1) Man from Atlantis - Patrick Duffy stars as a man with webbed hands. One weird episode had him going to stop Romeo from committing suicide.

2) $1.98 Beauty Contest - A Rip Taylor classic, this show ranks down there as one of the worst TV shows in history.

3) Quark - This sci-fi comedy starring Richard Benjamin lasted just six episodes but is a cult classic.

4) The Quest - four people who are heirs to a kingdom compete to see who will inherit it.

5) We Got It Made - An inside-out version of Three's Company, this show had two guys who hire a hot blonde as their maid. This too was also named one of the worst TV shows in history.

Feel free to add to the list.

Some show with robert Ulrich in it, he was a cop or something, all I knew was straight after that WWF was on.

The Goodies, old british comedy show.

Fantastic Journey (1977) - A scientific expedition in the Atlantic Ocean becomes lost in the Bermuda Triangle and washes up on an uncharted island. They meet up with travelers from other times, planets and dimensions who have also become trapped, and together they "slide" through portals from one dimension to the next hoping to find the one that leads home.

Kroft Superstars - each episode had a different show ranging from Wonderbug to Electro Woman and Dynagirl with Deidre Hall to Far Out Spacenuts with "Gilligan" Bob Denver.

Really used to love Man from Atlantis, but that takes me back to kindergarten.

Several years ago I watched the Land of the Lost (they were called "sleestacks"!) and another show called (my contribution to this discussion) The Bugaloos (kind of a spinoff on H.R. Puff-n-Stuff) on TV Land.

The Bugaloos.
The Bugaloos.
They're in the air and everywhere...

OK here's another one from my early childhood: The New Zoo Review. With Freddy Frog and Henrietta Hippo.

"Everyday's a different show."

Also from junior high school, there was some ninja show with some old guy and a ninja apprentice. Same year as Night Rider and V, but it apparently didn't make it after season one. There was another show with the psycho "energizer!" muscle-bound guy, driving a mega-semi truck, but it didn't make it past a couple of episodes...

I still pine for "The New Adventures of Beans Baxter" -- a teen spy spoof that rocked my little world. The bad guy was played by that grouchy dad (Red) on That Seventies Show.

Memorable quotes:
[Beans participates in an exorcism to deal with a spirit way too fond of lounge music.]
Beans Baxter: The power of Elvis compels you! The power of Elvis compels you!

My dad was into a comedy/detective show called "Sledge Hammer!" which I might have enjoyed more if I were old enough.

Bosom Buddies - the TV show that made Tom Hanks famous and left his sidekick, Peter Scolari, in the same class as DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Darkroom - Twilight Zone wannabe hosted by James Coburn that had some good episodes.

Police Squad- Leslie Nielsen was funny in this one, too bad it didn't last long.

Love, American Style- This show produced the spinoffs Happy Days, which in turn led to the spinoff Laverne and Shirley.

Pink Lady - Japanese-hosted variety show with some American named Jeff.
