I can honestly say, I either don't remember or vaguely remember these. It's crazy how many shows come and go and get forgotten. Thanks for bringing back lost memories Cecil. Still hoping to see 'Shadow Chasers" (1985) and "One Step Beyond" (1959-1961) on a list some day.
Earth 2 was about a private colonization effort of an Earthlike world, but their ship was sabotaged causing them to crash! It was such a great show with a great cast and some well written stories! I put it up there with Firefly, Space Above and Beyond, and Adventures of Brisco County Junior as top sci-fi series that were Murdered!
I really hated Earth 2. I couldn't stand the kid and his subplot, and episodes and more episodes where nothing happened. Good idea, good cast (not the kid), bad writing.
7:16 "commander Chuck Taggart" – this came out in 2002, so 3 years after Galaxy Quest, in which Tim Allen played a character that played captain Peter Quincy Taggart. Am I crazy, or is Odyssey 5 paying an homage to Galaxy Quest???
Special Unit 2 was a lot of Fun The concept was Good enough for at least 5 seasons. I’m glad I have the complete Series on DVD now. Also great theme song too.
Special unit 2 was absolutely hilarious. I always felt sorry for benson being locked in the insane asylum that was SU2. Great casting, carl the gnome and O'mally are still in my list of favorite characters of all time.
Earth 2, good series, but definitely dragged in a lot of episodes. Had so many plot points it was a bit of a pia to keep up with. But, clancy brown AND tim curry in the same show, i don't care how bad it is, i'm watching that. The cast was really solid.
The rest, i've never seen, but i'll probably check out. Thanks for another great episode.
I too would always call it "Numb-Three-Ers" lol …very much like I'd call the horror movie "Thir-Thirteen-En Ghosts"
… a TV show I've never heard of with Peter Weller? Say no more, I'm already in
DR. GIGGLES, starring Robert G. Durant from DARKMAN? Dude, you're on FIRE with things I need to see!
If you were to talk about The Pretender, where would you group that show with?

Odyssey 5 was a legitimately good show.
Odyssey five is pretty good, really. The music is particularly evocative.
I was hooked by Ark II as a kid, and vr.5 as an adult. I need to go back and revisit both.
I expected 4400 or 100s to make the name even more fitting.

Special Unit 2 was my jam. I loved the episode with The Boogeyman, that was lit.
As a Canadian i can spot a Canadian production in a millisecond.. its the overlit background white lighting
Numb-thre-ers
Hahaha!
I will need to find the Earth 2 books, i used to love the series.

Why the hell does FIlmation always jam a monkey in to their shows?! lol what IS that!?
I love these forgotten series videos!
Netflix is 99% garbage now
Great video, Cecil! I remember watching VR 5 and Earth 2 when they came out. I wish I had caught Special Unit 2, it looks like it would've been fun!
You can always get together with the Lone Gunmen and discuss the scientific inaccuracies of Earth 2.
