One of my absolute favourite shows from my childhood, sadly cancelled after 13 episodes. There have been rumours of a reboot but nothing confirmed for a while.
The sarcastic title character, shows a depiction of teen angst, family life, relationships, and other social issues still strike a remarkable chord with the modern world.
Four eras, four seasons, aired 1983-1989. Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson, and Rik Mayall. Hilarious and, in the end, famously poignant. 
A chronicle of the lives of a dysfunctional family who run an independent funeral home in Los Angeles.
Set hundreds of years in the future, humans are able to send consciousness back in time and return to the 21st century in an attempt to save humanity from a terrible fate.
What is an old show you think is great and really doesn't get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?
Inspired by seeing Lee Pace in the Pushing Daisies post. I feel like this show got overlooked amongst many of AMC's big hits around this time - Walking Dead, Mad Men, Breaking Bad. But Halt and Catch Fire deserves to be right up there with the best of them. The storytelling is rich and compelling, the writing is great, the characters are nuanced and dynamic, and the actors are phenomenal. The show manages to capture different eras for the same characters flawlessly with each season - the sense of time and place is so well developed, and there is strong conceptual continuity throughout the show despite each season having a very different arc, look, and sometimes tone. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out!
Created by Jonathan Nolan. A seemingly procedural show that also deals with privacy and sentient AIs and espionage. The series centers on a millionaire geeky dude that developed a computer program that can predict terrorist acts, crime and the like (with some limitations), and his pal, a former Special Forces dude who tries to prevent such events. The show was super relevant back in the day with all the Snowden, Assange, surveillance and privacy stuff going on. Also raises a lot of ethical issues about privacy, free will, etc. The main cast are all winners and all have awesome character arcs. It has the NYPD, the CIA and even the Government and the mob. After 4 solid seasons, it was given a fifth and final season to wrap things up, and did it with a bang. *"This is AI done right!"* - @victron@lemmy.world *"This is like Batman, but the brains/money and brawn are two people, omg!"* - The same dude.

https://youtu.be/LCdypqCdydE Age wise I dunno if it holds up. the episodes are available on YouTube as at this point it's pretty much nearly lost media: https://youtu.be/nRTlgcCmu3U It's an acted out gameshow where people have to solve a murder. The premise is quite interesting, near the end of the episodes they have an elimination where they send 2 people to a place and the murder searches from them. Only 1 person makes it back. I thought I'd share this. I remember seeing this on the BBC when I was a kid
And oh god, there's so much stuff I hadn't noticed the first time around, and a few foreshadows that send shivers down my spine. It's truly an amazing show. "The fuck did I do?"
 Great series, only two seasons, killed off by the writers strike back then
It was the first show that I can remember that was able to survive major shifts in the way the story was told.
We've been revisiting Futurama in the lead up to its Hulu return and I have to say the show is still one of the best of all time. The jokes still hit and the characters may even be MORE lovable than I remember. What are some of your favorite moments? (from the old show of course)
I never watched this show when it was new, but I find Sydney and Jack to be wildly incompetent, just magically lucky. How many missions does Sydney have to shoot her way out of because she made a mistake or a really bad choice? I am enjoying the show, but sometimes it just seems like way too much.
