Warrior...though this one is allegedly coming back for a third season. This show is bad ass. It was on Cinemax, now HBO Max. Producers of Banshee + Bruce Lee's daughter = killer fight scenes.
@mark - firefly with Nathan Fillion? If so, we may have found something we agree on. Serenity was a decent conclusion to Fox botching the airing and cancellation of the show.
CMI - Breaking Bad had a great conclusion so I wouldn’t call it missed. Plus, we also go El Camino and Better Call Saul, which picked up after a slow start.
Deadwood - poor finish, but the movies helped put a good ending on it.
With Hulu, Prime, and other streaming services, I don't miss shows much because I re-watch them whenever I want. But I cannot find NewsRadio or WKRP anywhere, and would very much like to relive those shows. Also, two shows I watched regularly when they were on, that both ended on cliffhangers that I wish could have been resolved: Alf and My Name Is Earl.
Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Dexter and Walking Dead are also among my fav TV shows. But, with the cold breath of Death on the back of my neck, I don't feel I have time to watch the same shows twice. Also miss Red Dwarf. Some episodes of Walking Dead in later seasons feel padded. To much character introspection, to few plot points.
Can't say I watched The Man Show a lot but loved the "girls on trampolines" segment. Probably could never do something like that on TV these days. However, I had a big surprise a week or so ago when I saw Blazing Saddles come up on a cable movie channel. Thought I would never see that aired again.
I see "The walking Dead" mentioned a couple of times. It was filmed at Raleigh Studios Senoia GA, about 15 miles from me. Now that the series has ended the homes that were used in filming are now up for sale starting at 700K.
I guess I don’t really miss any old TV shows. One can find about anything on the streaming services now.
I general I do wish the networks would show some creativity and come up with a decent sitcom. Probably haven’t had one since Big Bang Theory (early years)
I know reality shows are cheap but I don’t like them. And quit with recycling known commodities. Are we gonna have a CSI or NCIS in every city
"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."
Yeah - I used to like Leno a lot (I also like watching his current show Jay Leno's Garage) - i used to like watching Colbert till he became a political-shithead and haven't watched him since the woke-virus broke-out - makes me wonder if Leno would have been forced to also go-woke if he was still around (probably so).
The older I got (currently 52) the less TV shows I enjoyed watching - off the top of my head two shows I used to really like back-in-the-day were Cheers, and Wings.
10+ years ago I got rid of all regular TV due to the damn commercials. Presently my TV needs come from Netflix and Hulu/STARZ. The one sitcom I miss is "Married with children". I really had the hots for Christina Applegate. I could watch reruns of it but I don't.
Since I can stream almost any old show I want, I miss shows like “The Sports Reporters” and “Mike & Mike” on ESPN. Two shows that were decent before ESPN got all woke and political.
Better yet, The Sports Reporters were a rip off of a local Chicago cable show called “The Sports Writers on TV” which aired in the late 80’s early 90’s

The Prisoner was great. I also liked another British import from around the same time, The Avengers.
A more recent series which I miss is Burn Notice. My all-time favorite stripper looked like the Fiona character in that series.

Some legendary Chicago sports writers appeared
Bill Jauss
Bill Gleason
Ben Bentley
Rick Telander
Were the primary regulars
All time favorite Brit comedy was Fawlty Towers.
Benny Hill was all the buzz among the college students but I thought Dave Allen was funnier
Amazing that they only made 12 episodes.
