“Forgotten” is a nostalgic description, not a measurable finding about the show’s audience or reputation. The available sources establish its premise, cast, and dates, but do not provide evidence for a claim about its popularity or how widely viewers remember it. The more concrete point is that Andromeda paired a Roddenberry science-fiction concept with Sorbo in the lead, then built its plot around rebuilding a collapsed interstellar alliance.
