I liked his cool submarine.  It was neat. 

As I remember he was paralyzed until he put the Mantis suit on.

Pretty cool.

I thought there was another show with the same idea as Mantis.  All I remember is they used a van for getting into the suit.   Might have been just a movie.

There was a TV-movie called "Exo-Man" that was sort of like Mantis and like Iron Man too.  Info here:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076008/

That's it.   Never, never, never piss off a scientist with oodles of money.

If you ask me this time next year, it will be the Sara Connor Cronicles.  Looks interesting, but fox cans shows that arn't an instant hit.

Got to say I was disappointed when "Earth 2" was canceled after just the two seasons :-(
It's finally out on DVD

BTW - If anyone hasn't seen "Farscape" yet, it's like 10 pounds of fun in a 5 pound box. Highly recommended!

This is a old thread but i loved Brimstone. I've managed to get it on a DVD well a copy from a video and i loved this show. Such a shame it didn't last longer than one series.

I enjoted Space Above and Beyond. I thought the characters were really well developed even if it was only for 1 year.
Ripley: Ash. Any suggestions from you or Mother?
Ash: No, we're still collating.
Ripley: [Laughing in disbelief] You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.

Jericho was a great show could have done a lot with that.
How about Maniamal came out same time as The Powers of Matthew Star.<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bVQoHc-KHf4&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bVQoHc-KHf4&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
There was a power suit guy in the 90's called Super Force. And what about Street Hawk a Knight Rider type motor cycle.

I was just thinking about how there were even sci-fi shows targeted towards kids when I was growing up.

I couldn't get enough of Out of this World as a kid.

That show was awesome!  I recently picked up the DVD set for $15, and all these years later, I still enjoy the show!
