Once upon a time, sparking a myriad of lawsuits, there was a show called ‘Mutant X.’ It was not based on that series where Havok ended up on an alternate Earth, but in fact was X-Men in all but name, featuring John “Luthor from ‘The Adventures of Lois & Clark'” Shea as the Professor X of a group of genetically enhanced super-folk. Many people I talk to don’t even remember it, as it was a syndicated show of the 90s, which meant late night and/or weekend time slots on WGN, TBS or other non-network affiliates. All I remember about it is the terrible Marvel Comics adaptation and the fact that their Wolverine was an attractive young woman named Shalimar, leading to today’s cycled-six-days-per-week query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) used to really like the Action Pack, with Xena and Hercules, but ‘Team Knight Rider’ was a particularly fun bit of nonsense, asking: What’s your fave-rave syndicated show of days past?

Babylon 5, hands down. One of the best serialized shows out there.

Thank you Matthew, you hit on the perfect ones i loved to watch in syndication also! Some of my other favorites include Legend of the Seeker, Beastmaster, Andromeda, and of course the grandfather of them all Star Trek: The Next Generation.
