Most underrated old shows


Not all old shows get as much attention or praise. Which ones do you think are the most underrated? Some of mine...


Golden Years (I really liked it, even though the ending stunk and didn't make sense)

Fame (It's a great show which too few have seen)

Come Fly With Me (It had me dying with laughter at several scenes)

THE THREE STOOGES
THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW

You still don't understand that The Three Stooges was produced for showing in cinemas. Just because it was later shown on TV does not make it a TV series.

No. All the classic 1930s-1950s Three Stooges shorts were produced for cinemas.

Just because the old 1930s-1950s film shorts were shown on TV in the 1960s does not make them a TV series. They weren't produced for TV, hence they are not a TV series.

The only Three Stooges content produced for TV was an awful cartoon series of the 1960s that nobody remembers, and an unsold pilot from 1949 that never aired.

The one I always mention as being overlooked and underappreciated is Northern Exposure. Quirky, sweet, poetic, spiritual. But maybe, more now than ever, its most salient feature was its optimism and generally warm-hearted and positive vision of the world and our place in it. It might have seemed quixotic back then but now it seems basically alien in our current climate torn asunder in unceasing rancour.

This is essentially a classic fish-out-of-water story, where a liberal Jewish New York doctor finds himself marooned in Cicely, Alaska. Great characters, sweeping landscapes, ambitious and surreal in style, this was maybe TV's closest approximation to realistically projecting a utopia.

The Three Stooges Show was a TV series which ran from 1960 to 1972. And it was live-action. The old shorts from the 30's-50's weren't a show, but there has definitely been a show (non-cartoon) based around the Stooges.

Buffalo Bill (Dabney Coleman, Geena Davis, Joanna Cassidy)

Donald Trump is the weak man's vision of a strong man.

If you mean The Three Stooges Show (1960), that "show" was a local series aired in Indianapolis which consisted entirely of the old 1930s-1950s movie shorts being presented by hosts.

The 1960s cartoon series, The New 3 Stooges (1965), did feature some live-action wraparound segments (with Joe DeRita playing Curly Joe) but it's hardly classic stuff. They were really past their prime by then.
