Does Stargate SG-1 count as 90's schlock? Especially when it was on Showtime so they could show boobs. They was a show call Space Rangers right? How about the one show about the wandering vigilante who had super senses (no SFX required!) because he got lost in the jungle?

SeaQuest DSV, which was basically "Star Trek TNG but underwater." Especially considering that early in TNG's development they wanted to have dolphin crewmembers on the Enterprise.

I can’t believe we’re talking about 90s schlock and not mentioning Night Man. https://youtu.be/i5LhB2X0cuA Not an It’s Always Sunny joke, I promise.

Does Brisco County Jr hold up outside of being a vehicle for Bruce to ham it up? I loved it as a tween, but I’ve not revisited it.

Viper. Renegade. Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. Forever Knight. Beastmaster. Xena: Warrior Princess. Tales From The Crypt. Kindred: The Embraced. Weird Science. She-Wolf of London. If you can ignore that the leads are shitheads...Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

There's also Earth: Final Conflict and Andromeda. Both shows based on failed Gene Roddenberry projects.

There is a very 90s Seaquest where Seth Green tries to take over the internet, which is accessed exclusively through a second life-style interface where people walk avatars of themselves around an overworld to buy things or make calls. Better than what the actual internet ended up being tbh.

Brisco is fun, but it would be way better if they leaned into the sci-fi/steampunk stuff more. It's just a straight cowboy show most of the time, albeit a fun one.

It’s endlessly funny to me that NBC uses the theme song for the Olympics 30 years later, while the show only lasted a season.

Better than what the actual internet ended up being tbh. I was a kid when SeaQuest aired and it was the first show I really considered myself a fan of. With that in mind I think the most 90s thing I associate with SeaQuest was being really annoyed that an episode got delayed because the network was airing the OJ Simpson Bronco chase. Although, looking up the episode airdates now, that doesn't seem to match up... maybe I was remembering a rerun. Also, now I kind of want to rewatch The People vs. OJ Simpson, which was way better than it had any right to be. Although gently caress Ryan Murphy for trying to sue the strike leader, so maybe not.

The Phantom 2040 was better than it had any right to be. There's a tie-in video game which is even more better than it has any right to be, it has branching paths and like 40 endings depending on your actions. The 90s had quite a few short-lived and often surprisingly good cyberpunk cartoons. I actually liked Spider-Man Unlimited.

As long as he doesn't interact with anything visible. If he does anything but walk an invisible dog on a leash, that requiressome creativity and/or money for FX.

Non Compos Mentis posted:The only memory of that show i had was quicksilver being involved The substance that causes invisibility is silver before turning invisible. I love that show since every character seems fun even if there's no invisible man. And their ramshackle secret agency gets transferred through several US gov departments throughout the show, including the ones in charge of farms and national parks. Which I remember led to an episode where they actually had to go on a mission related to that department and met Bigfoot. Which was also invisible (that's why no one can find it). I also remember they added a female agent that had the same name as the protagonist of Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.

The show runner devoted two episodes to a back door pilot for a 90s reboot of Manimal 2. Despite scraping the wood off the barrel at this point, Night Man and the other characters in the same line are in the 'This is not a place of honor' portion of the Marvel Vault.

The MSJ posted:I seem to remember Night Man appearing in a 90s cartoon but not sure what. Ultraforce, it had a short lived cartoon series back when every animated studio was throwing money at any comic book company would take it. The tricky thing about Ultraverse characters was that Malibu, the company that originally created the line, wanted this big shared cohesive universe so they offered profit sharing across the line to various creators. Every creator would get a small cut from the other lines to foster cooperation rather than competition. Cool idea until one of the creators turns out to be a child molester and any revival of any of the characters would mean cutting checks to him.

Also Marvel bought them and does nothing with the characters. Except for Ultraverse's Christian Thor making a cameo on the cover of a Thor comic. I found the cartoon. All the jank of 90s TV animation but some interesting things too, like how nobody who is observant gets fooled by the shapeshifter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3auXYAil2QU
