In this episode we take a look at the various genre TV series of the 90’s. We talk about our favorites and the ones that gained the attention of pop culture. We discuss what we liked, whether we think that they hold up, and why they’re worth a mention.

We’ve all had the experience. We absolutely love a TV series and follow it faithfully, but then it’s canceled after one or two seasons. In this episode we take a look at all the contenders who got knocked out early in the fight. We air our grievances and talk about why we think these series should have kept going. We also discuss the difficulties in comparing series that lasted such a small amount of time with the behemoths that last for 5 or more seasons. These shows may be gone, but they’re not forgotten.
