I never saw T and T, but I always thought that Andromeda and Earth Final Conflict were kinda boring.

I'm glad Legend of the Seeker is on now. Only syndicated shows that were running were reruns and a few shows that I think are pretty boring from Canada.

I'm embarrassed to say I've seen good number of these shows, whether by accident, on purpose because it was the only thing on, or plain watched all the time and enjoyed it.

Jack of All Trades - Watched religiously
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys - Watched religiously
Xena: Warrior Princess - Watched religiously
Earth: Final Conflict - Watched mainly in the beginning.
Cleopatra 2525 - watched religiously
Relic Hunter - Saw a few episodes
BeastMaster - Watched on and off
Baywatch - Watched religiously
The Adventures of Sinbad - Watched on and off
V.I.P. - Watched on and off
Andromeda - Watched on and off, mainly in the beginning
The Lost World - Watched on and off
Mutant X - Saw a few episodes
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues - Saw a few episodes

Wow. I guess my childhood was that cheesy.

Does anyone remember 'One West Waikiki'? Oh, Gawd, that show was awful. But in the 'Showgirls' way where you can't help but watch it is so bad. It starred Cheryl Ladd & Richard Burgi. Need I say more?

I'm surprised Pacific Blue wasn't on the list since Baywatch was on it and Pacific Blue was known in many circles as Baywatch on bicycles.

I'll admit I did Baywatch and Renegade when they used to come out on local Fox channel.

I loved Renegade. That was one of the last great syndicated shows on tv.

I loved it too. I haven't seen it in years. I wish a cable channel would air. Baywatch has been cable a few times Renegade should be on too. I think maybe Sleuth would be a channel for it to air on.

That's more cheese than a fondue party.

And, like movies, some of the most entertaining TV shows were cheesy.

But, the list is severely lacking with the absence of the Hulk Hogan series 'Thunder In Paradise'

I agree Thunder In Paradise should be on that list.

I have Jack Of All Trades on my Netflix queue.

That show should have gotten a second season. Bruce Campbell is one of the most underrated talents in the biz.

Rent My Name Is Bruce. It's friggin hysterical.
