And sgu? Where is sgu?

@Pedrohbds I feel like SGU was trying too hard to capitalize on the dark, gritty tone of Battlestar Galactica, and didn't have a clear idea of how to do it. It wasn't even a bad concept, but the plot seemed overwhelmed with darkness without enough substance to sustain it.

JasonNash, I really enjoyed SG-1, and I'm ambivalent about Atlantis. There were things to like, of course, but I always felt like exploration of Atlantis itself could have been a bigger part of the plot — but maybe that would have fractured the storyline too much. Farscape was great, too — lots of tough questions about philosophy and ethical dilemmas, plenty of action, trippy by times, suspenseful, great character development.

I don't think I could narrow it down to just 5. So I'm going to cheat a little and do two sets of 5. One for comedies and one for dramas.

Comedies

  1. Community
  2. The Good Place
  3. Parks & Recreation
  4. Futurama
  5. Gravity Falls

Dramas

  1. Breaking Bad
  2. The Wire
  3. Person of Interest
  4. The Expanse
  5. Westworld

Honorable Mention = Avatar: The Last Airbender

The Expanse was amazing.

1

No particular order, and this is more “what I’ve watched recently” and is sitcom-heavy, but so be it.

Letterkenny: rapid-fire timing, and available on Hulu recently.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: It’s not 30 Rock, but similar absurdity and outrageous characters.

Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Well written and well acted, even the worst characters have moments where they are sympathetic.

Drunk History - every now and then, you might learn something from this, even as they work through the booze.

Mystery Science Theatre 3000 - Working through the new series now, but I still have my favorites from the original series.

Drunk History - I love that, but often forget about it being on.
Thanks for mentioning it.

Loved Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

MASH
Game of Thrones
Dexter
Quantum Leap

I loved Breaking Bad from the opening moments.

I was into Walking Dead for a long time but I haven't been able to watch it after they killed of Carl.

On edit --- I was thinking ---- dammit.

Dallas - that was some serious melodrama and has there ever been a more beloved villain than J.R.?

SNL - at least some seasons.

And I think people should chose either a cooking or crafting or gardening or This Old House type program. Skills get them.
