Do you remember watching any of these?

Malibu Shores is peak 90s. Its also hilarious how Keri Russel went from the hot popular girl to just a few years later staring in "Felicity" as the 'awkward/shy nerdy girl' that no guy noticed until college. Hollywood could be hilarious that way.

I definitely remember Malibu Shores! Keri Russell and Charisma from Buffy. This show was sort of the beginning of the Dawson's Creek era, as the 90210 era began to fade. Entering into the WB and its popular singing cartoon frog. I was a freshman in highschool in 1996 and remember this time period well.

I recognize the title "Swift Justice" because I saw a standup comedian on comedy central named D.C. Benny who is also an actor and had a bit about getting cast as an extra for the pilot for "Swift Justice" where he played a thug who's only line was "I cut you good!" and he was so proud about having his first acting role he sat his whole family down to watch it only to not see himself in the episode and when he wondered why one of his family members said "They cut you good!"🗡🤣

I feel like Dick Wolf has been making the same show for 30 years.

The Dana Carvey Show was incredibly underrated and unappreciated.

As an international viewer, we never got to see these failed tv shows, so I am grateful this channel shows us what we missed out on. lol

[bostonrailfan]

I watched Strange Luck, Aliens in the Family, Nowhere Man, Minor Adjustments, Malibu Shires, Dana Carvey Show, Buddies, and Lazarus Man…I had no life back then as a 13-year-old

Ever see California Dreams? Do a review on that.

Malibu Shores had terrible scheduling…who schedules a show aimed at teens/young adults on a Saturday night?!!?

This channel deserves many more subscribers.

I remember Malibu Shores! I was 11 years old at the time. I remember wanting to like it but it was just so bad.. Keri Russell and her lion's mane hair was a major beauty icon in those days.

[jaysonraphaelmurdock]

I remember a bunch of shows that came on after the news on CBS like Forever Knight, Silk Stalkings, Fly By Night(w/Shannon Tweed) & Dark Justice but there were others that I just can't remember. Anybody else ever seen these shows?

There was a screen capture of “Aliens in the family” that you showed, in which I recognized a very young Hayden Patteniere.

11:49 Brandy is one of my favorite music artists.

You should consider featuring Working (‘97-99) and Men Behaving Badly (‘96-97). Both had two seasons but I loved them!

[kazuoyumeno]

Wow, memory unlocked! I watched Aliens in the Family, but then quickly forgot about it. 😆

[turboscuff]

I was just old enough to appreciate The Dana Carvey show at the time. As I grew older and became a young adult, I had then realized that a lot of my favorite comedians worked on that show.

[thespectralsanctum]

I remember Nowhere Man, Strange Luck, Minor Adjustment, and Lazarus Man.

[katwernery]

I watched almost all of these! I especially remember aliens in the family, and Malibu Shores.
