YouTube 可能以模因和大大小小的创作者的大量原创内容而闻名,但它也是老电视节目的避难所,这些电视节目变得晦涩难懂。
其中许多节目从未制作过DVD或BluRay,或者它们受到区域限制的限制。这使得它们很难在美国以外的地方流式传输。在YouTube 上(YouTube)搜索您在其他任何地方都找不到的旧节目副本 总是值得的。
为帮助您入门,以下是YouTube 上(YouTube)一些被遗忘的最佳电视节目。一定要快点,不是所有的人都会永远闲逛!
1.机械战警系列(RoboCop The Series)
最初的RoboCop电影是讽刺和古怪的 80 年代科幻小说的绝对杰作。尽管是一部 R 级电影,但它催生了玩具、动画系列和这部电视剧。
该节目失去了电影的极端暴力,但保留了许多使RoboCop伟大的东西。虽然Richard Eden与(Richard Eden)Peter Weller并不完全在同一个联盟中,但他仍然用他宽阔的机械肩膀扛起了这场秀。对于任何RoboCop(RoboCop)粉丝来说,这是必须的。
2.赛博网(Cybernet)
90 年代是电子游戏的狂野时期,没有什么比 Cybernet 更能代表那个时代了(Cybernet)。在大多数人能够上网或买得起昂贵的游戏杂志之前,这个每周一次的综艺节目拥有一切。
它向玩家介绍了新的游戏和硬件,同时还提供了提示、技巧和作弊码。该节目的大部分剧集都是由露西朗赫斯特(Lucy Longhurst)讲述的。现在是朗赫斯特博士(Dr. Longhurst),因为这位标志性的女士现在是心理学(Psychology)博士。
Cybernet不仅仅是一次怀旧之旅,它还是许多已被遗忘的视频游戏发布和游戏新闻的编年史。幸运的是,多年来, YouTube托管了用户上传的多个副本。(YouTube)
3.计算机编年史(The Computer Chronicles)
计算机编年史(Computer Chronicles)从 1983 年到 2002 年,记录了个人计算的主要发展。任何对计算机技术感兴趣的人都应该观看这个节目。看看计算机在该程序运行的二十年中是如何进步的,真是令人着迷。
更有趣的是有些事情是如何保持不变的。你会听到很多在现代语境中似乎非常熟悉的观点和猜测,但也有很多东西被证明是非常错误的。
4.异国(Alien Nation)
虽然现在没有多少人记得这些电影或这部电视剧,但异形国度(Alien Nation)在当时是一部开创性的节目。外星(Alien)难民在地球上坠毁,不得不融入人类社会。该节目以一名外星警察为中心,他和他的人类伙伴必须应对这种整合的后果。
该节目当然是强烈的寓言,处理今天仍然存在的仇外心理问题。早(Long)在 Neil Blomkamp 的第 9 区(District 9)之前,Alien Nation就已经将“外星人生活在地球上”(Earth ”)的事情搞砸了。这些天很难追查到,但YouTube 上(YouTube)仍有保留的副本。
5.上帝、魔鬼和鲍勃(God, the Devil & Bob)
这部由法国斯图尔特(Stewart)饰演鲍勃(Bob)的动画连续剧很快就被取消了。上帝(God)和魔鬼(Devil)打赌地球是否会被毁灭。上帝(God)不想这样做,所以他说,即使一个人能证明他们让世界变得更美好,他也不会。
问题是他让魔鬼(Devil)选择人,“只是为了公平”。不幸的是,魔鬼(Devil)挑选的人是鲍勃(Bob)。一个不起眼的混蛋,现在必须通过做一个正派的人来拯救每个人。事实证明,这对倒霉的工厂工人来说是一个非常高的门槛。
6.重启(ReBoot)
ReBoot是有史以来第一个完全 CG 电视节目之一。按照现代标准,视觉效果可能看起来很原始,但它仍然像以往一样有趣。ReBoot设置在计算机中,所有角色本质上都是软件程序。所以在某种程度上,它有点像Matrix及其代理和其他程序。
主角Bob是系统守护者。在每一集中,他都要保护主机免受神秘用户(User)上传的游戏和主要反派兆字节(Megabyte)的影响。
Netflix最近让我们经历了一场糟糕的真人秀节目重启,但原版仍未被超越。
在 90 年代初,我们有许多令人惊叹的漫威(Marvel)和 DC 动画节目。其中包括经典作品,例如动画 X 战警、蜘蛛侠(Spiderman)、超人(Superman)和蝙蝠侠(Batman)表演。这些今天仍然被人们铭记,但WildC.ATS和 X 战警一样出色,并提供了漫威(Marvel)和 DC 宇宙的替代方案。
WildC.ATS是一群外星超级英雄,他们保护地球免受(Earth)恶魔形式的(WildC.A.T.S)另(Daemonites)一种外星威胁。恶魔可以拥有人体并隐藏在视线范围内。(Daemonites)但这不会阻止WildC.ATS。如果您喜欢任何经典的 90 年代动画漫画节目,请务必查看。
8.天鹰座(Aquila)
在 90 年代,有几部来自澳大利亚(Australia)(例如Spellbinder)和英国的优秀电视节目面向年轻成人观众。一个看似被遗忘的系列是Aquila。两个名叫汤姆(Tom)和杰夫(Geoff)的男孩发现了一个埋在田野里的外星飞船。在演出过程中,他们修复并设法操作它。天鹰座(Aquila),正如它的名字一样,有一些惊人的能力,你可以想象在两个年轻人的手中它会引起很多问题。
这部被遗忘的电视节目有着出人意料的成熟基调,事实证明,这在 1997 年BBC(BBC)重新启动儿童节目后无法幸免。遗憾的是,这就是为什么Aquila的第三个系列从未制作完成的原因。
那应该在博物馆里!
当伟大的老节目消失时,总是很遗憾。但是铁杆粉丝会保留和分享原始创作者不再关心的节目副本。如果您有一个最喜欢的被遗忘的电视节目,由于YouTube仍然存在,请在下面的评论中分享。
8 Best Forgotten TV Shows on YouTube
YouTube might be best-known for memes and a flood of original cоntent by creators big and small, but it’s also a refuge for old TV shows that are becoming obscure and hard to find.
Many of these shows never made it to DVD or BluRay, or they are locked behind regional restrictions. This makes it hard to stream them outside the US. It’s always worth searching YouTube for copies of old shows you can’t find anywhere else.
To get you started, here are some of the best forgotten TV shows on YouTube. Do be quick about it, not all of them are going to hang around forever!
The original RoboCop film is an absolute masterpiece of satire and quirky 80s science fiction. Despite being an R-rated movie, it spawned toys, an animated series, and this TV series.
The show loses the extreme violence of the movie but retains a lot of what makes RoboCop great. While Richard Eden isn’t quite in the same league as Peter Weller, he nonetheless carries the show on his broad mechanical shoulders. This is a must for any RoboCop fan.
The 90s were a wild time for video games and nothing epitomizes that time as much as Cybernet. In a time before most people had internet access or could afford expensive gaming magazines, this weekly variety show had it all.
It introduced players to new games and hardware while also offering tips, tricks, and cheat codes. Most of the episodes from the show’s prime are narrated by Lucy Longhurst. It’s Dr. Longhurst now, as the iconic lady is now a doctor of Psychology.
Cybernet isn’t just a nostalgia trip, it’s also a chronicle of many video game releases and gaming news that have been forgotten. Luckily, YouTube plays host to several copies uploaded by users over the years.
The Computer Chronicles ran from 1983 to 2002 and chronicled the major developments in personal computing. Anyone with an interest in computer technology should watch this show. It’s fascinating to see how computers progressed over the two decades the program was on.
What’s more interesting is how some things have stayed the same. You’ll hear a lot of opinions and speculation that seem eerily familiar in the modern context, but there’s also plenty of stuff that turned out to be hilariously wrong.
While not many people remember the films or this TV series now, Alien Nation was a groundbreaking show for its time. Alien refugees crash on Earth and have to integrate into human society. The show centered on an alien police officer, who along with his human partner had to deal with the fallout of that integration.
The show is strongly allegorical of course, dealing with issues of xenophobia that are with us still today. Long before Neil Blomkamp’s District 9, Alien Nation already had the gritty “aliens live on Earth ” thing down. It’s hard to track down these days, but there are still preserved copies on YouTube.
This animated series starring French Stewart as Bob was canceled far too soon. God and the Devil make a wager on whether Earth will be destroyed. God doesn’t want to do it, so he says that if even one person can show they’ve made the world a better place, he won’t.
The catch is that he lets the Devil choose the person, “just to be fair”. Unfortunately, the person the Devil picks is Bob. An unremarkable schlub, who now must save everyone by just being a decent human being. That turns out to be a hilariously high bar to clear for the hapless factory worker.
ReBoot has the distinction of being one of the first-ever fully CG TV shows. The visuals might look primitive by modern standards, but it’s still as entertaining as ever. ReBoot is set within a computer and all characters are essentially software programs. So in a way, it’s a little like the Matrix with its agents and other programs.
The main character, Bob, is a system guardian. In every episode, he has to protect the mainframe from both the games uploaded by the mysterious User and the main villain Megabyte.
Netflix has recently subjected us to an awful live-action reboot of the show but the original still hasn’t been topped.
In the early 90s, we had a slew of amazing Marvel and DC animated shows. These include classics such as the animated X-Men, Spiderman, Superman, and Batman shows. These are still well-remembered today, but WildC.A.T.S was just as good as X-Men and offered an alternative to the Marvel and DC universes.
The WildC.A.T.S are a group of alien superheroes who are defending Earth against another alien threat in the form of Daemonites. The Daemonites can have human bodies and hide in plain sight. But that’s not going to stop the WildC.A.T.S. If you liked any of the classic 90s animated comic shows, do check it out.
In the 90s, there were several great TV shows from Australia (such as Spellbinder) and the UK for young adult audiences. One seemingly forgotten series is Aquila. Two boys named Tom and Geoff, discover an alien spacecraft buried in a field. Over the course of the show, they restore it and manage to operate it. The Aquila, as it’s named, has some amazing capabilities and as you can imagine in the hands of two youngsters it causes plenty of problems.
This forgotten TV show has a surprisingly mature tone, which proved too much to survive a 1997 reboot of children’s programming at the BBC. This is why, sadly, the third series of Aquila was never made.
That Should Be in a Museum!
It’s always a shame when great old shows disappear. But hardcore fans preserve and share copies of programs the original creators no longer care about. If you have a favorite forgotten TV show that still lives on thanks to YouTube, share it in the comments below.
