26 "Forgotten" TV Shows That Gave Me A Total Headrush Of Nostalgia, I'm Not Even Sure What Time Period I'm In Anymore

If you remember watching Zoom on PBS, then we can for sure be friends.

Well, the BuzzFeed Community showed the F up. I got hundreds of responses, and when the article went live, I got hundreds more.

So, I wanted to share some of the answers that didn't make it into the first post, because they unlocked sooo many memories for me, and I think a little dose of nostalgia is good for the soul.

1. "OMG, who remembers The Jersey on the Disney Channel? Four kids and a magical jersey that transported them into the bodies of pro athletes?!"

2. "Does anyone remember the show Spyder Games? It was a prime-time soap on MTV in the early 2000s, I think for only one season. Apart from my BFF, I've never met another living soul who remembers this show."

3. "The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo! My older sister and I used to watch on Nickelodeon, but she has no memory of it."

4. "The Guys Next Door! It was on NBC in that Saturday morning block with Saved By The Bell and California Dreams. Nobody seems to remember it but me."

5. "Rags to Riches!! It’s like if Annie was a show and Daddy Warbucks adopted all of the orphans."

6. "Raising Dad! The only things I remembered were that Kat Dennings was in it, and she worked at a bookstore/juice bar called Pulp&Fiction which I found hilarious back then. Turns out, a very young Brie Larson was also in it!"

7. "Does anyone remember Teen Angel? About a guy's best friend that died after eating a six-month-old hamburger from under his bed and becomes his guardian angel."

8. "Does anyone remember Swan’s Crossing? Very early '90s and starred Sarah Michelle Gellar"

9. "Stark Raving Mad, with Neil Patrick Harris and Tony Shalhoub. It only lasted a season or two and was hilarious. It seems like nobody remembers that one even existed."

10. "Kablam! on SNICK (Nickelodeon) was a total fever dream."

11. "My grandmother and I were OBSESSED with Beauty and the Beast (the TV show). I've tried to explain it to people and they just can’t believe it existed, its such fever dream."

12. "Second Noah with James Marsden. Such a great show and didn't get the attention it deserved!"

13. "Here’s one absolutely no one remembers (I’ve asked A LOT of people): Wait Till Your Father Gets Home."

14. "Zoom!! I have discovered there are a crap-ton of 30-something-year-olds who have never heard of it!"

15. "The PBS gem Wishbone. When the trainer took Wishbone on tour, my ex and I stood in line for almost an hour at the local mall just to get our photo with him. Mind you, we were 30+ year-old adults with no kids, but dang it, we loved that dog."

16. Who remembers the spinoff of The Torkelsons, Almost Home? I don't think it even made it a full season, but it was a bit like The Nanny before The Nanny existed. It starred a young Brittany Murphy!"

17. The Secret Circle and House of Anubis.

CW, Nickelodeon

"Any one else remember The Secret Circle??? It only had one season before it was canceled but I loveddd that show!!

Another good one was House of Anubis. I sometimes have to google that one to remind myself it was a real show and not just a crazy-ass dream!"

18. "Today's Special! A mannequin in a department store has a magic hat that makes him come alive at night and he chills with Jodie, an overnight shift worker in the store."

19. "For me it's Dark Angel with Jessica Alba that ran for two seasons in 2000."

20. "Space Cases on Nickelodeon. It was a Star Trek-like show for a younger audience. I thought it was so imaginative and was obsessed with the theme song."

21. "Tales of the Golden Monkey from the '80s. It had an Indiana Jones feel to it. My whole family loved it when I was a kid, but also seemed to disappear into oblivion after a season or two."

22. "Does anyone remember Ghostwriter? Teenagers solved crimes with the help of a ghost? No one really knows what I’m talking about if I bring it up!"

23. "Not sure, but perhaps others remember Hey Dude on Nickelodeon. It was on around the same time as Salute Your Shorts."

24. "No one ever knows what I’m talking about when I mention, Under the Umbrella Tree!"

25. "Tower Prep on Cartoon Network. For a very short period, they tried out live-action shows but I'm pretty sure they were all cancelled after one season. It followed a group of teenagers with mysterious abilities who were kidnapped to a boarding school where weird things happen as they try to figure how they got there and why."

26. And finally: "Flash Forward was so good !!! I loved that show. I ask people all the time if they remember it and they always say no."
