"TV shows from Alternate History" game

[Tales Weaver]

This thread is somewhat similar in concept to the "AH Title & Description" and "TL Title & Description" games elsewhere on these boards, but with a different focus: to create an TV show from alternate history.
For example:

Japanese Show about Robots that can transform into basic vehicles such as cars or trucks, hence the "hidden knight" aspect, as they could "Hide in plain sight until they needed to save the day". Despite some innovative special effects it is now mostly forgotten, which is tragic as it wasn't terribly acted and had some decent plots.

The lovely 25 year old Diwata inherits her grandparents' home from which her cousin Marikit disappeared a decade earlier. Diwata was to have joined her then 16 year old cousin for the week-end, but did not and feels guilty about the girl's absence. Local police officer Bayani tells her of many disappearances in the house and the pair fall in love while trying to figure out the mystery concerning them. The layout of the house changed often and while the servants remained the same, their clothing was often not current, but quite old-fashioned in style - as was their speech. (Note: Many critics - especially internationally - thought the concept was too advanced for the times.) Now a cult classic.

Show Name: Madam President
Creator: Ida Lupino (produced by Desilu)
Country of Origin: USA
Genre: Drama
Style: Drama
Year(s): 1965-1967

A surprisingly forward-thinking drama series concerning the tenure of the hypothetical female US president Wynters (of an unspecified party), and her battle against a prejudiced staff and segregationists in the US South. Highly topical, it featured an analogue to the then-contemporary War in South Africa as well as a surprisingly in-depth model of relations between the US and German Reich, with a poignant ending to the 1967 season featuring Wynters' response to a nuclear stand-off in the Azores. Though well received by a large number of critics, the show recieved poor ratings and was scrapped in 1967. The following nuclear war between America and Nazi Germany obviously prevented any comeback, with all surviving films of the show destroyed and the only remnant of its existence to reach 1970 being a single set of scripts at an Australian TV station. Madam President has received a cult following in Oceania since.

Year: 1989-2008; 2018-present

Popular Animated sitcom featuring Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa. Thankfully Canceled in 2008 before things completely jumped the shark, although most fans agree that the later seasons are not as good as the earlier ones. Currently going through a revival featuring Bart and Lisa as adults. Reviews have been terrible and it probably won't be renewed for a second season, which is probably for the best.

[Mina-van-Mako]

Animated serie about an ethnologist discovering different human civilisations throughout space. The very colorful and inspired universe, theawesome soundtrack and the long time episodes (2 hours every episode) makes this serie very popular among every ages. The first season (2012-2014) was not very famous, until they got the help of Suzan Arka for translations in slovak and czech, making this serie really popular because of it's inclusiveness about everyone in the Princely States.

Okay, wait, is "The Breach" the show Mako-Tochan is describing or is Mako describing the show he posits beneath it because Mako isn't getting how this is done? (You describe the show above your post, then post your own title, etc.)

From the looks of it, Mako described “The Breach” and then the next person describes “Weltgeist” and posts another show for the next person to describe.

From the looks of it, Mako described “The Breach” and then the next person describes “Weltgeist” and posts another show for the next person to describe.

That's the way it's supposed to work but: Mako is describing sci-fi, and specifically states that the show started in 2012, while "The Breach" ran 2005-2013. "The Breach" is Spy Fiction done as a thriller, Mako's is animated.

I'm sorry to break the chain. This was an opportunity i couldn't miss.

Show about a chearleader, who researches strange phenomenons and para-normal activities on her highschool in Shadyvale. The show was heavily influenced by the earlier show Kolchak: The Night Stalker from 1974.
After three initial succesfull seasons. The show moved in the fourth season to the university of Shadyvale and an arc involving government conspiracies and aliens was introduced. After this the whole series got massively convoluted (especialy the 9th episode of season five, which shows an alien invasion) and the quality of the first three seasons was never again reached.

Another Kamen rider season, another theme. This time centered around coffee and cafe foods. Criticism was clearly based on just how bizarre the premise is. But just how much of the decision was made for shock value and how much for laziness is up for debate.

The show follows James Heckenhaus a Special Agent in the FBI's Magical, Spiritual, Response Division as he investigates a series of supernatural murders. The show starts off with Heckenhaus smoking a cigarette outside his nephew's Bar Mitzvah. As a DJ plays awful music inside the rented venue, several gunshots are shot nearby. James armed with his ' O-76' 7th-Grade Wand investigates. James arrives to the scene of the crime too late. A middle-aged man of Arab descent lies lifeless on the cold cement floor. The man lies in a pool of blood in the shape of a pentagram. James calls the Division's special emergency hotline ' 777 '. The first season ends with James' death after finally ending the crazed wizard of a serial killer's killing spree. Critics give mixed ratings but negative ratings are drowned out by the show's almost cult-like fanbase.
