10 Forgotten 80s TV Shows That Only Gen X Remembers

From holographic superheroes and nuclear sitcom finales to federal laws and tragedy, these aren't just forgotten shows. Some of them changed careers, changed culture, or changed actual legislation. A few of them ended in ways that are still hard to sit with. In this video I'm covering 10 obscure and overlooked TV series from the 1980s that deserve a second look or at least a first real one. Shows covered: Automan (1983–1984) Sledge Hammer! (1986–1988) Small Wonder (1985–1989) Head of the Class (1986–1991) Manimal (1983) Square Pegs (1982–1983) Misfits of Science (1985–1986) The Greatest American Hero (1981–1983) My Sister Sam (1986–1988) Voyagers! (1982–1983) This isn't a nostalgia trip. It's more complicated than that. #80sTV #ForgottenTV #CancelledShows #TelevisionHistory 🔔 Subscribe if you want more deep dives like this.
