When I finish a TV series, I usually take a break for a few months before I begin rewatching the series very slowly. I’m pretty methodical in my rewatch, I tend to skip episodes I didn’t love, and I don’t stress myself on needing to see every moment. I just enjoy an episode, somewhat in order, whenever the mood strikes me. Lately, I’ve felt a desire to watch Deep Space Nine, for the first time in several years.

In 2016, the Canadian Neo-Western/supernatural show Wynonna Earp debuted on the Syfy channel. Based on a little-known comic series from the 90s, Wynonna Earp told the story of a descendant of Wyatt Earp, who battles reincarnated outlaws that her great-great-great grandfather killed. Easily described as part Buffy the Vampire Slayer, part Supernatural, this low-budget series never went mainstream, but developed a small army of dedicated fans. I remember Wynonna Earp debuted on Syfy with little to no marketing.

Over the past ten years, we’ve seen a lot of reboots and continuations such as The Conners, Will and Grace, Night Court, and Murphy Brown.

I believe the reason for this overlook is that Mad About You aired as one of the short-lived Spectrum Originals. So, for anyone who didn’t subscribe to Spectrum, it wasn’t easy to watch.

I’ll never forget one of the trailers was for the film Serenity, a continuation of the TV show Firefly created by Joss Whedon. Whedon had also created Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and when the trailer mentioned that I heard Alex audibly let out a “Yes!

I have this strange memory. I was nine or ten years old, and I’m sitting on the floor watching TV. I was at one of my mom’s friend’s house because she had a son that was my age. It was the only time I ever visited their home, but I remember seeing commercials for two new television shows: Babylon 5 and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. Why is that all I remember from that day?
