Little known TV shows which are really good

[[Phill]]

With the huge mass of program output, a lot of really good programs fall through the cracks be it through bad scheduling, lack of promotion or a mix of the two.

This is a thread for programs which you (and hopefully others) think are truly great, but never reached the popularity they deserved.

To start off, my latest discovery is Clone High. Put simply its perhaps the best animated comedy ever. I stand by that statement.

The program is a high school made up of clones of historical figures - with the main characters being Abe Lincoln, Joan of Ark, Ghandi, JFK and Cleopatra.

It got only one series of 13 episodes in 2003 and from what ive seen there is no chance of a second season (which is really frustrating given the way the ended the season).

Secondly is a favourite of mine called God the Devil and Bob. This origionally managed to get 3 shows on American TV until the religious right got it pulled off (though it got a full showing here in the UK).

The basic concept is that god and the devil make a bet on the fate of humanity and earth based around one person chosen by the devil - the devil chooses Bob and its through his actions that God will decide whether to destroy earth or not.
