The first season was great once the wives took a central role it dwindled.

Space Above and Beyond is one of my favorite shows.

Jericho was awesome as well and some great episodes.

Been mentioned by a few others, but "The Good Guys" is one of my favorite shows ever. Very few people remember it, and I never see anyone talk about it. Re-runs aren't shown anywhere.



It only got one, 20-epsiode season on FOX in 2010, before they pulled the plug. FOX kept moving it around time slots and finally left it to die in the Friday night slot. It was created by Matt Nix, who also created Burn Notice. I still have the DVD with all 20 episodes, and watch it every couple years.

It was a great show that was never really given a chance to last. Had it come out a few years later, a streaming service like Netflix probably gives it second life. It got poor ratings, but critics liked it, and the people who watched it mostly loved it.

It took the common buddy cop template and made it fun with creative non-linear storytelling, hilarious villains, and great comedy. Collin Hanks and Bradley Whitford made a great comedy duo. It perfectly straddles the line between spoof and homage to the 80s buddy cop shows. You'll laugh your arse off, if you get your hands on the one season that exists.

Hindsight VH1 cancelled after 1 season but great show with 90s music and nostalgia

Amazon prime has it but most of the music that made the show great was removed

I'm sure most, if not all of these have been listed, but here are my favorites that most people have likely forgotten about (both as an adult and from when I was a kid):

Jericho (awesomeness)
Fringe (rewatch thread is one of the best on this site)
Sports Night (rewatched several years ago, and it's still fantastic)
Carnivale (HBO)
Silk Stalkings (watched this ALL THE TIME back in the day - Mitzi Kapture was my jam)
Salute Your Shorts (classic)
Boston Public (remember loving this one in the early 00s)
Pinwheel (one of the GOATs from my childhood)
Today's Special (same as above)
Welcome to Pooh Corner (used to watch this every morning eating my cereal before school)
Shirt Tales (vague memories, but I had a coloring book as a kid that I loved)
Hey Dude (more like Hey, Melody)
Hangin with Mr. Cooper (classic - and great intro song)
Two Guys, A Girl, and A Pizza Place (Ryan Reynolds jam)
Hang Time (Saturday morning vibes)
City Guys (Saturday morning vibes too)
You Can't Do That on Television (classic memories growing up)
Dinosaurs (Not the mama)
California Dreams (Saturday morning vibes again)

I remember how they basically ended the series on a crazy finale involving a nuclear bomb. But, then brought it back the next season with a notice that the events of the following episodes were from five years beforehand.

I did like Terra Nova, but it took them forever to move the plot forward. It had an interesting finale with a cliffhanger, but then it didn't get renewed.

The Final Table on Netflix. It's the goat cooking competition show.all the contestants were legit Michilan Star quality chef's and the judges were not just star'd chef's but legendary chef's. Production quality was as good as it gets too. I rewatch it once a year or so.
