This.

I don't watch much TV now, but I loved that show when I was younger. Felt more gritty than most, and wasn't chock full of B actor drama with 5 minutes of CG.

The Unit is the only show on your list that wouldn't be on mine, only because I never watched it. Chuck is the main one for me, though. I wish they'd make at least a movie since Chuck and Sarah got such a crappy ending.

Leverage and Psych I liked the endings to, and Burn Notice was OK, although I hoped it would end with him doing the same kind of odd jobs with the gang full-time by his own choice, instead of it being is time-killer while working on the burn notice.

For me, the Unit is a good one. It's not highly recognized by most, but the people I've heard talk about it love it.

There's just something about a super secret group of army rangers that no one knows about that go in and do the impossible, and usually in a seemingly very realistic way.

The first episode called 'First Responders' more or less sets the idea for the series. A super secret group of army rangers whose commander takes orders directly from the president. I'd suggest giving a few episodes a watch.

One that probably no more than 1 or 2 other people here have possibly seen, "Action" a sitcom about the movie business.

Only lasted 8 episodes of the 13 episodes that were produced and was one of the dirtiest, most profane comedies to ever air on network TV. It's a miracle that Fox let it on the air in the first place.

FYI in case you were not aware, there was a new season of Red Dwarf last year, and another one coming in 2015.

Interesting to see all the Firefly people It really does have a cult following.

I Dream of Jeannie

A show like that would never make it to pilot today. a Hot chick who is a slave dressed to make her even more smoking hot calling the man, Master? lol

Better Off Ted... only two seasons, what a damn shame

This.

It's the only show I watched after it ended and wished it had lasted longer.

there will never be anything like it again.

this! I have a post of them on my bedroom wall.

Alien Nation.

 

[zinfamous]

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

yup!

Although now I get to miss Newsroom.

and goddamn yup! what the hell?!

How does this show end so suddenly, after 2.5 seasons? Did Soorkin just decide to drop his mic and walk off or something?

 

[zinfamous]

X-Files was a big favorite of mine when I was in HS.

I liked Firefly but never saw it while it was on TV. Would have liked more.

Really liked Human Target.

Leverage
Burn Notice
Psych
The Unit
Chuck

The Unit was so damn good. I keep hoping that Mamet will write/direct a feature film based on The Unit, but I feel that ship has sailed. I think he's too busy with plays again. :\

Good, I had thought I had caught up on the Red Dwarfs, maybe not altogether yet.

Glad to hear they're still going.

To be honest I kinda gave up on The Newsroom after about the 4th episode, just my personal opinion I guess.

Love that show when I was a little. And of course, several shows that already being mentioned above.

I like Mamet as a writer and wish he'd write for more TV and movies. I don't want him to be both writer and director.

For example, I really enjoyed The Spanish Prisoner, but I didn't for one second forget I was watching a movie and achieve full movie immersion. I really like full movie immersion.

Breaking Bad, Star Trek: TNG, and Jericho

I saw some people with 24 on their list... do you really think that one is dead? I think that Fox will bring it back for another run a few years from now. Jack Bauer is unkillable

The last season of Dexter was sooo bad that I find myself unable to miss that one.
