Pacific Rim: Through the Portal

Taking off from the events of the second movie, this would have shown an army of Jaggers assaulting the Precursors' world/dimension. The series would introduce the Scrapper-class single pilot Jagger, as well as the 5-pilot Juggernaught-class command Jagger. Burn Gorman was slated to play the top cientist. Canceled by SyFy even before the pilot came out.

1979-83 "Shanghai Station" An adventure series set in 1936 Shanghai, with Edward Hermann as Eliot Dibley, an assistant to the US commercial attache at the Shanghai Consulate. In the office, he's the nebbish assistant who shuffles papers and is chronically put down by his boss, Harmon Wade III. Outside the consulate, he's a Captain in the US Army Intelligence. For Hermann, this was a chance to simultaneously play off his typical upper-crust persona and play the gun-toting, ready-to-rumble undercover man.

Eliot Dibley/Captain Dibley - Edward Hermann
Consul Higgs - Brian Keith
Commercial Attache Harmon Wade III - William Daniels
Su-Niang - Irene Tsu
Mr Li - Clyde Kusatsu
Chao Tai - Soon Tek Oh

Mr. Belvedere: ABC 1985-1990 Dramedy

Lynn Belvedere is not who he seems, but then neither are the Owens family of Denver, CO. The Owens family are actually deep cover KGB operatives with the assignment of investigating and disrupting NORAD. Belvedere is himself a deep cover MI6 agent assigned to be the housekeeper/nanny for the Owens family. Perhaps he is responsible for the Owens being backstopped as a sports reporter, and homemaker/law student. Belvedere does just enough to thwart the older Owens, while attempting to keep young Wesley from falling into the life of an agent.

Lynn Belvedere: Christopher Hewett
George Owens: Bob Saget
Marsha Owens: Valerie Harper
Kevin Owens: Marc Price
Heather Owens: Tracy Wells
Wesley Owens: Brice Beckham

Marc Price, fed up by his irregular appearances on Family Ties auditions for and wins the role of Kevin. Bob Saget appearing as Mr. Owens means that Full House does not come to exist as it would. Valerie Harper as Marsha Owens means that Valerie begins life as the Hogan Family and plays out as a pseudo Full House, with Sandy Duncan appearing from the first episode.

This is the initial program in what would become Sure Happy its Thursday on ABC.

Of Mice and Men - Disney's brief and ill-thought out foray into adult topics and health education. Also known more colloquially by a title involving a female mouse and structural supports.

Sanford and Son - African-American lawyer tackle social justice issues while portraying the achievements of a rural West Virginia son of a junkyard owner obtaining a Harvard law degree in the mid-70s.

Night Court - Downtown Miami-Dade County judicial proceedings at the height of the Cocaine Cowboy epidemic. Notable for only two of the six main cast members from Season One surviving into the finale of Season Seven - they marry but she dies in childbirth at the end of the episode.

Don't know never watched the Americans, just trying to imagine how to rework mid 80's TV because that is the era I was most tuned into evening program. Now a days I watch very little programming.

A Good Eye - A 2019 biopic miniseries of DecorMyEyes owner Vitaly Borker (played by Anton Yelchin), who launches a campaign of targeting and harassing and cyberbullying customers to cause publicity by driving google search rankings up, and his eventual arrest by the US Postal Inspection Service, and his conviction, also focusing on his victims struggling to cope, namely Andrea Lafayette (loosely based on actual victims, like Clarabelle Rodriguez). The series' main theme is exploitation of flaws, focusing on how he exploited the broken system of Google's search algorithms that failed to distinguish good from bad and his customer base who just wanted sunglasses for profit.

Walking with Aliens - A 2009 spinoff of BBC's the Walking With... series. Unlike the rest of the series, it focuses not on life of prehistoric Earth, but what alien life could look like. The show visits six (technically five planets and a moon) planets (the watery planet of Yemoja, the tidally-locked Trimurti, the lush jungle Humbaba, the twin worlds Odin III and Armstrongia, the gas giant Olympius, and the rogue planet Rejb) to explore different forms of alien life and how their worlds' differing factors affect their physiology and behaviour. The series is narrated by David Bowie, and composed by both him and Work for a Nuclear-Free City, and many of the tracks were included on the album Space Jockey.

The series received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and followers of the series, who felt the premise deviated from the trilogy of life's premise of reconstructing actual prehistory. However, it has acquired much interest among science fiction fans for its interesting alien designs.
