Every now and then LGC are gonna do a TBT, that's 'Throw Back Thursday' for those who aren't down with the internet slang, to old TV shows that we think should make a comeback, deserved way more recognition, or were cancelled too soon.

To start off, lets go back to the year 2000

Yep, that is a young Kate Bosworth and Ian Somerhalder. To be honest i don't remember much about Young Americans, I was only 9 when it first aired, but i do remember loving it! and unfortunately at the time the ratings were low, so it was cancelled after 8 episodes.

The show was created as a spin off to Dawson's Creek, focusing on the backstory of one of Pacey's childhood friends Will (who wasn't even on Dawson's Creek for very long, a mere 3 episodes).

Will earns a scholarship to a posh boys boarding school to get away from a complicated relationship with his dad, but he confesses to his roommate Scout that he cheated on the entrance exam. Scout ends up falling for one of Will's friends Bella, but his father disapproves of the relationship because Scout and Bella might actually be siblings...awkward. Meanwhile Jacqueline enrols in the boarding school disguised as Jake to see if her mum will notice her. She ends up falling for Hamilton who starts to wonder if he's gay when he starts developing feelings for her too.


Young American's is your typical teen drama that was cancelled too soon. But who could forget the awesome opening credits?! So 90's.

Beyond Belief Fact Or Fiction 

I remember staying up way past my bed time to watch every episode i could. The episode would usually have about 4 or 5 strange stories and before the show ended the host would tell you which stories were based on fact and which were fiction. Although i don't remember most of the stories i saw i clearly remember this one below which turned out to be fact!

The Twilight Zone 

This particular story is the reason why i dislike dummies, Another good one in the series is 'The Masks' which still creeps me out today. If you're a Goosebumps fan you may notice similarities between these two stories and 'Night of the Living Dummy' and 'The Haunted Mask'.

Goosebumps 

Some of the Goosebumps episodes weren't that scary at all, it was a children's show after all,  but one episode that i've never forgotten (and that i still own on VHS) is 'Welcome To Dead House'. I guess this terrified me even more because it reminded me of the Thriller music video with the zombies.

Honorable Mentions

Courage The Cowardly Dog

Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Tales From The Crypt

The X-Files

Looking back now some of these shows are super lame and cheesy but even after all these years they're still mega creepy!
