Old TV shows - sci-fi, etc

Lately I'm going on an old TV shows kick, but I can't recall a lot of them.
I've always been a huge Dr Who fan, and have everything they've ever done, save for the stuff the BBC destroyed years ago. Red Dwarf is another favorite of mine, as well as the Avengers. I used to love Dark Shadows, too.

I recently started on Space 1999, Blakes 7, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, and a couple others. Will do Twilight Zone and Outer Limits, of course.

What are some other obscure, old sci-fi/horror/wierd shows that were good (or not so good, even) short lived...before thier time, etc?

My Favorite Matian... yes!

Man from UNCLE and the Prisoner... for sure. Did Logan's Run have a series too?

Mostly looking for 50's, 60's, 70's.... maybe some 80's. Anyone remember the Misfits of Science?

If you like Space 1999 try UFO
UFO Series Home Page
and a movie called Doppelgänger

All by the same writer/directors, husband and wife team that also brought us the Thunderbirds.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

I didn't really remember much of Space 1999. Don't think I saw more than one or two episodes back then, and all I could really recall was the image of the ship crashing into the moon...

Will check out UFO, thanks!
Can't find anything of the Phoenix...

You want obscure? Check out "Men Into Space" from 1959, starring William Lundigan.
