Ok I need to update the op.

What about Stargate? Didn't I see some threads on here that one of those series was pretty good?

Didn't Highlander turn into a series too?

Classics nominations:

Cheers & Night Court

This post reminds me of when Rummy would post the new Netflix movies into one thread, and update it every month. That was around 2011-2012, when it was good for movies. They still had all of those Starz movies.

First six seasons of The Walking Dead, maybe just watch a recap of 7 and 8 and then watch 9 and 10

I'd vote yea to both of these.

SG-1 and Atlantis stand up pretty well for 'modern day setting' sci fi.
The concept of a secret Air Force goes well with the Cheyenne Mountain complex, and Trump's Space Force blurbs (...I wonder....); and little is actually dated onscreen. The usage of P90's as a compact, high capacity carbine fits today as well as it did then; the military hair and uniforms don't go as far out of style like a civilian show might.

As for Highlander the series, Duncan is a smooth mofo, and particularly the early seasons set in France are great to look at. And the dude is graceful, so the swordplay is nice in my opinion.

Parks and Rec

Didn’t see True Detective (sorry if missed it). Gets tricky with the dip in season 2 and rebound in season 3. But season 1 is must see, right?

Still not sure on the ranking system but as far as comedies, id nominate Eastbound and Down and Vice Principles in there. Two of the funniest comedies i've ever seen.

Also, as far as shows cancelled too early, I think Freaks and Geeks is #1. One of the best single seasons ever. That was 1999-2000.

Also Also, another show that was criminally cut off too early was The Knick. Great show with Clive Owen. It ran for two seasons. If it was on HBO/Showtime instead of CineMax (although owned by Time Warner through HBO, it doesnt get the viewers), it would have been a pretty big hit.
