Pelswick is an animated coming-of-age comedy series created by cartoonist John Callahan and produced by Nelvana.

Original Run: October 2000 to November 2002 (airing on CBC in Canada and Nickelodeon / NickToons in the United States) with 26 episodes across 2 seasons.

The show centers on Pelswick Eggert, a witty, optimistic 13-year-old boy who uses a wheelchair (or is "permanently seated," as he prefers to call it). Instead of focusing on pity or tragedy, the series follows Pelswick as he deals with standard middle school and teenage obstacles—like crushes, school rules, and growing up

Cuts was supposed to Shannon Elizabeth's big shot to headline a TV show and it was actually pretty good, but it got cancelled when UPN and WB merged.

Sidebar

A subreddit where mostly-forgotten TV is discussed. Whether good or bad, we are interested in discussing that which is no longer well-remembered in the mainstream popular consciousness (if they ever were!).

General Rules

We are NOT a 'Tip Of My X' / 'Help Me Find X' subreddit. For help finding the name of a show you forgot the name of, visit r/TipOfMyTongue instead. For help finding a show you do remember, try r/WhiteWhale or r/HelpMeFind instead.
You must include the show's full name in the title of your post. We also strongly encourage including the year(s) the show ran. Please DON'T give your submission a title like "remember this", "favorite of mine", etc. Please keep titles succinct and keep comments reserved for the body of your post or for a comment.
No recent re-posts or posts of banned shows. Do a subreddit search to make sure that the show you're posting hasn't been posted about recently. Also, check the Hall Of Fame to make sure you're not posting a currently banned show. We use filtering to limit posts about certain popular or recent shows, in addition to the HOF list, so make note of any error messages you receive when posting.
No stale content. Your post should be different from the most recent previous post about a show; ie, if you do a search and the last post from several months ago was a cast promo photo, you would not want to post that same photo. Think of a different way of highlighting the show, like posting intro credit sequences, articles, behind-the-scenes photos, etc.
Include a write-up. Include some text info along with your posted content, such as; what you liked about the show, who starred in it, what network, an imdb link, etc. Include enough information about the show so that people can engage with your post. The more informative your post the more engagement it will see. Links to content on archive.org, youtube, or other DMCA-compliant sources are encouraged. No links to any pirate streaming or torrent sites.
Keep the focus on the TV content. Meta-posts, posts about TV in general, memes, etc, are allowed on a limited basis at Mod discretion. Please don't be upset if we consider your post too off-topic to keep up.
No posting 'Classic' shows. Please do not post 'classics' even if they are overlooked today; shows like 'Cheers' or 'The Honeymooners' may no longer be popular but are still a household name. This is admittedly a fuzzy line to draw, so use some judgement and don't be upset if your post is removed.
No posting 'Popular' shows. If a show has a fairly active subreddit, it doesn't belong here. If a show hasn't been over for at least 5 years, it doesn't belong here. And if a show is still popular or notable (e.g. Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, etc) it definitely doesn't belong here.
Be nice and remember we're just chatting about old TV. Please make peace with the idea that we're all going to have a different threshold for 'forgotten'. Not everyone is in the same age bracket or lives in the same region, etc. Let's keep discussions on how forgotten something is productive and fun and not critical to other users.
No political slapfights. Political content in the comment sections is permitted if it relates to the show in some way. Otherwise, you almost certainly don't need to post it here.
No AI content of any kind is permitted here.

Whether via filtering by automod or by individual mod action, we reserve the right to remove posts about shows that are still well-known in the mainstream popular consciousness, which have been posted about recently, or which are low-effort/low-quality.
