This show only had 16 episodes and was pretty low budget, however, it does have a good following. It was created by Harlan Ellison and focused on a generational colony spacecraft called Earthship Ark. However, many people on the ship were unaware they were actually on the ship. There were lots of production difficulties, which probably led to its early demise.
