Let's get some positivity up in here...

To name a few from my list
  • NewsRadio
  • My So-Called Life
  • Arrested Development - on here because it got canned after 3 seasons
  • Nathan For You
  • Freaks and Geeks
  • Friends With Better Lives - I'm sure everyone will disagree but I thought it was hilarious
  • The Goldbergs - much funnier than the vast majority of so-called comedies that get awards
  • Raising Hope
  • Wings - the syndicated reruns on USA were a staple of my childhood summers
I haven't seen this one, but I plan to since it is on nearly every list of shows that got cancelled too soon - Firefly

Just started watching Freaks and Geeks, but was a little let down tbh. I think I needed to see it when it came out. I shouldn't have expected to see the Rogen and Franco that we know today. Jason Segel was the only one who didn't show his inexperience.

New Girl
Rick and Morty (Although this show is still pretty new, I expect it to really take off)
Goldbergs
Rescue Me
Oz

A lot of the shows, like Wings, are not under rated. They're just older and forgotten.

Wings was a great show and big at the time.

Rogan was a non-factor in that show. The geeks were the best.

Do yourself a favor and check out "Undeclared." It's about dorm life for college freshmen and Segel plays the extremely older, obsessed boyfriend of one of the freshmen. He's hilarious and accurate too.

Cast had Charlie Hunnam, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Jay Baruchel and more. Even in the pilot episode, you see a young Jenna Fischer and Tom Welling.

Here is the pilot episode.

Undeclared was OK, I never really liked it that much. Perhaps my expectations were too high? I went into binge watching right after I finished Freaks and Geeks.

Jonathon Nolan's Person of Interest is a show I love that nobody watches. I think it gets better each season as it becomes more serialized.

I also like Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, which is a show that only lasted two seasons.

Firefly is good and I definitely recommend it, but with the cult following it has, it's almost become overrated. It's definitely one that makes you wonder what could have been. Definitely watch the movie Serenity after Firefly as it gives pretty good closure.

Another underrated one is Chuck, which also stars Adam Baldwin from Firefly.

So hot and cold on this. Happy Endings was so witty. One of my favorites. Parks and Rec I thought got it's due attention. Big Brother? Maybe I need to sit down and watch it. I remember when it first aired around when Survivor came out and it did nothing for me.

+1 for Aqua Teen

Rules of Engagement. Not a show that I watched new episodes religiously every week, but to me there's no funnier sitcom to watch for 30-60 mins when you're not looking for any show in particular and just flipping through channels. 4 hilarious dudes, 2 super hot chicks. I'll take it.

Nice, it's on my Netflix queue. I'll get around to it one of these years!

Six Feet Under...Overshadowed by some other HBO shows, but it can stand with any of them.

Bloodline...I know it gets good reviews, but it is rarely mentioned with the best shows. It should be.

Dear John. Anyone else remember this show? Judd Hirsch being the star. Thought it was a pretty good show.

American Dad and Bob's Burgers are the best animated shows on television right now, not Family Guy or South Park.

Coach was one of my favorite shows as a kid.

Hat tip to the folks that mentioned Happy Endings. I don't find it overly funny but it's entertaining, and Elisha Cuthbert's character is awesome.
