Square Pegs.
Sports Night. (Almost forgot this, and I don't even like sports)
Police Squad, In Color!
Breaking Away. (Almost better than the movie. Some of the same actors.)
Dexter. (Not sure of the title. Chad Lowe as a high school student, based on Holden Caulfield.)

I fell in love with Rashida Jones & Jeri Ryan on Boston Public.
Maybe Married With Children was such a success that Get a Life seemed like a failure. Oh, the irony.
Two more similar shows from the early 90's.
- Afterdrive (Dennis Leary, Billy Kimball)
- Comics Only (Paul Provenza, Fred Wolf)
Afterdrive was the show to watch after you drove home in your evening commute from work. Kind of a variety/talk show.
Comics Only was a talk show featuring only comedians. I'm surprised that neither of the two hosts became more famous. They had some hilarious bits and short films.

It's been mentioned a few times but the single season given to Firefly is probably the worst travesty against the arts ever committed by man.
Back to the 60's.
T.H.E. Cat, starring Robert Loggia.

Robert Loggia 1930-2015
"Out of the night comes a man who saves lives at the risk of his own. Once a circus performer, an aerialist who refused the net. Once a cat burglar, a master among jewel thieves. Now a professional bodyguard. Primitive... savage... in love with danger. The Cat!"

When I read the first thread, Brisco County, Jr. was my first thought.
Bruce Campbell is my favorite over actor. And Kelly Rutherford added all the sexy the show needed.
I was disappointed when it was dropped. I think the show was a little over the head of the average TV audience and that is why it didn't run further.

Agree 100%, what the network did to that show was a crime.
Also in complete agreement. I am a big fan of 'The Chin' for a long time. I think you're right about the audience and that is what contributed to its demise.
