You know the shows that are on every Free streaming service. The ones that aired on some cable network years ago and everyone forgot about when they left the airwaves.
Right now mine... Lexx. Saw this when the first season,aka the 4 films ,hit Showtime in the late 90s. Then seasons 2,3,4 off Sci Fi channel. Got the season sets close to 20 years ago. Forgot about the show until saw it was on the Roku Channnel.
Imagine 60s Dr Who Budget but the show is a Canadian/German production.

The old MTV shows that now air on Pluto TV. True Life, Made, 16 and Pregnant, etc. it’s quite a trip watching teens on those shows using phones with those slide-out keyboards.

Had this been made today we'd have gotten a gritty as f***, TV-MA show that was a close approximation of the comic and movie. But it was made in 1998 in the style of Xena, Hercules, and Lois & Clark, by the guy who wrote Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
Still, I had fun with it.

Basically any and all tokusatsu shows. From Ultra Q all the way up to random episodes of whatever Kamen Rider series is running. f***ing love the stuff. I know Tubi had a ton of it last time I checked so I binged Chojin Sentai Jetman. I'm a Black Condor mark.

Those cheap, syndicated fantasy shows from the '90s like Hercules, Xena, Beastmaster, Relic Hunter, and The Lost World have always been a guilty pleasure of mine.

The original Jersey Shore. Not the Family Reunion or the spinoff shows... just the original. They are all douchebags, but I love the original.

The original seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are complete cheesy schlock but I love every second of those episodes.

Lost Tapes, it doesn't have the best quality, but since I'm into cryptids, I rather liked it both as a teenager and adult.

Forgot about the show until saw it was on the Roku Channnel. Imagine 60s Dr Who Budget but the show is a Canadian/German production. Lexx was advertised ad nauseam on RTL II back then. At that time, the station still had a grubby image because it had various softcore formats in its program. So Eva Habermann was the focus of every preview. Then I saw the first episode and the poor man's Gary Oldman from "The Fifth Element" put me off. But I thought the design ideas were really cool. |

I’m a longtime Neighbours enthusiast. People laugh when I say I’m a fan, but it used to be half an hour a day where everyone looked nice and didn’t have any real problems and the sun always shone, I didn’t really have to think or worry about stuff. It was kind of zen television for me.
I also love tacky late nineties fly-on-the-wall documentary. Airline, Hotel, Holiday Hotel, I love it. And those …From Hell programmes that were on ITV around the same period, Neighbours From Hell and Holidays From Hell and stuff. They’re funnier than comedy that people have written.

Wrestling, Just wanted to get that out of the way early. I get more enjoyment out of OVW, MLW, and some weeks NWA, than I do WWE, AEW, or Impact. |

Hercules and Xena were white hot at their peak and watched/loved by a vast majority compared to the others you mentioned. Absolutely. They were the OGs that spawned all the knockoffs. But let's not pretend like they weren't cheesy low-budget fare themselves. |

I love how the pilot episode was pretty much a PGish remake of the original movie. That Mark Dacascos has always been a seriously underrated actor. |

Chris Eccleston/David Tennant era Doctor Who looks like it was made on a budget of like $1000.
