Not that obscure, but my favorite show of all time is Babylon 5. It may not be visually impressive, but the writing is excellent, the story is compelling, and the characters are richly developed and likeable.
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. is a western starring Bruce Campbell. It’s a wonderful blend of western tropes, scifi elements, and humor. But what I love most of all is the optimism. It’s from the 1990s and is set in the 1890s, and a major theme is looking to the future, towards a new century full of amazing advancements. It’s full of anachronistic inventions of the week, and excitement for the possibilities that they represent. It’s beaming with hope for the future, something which was common at the time but now feels quaint and nostalgic. “You remember when we thought things would get better? Those were the days.”
