I think the ninth season is the season of med school IIRC.

Newsradio is one of the best sitcoms of all time, and arguably the best ensemble cast

Gotta represent any time a thread like this pops up:

Chuck.

Scrubs, excluding the last 2 seasons.


I'm watching Scrubs now - is there a point when I should bail?


+1 for Chuck
I loved Seasons 1 & 2 of Chuck. After that, it was good, but not great.

It lost some of its luster for me when just anybody could be the intersect, and once Chuck got fighting abilities, that's pretty much the only thing he used the intersect for. The show was much better when Chuck was working at Buy More and needed Sarah and Casey to protect him from Fulcrum. And if the wrong person tried to "implant" the intersect in themselves, they could die.

The Adventures of Briscoe County Junior.


The orb ruined that show


You are correct, the show took a weird turn with orb.

should have just gotten rid of it like those polar bears on Lost.

Steven Root is going to be on Kevon Pollak's Chat Show podcast in the next few weeks. I'd love to see if he can still do that reading from his book.

I really liked Southland. I might have been the only one. Was really bummed when it was cancelled.
Yeah I thought that was pretty good too.

Newsradio. My favorite show of all time. If you are just starting it, they change a couple of the actors after 1 or 2 episodes.

It's a great combination of humors. Goofy with Andy Dick, brute force with Joe Rogan, the subtlety of Dave Foley, then the mastery of Phil Hartman in all his sarcastic glory.

One of the most underrated comic / straight man combos that's been on TV.

I've actually gotten sad watching reruns of that show because of Hartman.
Agreed.

they were awesome. But that wasn't all that show had by far.

Andy Dick was used sparingly but to genius effect. too much of him is not good, but they used him just enough. Often sight gags or clumsiness were involved. His unabashed worship of Hartmans character was fuel for his ego.

Stephen Root was actually perfect as a billionaire bottom line business man with some really odd hobbies and eccentricities and ties to every wacky conspiracy theory out there. But we also an odd kind of father figure.

Vicki Lewis quirky secretary was a gas, always with the subtle quick jabs and one liners.

The rest of the cast was a good balance. That had what now can be seen as some early left/right wing banter in their political stances and diatribes. Tame by todays comparisons of course.





I really like this guy. He's great in everything I've seen him in.

I'm with you on Chuck. Seasons 1 and 2 were definitely the best. But I really did enjoy 3 and 4 as well for the different angles they brought in.

I kinda wish Season 5 hadn't happened.

Season 5 had some bumps or decisions I wouldn't have made myself, but I think the finale is amazing.

Scrubs


I just got to the one in season 3 where Brendan Frazier character dies and holy cow that was a pretty incredible episode. I didn't see that twist coming at all.

Life with Damien Lewis was a really good show that was ended after just two years. I think it was a victim of the writers' strike.
I was coming here to post this. Damien Lewis AND Sarah Shahi. Really like(d) this show.

I really liked Ed. I haven't watched it in like 15 years so maybe it doesn't hold up, but I remember liking it back then and wishing it was available on Netflix.
For what it's worth, Ed is now being rerun on a DirectTV/Uverse channel called Up. DVR is handling it.

Has Fringe been mentioned?

The Good Guys - drama/ comedy on Friday nights that lasted one 20 episode season.

Thought it was hilarious, particularly Bradley Whitford.

Another that I thought of today was Las Vegas. It was mindless and had tons of eye candy but it wasn't bad and lots of the episodes were pretty fun.
