Yeah man I did and platypus man is actually pretty good. The concept could have worked if the studio didn't much about but I still liked what it was, as someone who actually watched it I feel like that opinion is slightly valid. Like the content here but you seem to just read about a thing online without informing your own opinion and it's a bit of a setback to some of the shows you talk about. The condescending way you present the thing makes no one want to check it out. Iunno mayne work on that. Cruel ain't comedy.
as a teen in 1995, I watched the TTAFFBH when I could catch it. Also, I liked Richard Jeni's Platapus Man stand up special, so I TRIED to watch the show, but it was basically Seinfeld if they never hired the supporting cast. i didn't watch Hawkeye, but I became aware of it while reading the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic books, which mentioned the main character being a former member of the League.
Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills was created by an executive on coke who had a resentment against TMNT and Power Rangers and said “Pshhh I could make a show like that in my sleep!” but he never slept bcuz he was on coke and this show is the end result
I met Richard Jeni at a random party in Vegas. We collided by chance due to party traffic in a confined space, and the first words out of my mouth were " Hey! It's Platypus Man!". He was such a nice guy! The party we were attending wasn't super conducive to normal human conversation, but he stopped the traffic to talk. Everyone had to walk around us while we talked about comedy and through a few riffs back and forth. He was so genuine, and funny! AND he set me and my friends up with front-row tickets to his show the next night! AND he busted our chops during the act. So much fun!
Watched a ton of TV in 95 and have absolutely no recollection of Madman of the People. I do remember Cynthia Gibb from the Rob Lowe hockey drama Youngblood, an absolute classic
I remember it vaguely. Dabney Coleman had the worst luck with sitcoms. I heard he had a couple of shows in the 80s, which were really good but too dark.
Strangely enough, Madman of the People did a three-part story along with Friends and Mad About You, where a blackout hits New York City. The only member of the Thursday night line up to abstain from doing the blackout storyline was Seinfeld, which made no logistical sense because they had already established that Seinfeld, Friends, and Mad About You took place in the same continuity with characters crossing over between the three shows.
I thought I had seen all the episodes of Seinfeld but I can’t remember any references to the other shows. I didn’t get into Mad About You, but I’d read that Phoebe’s twin Ursula was on it.
@@keithtorgersen9664 Yes, there was an episode in season 1 where you find out that before marrying Jamie (Helen Hunt), Paul Buchman (Paul Reiser) lived in the apartment directly across from Jerry Seinfeld, and when he moved, he subleased the apartment to Kramer.
I remember this, including Chandler trapped in the ATM vestibule with "Something Goodacre", and Al Roker's (fake) reports on the blackout, where he said something like "the power is fixed temporarily for Seinfeld", yet have no memory of Madman of the People whatsoever.
Pretty much! It was produced because of the popularity of the movie "Last of The Mohicans" with Daniel Day-Lewis that had been released a few years before.
UPN had some _HORRIBLE_ shows when it first debuted (anyone remember _Homeboys From Outer Space_ ?) They would have been better off just showing _Star Trek: Voyager_ every night...
I remember watching Madman of the People. I remember nothing about it, apparently, but I do remember watching and being surprised it was cancelled despite part of NBC’s Must See TV Thursdays.
Madman must of been before my MUST-SEE TV time because I recall shows like Single Guy, Boston Common, Caroline, and Veronica’s Closet being a part of the lineup but not this one lol
It was the 2nd yr after Seinfeld replaced cheers, Frasier moved to Tue. To hang with John Lauraquat, and Wings, Thur was. mad about you/friends/Seinfeld/mad man/er. Mad man was a hit but was after tvs #1 show so #14 was not good and it was hurting er, so in January friends took the 930 slot giving nbc top 3 shoes on the night...leading to friends become the 8p staple the following yr. If it's any consultation, 2 yrs earlier the 1 2 punch of drexle and simpsons helped take cosby off the air
Glad I found this channel It's been hitting a lot of my nostalgia triggers, for lack of a better term, for weeks or months now. No complaints. It had reminded me of a lot of shows I enjoyed and even brought some I hardly remembered to the fore of my mind.
I was born in late 80s and grew up watching lots of TV in the 90s but I have not heard of any of these. I have recently been watching the 1957 series "Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans" so I'll have to check out that Hawkeye series to see what it is like and how it compares, especially since I liked Linda Carter and watched Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess and never missed them when they were on.
The difference was when you bought a National Enquirer or a weekly world news you knew what you were getting and that's why you bought it because it was satire it was like buying a Mad magazine or a Cracked magazine it wasn't clickbait you knew exactly what you were getting and I loved weekly world news that s*** was hilarious
@msdouglas12100 I recently found the Soundtrack CD from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman on CD which is a rare promo! It was set to be released but got pushed back at the last minute for licencing. 🤗💽🙏👍
TV execs in 1994: "Alright, we gotta make a show the kids will love. Larry! What do kids watch these days?" "Uh, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is popular." "Great. Dave, whatchu got?" "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?" "I'm sensing a theme here. Bill, you got daughters, what do they watch?" "All I hear about day and night is this Beverly Hills, 90210 show. Apparently the guys are dreamy." "Gentlemen, I believe we have a show. Or at least I have a title in mind. Now, who wants cocaine?"
@@TheReviewStudios You mentioned Hercules and Xena. Xena Warrior Princess which spunoff from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys but there were actually a couple spinoffs from those shows. Captain Zoom: Adventures In Outer Space which didn't go beyond it's 2 hour movie. Not to mention Jack Of All Trades and Cleopatra 2525. Both spinoffs were cancelled after two-seasons. Bruce Campbell was on Jack Of All Trades and another cancelled series The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Not to mention he was in The Evil Dead movie franchise as Ash Williams. 🦸♂🦹📺🐎💀
@@multitudeofidols Well they were still popular maybe not as popular and continued to be apart of CBS Saturday Morning until being cancelled in 1996. So the final two seasons with the red sky were from 1994 to 1996🐢📺🎥🎬
I just found this channel tonight and I absolutely love it! These shows were generally a little bit before my time but I love learning about them. It's interesting how for every "big name" show that makes it into the cultural canon, there are 10 or 20 more that fade into obscurity, and some of the shows are real gems, and others are real stinkers! They're both great in their own way. Anyway, this channel is right up my alley, and I really appreciate how well you research the information and present it, absolutely top notch. Definitely subscribed. Keep up the good work :)
10:32 Ethan Phillips prior to getting cast as Neelix on Voyager. As for Jeni, I only came to know of him after that episode of Family Guy where Peter was having a dirty dream of Jeni. Sad how he went out though.
If you and your super fighter team members can combine into one giant super fighter, you should probably just do that at the beginning of the fight instead of waiting to see if your opponent is too powerful for you to defeat while separated. You would limit the risk of an individual super fighter being incapacitated or killed and a number of opponents might just give up or retreat at the beginning of the altercation.
I never could understand the idea of Teenagers being Superheroes. You can barely get a teen to clean their room much less fight intergalactic criminals.
In the 90s there was about 40 shows that tried to rip off the premise of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and spin it in some other way as to not get sued just like today when a show hits gold everybody else tries to jump in the mine this however was another Saban one which was just basically a Power Rangers rip off which Power Rangers was a Voltron ripoff yeah there was like 20 different versions of Power Rangers that weren't Power Rangers
Well, I think that Hawkeye was a series that, although it did not have the expected success, had an appropriate duration for the story it wanted to tell and personally I liked it a lot, each story was very well told, good episodes, good performances and with a development at the end that was good for the story
I loved it! Still rewatch in the winter because I associate it with that season. It was winter in many episodes plus, when it was first on , we had snow on the ground in PA for four months straight. I really wish it got a season 2 though! I'd like to add that the Hudson Valley, and NY in general, is not New England as this video claims.
I wonder how Richard jenni could be so great at stand up and have such a bad tv show, but then i remember john mulaney's attempt. Sometimes great comedians don't need the tv, or it doesn't translate
I remember a scene where Dabney Coleman was arguing with his boss for Knicks tickets. I thought it was Drexel's Class, but maybe it was Madman of the People. I really remember the weirdest things sometimes lol
Madman followed seinfield on thur nights, Drexel was after Simpsons on thur nights. With got good ratings but lost to much from the hit show they where after
Yeah, sorry to hear the sad news. Thank you for checking us out. We covered several shows he's in recently. A great screen presence. And funny too! Hope we went easy on the guy.
The Edge sounds very familiar and reminded me of that show Nickelodeon’s Roundhouse which had a dad with a powered lazy boy chair. Shxt was dope af fr 😂
They should have spun off DAG’s character from Martin the Rev. Leon Lonnie Love! He loses his church and has to go live with a relative and his/her family in another city and deals with how he was once a good clergyman who lost his way and now has to find redemption.
I watched lots of television back then. You think I would of caught one of these things. David Alan Grier. i loved his stuff. He did a short-lived show with Damon Wayans and I remember that one. Oh well.
Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters is just one of many Power Rangers knockoffs, Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad featuring a teenage Matthew Lawrence, Big Bad Beetleborgs, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, to name a few
@@brandonpage7087 I had thought of that one, but it wasn't quite a rip-off the same way those other ones were, because VR Troopers took original footage from another Japanese show different from Power Rangers. The same is true for Masked Rider.
4:00 *TTAFBH- Reminds me heavily of the TMNT knock off **_Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters_* 😹 Fun memories reading those & ElfQuest, Alien Legion, Samurai, Elektra, swords of the swashbucklers, elementals on the schoolbus.
Hawkeye was doomed by the fact that it aired on the brand new and struggling UP network, which lacked local affiliates in many areas as well as high production costs.
I seem to remember seeing Hawkeye on at my late Aunt's house when we visited around that time, she was a fan of that genre so it wouldn't surprise me if that's what it was.
Yes! We had originally slated it to be paired with the Platypus Man segment but we had so many titles from 1995 that it just got old and we moved on 😅👍 . Maybe we'll make a list in the future of all these titles we've had to unfortunately set aside. Thanks for watching and for commenting too!
I remember the teenage alien fighters from Beverly Hills. I used to watch this super early before school. I would wake up at 5 in the morning to watch this. It was honestly better than the MMPR
With the exception of Madman of the People and Platypus Man the rest are decidedly obscure and even as I loved through all of the decade of the 90's, I somehow missed the rest of these shows from 1995, entirety. As it is I actually never got around to knowing Platypus Man beyond its promo commercials and I never actually saw a whole episode of Madman of the People. I don't know exactly which year Pigstuy came out but I was far more familiar with that one. Especially since Liz Vassey was so incredibly hot that I just had to tune in. Btw Herman's Head and Key West were far more notable to me, all told.
I must have been completely confused but I could have sworn that "Madman of the People" was about the lead guy being some kind of murderer. The comedy was based on how he either accidentally killed someone or he had to in self defense or whatever, but everyone just saw him as a murderer and avoided him at all costs, leading to hilarious situations. He would occasionally even make jokes about killing someone again. I don't know why anyone would make that the premise of a comedy but it was the 90's and I don't know why anything was anything back then.
Hey this is the guy who wrote the Madman piece. Listen .. you're not crazy! That sounds SO familiar but I can't pinpoint anything more specific on it. Didn't have any luck searching around. So either we're both crazy or someone will enlighten us in a comment. It's likely something embarrassingly obvious so prepare yourself for that 😅👍. It happens. For example, I could never find Get a Life because for some reason , at whatever age I was, I had convinced myself the show was called The Paperboy. So my searches would take me further and further from any vague memories I had of late night glimpses I caught between antenna battles.
@@TheReviewStudios The mandela effect is so annoying. As far as the "The Paperboy," I would assume it's because Chris Elliot was a paperboy on the show and also he was well known for starring in the 1994 comedy movie, "Cabin Boy." So I could see those getting mixed together. Although nothing will beat my absolute conviction that there was a genie movie called, "Shazam" that came out around the same time as the Shaq genie movie "Kazaam."
David Allen Grier has to hold the record for being on the most FAILED TV Shows or something. Only show he did that ran its course was "in living color" Coincidence? I think NOT!
Oh man the Preston episodes was hard to watch. Even the promotional ads were very low effort. David Allen Grier is always on point, but it was painfully obvious that Fox put their worst writers on the show. My brother liked platypus man but I found it to be boring. I was 15 at the time and was more interested in gaming and comics. However Thursdays and Fridays were tv time with the must see tv and TGIF.😊
Never saw "Madman Of The People," but I do remember Hollyweird trying so very desperately to make a Dabney Coleman sitcom a thing. He had 4, count 'em, FOUR single-season flops in 11 years. Credit where it's due, though, he was great in the nighttime soap/mini-series parody "Fresno," but then the whole mini-series was just top-shelf comedy! I remember the David Allen Grier show. They wanted to make him both the lead AND whacky. If they'd just let him be the straight man, a la Bob Newhart, it might have worked. He was GREAT on "In Living Color!" Oi! I missed a series with Lynda Carter looking that hot?! ARGH!!! 😢
Well, only one I am familiar with to some extend is Tattooed Teenage, only because dad had 1 episode on VHS. The other 4, never heard of them, but looks like Hawkeye I was the most successful in finding on UA-cam, the whole series, Platypus Man, could only find 2 episodes, and the other 3, at least most of them. Anyways, thank you for this, did enjoy it.

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills is the most 90s name ever
I actually kind of liked it when it ran. No clue why but I did.
clearly trying to coattail TMNT with the name and power rangers with the premise 🤦♂️
I would have watched it if the aliens had used Bill and Ted from San Dimas. 😊
Hahaha I remember watching it in college with my roommate , it was hilariously bad.
Power Rangers rip-off.
Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills was created by an executive on coke who had a resentment against TMNT and Power Rangers and said “Pshhh I could make a show like that in my sleep!” but he never slept bcuz he was on coke and this show is the end result

That's awesome 😂😂
I wouldn't doubt it. My time with executives in the mid to late 90s tells me they all laid off of the coke as much.
Grew up watching it before school in the 90s on the USA network
How can Hawkeye be a failure? Lynda Carter in a corset....

Richard Jeni was one of the best comedians of all time He deserved better RIP 😔
Had tickets to see him in the Chicago area right before he died. Show was canceled due to health reasons, little did we know what those reasons were.

I remember watching Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters when I was a kid it's great and I wish that a second season would happen. 😀👍
Nice
Anyone remember the sketch comedy shows “The Edge” & “Haywire?” Who remembers “Hi Honey I’m Home?”
The Edge sounds very familiar
and reminded me of that show Nickelodeon’s Roundhouse which had a dad with a powered lazy boy chair. Shxt was dope af fr 😂
I remember hi honey I'm home too thought that show could've lasted
HHIH had the "Turnerizer", a device that changed the home from color to Black&White in stressful times.
Eont remember any of these, but the green tattooed teenager is thick
I need 2 go rub 1 out
They should have spun off DAG’s character from Martin the Rev. Leon Lonnie Love! He loses his church and has to go live with a relative and his/her family in another city and deals with how he was once a good clergyman who lost his way and now has to find redemption.
I don't remember Dabney Coleman's "Madman of the people ", but I do remember "Drexel's Class". I liked that show.
I watched lots of television back then. You think I would of caught one of these things. David Alan Grier. i loved his stuff. He did a short-lived show with Damon Wayans and I remember that one. Oh well.
You must be referring to the one season series Damon, which i'm sure will eventually be covered by this channel.
I actually liked Drexler's class when I was younger.
There are bits of it on UA-cam. It's still better than a lot of stuff they're putting out now 😅👍.
I gratuated High School that year. Not much tv viewing was on my schedule. Too busy having fun and working.
I'm 41: I Loved Dabney Coleman in Everything, I Don't know why: He Would have made a Good J. J. Jameson.
I remember Platypus Man and the show that followed it, Pigsty.
Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters is just one of many Power Rangers knockoffs, Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad featuring a teenage Matthew Lawrence, Big Bad Beetleborgs, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, to name a few
Don't forget VR Troopers.
@@brandonpage7087 I had thought of that one, but it wasn't quite a rip-off the same way those other ones were, because VR Troopers took original footage from another Japanese show different from Power Rangers. The same is true for Masked Rider.
4:00 *TTAFBH- Reminds me heavily of the TMNT knock off **_Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters_* 😹
Fun memories reading those & ElfQuest, Alien Legion, Samurai, Elektra, swords of the swashbucklers, elementals on the schoolbus.
I’ve been watching Hawkeye on Freebee, and it’s a GREAT show. I have no idea why it got cancelled!
Madman of the People was canceled for the stupidest reason: the critics didn’t like it
Well done as always…
Yeah!!
I remember madman of the people
Hawkeye was doomed by the fact that it aired on the brand new and struggling UP network, which lacked local affiliates in many areas as well as high production costs.
Superhuman Samurai was dope! I don’t remember the Tattooed Teenage show lol
Watched Hawkeye quite a bit when I was a kid.
I seem to remember seeing Hawkeye on at my late Aunt's house when we visited around that time, she was a fan of that genre so it wouldn't surprise me if that's what it was.
Most of us only heard of tattooed teenage alien fighters cause of Dragon Ball Abriged.
Only remember Hawkeye. But then the 90's are my lost decade. Wasn't exactly sober for most of those years.
I remember these shows but Platypus Man was the only show here I've watched.
Pig Sty was another good short show which came on along with Platypus Man on the new network UPN.
Yes! We had originally slated it to be paired with the Platypus Man segment but we had so many titles from 1995 that it just got old and we moved on 😅👍 . Maybe we'll make a list in the future of all these titles we've had to unfortunately set aside. Thanks for watching and for commenting too!
I remember the teenage alien fighters from Beverly Hills. I used to watch this super early before school. I would wake up at 5 in the morning to watch this. It was honestly better than the MMPR
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Such awesome-looking shows!
Thank You
Droopy Master Detective and Sonic Sat AM were staples of my 3rd grade viewings.
With the exception of Madman of the People and Platypus Man the rest are decidedly obscure and even as I loved through all of the decade of the 90's, I somehow missed the rest of these shows from 1995, entirety. As it is I actually never got around to knowing Platypus Man beyond its promo commercials and I never actually saw a whole episode of Madman of the People. I don't know exactly which year Pigstuy came out but I was far more familiar with that one. Especially since Liz Vassey was so incredibly hot that I just had to tune in. Btw Herman's Head and Key West were far more notable to me, all told.
I must have been completely confused but I could have sworn that "Madman of the People" was about the lead guy being some kind of murderer. The comedy was based on how he either accidentally killed someone or he had to in self defense or whatever, but everyone just saw him as a murderer and avoided him at all costs, leading to hilarious situations. He would occasionally even make jokes about killing someone again. I don't know why anyone would make that the premise of a comedy but it was the 90's and I don't know why anything was anything back then.
Hey this is the guy who wrote the Madman piece. Listen .. you're not crazy! That sounds SO familiar but I can't pinpoint anything more specific on it. Didn't have any luck searching around. So either we're both crazy or someone will enlighten us in a comment. It's likely something embarrassingly obvious so prepare yourself for that 😅👍. It happens. For example, I could never find Get a Life because for some reason , at whatever age I was, I had convinced myself the show was called The Paperboy. So my searches would take me further and further from any vague memories I had of late night glimpses I caught between antenna battles.
@@TheReviewStudios The mandela effect is so annoying.
As far as the "The Paperboy," I would assume it's because Chris Elliot was a paperboy on the show and also he was well known for starring in the 1994 comedy movie, "Cabin Boy." So I could see those getting mixed together.
Although nothing will beat my absolute conviction that there was a genie movie called, "Shazam" that came out around the same time as the Shaq genie movie "Kazaam."
Well i was 11 this year and dont remember many of these lol
David Allen Grier has to hold the record for being on the most FAILED TV Shows or something. Only show he did that ran its course was "in living color" Coincidence? I think NOT!
He was the dad on some show where he's a conservative father with a liberal daughter-in-law. It ran three seasons.
Unless it was Friends, Frasier, ER or Melrose Place, I was too busy living life! 😂
Same. My last year of pre-med.
Drexel’s Class was a good show but I can’t recall Madman of the People, though.
Loved the segment that showed Harrison Ford's movie debut.
Cool right
Oh man the Preston episodes was hard to watch. Even the promotional ads were very low effort. David Allen Grier is always on point, but it was painfully obvious that Fox put their worst writers on the show. My brother liked platypus man but I found it to be boring. I was 15 at the time and was more interested in gaming and comics. However Thursdays and Fridays were tv time with the must see tv and TGIF.😊
Never saw "Madman Of The People," but I do remember Hollyweird trying so very desperately to make a Dabney Coleman sitcom a thing. He had 4, count 'em, FOUR single-season flops in 11 years. Credit where it's due, though, he was great in the nighttime soap/mini-series parody "Fresno," but then the whole mini-series was just top-shelf comedy!
I remember the David Allen Grier show. They wanted to make him both the lead AND whacky. If they'd just let him be the straight man, a la Bob Newhart, it might have worked. He was GREAT on "In Living Color!"
Oi! I missed a series with Lynda Carter looking that hot?! ARGH!!! 😢
Well, only one I am familiar with to some extend is Tattooed Teenage, only because dad had 1 episode on VHS. The other 4, never heard of them, but looks like Hawkeye I was the most successful in finding on UA-cam, the whole series, Platypus Man, could only find 2 episodes, and the other 3, at least most of them. Anyways, thank you for this, did enjoy it.
You're welcome. Thanks for sharing. This list is pretty obscure compared to others.
I vaguely remember the teenage tattooed alien show but none of the rest
My brother and I would tune into T. T. Alien Fighters. We'd just laugh and laugh...
Was the bar in platypus man reused for how i met your mother ?
Could be!
David Allen Grier is great but he's given mediocre projects (except for in living Color)
