Lol! The only one on list I ever watched was “Twin Peaks”, and when was that? Late 1980’s? Shows how much network television I watch, pretty much the only channels I watch anymore are the news channels and occasionally some of the science/history channels.

The Tick ... spin off of the cartoon and hilarious send up of super heroes. One season on Fox in 2001. Available on Netflix.

[Lazamataz]

Breaking Bad is missing.

I semi-agree with Jericho, but it was devolving into a soap-opera-ish series. Maybe it died when it should have.

[Scutter]

Agree. The Tick was hilarious.

[alancarp]

Interesting: I’ve never seen a single episode of any show in that list.

[jy8z]

Mission Impossible. Today’s technology would make for some great story lines.

[albie]

The Godfather 4, 5, 6, 7....

[Sparklite]

Babylon 5
JAG
Supercarrier
Seinfeld
F Troop
The Office (UK)
Foley Square
Police Squad
One Day at a Time
Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour

Star Trek

Oh wait it did

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

Now here’s my list:

1) Hogan’s Heroes
2) Green Acres
3) Beverly Hillbillies
4) Gilligan’s Island
5) Lost in Space
6) Dragnet
7) Batman
8) Addams Family
9) Munsters
10) Johnny Sokko

Every one of these mentions is like greener grass across the road! If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride!

Still, I will join the meme. I'd like more episodes of the "Babylon 5" follow-on; J. Michael Straczynski's "Crusade" (1999). I think that if the cable TV universe had been more established, we might have seen some.

Have never even heard of most of these. Have never even watched ANY of them.

So I guess I really shouldn’t comment. But I just did.

(lol)

[dfwgator]

I invoke the M*A*S*H Rule.....No show should run longer than the war it portrayed.

[Sybeck1]

Where’s Get a Life?

What about Crime Story?

[IYAS9YAS]

Eureka

Eureka nuked the fridge with the whole timeline thing. Up to that point, it was pretty good, and a lot of fun.

[Still Thinking]

Agree on Firefly. Only one on the list I ever watched. Agree on Eureka with the other poster.

[howlinhound]

Agree 100% with Firefly! There was another show, with a great story, that ran one season in the mid-90’s called “Nowhere Man” that left everyone hanging when it was not renewed.

[Enterprise]

All comments are welcome. Other posters have mentioned a lot of shows I didn’t watch, or maybe only watched once.
