I avoid those type of shows. I feel a little creepy watching them. When I watch them I revert myself back to HS/college age. So I still think KK is hot, but then think about she is supposed to be in HS and kinda creep myself out.

I recently dusted off my Freaks and Geeks DVD boxed set for my 15 y/o son and he binged the whole thing. It's still good.
Watching the METV remembers the MASH finale at this moment ironically. Great show. Thinking of watching Alf on my Tubi app soon as I think my oldest kid might like it. My 1st grader is hooked on The Brady Bunch right now that we bought the entire collection on DVD this summer that includes the movies as well as the spin off shows after the original aired.
Seinfeld. I was never an avid fan when it was on, and definitely caught episodes of it here and there, but my wife was a huge fan so we have been working our way through it on Hulu. Great for having on in the evening if we are both finishing some work and need something on in the background or for winding down before bed.
Revenge of the Nerds. Watched it with my son when he was younger. Man they edited a lot more when I was younger, not a wise choice on my part.
Where can I find that to stream? It's possible I won't get around to watching it, but might try at least for the earliest episodes. I don't know if I remember it being in common syndication.
Quincy, M.E. I watched it as a kid. I binged a couple seasons on Netflix. I want Jack Klugman's Quincy in charge of COVID mitigation! Some of the themes are a bit dated, but it still holds up.

I watched "Quincy" loyally. I'm curious if I'd still like it. Seems like it's kind of a step-grandfather to "CSI."
I've seen it thru 5-6 times now and it only gets better. Even the seasons where Michael is gone you can appreciate more and more.
Trying to think of some to add that haven't been posted.

CSI O.G.! I still enjoy it, though, as I said, you can see that some of the themes are a bit dated. Society has changed and I'm guessing old Quince would have a slightly different take on some issues today.
Dead Like Me
It's got a great cast (Mandy Patinkin!) and the black humor is fantastic. Shame it was cancelled after 2 seasons (there was a movie, but it's not worth watching). You can catch it on Prime. I have it on DVD and watch it every once in a while. Really enjoyable.

Just wanted to throw in a comment about Everybody Loves Raymond (which was a favorite of mine when it was first-run). If you haven't seen the episode titled "Marie's Sculpture," you have to. Doris Roberts (RIP) is so excellent in that show and this episode is a hilarious highlight of the entire series. It's season 6, episode 5.
I didn't watch West Wing when it was on TV, but now that it's on Netflix and I'm going to have a lot of downtime at home this winter, it might be time.
A few years ago I bought the box set of Home Inprovement as it wasn't available on any of the streaming services that I had at the time. That was a show my family would watch together nearly every week when I was a young child. Holds up pretty well.
I'd like to know that too. It was in syndication in the late 90s I think. They only produced the first season on DVR.
