What is a show that used to be extremely popular and massive but is almost completely forgotten?

Are there any TV shows, live-action or animated, that are forgotten these days but in their time they were incredibly popular? Like, the show gets tons of episodes, lasts for a while, it gets tons of merch and promotion, it gets tons of seasons, but... it's now completely obscure to the general public at large.

Remember Lost? People on the morning talk shows would talk about episodes from the night before. Now it's like the whole show never happened.

Amazing first episode, still remember watching it on a little CRT tv back in 2004 as a kiddo. It went all downhill from there tho

I honestly watched only a handful of episodes, but was well aware of its popular success.

Maybe it was GOT that made people forget about it. Who knows?

They brought it back a few years ago. I never saw it though. It was popular at the time but it was nothing special either.

THE REUNION SEASON WAS PRETTY SOLID.

Alice (1976) ran for 9 seasons.

It set the standard for the waitress sitcom (It's A Living, 2 Broke Girls, those episodes of Roseanne where Roseanne was a waitress, etc.).
