10 series you probably saw on TV and don’t remember

The availability of content for streaming on demand has profoundly transformed our experience of watching series and films. However, this dynamic was different until recently. Most Brazilians relied only on open television as their main source of daily entertainment. At that time we spent hours in front of the television to follow the programming of the channels, of which series were one of the most popular attractions.

However, as the years passed and the content diversified, many of these series were forgotten or remained only in our memories.

How about taking a nostalgic trip, remembering some of those series that once aired on television and that today almost no one remembers?

Anyone who followed SBT programming in the early 2000s surely came across this series starring a child prodigy.

The sitcom “Gênio do Noise” is premised on the adventures of a gifted 10-year-old boy who is transferred from elementary school to high school.

The protagonist is TJ (Tahj Mowry), the youngest of the Henderson family. The cast also includes John Marshall Jones, Jason Weaver, Omar Gooding and Essence Atkins.

An educational series for children with mystery elements, “O Fantasma Escritor” was broadcast on open TV by TV Cultura in the afternoons between the late 1990s and the mid-2000s.

The series revolved around a group of teenage Brooklyn “detectives” who solved neighborhood crimes and mysteries with the help of a ghost who communicated by manipulating any text and letters he could find, using them to form words and sentences.

This somewhat forgotten sitcom, which aired in Brazil on SBT in 2003, has as its main focus the relationship between three brothers, played by real-life brothers: Joey (who also starred in “Blossom”), Matthew and Andrew Lawrence.

The plot tells the story of a young man who, after the death of his father, decides to join his stepmother’s family and claim his share in the enterprises of a mechanical workshop. During this process, he lives with his two half-brothers.

This North American sitcom achieved great success with audiences and critics in its home country. However, in Brazil, “Malcon” did not achieve the same success. In Open TV, the program aired on Rede Record from 2004 to 2006 and in 2010 on Rede Bandeirantes, without having had a full broadcast on any broadcaster.

The series follows Malcolm (Frankie Muniz), a gifted boy trying to fit into a dysfunctional family. With distinctive storytelling, Malcolm breaks the “fourth wall” in every episode.

The cast also includes Bryan Cranston (Walter White of “Breaking Bad”), who plays the goofy father of the family. Jane Kaczmarek (nominated seven times for an Emmy for playing Malcolm’s mother Lois), Christopher Masterson, Justin Berfield and Erik Per Sullivan round out the acting team.

Remember the series derived from “Preppy Girls of Beverly Hills”? The success of the 1995 film led to a three-season series that aired from 1996 to 1999 in the United States.

However, Alicia Silverstone did not return to her iconic role as Cher Horowitz. On the other hand, Stacey Dash (Dionne), Donald Faison (Murray), Elisa Donovan (Amber), Wallace Shawn (Mr. Hall) and Twink Caplan (Ms. Geist) reprized their roles in the series.

In Brazil, the first season of the series was initially broadcast on Sundays on Globo and subsequently on Rede Record, in the Eliana program, in the afternoons of the early 2000s.

The acerbic and satirical sitcom “Unfortunate Forever” was broadcast briefly in Brazil in 2003, on SBT. With 5 seasons, the series follows a dysfunctional family centered on a father dissatisfied with his marriage and his job, who is also schizophrenic (played by Geoff Pierson). This character converses with a talking stuffed rabbit.

The wife, played by Stephanie Hodge, is bitter, self-centered and spiteful. The three children are played by Kevin Connolly, Nikki Cox and Justin Berfield.

Molly’s nightmares

Canceled in its first season, the American series ‘Molly’s Nightmares’ was not successful either in its home country or in Brazil. However, when broadcast on SBT Sundays in the 2000s, the attraction managed to gain some prominence.

The narrative deals with the usual challenges of adolescence experienced by Molly Stage (Reagan Dale Neis), a 15-year-old teenager who shares her daily life with a large and particular family, which often puts her in embarrassing situations.

The superhero series “The Electric Man” is based on a comic created by Steve Englehart and published by Malibu Comics. In Brazil, the attraction was broadcast on SBT in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

In the series’ plot, a well-known jazz saxophonist (Matt McColm) is struck by lightning during an electrical wiring accident and develops the ability to detect evil through telepathy. However, as a result of this event, he loses the ability to sleep. Despite having no other superhuman powers, the protagonist decides to become a superhero.

An obscure one-season series that aired in 2000 in Brazil on SBT. “Brimstone” brings with it a supernatural story with horror and crime elements.”

In the synopsis, a police detective (Peter Horton), after killing a criminal who had raped his partner, dies and goes to hell two months later. After 15 years, the Devil (John Glover) offers a deal: the detective must track down 113 demons fleeing from the darkness. If he can return them all to Hell, he will have a second chance on Earth.

With a short run of just one season consisting of 13 episodes, “The Man of the House” stars Andrew (Erik von Detten), a 15-year-old young man who is the only man in his family.

Living with his mother and three sisters, the series explores this unusual dynamic. In Brazil, the sitcom was broadcast on SBT in 2001, on Sunday mornings.
