The Sopranos. "Gabagool? Over heeeeere."
Finally started watching Mindhunters after years of reading glowing reviews and.... totally get it. Can't stop watching.
I keep hoping that one gets revived... I know it won't but I love it so!
Haibane Renmei. For a show that's 23 years old with only 13 episodes, I manage to hear new and unique opinions about it like once a week
It's a perfect anime for people who like anime, but not, like, anime anime. No fight scenes, no sci-fi, no spellcasting, just a girl with amnesia trying to get used to the strange walled town she recently woke up in. There are not enough superlatives to describe how much I love this show
A girl with Amnesia and a halo and angel wings if I remember correctly, it had a unique quiet vibe
Red Dwarf, I used to watch it with my dad while he was alive.
Have you read the books? The first two make the show look like a pile of wet garbage, and I love the show.
It's cold outside...
There's no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone, more or less...
Stargate SG-1, then the others lol
firefly
Even the movie wasn't enough, damn you Fox.
I'm about to jump into The Twilight Zone from 1959.
Where will he go next? This phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare. Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because, through these things, we keep him alive.
Such a cool quote. Rod Serling was an awesome writer.

I am sending this to my kids, who have crushed hard on:
X files
Bones
Supernatural
Killing Eve
Friends
Probably ten more I am forgetting
Honestly I think they have watched more 1990/2000s TV than I ever did, I was too busy raising them & their siblings.
I rather enjoyed Hung from HBO
Yes, what a great time for escapism.
NBC shouldn't have cancelled The Pretender days after that explosive cliff hanger!
Will & Grace?
I remember that show! Jack and Karen amused me
I have decided to see all Star Trek series.
I have gone through The Original Series. The Animated Series and now doing The next Generation about half way through season 5!
TNG is my favourite star trek! Who is your favourite character?
I quite like Q even though he's not a major character really. But Data is probably my favourite of the main characters. Likewise Spock from TOS
Good call! Funnily enough they're my 2 favourites too. Although now I'm older I appreciate Picard more...
Barney Miller
Not exactly niche, but I like to watch the red green show when I can catch it on
I believe it is on Tubi, free to watch with some adds.
Corner gas!! Basically "Friends" with different people in Canda.
Corner Gas is so much better than it needs to be. I always think of it as “Seinfeld on a Prairie.”
Is Penny Dreadful considered niche?
Someone else said Friends, so I think Penny Dreadful counts
I know there used to be niche shows, but then covid happened and we all had nothing to do
Fringe, life on mars(both American and British versions)
The Littlest Hobo
That's an amazing show
Pushing Daisies! I love it so much.
Oh man, that was a good one
