TV shows that for a while I was sure I had actually completely made up because all I got were blank stares when I described them:
Doctor in the House et al. (a British series that aired on our PBS station)
Something Is Out There

TV shows that I’m absolutely sure a bunch of people watched but don’t get talked about or referenced like other shows of the same era:
You Can’t Do That on Television
Anything But Love
Another World
Homefront

TV shows that were pretty bad, but I remember fondly anyway and I am a little wistful that I never hear anything about them even though I totally understand why they are so forgettable :
Double Trouble
It’s a Living
Misfits of Science
Sidekicks

Movies that I think should have been more popular:
Playing By Heart
Wimbledon
The Thing Called Love

I don't know that I've seen a full episode, but I still randomly get "The Misfits of Science" theme song stuck in my head.

ayrt

Sometimes I get a random bit of the Sidekicks theme in mine, but today it has been the Quantum Leap theme song, which I kind of forget exists sometimes because the voiceover introduction is so prominent when I think about it, but there's a pretty long instrumental song that plays while they show clips past leaps.

I was, to my best recollection, a huge Misfits of Science fan as a kid and I was salty for years that I missed the last episode before it got cancelled because my dad wanted to take us out to dinner (yes pre-VCRs). But I can't actually remember anything about the series except the name. I'd love to see it again in order to judge my child self's taste.

What I remember most about it is it had a pre-Friends Courtney Cox (even pre-Family Ties) and that the guy with electrical powers using a generator or something to power up and then shooting lightning to the tune of Johnny B. Goode.

If you would like to watch that last episode, I think it is up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwEa8TkruIA

But, be warned, watching things we love from childhood can be a risky proposition and you might want to keep it how it is in your memory now.
