Underrated Treasures Blogfest!


I haven't participated in a blogfest in ages, and I thought this sounded like a fun one.

Everyone has a favorite movie or band that no one else has ever heard about. For whatever reason, they remain undiscovered and underrated. Now is your chance to tell the world about this obscure treasure!

On Monday, September 22, post about your favorite unknown –

 MOVIE – BAND/ARTIST – TV SHOW – BOOK

One of my favorites:
http://www.henson.com/fantasy_scifi.php?content=farscape
Astronaut John Crichton assumes he'll be home in time for dinner. But a freak accident during an experimental space mission catapults him across a thousand galaxies to an alien battlefield. Suddenly, he's trapped among alien creatures wielding deadly technology - a battle that 20th century sci-fi pop culture never prepared him for. Hunted by a merciless military race, Crichton begins his quest for home from a galaxy far, far away ... Thus began the epic adventure "Farscape" the groundbreaking award-winning sci-fi production that has become a fan favorite around the world. Named by TV Guide as one of television's best cult shows ever and known for the overwhelming fan-based campaign that led to the miniseries production, "Farscape" has continued to find new audiences as it airs in syndication and is available on DVD around the world.

What is your favorite underrated treasure?

    I love Farscape! Too bad it ended so quickly. I hope they do a movie. Well, another movie.

    Farscape! You are awesome. Watched every episode of that series.

    I really enjoyed this show. Very weird and wonderful. Also liked it when the two leads turned up in Stargate.

      Oh yeah! My husband and I both thought it was weird/funny when they showed in in Stargate. It was almost confusing to have them both there.

    Farscape was great fun. I too noticed when both ended up on Stargate. Still rather have O'Neill though haha

    I loved Farscape. Ironically, it was my ex (a non-science fiction fan) who introduced me to it. I agree with it being underrated.

    I remem ber Farscape. I never really got into it, but I think that's becasue I never got to see it from the beginning. I guess there's nothing stopping me from trying it out again. Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my list.

    I dated a guy in high school who watched that so I got to see a few episodes. Also, Netflix has it and I started watching it, but couldn't multitask (aka write and watch) so I stopped and haven't gotten back into it. Loved it though, so I really need to watch more.
