The Top 300 Greatest TV Shows of All Time: FBG Consensus: 50 Lists received. 2: Seinfeld 1: Breaking Bad (18 Viewers)

And yes, I did see NewsRadio as the successor to WKRP in Cincinnati. Except with news instead of music.
I shouldn't be, but I am a bit surprised when I look and see so few of these old TV shows streaming. I remember watching a few episodes of WKRP in the day, and wanted to watch a couple. At least old Night Court is on Prime, so maybe I'll watch a few of those since I have a vague recollection of watching that one a bit.

Blast from the past. I liked the show enough but it never crossed my mind to include it here. Probably because it didn't get the syndication run where you stumbled upon it all the time. Don't think I have seen it all since it originally aired.


Locally, NewsRadio is on an hour a day on one of the free over-the-air broadcast sidebands, like MeTV or MyNetworkTV or LAFF or something. Like those channels numbered 4-3 or 9-2 or whatever.
 

81 - Mr. Inbetween​

Drama
Score: 367
Average Rank: 37.6

Ray Shoesmith is a father, ex-husband, boyfriend, brother and best friend; tough roles to juggle in the modern age. Especially, when you're also a criminal for hire.

I'm really surprised to see this already. Would have guessed top 50 and ranked by almost everyone. It's generally excellent, but also it aired on a major network in prime time while everyone on the board was alive, it's been heavily syndicated, and it's easily available on streaming platforms. I figured it would be the #2 or #3 sitcom of the entire list, after the US version of the Office (which hasn't come up yet I think) and BBT (which also I think hasn't come up yet).
I had already gone streaming by then - starting around 2008, I basically haven't seen anything from the networks.

WKRP is a special case, because of how expensive it is acquire the rights to stream other people's music. It would be prohibitively expensive to stream the WKRP episodes in their original form.

I keep forgetting that part of the equation. The same issue that kept another I assume we will see soon from being on discs and streaming.

You also can't find the original episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head streaming anywhere legally for that reason.

Such a clever show with great characters. If the main guy wasn’t so annoying I would have ranked it even higher - every other character was so much more interesting and entertaining than him.

Huge fan of this show, obviously, and have watched the entire series several times. Gilfoyle vs. Danesh, Erlich vs. Jian-Yiang, Jared vs. himself (and Holden), Jian-Yiang vs. everyone, etc. Constant hilarity, even if each season follows the same, fairly predictable, format.

The whole middle out compression scene is one of the funniest things I have ever seen

Their SWOT analysis was pretty great too

There’s some real subtle stuff too, I think they had like adult websites or something at a convention and one of them was Non-Consensual Santa

The whole Not Hotdog thing

Bighead being a complete moron but falling into great jobs

Lol yeah the porn convention names were great.

Show also did a great job avoiding any real romantic relationship stuff that would have ruined. Imagine if they had Monica and Richard get together? They hinted at it at the end of Season 1, I think, and it would have majorly aftered the show.

Tina and Alec Baldwin as Jack made a great duo

I've only watched a handful of episodes but I never really got why this was so loved. I guess Sheldon is funny but also equal parts annoying.

I'll admit my bias against network TV shows is showing here. Just seems to be so much good stuff out there that something like this never gets my attention.
