I'd have to go way back. TV quality seems inversely proportional to the number of channels available.
The following always made me feel disappointed as they approached the end of their time slot every week so I'd consider them the cream of the crop:
Police Squad - all 6 glorious episodes.
Miami Vice
The Wire
South Park
From what I just heard from an old friend, I nominate Freaks and Geeks, although I haven't seen it yet.
Apparently it was the Lakeside version of my Fairlane Towne Centre youth.
The Wire. The best show of all time. If you haven't watched it, rent it.
That was a good show until the end of the last episode where the lead girl decided to become a Dead Head. Boo.
I liked the goofy guidance counselor.

It looks like there are a lot of episodes on You Tube.
Weeds [[recent)
Soap [[70"s)
Strangers with candy [[1998-2000)
Pushing Dasies [[2008)
Anybody remember "Frank's Place"?
"The John Larroquette Show" [[First Season Only)
Dae Jang Geum
A Korean tv series shown all over the world. I've watched the first 18 hours which is all Netflix had of the series. It is a fascinating series about an orphan in 1500ad Korea who eventually becomes the King's personal doctor; unheard of in Confucian Korea. A very bright woman in a sophisticated society.

I'm a fan of the failed

Sledge Hammer!

You mentioned awhile back in a similar thread also being a Manimal fan, and I said how much I liked Tales of the Gold Monkey.I'm a fan of the failed

Another show that was awesome, but didn't quite make it, was the British game show Interceptor. Good synopsis of that show here.

Hammer was a takeoff/spoof of the Dirty Harry flicks.
