Wings is the right answer. And it holds up. I put Wings in the pantheon with Seinfeld. Certainly not the head god, but at least a demi-god worthy of your worship.

The 2 seasons with Alex are just about money as money can be.

Early seasons of Night Court.


Oh, and even more old school: Soap and Taxi.

The Nanny.

1) Funny
2) Drescher was damned easy on the eyes (though, not the ears)
3) Lots of homages to old, classic sitcoms (That Girl, I love Lucy, The Lucy Show, Dick Van Dyke Show [really funny since Anne Guilbert {Yetta} was Millie Helper on DVDS])
4) Cast stayed the same the whole run
5) The supporting characters were solid (esp. Niles, Sylvia and Yetta)

I always thought King of Queens was solid.

I still like Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, though that one was pretty popular...

What are some others?


Better Off Ted only ran for a season or two but was funny as shite.

This is correct.

Nah. It's correctly regarded as one of the worst shows ever. For it to be "under-appreciated" it would have to be better than that, which it isn't.

For me The Nanny is in a category by itself that goes beyond mere artistic shittiness

Listening to her speak is actually physically painful

The John Laroquette Show was sneaky OK. I also liked Head of the Class and Growing Pains.

Anyone remember a short lived show called Carpool I think? Had the kid from Stand by Me on it.
