Over the years (or decades, to be more accurate), there's been some sci-fi shows on TV that ran a few episodes, then the show was cancelled and quickly forgotten.

Anybody recall "The Phoenix"? About an ancient astronaut that awakens and goes on a search for something or other. Also "Something Is Out There", about an alien teaming up with a cop to fight crime or other bad aliens. One could go on ("Threshold", "Surface", "Dark Skies", "Earth 2", etc.). One show that I enjoyed watching when I was in high school was "Project U.F.O.", which was a take on the US Air Force's Project Blue Book. Of course, the special effects were typical 1970's, but hey, I was 17. Anyone remember that one?

I dont really recall any of those but I love to learn about them. I'm finding that I'm having my teenager child hood of classic TV in my 30s. I'm still going through Buck Rogers!

i watched them all... loved The Phoenix... i wanted his amalit that he wore...LOL

I don't remember those.... the ones that come to my mind are:
-Street Hawk
-Automan

I remember the short lived series 'Saphire & Steel'

I recall I think all of those. Is The Phoenix the guy that was the 2nd in command to Kahn from Star Trek. If so that series was around 1982 or 83. The rest I recall very much so.

The 1977 release TV version of Planet of the Apes, Clerks the cartoon.

"Once a Hero" I owned at one point all of the costumes. A very cool looking super hero like suit. I had 7 of the suits and that is more than aired episodes.

I remember Project UFO and Earth 2.......Here's one for ya that fits right in!
Obscure and didn't last but a few episodes but I loved it!

It's been so long now I can't remember if this one was a spin off of JOSC or the other way around

1977 Space Academy

This one was one of my favorites! also obscure and just a few episodes.

1979 Salvage 1


Starring Andy Griffith ...the original pilot was called just Salvage latter changed to Salvage 1 for the series.

I recall that episode very well. Andy did a demo on how the rocket would launch in a sports car. They went to the moon if I recall. It lasted a few sessions didn't it.
