Rome - An HBO show that aired from 2005-2007. Fantastic series that doesn't get enough attention. They ran their budget too high at a time when HBO wasn't as popular as it is now.

Crashing - Another HBO show centered on a comedian. I'm a fan of Pete Holmes.

The Place Beyond the Pines - Something about this film still sticks with me today. Was a pretty moving watch.

Queer as Folk (USA), young me who downloaded 100 series to just watch the first episodes and delete if I didn't like it didn't even knew it was going to be a 'gay' show, got hooked and weirded out at the same time at episode one and it's now one of my favourite and i'd say the most important show for me personally I watched.

• Bonanza

Bonanza lasted 14 seasons(second longest running western serties of all time, behind Gunsmoke), did extremely well in the ratings for most of it's run, was nominated for multiple Emmys and Golden Globes awards, has made TV Guide's "top 50 shows of all time" list multiple times, and still runs in syndication to this day...is that really an "obscure" series? It's an older series sure, but not exactly an unknown one.

It's obscure today. Nobody talks about it anymore, unless maybe you're an old guy posting on an really old magazine or website forum. I'd dare say even Star Trek is starting to become obscure (last show popular Trek show people cared about ended 22 years ago). You don't see people discussing TOS or TNG episodes on message boards today (maybe trekbbs forums for old fans trekkies but that's it). Just because a show is brought up a lot in articles as being an important or famous show historically doesn't mean most people have actually seen it.

Rango
Kung Fu Hustle (sub version only...the dub version is horribly bad)

If you go to forums and message boards you don't see a lot of people talking about Elvis, Hank Williams, or The Bee Gees either. It doesn't make them obscure, it just means they're not as popular with a younger, more modern audience.

I remember watching this show when it came out. It was not bad but not great. I think you can see it on the chiller channel or horror channel on cable or satellite.

Kind of related but Invincible was my favorite comic when I worked at the shop but almost no one bought it and I could never get anyone new to try it. I went so far as to offer to loan the first trade to some of the regulars and none of them took me up on it.

More recently it got a show and is already green lit for 2 new seasons and people are making memes with it and its wonderful.

[Berndorf]

For comedy the Fast Show though it's hard to get ahold of and idk if it's shown on any steaming services. It was popular in the uk but didn't get much play over here.

[Lex Icon]

dunno how obscure it is but Fido is a fun spin on the Zombie genre.

[PeterMoody]

That would be a show where you didn't reply

[Orby]

Is 'Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee' considered obscure a movie choice? If so, then that one.

A friend of mine was also into it and tried to get us to read it and had no takers. Hopefully he is feeling some vindication now as well.
