Discuss The Equalizer

First Equalizer was a white Englishman

Second Equalizer was a black American man

Third Equalizer is a black American woman

What next? White English woman? That would give a certain symmetry.

Doubtful.

A transexual Korean paraplegic. Who also dabbles in bestiality every now and then

I'd watch it.

But only for the bestiality! grinning

I'm really more perplexed as to what leads folks to rehash this idea and storyline at all. The original was a silly show from the 1980s, that has a following which can barely be described as "cult". What's next? A reboot of Hardcastle and McCormick? Are we going to bring back Riptide as well?

I vote for Jake And The Fatman.

I was just thinking of something more obscure than Hardcastle, and Riptide.

I saw a few of them, Mann and Machine was fun to watch mostly cuz Yancy Butler was hot. Did you ever see Witchblade?

Don't forget Millenium. Which led to one of the best spoofs ever:

I loved Beans Baxter, so far as I can tell it's never come out on video.

Nightmare Cafe was enjoyable, I think you can see it on youtube. I have all the episodes somewhere.

Episode 1: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2tevwn

I have them all recorded and/or downloaded, nice and clean.

Witchblade used to be on youtube too, but I see that they're selling/renting it now which means they always go after the free versions to remove them.

I recorded that when it was first on TNT, as I recall they first ran each episode on Monday night after wrestling - which sometimes ran long and so Witchblade started late - and then later in the week they ran the same episode again in "widescreen." Now I also have it all clean in digital downloads.

I recorded Harsh Realm back in the day, and sold VHS copies to some people who were unable to get it themselves for some reason. I've seen it in stores on DVD but haven't bought it.

I have Level 9 in clean digital recordings, also Kindred, and Space Rangers.

Speaking of Kindred being a "cult" show, did you see Cult?

Did you ever see Mercy Point? I have that too.

Earth 2 came out on DVD also, I bought it on ebay a while back but haven't re-watched it yet.

Did you see Terra Nova? It was an interesting concept in some ways but they screwed it up pretty badly I think.

I really liked Earth 2, was disappointed it didn't last.

I haven't re-watched it yet, but some of it seemed to remind me of a series of books called America: 2040.

I heard of most of those shows, at one time or another, but had no interest in their plots, or their stars...

How about Automan? I have that too.

Oh, and there was Brimstone! Neat show!

The only reason I recorded Kindred was because of the gorgeous Stacy Haiduk, who was in an episode of Charmed (the original, not the craptastic "reboot") and a few of Brimstone.

A few more:

Dracula: The TV Series: Drac was now a modern business tycoon in this Canadian show that ended up on American TV in syndication. Starred a young Mia Kirshner as well

Models Inc: Not as obscure as some of the other shows I've listed thus far, nonetheless it's worth a mention. Had a nifty theme song, and gave us all a glance of Carrie Anne Moss, several years before she ended up on The Matrix

Pacific Palisades: Never even saw a full episode of this series. Can't even tell you much about it, except for the fact that it was an Aaron Spelling show, that featured a scene in which a hotter than hades real estate agent spreads her legs for a prospective buyer, to help him get past his hesitancy

Super Human Samurais: A network that wasn't FOX Kids tried to emulate the success of Power Rangers. It didn't break a season

Learning The Ropes: A direct to syndication sitcom, back in the days when those happened. It didn't gain Charles In Charles's notoriety

The Torkelsons and The Hogans: The fate of both proved that there was only room for one Family Ties rip-off. And that was Growing Pains

Missing Persons: This one didn't even break a season on ABC, yet eventually "Without A Trace" enjoyed a lengthy run on CBS. Go figure

Likely Suspects: Each episode began with a murder, then we followed a fourth wall breaking homicide detective as he unmanned the killer. Wins points for not simply breaking the police procedural mold, but taking a jackhammer to it

Night Man: A straight to syndication superhero series, which went through the trouble of creating it's own character, rather than lifting one from the comic books. Noteworthy for that reason alone, even if the series was beyond lame

Hanging With Mr. Cooper: In the waning years of ABC's TGIF block of family friendly sitcoms, this was one of the few that gained traction and a loyal fan base. Weirdly unmentioned these days

Murder One: Steve Bocchco had ABC eating out of his hand in the early-mid 90s, owing to the success of NYPD Blue. They gave him the green light for this more experimental venture, which was sunk by a combination of low ratings and the star of the show's bowel movements. No, I'm not kidding; Bocch himself chronicles this at length in his autobiography

EZ Street: Received critical acclaim and barely any viewers. The similarly themed Wiseguy maintains a strong cult following to this day. EZS by contrast has been almost entirely forgotten

American Chronicles: The David Lynch series that wasn't Twin Peaks

Dellaventura: Danny Aielo as a former NYPD detective, now working as a PI. Word has it that the show was vapid to the point of inducing aneurysm's in viewers; even if the show had stronger writing and direction, the premise was already worn out on not only TV, but novels and movies as well

Hardball: I recall seeing this one, and remember Mike Starr being among the cast. Couldn't tell you anything else about it

Side Kicks: A Different Strokes/Karate Kid hybrid

Evening Shade: Burt Reynolds, in his one and only sitcom lead. This was around for a few seasons also, yet is also among those series that's barely mentioned anymore

Martial Law: Sammo Hung's one and only lead role in a Hollywood production of any sort. Lasted a couple of seasons at least. Hung seems to have left Tinseltown and returned to Hong Kong after it wrapped also

Three: The WB tried to repackage Mission Impossible and It Takes A Thief, only for a teen audience. Well, at least David Warner was in it

Acapulco Heat: Starred Fabio in an ensemble cast that revolved around what seemed to be private military contractors who were taking on organized crime instead of insurgents in some third world hell hole

LA Heat: A buddy cop show, starring the dude who played both the precinct captain in 21 Jump Street and X in The X Files, and some dude who apparently didn't make the cut for The Young And The Restless. It played for a couple of seasons on TNT

Dark Skies: Often cited as an X-Files rip-off, this one had far more in common with The Invaders. Critical reviews were favorable, but the public had had their fill of alien conspiracy yarns

The Brian Benben Show: Never saw it, but it's almost certainly as dopey as it sounds

The Chevy Chase Show, and The Magic Johnson Show: In this exact same order, FOX tried their hand at a late-night show, with these two at the helm

Haywire: A show that originated on local access TV in Seattle, but was renamed and picked up by FOX for a couple of seasons. Recall thinking that it was hilarious back then, though I don't know what my verdict would be if I saw it today

Broken Badges: The late Miguel Ferrer lead the cast with his hamfisted portrayal of a Cajun cop, who was leading a team of mentally ill cops who'd been thrown off the force, and were now taking off the book assignments that no one else wanted. Recall thinking it was pretty funny back then, and I believe a few episodes are up on YouTube. I have yet to revisit them though.

I was a fan of Dark Skies & Kindred back in the day.

Brimstone was a great show with a finite premise and still got cancelled.

Yes, but the finite premise still could have "required" up to 5 seasons or more to cover all 113 escapees. The show "A to Z" could basically only have 26 episodes, but it was cancelled after one season of 13.
