assumed it was all animated, now I know otherwise.

Doug Mulrays live show on channel 9 where Kerry Packer had the plug pulled mid show springs to mind.
