Misfits of Science - October 4, 1985

Oct 4, 2021

Three young people and a scientist ride around in an ice-cream truck and fight crime with their amazing, superhuman powers - except the ability to draw an audience for NBC. That was the promise, and failure, of "Misfits of Science" which premiered on October 4, 1985 and featured an up-and-coming Courtney Cox.

Follow Sci-Fi 5 for your daily dose of science-fiction history.
