This is a funny list because it's all esteemed shows and then...ALF. I like ALF too. I also like Land of the Lost, mainly for nostalgia and i was a dinosaur freak as a kid.
Haha, yeah, if I went further with my list it would get all sorts of wacky. ALF is pure nostalgia for me. Grew up watching it every single week with the family. And plus, it's aged really well! Unlike, say, The Cosby Show, but that's for different reasons.
Lately I have been binge watching Dr. Who. I'm currently on the Tennant years. Great show, and a lighthearted diversion.
It only lasted for one season in the mid 70s, but The San Pedro Beach Bums was truly exceptional.
The Tennant and Tom Baker years are my favorites of all time. Tennant is my favorite all around Doctor though. Personally, I didn't care much for the Matt Smith years.
I didn't care for Tennant at first as he seemed too over the top but he definitely grew on me. It's always jarring when they change doctors.
It's funny because I grew up catching episodes on PBS when I was a kid. The Baker run was on PBS and I didn't know a damn soul who watched it but me. Living in a rural area, Doctor Who isn't exactly a staple of entertainment. But, I've always loved the hokey nature of the show. The Baker years saw some great stories being put on screen with some terrible set design, haha Tennant is the best actor to play the Doctor though. Felt like he embodied those who came before him, but made the role his own.
Dr. Who is a very popular show in Europe. Here it has more of a cult following.
You know, I couldn't get anyone to watch it growing up or throughout my 20's and 30's. Now, it's popular here, go figure, huh?
F-Troop. Silly comedy. I do like silly comedy except for Green Acres. Some of characters really got on my nerves but if I had s choice of watching a Green Acres marathon or watching the impeachment hearings on any of the networks and I don't want to start another political discussion I would pick the Green Acres marathon.

The Bionic Woman as well. Major crush on Lindsey Wagner as a kid. I liked the Hulk show with Bill Bixby.
Hogan's Heroes, I'm watching it right now!!!!!

The Dukes of Hazzard was fun. I remember when the two stars asked for more money and CBS fired them and replaced them with 2 cousins. Ratings plummeted and the two stars were back ha.
Who can forget the Luke/Bo throwdown? Luke was in the Marines, lest anyone forget, and was skilled at hand to hand combat. Bo could scrap, but not on that level. It's all anyone was talking about at recess the next day.
Not underrated but I recently rewatched The Sopranos. Just a masterpiece. I even liked the ending; but I get why people don't. (Bobby and Tony talk about death, and Bobby says "I think it just fades to black" or something like that.)
