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

Adamantium · 10-08-2005, 03:18 PM

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

"Scrubs." Easily.

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

TheWhiteStripe · 10-09-2005, 03:48 AM

Arrested Development

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.
