Ah, telephemera… those shows whose stay with us was tantalisingly brief, snatched away before their time, and sometimes with good cause. They hit the schedules alongside established shows, hoping for a long run, but it’s not always to be, and for every Street Hawk there’s two Manimals. But here at STARBURST we celebrate their existence and mourn their departure, drilling down into the new season’s entertainment with equal opportunities square eyes… these are The Telephemera Years!

1995-96

The schedules were packed in 1995, with returns for all the hit sitcoms, teen shows, and crime dramas that had thrilled America during the previous year. Ellen, Grace Under Fire, Cybill, and Roseanne all provided strong female role models of varying types, while Mad About You, ER, and Friends were making Thursdays on NBC a must-see affair. For genre fans, Lois & Clark, The X-Files, Sliders, seaQuest 2032, and Star Trek: Voyager all returned, and there was genre-adjacent stuff to be found in Picket Fences and Walker Texas Ranger, both found on CBS in 1995.

As for new shows, the Earthbound aliens of 3^rd Rock from the Sun were taking their first steps on Terra Firma. Nash Bridges was doing whatever it was Nash Bridges did, and The Drew Carey Show’s “Cleveland Rocks!” theme song was stuck in everyone’s head. But what about those shows aimed at younger (and older, stoned) viewers? These is the story of 1995 in kids TV…

Santo Bugito (ABC): Developed by Klasky-Csupo – the production studio responsible for Rugrats, Duckman, and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters – and created by studio founder Arlene Klasky, Santo Bugito was set in the titular border town between Mexico and Texas, a community populated entirely by anthropomorphic insects.

Rather than be the stuff of nightmares, the show revolved around the everyday goings on of the townspeople, an America writ small with ant restaurateur Carmen de la Antchez as its main protagonist. With a voice cast that included Charles Adler and Cheech Marin (and guest spots from Jim Belushi, Arye Gross, and others), Santo Bugito explored such modern life problems as excessive litigation, urban crime, and generational differences, all through an insect-coloured lens.

Scored by former Devo musician Mark Mothersbaugh, the show was probably too adult for its captive child audience, and on too early to reach the demographic it was aimed at, and after it debuted on September 16^th 1995 in the 10.30am slot, only the show’s initial order of thirteen episodes aired.

There was no second season for this entomologist’s dream and the show became the studio’s first major failure. They soon bounced back with The Wild Thornberrys but the bloom was off the Klasky-Csupo rose. The complete run was released on DVD in 1999 and there are a few episodes on YouTube if you want to check it out.

The Adventures of Hyperman (CBS): Based on an interactive educational computer game, which was released on CD-ROM just before the series aired, The Adventures of Hyperman featured the titular alien superhero – voiced by Steve Mackall – attempting to save Earth from the attentions of his arch-enemy, Entrobe (voice acting god Frank Welker).

Aided by his canine sidekick Studd Puppy, and also by human scientist Emma C Squared, Hyperman foiled Entrobe’s schemes across twelve episodes which aired from November 4^th 1995 to February 3^rd 1996. There was a thirteenth episode, Two’s A Crowd/Promotion, but this didn’t see the light of day until August 1996, well after the decision had been made to not bring it back for a second season.

The show’s main problem was that it smacked of education, with early risers – it opened CBS’s Saturday morning schedule at 8am – unreceptive to such surreptitious schooling, even if it was mostly delivered by Sister Sister’s Tamera Mowry as Dr Squared. Tamera’s sister Tia turned up late in the run as Emma’s evil clone, and there were turns from Mayim Bialik, David Hyde-Pierce, and Bronson Pinchot, but their star power just wasn’t enough to save it from the chopping block

The show was never released on DVD but you can see episodes on YouTube which reveal a fun animation style and some great voice work. Unfortunately, it just couldn’t avoid the fact that Saturday morning is for slurping cereal and leaving your brain in the off position, not duplicitous tutelage.

The Mask, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (both CBS) and Dumb and Dumber (ABC): Jim Carrey was massive in the mid-1990s, with each of his films scoring big bucks and big yucks at the box office. With a parade of larger than life characters on his resume, Carrey was perfect for that staple of American popular culture, diversification through amplification, and so no fewer than three animated series starring characters from Carrey’s films made their debut on Saturday mornings in the Fall of 1995.

Although the only thing they shared was their lead actor (The Mask was based on a comic book, Dumb and Dumber was a Farrelly brothers creation, and Ace Ventura the result of a blind TV pitch), two of the three shows – The Mask and Ace Ventura – were paired together in a one-hour block on CBS, although the latter was a late start in December 1995. Hanna-Barbera’s Dumb and Dumber aired in an earlier time slot, and on ABC, and was the first of the shows to fall, in February 1996, when its thirteen-episode run had been exhausted.

None of the shows featured Carrey – or any of the movies’ stars – in their cast but fans of Matt Frewer could hear his unmistakable tones as Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber. The rest of the roles were filled by animation veterans, and there were even crossovers between the two CBS shows throughout their three-season runs, despite being produced by different animation studios.

Dumb and Dumber was released on DVD in 2015, and you can buy all the episodes on YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Google Play. Only three episodes of Ace Ventura have ever been released on DVD, packaged with the movies, but The Mask has its first season available on DVD, and all the episodes can be found alongside Dumb and Dumber in the usual places.

Freakazoid! (Kids WB): In early 1995, Bruce Timm and Paul Dini were riding high after the runaway success of Batman: The Animated Series and pitched their Warner Bros bosses on a new show, one of their own creation. Freakazoid! was intended to be a superhero action cartoon, with comic undertones, animated in the classic style developed by the studio as part of its late-century renaissance.

The central character was the alter-ego of nerdy teenager Dexter Douglas, who gained his powers after being infected by a computer virus and vowed to fight crime. Operating out of the Freakalair, and with mute butler Ingmar as his confidante, Freakazoid uses his various, seemingly random superpowers to thwart the schemes of such villains as The Lobe, Cave Guy, and Longhorn, all aided by his Hall of Nifty Things to Know.

When Timm and Dini’s proposal was put before executive producer Steven Spielberg, he felt that the balance was tilted too far away from out and out comedy and got director Tom Ruegger – along with the team responsible for Animaniacs – to tweak the premise. The resulting run fell between two stools, failing in the ratings, and the show was cancelled after just twenty-four episodes, split across one and a half seasons.

Since then, and despite Madman creator Mike Allred claiming the character resembled his wacky superhero too closely for comfort, it has gained a cult following and Freakazoid even popped up in an episode of Teen Titans Go! in 2020. The entire series was released on DVD in 2008 and 2009, and there are enough clips on video sharing sites to get enough of a taste that you’ll be adding them to your collection before you can say “Freak Out!”

1995-96

The schedules were packed in 1995, with returns for all the hit sitcoms, teen shows, and crime dramas that had thrilled America during the previous year. Ellen, Grace Under Fire, Cybill, and Roseanne all provided strong female role models of varying types, while Mad About You, ER, and Friends were making Thursdays on NBC a must-see affair. For genre fans, Lois & Clark, The X-Files, Sliders, seaQuest 2032, and Star Trek: Voyager all returned, and there was genre-adjacent stuff to be found in Picket Fences and Walker Texas Ranger, both found on CBS in 1995.

As for new shows, the Earthbound aliens of 3^rd Rock from the Sun were taking their first steps on Terra Firma. Nash Bridges was doing whatever it was Nash Bridges did, and The Drew Carey Show’s “Cleveland Rocks!” theme song was stuck in everyone’s head. But what about those shows that didn’t even make it to air? These are the stories of some of 1995’s unsold pilots…

White Dwarf (Fox): It used to be that the words “produced by Francis Ford Coppola” meant something but by 1995 all it bought you was a pilot, and so the fate of White Dwarf was in the hands of the network, who ultimately rejected it after its lacklustre opening gambit.

The ever-watchable Neal McDonagh played a medical student in the far-flung future of 3040, sent to complete his internship on the rural planet Rusta, which is permanently locked into halves of day and night. The hemispheres are divided by a wall erected as a result of a civil war which still rages between the 19^th century-level civilisation on the day side and the medieval kingdom of night, and McDonagh’s Dr Rampart is caught between the two when trying to administer his oath.

Directed by Peter Markle, a seasoned television director, and also starring Paul Winfield and Ele Keats, White Dwarf’s lofty ambitions were clear but muddied by its execution, with neither side being portrayed as being right or wrong, a dedication to fence-sitting that rendered the plot inert.

The pilot aired on Fox on May 23^rd 1995 but there was insufficient interest to take it to series, although it was successfully sold overseas as a standalone film. You can take to YouTube yourself to judge its merits, where it sits in a number of different cuts, even the bootleg upload not wanting to fix any sort of position…

Crowfoot (CBS): Crowfoot sounds brilliant, the story of a half-Native American detective who falls in love with the GHOST of the victim of his latest murder case, pledging to solve her murder and, well, it’s not clear what will happen once he’s done that…

Starring Jim Davidson (not that one) and Kate Hodge, CBS aired the pilot on June 7^th 1995 in its Wednesday Night Movie slot, with a possible series hinging on its reception. The film, directed by former Glen A Larson ensemble actor James Whitmore Jr, was scripted by Magnum, PI and Airwolf creator Donald P Belisario, and hopes must have been high that its mix of drama and romance would prove a hit with lonely housewives.

However, it sunk without trace after its initial airing and has disappeared into obscurity, the only footage available as part of a review by Allison Pregler’s Obscurus Lupa Presents, and this reveals the end product to overly-earnest and too glossy, although Davidson’s hair is lovely.

W.E.I.R.D. World (Fox): There are three types of unsold pilot. The first are the ones that you genuinely cannot believe were not picked up to series, even if those kind of shows rarely make it beyond a dozen episodes before being cancelled, while the second type consist of those shows you can’t believe even made it that far, such are the demerits of their concept and plot. The third type is more perhaps even more frustrating than the first, the shows that seem like a no-brainer but the execution of which results in a damp squib or a confusing mess, death by a thousand interfering network executives.

W.E.I.R.D. World falls squarely in the third category, a wide-open concept that, in the right hands, could have been a multi-season hit. Produced by the creative team of Gilbert Adler, Richard Donner, David Giler, Walter Hill, Alan Katz, Joel Silver, and Robert Zemeckis, the film was handed a $1.8 million budget but found that cut in half on day one of filming, resulting in script changes and cut corners that seriously hampered its production.

Additionally, the project was saddled with Married… With Children’s Ed O’Neill as the director of the titular Wilson Emery Institute for Research and Development, a decision mandated by Fox but not met with enthusiasm by anyone else, least of all O’Neill himself. O’Neil’s Dr Monochian oversaw a young cast of scientists, as brilliant as they were emotionally unstable, who combined their investigations into cutting edge, fringe science with trysts, conspiracies, and the occasional murder.

With Twin Peaks’ Dana Ashbrook heading up a cast of good-looking newcomers, it should have been an easy sell to the younger audience Fox specialised in but director William Malone was unable to pull together a coherent enough narrative in the face of adversity and Fox declined to pick up W.E.I.R.D. World for a series after airing the pilot in September 1995. It was never released on home video and YouTube only carries a trailer so memories of the original are all we have; a shame since this could have been something weirdly special.

The Invaders (Fox): Both a sequel to and a reimagining of the original 1967 series, The Invaders starts with Scott Bakula’s former US Air Force officer in prison for manslaughter, where he meets David Vincent, the principle of the 1967 series. Vincent – a welcome return to Roy Thinnes – convinces him of a conspiracy to cover up an alien invasion, and when Bakula’s Nolan Wood is released he becomes caught up in an alien plot to kill a presidential candidate.

Unlike most of the failed series, which get a feature-length pilot to test the waters, The Invaders was expanded to a four-episode mini-series, intended to trail a longer run, although it’s understood that Bakula had not signed on should that be the case. Instead, this was an exercise in world building, expanding the premise of the original series into a wider narrative that explained the aliens’ long-term intentions for our planet.

The problem with The Invaders lies in what it isn’t rather than what it is, in that – simply – it’s not The X-Files, which had set the world ablaze with its mix of the paranormal, conspiracy, and they “will they or won’t they?” relationship of Agents Mulder and Scully. For all Bakula’s qualities, he – and Ellen Garza as a nurse caught up in the web of intrigue with him – were just not David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and so once the mini-series had run its course, the idea of a full series for The Invaders seemed quaint.

The mini-series was released on DVD a few months after it aired but is long out of print; however, the full two-and-a-half-hour story is available on YouTube, should you need an overlong manual to deal with any bendy-fingered alien invaders…

The Omen (Fox): An attempt to revive the devilish franchise that had produced ever-diminishing returns since the original 1976 movie, The Omen made the brave move of ignoring everything that had come before, even the basic concept of the series, which saw the ante-Christ raised by a US diplomat, eventually reaching an influential government position.

Instead, the antagonist of the 1995 version of The Omen was a vague demonic entity able to possess successive bodies, leaving a trail of mystery and mayhem in its wake as it plans to detonate a biological weapon during the annual St Patrick’s Day parade. The only people who can stop it are an epidemiologist, a photojournalist, and an ER nurse and as the spirit grows and feeds on the fear it creates, their chances look slim!

The Omen wasn’t actually a bad pilot, and the concept had legs that could have taken it to at least a thirteen-episode series and perhaps beyond, but despite the best efforts of director Jack Shoulder and stars Brett Cullen, William Sadler, and Chelsea Field, it just never comes together in any kind of compelling way.

Perhaps it might have fared better if it wasn’t called The Omen, since there was no chance that – under that name – it would ever escape the legacy of the series, good and bad, and when Fox declined to take it to series there were probably few outside the immediate cast and crew who mourned its loss. It was never released on home video and is never talked of when the franchise is discussed, but it can be seen on YouTube if you want to complete the series. Just look out for those panes of glass, will you?

1995-96

The schedules were packed in 1995, with returns for all the hit sitcoms, teen shows, and crime dramas that had thrilled America during the previous year. Ellen, Grace Under Fire, Cybill, and Roseanne all provided strong female role models of varying types, while Mad About You, ER, and Friends were making Thursdays on NBC a must-see affair. For genre fans, Lois & Clark, The X-Files, Sliders, seaQuest 2032, and Star Trek: Voyager all returned, and there was genre-adjacent stuff to be found in Picket Fences and Walker Texas Ranger, both found on CBS in 1995.

As for new shows, the Earthbound aliens of 3^rd Rock from the Sun were taking their first steps on Terra Firma. Nash Bridges was doing whatever it was Nash Bridges did, and The Drew Carey Show’s “Cleveland Rocks!” theme song was stuck in everyone’s head. But what about those shows that failed to gain a grip on the collective imagination of the American people? This is the story of four more flops from 1995…

Dweebs (CBS): Twelve years before The Big Bang Theory (and eleven before The IT Crowd), Peter Noah – who would later midwife Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing into a beautiful baby show – created Dweebs, the story of four socially inept computer programmers whose lives are upset by the arrival of a comely office manager.

With Farrah Forke in place as Carey, and Corey Feldman leading a gang of nerds that also included future Goldbergs principal Stephen Toblowsky, the cast was completed by Peter Scolari as Warren Mosbey, the genius company owner (and least geeky of the make leads, making a human-dweeb relationship at least somewhat possible).

Heading up CBS’s Friday night line-up, with The Bonnie Hunt Show and Picket Fences following quickly on its heels, Dweebs was expected to kick things off with a bang but American TV audiences weren’t quite ready for the misadventures of a gang of inhaler-wielding misfits and their inability to be around a sexy female (or, indeed, any female).

Just seven of the ten completed episodes aired, although the full run got a 2am outing on ITV in the UK, and it was never released on VHS or DVD. There aren’t even many clips available on video-sharing sites and so you’ll have to take STARBURST’s word that it was really very funny indeed.

Space: Above and Beyond (Fox): With The Simpsons and Married… With Children anchoring their Sunday night line-up, Fox decided to kick things off in 1995 with a new show helmed by Glen Morgan and James Wong, two young writers who had cut their teeth on 21 Jump Street before writing many of The X-Files’s best-loved episodes from its first two seasons.

Morgan and Wong created Space: Above and Beyond, envisaging a five-year arc which would take the misfit 58^th Wildcards regiment from their initial skirmishes with the alien Chigs, through humanity’s complicated relationship with the former slave race Silicates, and involving the machinations of all-powerful corporation Aero-Tech, and built an impressive world book for the show, which was sold internationally in over thirty markets, including the UK where it aired on both Sky One and BBC2.

With Kristen Cloke leading a cast that also included former Star Trek: TNG ensemble member Larei Chapman and a whole host of unknowns, Space soon attracted a hardcore following that bought into the intrigue and action laid out on screen by Morgan and Wong, but unfortunately there weren’t enough of them to justify the show’s considerable budget and the producers were told ahead of time that there would be no second season.

This did at least give them time to wrap things up neatly, and although it’s an example of another show with great promise taken well before its time was up, a watch-through on DVD at least gives you a semi-satisfying sense of closure. Sadly, Morgan and Wong would make such shows their stock in trade, despite enjoying success with the Final Destination franchise.

Nowhere Man (UPN): Heralded by TV Guide as “this season’s coolest hit,” Nowhere Man starred Bruce Greenwood – who’d come to fame in St Elsewhere and Knot’s Landing – as Thomas Veil, a journalist who wakes up one day to discover that his whole life has been erased. Not only do his friends and colleagues not recognise him, but his wife also doesn’t know who he is and is living with another man.

Believing it to be linked to a photograph he took a year before of US soldiers committing war crimes in South America, Veil goes on the run, trying to prove his existence while being chased by a shadowy organisation. There’s a hell of a twist at the end of season one, which would have set up a completely different show going forward, but viewers never got to see it, the show being cancelled after its twenty-fifth episode aired in May 1996.

Critics, however, were united in hailing the show, with Entertainment Weekly saying, “it starts with a bang and keeps going from there,” while the LA Times wrote, “it’s not only suspenseful and mystifying but also challenging and tantalizing, initially offering viewers a single, obtuse clue to the ordeal that is frustrating Veil.” Ratings, though, were not good, only earning half the viewers of UPN’s top-rated show, Star Trek: Voyager.

The complete series was released on DVD in 2005, and its themes of erasure and being hunted are positively redolent of such shows as The Fugitive and The Prisoner, tied up in a slick conspiracy package. Creator Lawrence Herzog died sadly young, after just one more series – Painkiller Jane – had made it to air.

Strange Luck (Fox): “People say I’m… lucky. It all began in a plane crash thirty years ago. One hundred and six lives ending in a single heartbeat. No one survived… except me.” So went the opening narration to Strange Luck, which debuted on Fox on Friday nights from September 1995, telling the tale of a freelance photographer who has a strange habit of being in the wrong place at the right time.

Having made a splash starring in low-budget alien abduction flick Fire in the Sky, DB Sweeney was given his first feature TV role as Chance Harper, his every move seemingly the result of good or bad luck. Harper tries to navigate through a life complicated by such fortunes, searching for his long-lost brother, taken from the family shortly before a plane crash which killed everyone on board – except Chance.

Fans described Strange Luck as an adult companion to Eerie, Indiana, and it’s easy to see why, with Harper having to deal with such ridiculous episodes as two men fighting over a potato that looks like Elvis, and warning messages delivered through ATMs, but Sweeney had to deal with far more sinister fare, all murders and conspiracies – a friend even tells him to get in touch with FBI Agent Fox Mulder!

Ratings didn’t hold up, however, and Strange Luck was cancelled with just seventeen episodes aired, in February 1996. There was no home video release but the complete series is on YouTube and it ends on a tantalising cliffhanger, setting up a second season which will never, ever arrive…
