What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? (lemm.ee)

I don't think you can call Firefly "lesser-known" or "obscure" ...

[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can agree, but could say the same of the others or of other answers. Viewer count may be very different in different countries too. My rule of thumb for "obscure" is: something I mentioned to acquaintances that they'd never heard of.

Fair enough, I don't mean to override your experience of it as obscure, and it's a good show. Maybe because I'm a nerd surrounded by nerds, I would consider Firefly only third to Star Wars and Star Trek in terms of fame, but it's getting old now so this might also be a generational thing. Maybe Stargate is approximately equal to Firefly, but I feel like people love Firefly so much more than Stargate.

I'm completely with you!

What's funny: I watched Castle with friends, and none of them got the references that Fillion made to Firefly from time to time... :) "What?! You've never watched Firefly?!"
