Sad Flower in the Sand
There is a trend in bizarre children's animation lately and Chower and Flapjack are definitely at the forefront... most of what I miss from cable is animation...
In rough order:
Peep Show
King of the Hill
Frasier
Rab C. Nesbitt
Still Game
Fawlty Towers
Beavis & Butt-head
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Office (both versions)
The Simpsons/Futurama (can't decide)
Blackadder
Mr Bean.
Most American/non-Scottish users won't know Rab C Nesbitt or Still Game. Both are classic Scottish sitcoms and worth checking out online. If you can understand the accent and slang you're in for a treat. Enjoy.

Appreciate your friends
Soap was very good. I forgot how much I enjoyed the humor of that show (Billy Crystal got his start in that?).
My two cents
Flintstones
Bugs Bunny-without road runner
Threes Company-just for Suzanne Sommers
Johnny Carson
Monty Python
Star Trek
Miami Vice-Ted Nugent as bad guy was amazing. We would watch this then hit the bars.
CSI That girl is just hot
In Concert
Midnight Special
Sopranos
Get Smart
This hour has 22 minutes

When HBO starts a new show like this they generally run the first three or four episodes before episode 4, just so people who didn't get in at the beginning can catch up.
Or you may be able to get HBO on demand on your cable system and watch the first few episodes that way.

Ren and Stimpy deserves some commendation.=)
To be more precise he says it like this: "Play for that money, boys. Play for it.":cool:
I liked it when the trombone player ad libed a version of St. James Infirmary in the hospital waiting room. Sort of reminded me of The Singing Detective...
Afterwards I looked up St James on Spotify & Grooveshark and was blown away by all the versions of this song...
Dave Walker, of the New Orleans 'The Times-Picayune' newspaper writes some highly informative info about each episode of Treme in the "'Treme' explained" articles at this site: http://www.nola.com/treme-hbo/ and also here: http://www.nola.com/treme-hbo/index.ssf/2010/04/. All kinds of detailed info about the names you hear on the show, locations and other tidbits.
Nerds went full-tilt boogie meltdown when this was cancelled (years ago) and having never seen it it was of no consequence to me but now that I just recently watched this I understand why they reacted the way they did. Great show that the corporate fucks at Fox did some injustice to:

Are YOU a TRAILER PARK BOY? If so, email me.
I've just finished watching The Wire for the second time (my partner hadn't seen it before) and I've just started watching Spiral which is meant to be a sort of French version of The Wire. I've only watched a couple of episodes but it's absolutely excellent and I'm hooked already. Be warned though, it's dark.

I relented and started watching this on Netflix a couple of weeks ago. Having been off cigarettes for a month I'm now considering taking up crystal in honor of how good this show is. It'll be lost on anyone who isn't British, but The Thick of It is a very, very good satire of British politics. These quotes from Malcolm Tucker (the anti-hero in the show) should give you a good idea (apparently there's a bloke in Canada who comes up with the insults...):
"Does that not fit within your purview, Marie Antoinette? Why don't you just scuttle off back to fucking Cranford and play around with your tea and your cakes and your fucking horse cocks. Let them eat cock!"
"If some cunt can fuck something up, that cunt will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck it up cause that cunt's a cunt."
"No, it's not good, I'm sorry, it's everywhere, spreading faster than a rent-boy's cheeks. We're gonna need a plan B here."
"You and me, Ollie, hey? I just realised that we're on the same boat, yeah? I mean, obvioulsy, I'm up on the bridge with the binoculars and the Richard Gere gear on, you're down in the engine room trying not to get bum-raped by a bunch of big lads with shovels, but, essentially, it's the same boat!"
"Moaning about minister on the phone: "He's about as much use as a marzipan dildo."
"You're so back-bench, you've actually fucking fallen off. You're out by the fucking bins where I put you."
"All these hands all over the place! You were like a sweaty octopus trying to unhook a bra."
"How much fucking shit is there on the menu and what fucking flavour is it?"
"Please could you take this note, ram it up his hairy inbox and pin it to his fucking prostate."
And this, this little conversation is just, well...
OLIVER REEDER
I understand that it's [puts up one hand] this party and [puts up the other hand] this party and we're [indicates hands] this party and they're this party, and therefore how can I influence that?
MALCOLM TUCKER
You take [puts up his hands the way Ollie did] this and this and you put it onto your bird's breasts, and you rub them and squeeze them very very gently, you get her into the sack, you bang her fucking brains out, you make sure that she comes and you just give her the policy!
OLIVER REEDER
But I... I chucked her. In a kind of 'it's not you' it's me' sort of... but it IS you, you hideous, vacuous, slow bitch from hell!
MALCOLM TUCKER
I'm really not interested at all in your little tiff. Get round her, take your Barry White album and your lube and your fucking policy folder!
OLIVER REEDER
Malcolm, this is really crossing the line!
MALCOLM TUCKER
Don't start with the moral objections, you fucking Blue Peter badge wearing ponce! Go and make a contribution to the fucking Amnesty International! Go and buy a goat a whole village can fuck, but you are doing this for me!
OLIVER REEDER
Malcolm! You're bullying me, and I dunno why you're bullying me...
MALCOLM TUCKER
How dare you! How dare you! Don't you ever, EVER, call me a bully! I'm so much worse than that.
Aye, The Thick of It is fantastic.

Northern exposure and the dog whisperer are in a class by themselves.
then there's who's line is it anyway - the spontaneity is so refreshing on tv, which the whole medium is mostly one group of guys telling everybody what to say and how to say it and how to look saying it (in other words, sheepleism)
second rate is all kinds of 'watchable' stuff - night rider, golden girls, sanford and son, chopped (food network), the office, the cosbys, the a team, mcgyver
third rate is stuff that is/was funny but does/would get old: seinfelfd, simpsons, saturday night live, daily show
oh, on pbs there's some good stuff - austin city limits for example
nostalgia points to beverly hills 90210 because i watched it to make a girl like me in 9th grade and liked it ... if hooch can admit to thirtysomething ...
