I forgot Superstore. Great relatively new comedy.
Last night my TiVo reminded me about Brockmire. Great, great show. I love Hank Azaria, and am hoping this season still works without Amanda Peete (or that they bring her back quickly).
By far, the favorite around here is Agents of SHIELD. fingers still crossed that season 6 will happen…
Doctor Who is probably the current #2. (Moffat fatigue has pushed it down a bit, but here’s hoping the new writers will bring it back up.)
The Orville is up there too, and the hiatus is feeling interminable.
On the comedy side, Life in Pieces isn’t as consistent as it once was, but still has enough good stuff to make it the only comedy we really watch.
You reminded me of a non-current show that’s new to me, *Continuum *on Netflix. Lexa Doig (Andromeda herself), that guy from Dark Matter (you know, the black one), a gorgeous female lead, Cigarette Smoking Man, and a kid playing the teenaged CSM who sorta looks like him. And I’m almost done with Perception with Will from The Jack and Karen Show. I think he has another canceled show I can then segue into.
Program descriptions for old nerds.
Shameless… aren’t we all.
The Simpsons (1989-present) and The Price is Right (1972-present). I can’t remember the last time I started watching a new show.

The best new show in ages, imho, and one that someone no one in this thread has mentioned, is Killing Eve on BBC America.
Capsule summary from google:
“Eve’s life as a spy is not adding up to what she had hoped it would be when she started. She is a bored, very smart, MI5 security officer who is very desk-bound. Villanelle is a very talented killer, mercurial in mood, who clings to the luxuries of her job. Eve and Villanelle go head to head in a fierce game of cat and mouse, each woman equally obsessed with the other as Eve is tasked with hunting down the psychopathic assassin.”
Not sure why you’re including stuff on Netflix, since everything there is always “on the air” and binge-able for as long or slowly as you’d like. I suppose I could exclude ones that were abruptly cancelled without a satisfying conclusion.
Ones that are still “on the air,” or on hiatus with a definite or very likely a next season.
Westworld
Game of Thrones
The Good Place
The Blacklist
Travelers
Gotham
Altered Carbon
Jessica Jones
Daredevil
The Defenders
Stranger Things
Lost in Space
Doctor Who
Orange is the New Black
Glitch
Colony
The Crown
Shameless
The Man in the High Castle
There is, of course, a a TON of other stuff that you can watch from beginning to end out there. The only reason I can think to exclude them I think, is because you want to be hip on what’s happenin’ with water cooler talk?
Because it’s not about what’s available, it’s about what’s new, and Netflix does produce original content. Cheers has been available on Netflix for some time, but it definitely ain’t new.
Blue Bloods, Madame Secretary on regular TV.
My wife likes true crime stuff, so Investigation Discovery a lot - mostly See No Evil about people being caught on CC camera, or Justice Served: Murderous Affairs, about spouses killing each other for the life insurance.

I watch Chance, Gotham, Jessica Jones and other fellow marvel series, Westworld (but I really don’t think the 2 season will be as good and the 1 one), Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Game of Thrones, The Good Place, Punisher, Family Guy, American Dad, Walking Dead (but I wouldn’t recommend it and will not continue watch it myself
), Looming Tower wasn’t bad.
For those who like animated kid’s shows, by far my favorite series currently extant is Star vs. the Forces of Evil, on Disney XD (which also produced Gravity Falls, which is awesome but not ongoing).
I forgot about this one, but I think it’s hilarious. And in case you’re not familiar with it, the show is based on the family and memories of the show’s creator, Adam Goldberg. Many episodes end with a clip of a home video from the creator’s childhood showing the inspiration or real-life incident that inspired the events in the show. So some scenes in the show are more-or-less faithful recreations of one of these videos. And many of the characters on the show (both family and friends of the main character) are based on real people who are also sometimes shown in the present day during the end of the episode.
