The German answer to Startrek TOS. Unfortunately short-lived (though with a completed story arc) and not leading to successor shows. So far it seems every revival attempt failed.

*nods* I very much remember it.
I am actually honoring it in STO. My Vulcan's first officer is a "Commander Allister McLane" (Allister having been the middle name of Cliff McLane).
The old show on Nick back when I was a wee lad. Space Quest or something? Remember it was a bird shaped ship called the Christa or something like that and that they had an alien from each world on it, can kinda remember some of the characters. Primarily the one kid, Bova or something similar that could shock stuff with this wishbone shaped thing on his head.
I also remember that like the second or third season they pulled a power ranges move and added a new character that was like 40X better than the rest in every way possible, telepathic, telekinetic, and had gills to breath just about everything the others couldn't. Suzy I think?
My gods, it has been so long... in an odd way the inner child in me still misses that show dearly and I am not even sure of the name.
Transformers: Robots in Disguise. Even among Transformers fans it's sometimes known as "the forgotten series," having been sandwiched between the Beast Era and the Unicron Trilogy. It also had the misfortune of coming only a few days before the 9/11 attacks and as a result, several episodes were cut from the broadcast order. The series was also considerably more light-hearted than even the G1 series was, partly because Takara usually targets Transformers to a younger audience than Hasbro generally does.
Amoung Transformers fans, RiD is probably best known as a "breather series," it had previously been released as "Car Robots" in Japan and Hasbro imported the designs while they decided where they wanted to go after Beast Machines crashed and burned. The series is notable for taking Transformers back to its roots in some respects, bringing back the Autobots and Decepticons as antogonists (although the latter were a "subgroup" of the main villians, the Predacons). It also represent the first complete reboot of Transformers fiction as it had absolutely no connection to G1 history (the Beast Wars cartoon started out this way, be gradually changed over the course of its first season). While Takara would try to shoehorn Car Robots into the G1 universe, Hasbro's stance remains that RiD is a serperate continuity from the other Transformers series.

Space: Above and Beyond
edit:changed "best moments" to a better version of the clip.
Definatly time for a remake
The only reason I even know about that show is because Nicole De Boer was in it.
ps: if you dont know who she is then watch season seven of Deep Space nine, NOW!
I'd have to go with Automan, since it is probably the most obscure of my obscure sci-fi favorites.
[edit] another intro
PS: some awesome memories in this thread.

Hey!
You're only supposed to choose one.
Otherwise I would have also listed Manimal, The Powers of Matthew Star, The Highwayman (Yay Jacko!), and the Misfits of Science (my fav as a kid).
I have the box set of UFO. It is great. Still can't get my wife to wear the skin tight silver outfit and the purple wig.
As far as forotten series I would have to go with Cliffhanger particularly "The Secret Empire"
And Hard Time on Planet Earth

It was a joke. Clearly a poor one.
I do. It was an ok show.
This thread also made me think of Space 1999.
In that show, it really was a moon and not a space station. Or maybe it was both.
The one good episode that Crusade had was the "X-Files" homage with the Cigarrette Smoking alien showing up at teh end
