Shows you liked that nobody else did
Was there ever a show you liked that you didn't feel caught on in your circle of friends, maybe one that only you watched? We all know G.I. Joe and Transformers and how popular those were, but was there a show you watched that others didn't?
I'll give you one of my favorite examples.
Ultraman: Towards the Future
About an astronaut on Mars named Jack Shindo who sees a terrifying battle between a gigantic alien named Gudis and a towering cyborg. The cyborg, Ultraman, defeats the alien, which then flees to earth. Since Ultraman cannot tolerate the polluted atmosphere of Earth, he joins with Jack Shindo. Shindo carries a pendant around that he can use to summon Ultraman whenever large aliens threaten the world, which is apparently often.
The show was filmed in Australia and has a cast of mostly Australian actors. The acting is kind of bad but some of them actually pull off a decent part. Shindo himself is an AWFUL actor, but the commander of the human team that defends earth is pretty amazing. There's a narrator who sounds like he's trying to channel Jor-El from the Superman movies, and a pretty rocking soundtrack that's super heroic.
It was good enough to get one of these:
So if you're looking for a cheesy show about a giant robot fighting aliens and promoting environmentalism against a mixed Australian cast with a Jor-El knockoff and a butt kicking soundtrack, this is for you. I only recently started watching old episodes because, amazingly, it's on Hulu.

Digimon was awesome!
Sailor Moon was pretty fun as well to be honest.
Yes it was stupid, REAL stupid, but it was fun.
Same with Cardcaptors.
Now Medabots. That was AWESOME!
I loved Medabots as well :P Also the Japanese Sailor Moon was less stupid (but still had its moments).
Same here.
We don't have sites, we don't have forums... we don't even have people mentioning the show on any romanian webpage. Awkard, isn't it?
What monster's couldn't like that!
The worst series finale of any show, ever.
I liked it too, especially the last two seasons.
Thirded.
I never saw it why was it bad?
That seems like a realistic series finale to me.
That sounds like the best series finale in history!
That makes it even better!
everyone groans when I mention gummi bears, but it was easily disneys best animated series in my opinion xDD
Totally Spies
12 Oz. Mouse
One Piece
Ninja edit: Okay, yeah, Kim Possible was sort of a guilty pleasure for me.
TOTALLY SPIES!!!!! I LOVED THAT SHOW!!!! I still havn't seen the last few seasons though... I kinda lost interest when katie leigh stopped voicing alex... it just felt wierd...
Of course people liked Xiaolin Showdown! Newman was the dragon!
I still like them.
You are going to hell and I have zero sympathy for you.
Love you too.
