The Top Ten Most Unrecognized TV Shows In Your Mind?

[troopoleon8897]

What ten tv shows do you think should be recognized and appreciated?

[Adamantium]

In No Order:

1. Ned & Stacey
2. The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
3. Wings
4. Nurses
5. NewsRadio (kind of a mix, critics recognize it, but it was low rated. Alot of people I know have never heard of the show.)
6. Make Room for Daddy (During it's day it was big, but besides the syndicated fifth season DVD, there's really no place to find it today.)
7. The Joey Bishop Show
8. Chico and the Man
9. Car 54, Where Are You?
10. Ellen

[slackermonkey]

"Scrubs." Easily.

I also thought last midseason's "Committed" had a lot of potential.

[TheWhiteStripe]

Arrested Development

[nickandmore]

Since it's "TV shows" and not just "sitcoms":

1. The Dead Zone
2. Still Standing
3. NCIS (always does good in ratings, but no one talks about it)
4. Who's the Boss?
5. Alice
6. Coach
7. Mama's Family
8. The Office (I like this show, but others don't seem to)
9. Becker
10. Wings

[Johnny S]

10. That's My Mama
9. Boy Meets World
8. 227
7. Make Room For Daddy
6. Scrubs
5. Ellen
4. Night Court
3. Newsradio
2. Wings
1. The Bob Newhart Show

No "Arrested Development"!?

2. Boy Meets World
3. Lois & Clark
4. Less Than Perfect
5. Who's the Boss?

In no particular order:

"The Job" - Brilliant short lived comedy series from Denis Leary and Peter Tolan, who would team up again for "Rescue Me."

"The Larry Sanders Show" - Before Larry David, Sarah Jessica, and Tony Soprano, Garry Shandling ruled HBO.

"Everwood" - A fine drama that doesn't get that much attention on the WB. A great ensemble cast.

"Black Adder" - Rowan Atkinson's hysterical britcom/twisted history lesson.

"Home Movies" - Now part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup, this is one of my favorite animated programs.

"SportsNight" - Perfect blend of wit and drama. Great cast to boot.

"The Odd Couple" - To me it's unrecognized because it still isn't on DVD!
Tony Randall and Jack Klugman were arguably one of the best duos to ever stand in front of a TV camera.

"Mystery Science Theater 3000" - A true cult classic, this show should be rerun forever on some channel.

"Arrested Development" - Sure the critics and a few hundred viewers have embraced this show, but why it's not in the top ten is beyond me.

"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" My personal favorite of all the Star Trek series which IMO never got the praise it deserved from the Sci Fi community.

I'm sure I'll come up with another 10 in an hour or two.

;)

[Stuck In The '70's]

Norm
Titus
Two Guys And A Girl

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine-The best but least watched (at least until Enterprise) of the Star Trek shows.

Gilmore Girls
Everwood
Veronica Mars
American Dreams (was) :(

Make Room for Daddy
Car 54, Where Are You?

There are others I cant seem to think of now

[Chocoholic]

Wings- I could never understand why it didn't have the same success as Cheers. I like Cheers too, but I'll take Wings any day.

NewsRadio- Brilliant comedy. Too bad people were more interested in shows like Friends, Will & Grace, and Veronica's Closet.

Two Guys and a Girl- A lot of people call it a lame Friends knock-off, but I'd rather watch this show than Friends.

Futurama- It was nowhere near as good the The Simpsons (What is?) but it still had potential.

Becker- OK, so it was no Cheers, but I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as people say it is.

Scrubs- Excellent show. Does not get the attention and respect it deserves.

[Storywriter]

The shows I feel should be recognized and this is my opinion should be.
1.Reunion,
2.Related
3.One Tree Hill
4.Smallville,
5.Who's The Boss
6.Charles in Charge
7.MADtv
8.American Dreams should have been
9.North Shore should have been
10.Gilligans Island
11.Tru Calling should have been..

Keep in mind this is my opinion.:cool: :)

[Classicshowsgurl15]

Here is my list:

1: Head of the Class
2: The Facts of Life
3: Boy Meets World
4:Step by Step
5:Family Matters

7: Happy Days
8:Family Ties
9: Spin City

I agree. It wasn't such a bad show. It had a good cast and I think it deserved to be around longer.
