- CreatorAlfred GoughMiles MillarStarsTom WellingMichael RosenbaumAllison MackA young Clark Kent struggles to find his place in the world as he learns to harness his alien powers for good and deals with the typical troubles of teenage life in Smallville, Kansas.I watched this during its heyday.

- CreatorRobert BordenBruce HelfordGeorge LopezStarsGeorge LopezConstance MarieLuis Armand GarciaComedian George Lopez stars as a Los Angeles manufacturing plant manager attempting to deal with his wacky family along with random mishaps.I would sneak and stay up late to watch this on Nick at Nite, for no other reason than that it made me feel grown-up. It wasn't particularly funny, as I recall.

- CreatorHans BourlonGert VerhulstStarsBrad KavanaghJade RamseyTasie LawrenceWhen one of their number disappears on the same day that an American girl joins their ranks, a group of English boarding school students embarks on solving a mystery.This was silly.

- StarsDavid KayeJeff BennettBumper RobinsonTransformers crash land on present day Earth and inadvertently cause a technological revolution. They wake up 50 years later in a world where robots are used in everyday life. StarScream arrives looking for their AllSpark.Released to capitalize on the Michael Bay movies, this show transcended the source material. Weirdly, I had a crush on Optimus Prime.
- CreatorStan LeeSteve DitkoStarsChristopher Daniel BarnesSara BallantineEdward AsnerA young man with spider-like abilities fights crime as a superhero in New York City while trying to have a normal personal life.I loved the Sam Raimi movies, and they would play reruns of this on TV at around the same time those were coming out.

- CreatorLauren FaustCraig McCrackenMike MoonStarsKeith FergusonGrey GriffinSean MarquetteA boy and his beloved imaginary friend are able to stay together at an orphanage of sorts for imaginary friends that children have outgrown to be adopted by new children.Whoever came up with this show deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
- CreatorGene RoddenberryStarsWilliam ShatnerLeonard NimoyDeForest KelleyIn the 23rd Century, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S.
