TV shows that everybody used to talk about, but are pretty much forgotten now

[TMC]

What I mean by "not talked about" is that they don't even get mentioned when people ask for recommendations even though their qualities are undisputable. These are in particular, shows that enjoyed critical and viewers' acclaim, but have for whatever the reasons, vanished into oblivion nowadays.

People started talking about Murphy Brown again because of that awful revival. But yes on the others, especially NYPD Blue. I remember when that show was supposed to be this unforgettable trailblazer that would change TV forever, but now it's as if it never existed. I guess it became completely overshadowed by stuff like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.

I suspect that NYPD Blue doesn't get talked about too much these days because:

• Its home video release was spotty (although the entire run is now available, and can be found on Hulu and Amazon) so it fell out of the public consciousness.
  
  Other crime dramas like The Wire and The Shield have since outdone it. You can argue that NYPD Blue's contemporary, Homicide: Life on the Street, outdid it as well.
  
  It was one of those shows that was groundbreaking TV for a big network. But literally EVERYONE copied off of it.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the TV show LOST.

I don't hear anyone talking about that show anymore. I don't know if any TV network is even showing it in re-runs anymore either as far as I know.

Another show you don't hear about anymore is Moonlighting. I loved that show!

I think people decided to forget it existed because the finale pissed them off so much.

I just remembered another one: Dinosaurs. I think that's another show people decided to forget because of the series finale, which ended on a major downer.

I believe the finale for LOST was considered one of the most disappointing finales ever. Or at least one of the worst.

You can currently find LOST (see what I did there? ) on Hulu.
