Agree. My answer every time someone has asked me what they should watch over the past couple months since I watched it has been Ted Lasso. Can't wait for season 2.

Slowly working my way through MASH on Hulu. I always loved that show as a kid.

Mare of Eastown on HBO. Saw social media start buzzing after this past Sunday’s episode so we binged the first 5. I get it now.
2 more episodes left.

Buckeyes are best
Also I rewatched all of Monk (8 seasons!!) with my daughters, who capped it off by creating an amazing homage episode in the backyard, with Randy Disher and Natalie Teeger played by broomsticks, and of course the one bank robber turned on the other guy...
Anyway, Monk is just a fantastic show the whole way through, with a really efficient production and the best casting that basic cable has to offer, which USA used to populate their other shows for years. John Turturro won an Emmy (well-deserved!) in the 1st season as Adrian’s brother, but then there's Stanley Tucci and Kevin Nealon showing up with hilarious Adrian impressions, and even a Snoop Dogg episode that really pops. Ted Levine (puts the lotion on the skin) as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer is one of the most under-rated serio-comic roles on TV, ever!, and his interaction with Monk and Disher is the real heart of the show. I have heard that Randy Newman theme song hundreds of times and it still just works.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Still occasionally enjoy watching a few of those shows on the "oldies TV channels"; however, sometimes I will DVR them and watch them anytime I want..

Went wire to wire on The Wire. It’s definitely in the greatest show conversation, though I can see where a vast swath of audience with no attention span expecting instant gratification would never get it. I know it’s an old show everyone in the world has seen already, so I won’t belabor it (though it’s a show that could bet it’s own thread that might get to 100 pages if there are devotees here).
I’ll say this, many modern shows in the “greatest” conversation are cynical in nature (Breaking Bad and the Sopranos come to mind immediately), but this has to be the single most cynical show in history, and for that I loved it. Season 5 kinda went off the rails a bit, but the final episode was almost perfect, as opposed to the Sopranos. That ending was dark man, and took a lot of balls. Bravo to everyone involved.
