What is an old show you think is great and really doesn't get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?

Terriers.

One season, 13 episodes. Great writing, great acting, real-life bffs playing bffs on screen and that chemistry shows (also real-life brother-sister relationship with the same dynamic). Not super trope-y and the ones they do lean on don’t end up playing out in the way you’d expect. It’s just a great show. I place it up there with Firefly and Freaks and Geeks when thinking about shows that only got one season and could have gotten sooooo much more love.

Oh SHIT! I'm sold. I'm putting this on my "dinnertime TV show" watch list which is a weird and kinda sad high regard; it's just the one show a day I really pay attention to.

Awesome. Let me know how you like it. I’ve recommended it to several people over the years and so far 100% of them really liked it.
