I loved the Powers That Be and Nightmare Cafe. Fish Police looks interesting. I wish that there was a channel specifically for reairing short lived TV shows.
These shows were short-leved I remember Scorch and Fish Police, both of which aired on CBS Saturday Night. "Billy"...a failed spinoff of sorts to Head of the Class
Man, I think these intros jump-started some old memories of mine! I think I remember that dragon puppet show "Sorch"! 1992 almost seems like a different universe--nearly all of these shows wouldn't last a moment on TV, today, imo.
if Hollywood claims to be running out of ideas and has a hard on for remakes they should look at these clips and besides if I wanted to see z list celebs like us I'd turn on my local news
doing some of these shows would bring back real TV if done right is it me or does anyone miss those shows with the family a pet and some wacky seniero shit bring back the good ol sitcom and action show
1992 was a great year for me...but apparently,not so great for television.

Oh man I used to love Billy. It was on right after Roseanne. Jesus, Johnny Galecki has been on tv going on 20 years now!

Did anyone else notice some of the names in "Fish Police"? What a cast! Music by James Horner? Hard to believe all that talent on a silly cartoon.
Also, Eriq LaSalle "pre-ER" on another hospital show "The Human Factor".

My mother remembers Scorch, and yet she has no memory of LA Law.

Billy! I loved that show and was so sad that they cancelled it. I love that he named his plant Robert. :)

Only saw two of these shows; Nightmare Cafe (which I loved!) and Mann & Machine (which was ok). Never heard of ANY of the others.

"Billy" was brilliant; especially the pilot when he came in with his potted plant, Robert.

oh my!!
just randomly stumbled over these videos.
So I was born in '91, haven't seen much of those shows :D
I'm really into Big bang theory and who is it I see in this video?
Johnny Galecki, Lennard in TBBT.

I happened to catch The Nightmare Cafe marathon on the Chiller channel a few months ago. It was a pretty good show.

I loved this Man & Machine so much - inique but soooooo underrated. David Andrews and Yancy Butler were brilliant!
The 90's were the best

why were these shows so short lived? nightmare cafe and Fish Police look pretty cool
FIsh Police does sound like a cheesy title though would be cool if some fans took over that cartoon and it became fan made
and all these shows onto a DVD box set series called short lived and have them done for each decade of short lived TV
who knows maybe they'd get remade and be successful if so they should get their own network not NBC = New Shows Being Cancelled

Thank God The Powers that Be and The Human Factor got cancelled or John Mahoney and David Hyde Pierce wouldn't have been available to do Frasier!

That frame advancementment on the still shots makes me laugh everytime. It is so cheesy.
