Been meaning to check that one out.

It doesn't quite fit the criteria of the OP since it was critically acclaimed, but I feel that "The Larry Sanders Show" is a mostly forgotten classic. It's rarely spoken of on TD and it's in my top 5 comedies of all time, probably behind only Arrested Development and Peep Show.

Oh, and "Terriers" totally fits. Firefly and "Freaks and Geeks" always get the attention as classic one offs, but Terriers isn't too far behind and I may prefer it to F&G.

King of the Hill.

Not only is it one of the greatest cartoons, it's one of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

It blows my mind how much good advice I got from that show.

Masters of Sex- haven't seen the S2 thread in a while.

It's consistently knocking it out of the park with top notch acting.

Chuck and Farscape were both shows that could deliver great episodes of TV. Granted, not every episode, but when they were hot both shows top notch. As odd as it will sound Warehouse 13 turned out some really good episodes during their run on Sci Fi.

When I say credit, I mean mainstream popularity. AKA Emmy nods. I just started season 8 of Trailer Park Boys and holy shite is it just as funny as the beginning. This show is criminally underrated. It is the type of show that is even funnier the second time you watch it. I realize it has a cult following, but it deserves to be in the mix with parks, modern family, and BBT. JMHO. Who is with me?

It is awesome, but because of the content, foul language, nudity ect... it could never get the mainstream following of those shows.

Also, it's a Canadian show, how popular is it in Canada?
