Cancelled TV Show Quiz

September 29, 2006 - -

This Friday seemed like a good day for a different type of quiz - name that TV show, based on screenshots. Most of these shows are fairly old, but hopefully most are recognisable. Have fun.

Wow, this is a tough one.

2. Earth^2 (?)
4. Roar
7. Farscape (?)
8. Earth: Final Conflict

Is that A. Martinez in number six?

Number seven looks very, very familiar, too.

All correct. I'm amazed that you got Earth 2. :)

PMD, #1 is not survivor. You got #3, #5 and #6 right, as well as (ha ha) #7. But #10 is not Automan, although I came damn close to using that one. :)

Looks like people guessed everything but #1 and #10...

There ya go - only #1 hasn't been guessed. Lemme recap yours guys's guesses...


  1. ?

  2. Earth 2 - good guess, KJToo. I thought this was the hardest one.

  3. Herman's Head. Somehow, I knew Paul would get this one.

  4. Roar. This was also a hard one. I remember discussing this show with my friends the Meisters - we were really excited for it until it debuted on Fox and we realized that it sucked.

  5. Misfits of Science.

    I have this whole show on VCD - I bought it on EBay. Courtney Cox was so young. But I loved this show. :)

  6. Voyagers. Phineas Bog and the kid he picked up would use "The Omni" to travel through time righting wrongs.

  7. Farscape. 'Nuff said.

  8. Earth: Final Conflict. Never really got into this one, but yes - it was Roddenbury.

  9. Surface. Watching it on DVD right now, and I'm up to episode 6.

  10. Street Hawk.

    I was way into this show. I blogged about this and Misfits of science a long time ago.

Misfits of Science? Oh, man, I loved that show, even though I have only vague memories of it. The big guy had some kind of freezing power, right?

The big guy in the silver suit was super-cold, and could only say "AMELIA!!"

The guy with the shades can run super-fast and shoot electricity. And the tall black guy can shrink to tiny size, so you see him naked in nearly every episode. Oh - and Courtney Cox is telekinetic.
