The Edge. Early 90’s sketch comedy show with Jennifer Aniston, Wayne Knight, Julie Brown, and Tom Kenney, among others.
If I am honest I only remember The Searcher. However according to Wikipedia
Anyone else remember a mid-90s thriller called ‘Profit’? It was about this psycho Wall Street dude who had devoted himself to manipulating and murdering his way to the top of a massive corporation. It only lasted about 7 episodes before FOX shitcanned it on a cliff-hanger, but it was really good.
I’m apparently the only person who ever liked the relatively recent NBC rendition of “Constantine”(based on the “Hellblazer” comics).
Matt Ryan did a pretty solid John Constantine, I thought, and Angelica Celaya made an awfully easy on the eyes Zed.
I loved Profit. The best part of it was that he was so damaged by his mother issues that he slept in a box.
The show I miss the most is Pushing Daisies.
I liked it, too, and was disappointed when it was not renewed. Constantine (played by the same actor) was on an episode of Arrow this season.

Oh, I forgot one. Jack and Bobby. The story is about two brothers and their single mother, one of whom grows up to become President, although the show doesn’t tell us which one it is. A LOT of the show was done with people in the future talking about their experiences with the two brothers. One of them is the girlfriend of the older brother who eventually winds up marrying the President, whoever that might be. Excellent show with an odd, wonky-sounding premise, but I really enjoyed it.
Another one I just thought of: Black Tie Affair, a 90s comedy with Bradley Whitford, Kate Capshaw, and John Calvin. Whitford was a private detective trying to find out who killed a millionaire. The show was hilarious, but its generic title killed it, I think. They were originally going to call it Smoldering Lust, but the network disapproved. The show was brilliantly written, by Jay Tarses, and eminently quotable.
Nope. They tell you at the end of the first episode that the younger brother becomes president and the older brother dies.
I was really into the concept and the set-up until that moment.
Scolari had a classic line: “If I had a million dollars for every wedgie I got in high school [pause] oh, wait…I do.” 
Starring future Oscar winner James Cromwell.
Going slightly OT: the show got cancelled because CBS got pressured from the Reagan administration regarding Ed Asner’s continuous protests of our shenanigans in Central America. At the time it was cancelled (ostensibly for RATINGS) it still had a 27 share. Even in 1982, that wasn’t exactly bottom-of-the-list.
Imagine 30 Rock with GOOD writing and NON-ANNOYING characters. :eek:
Funny, I’d describe 30 Rock as Studio 60 with good writing and non-annoying characters. To each his own, I guess.
I’d add my vote to Firefly, like so many others, and to Terriers as well. Life was surely just as much cut down in its prime. Better Off Ted started great: sad to see its potential squandered. These have all been mentioned multiple times in this thread.
The only show I’d add, which seems to me to not have been mentioned yet, is Dead Like Me. Only lasted two seasons, but my wife and I liked its quirky, dark humor quite a lot. Season 1 was better than Season 2, but the show had so much potential, it was very sad to see it fail.
I’ve been meaning to add Dead Like Me. In fact, that’s what I mistook reference to Pushing Daisies for.
I’m the lone weirdo who didn’t like Dead Like Me, I guess… oh I LOVED the premise, loved George, her boss was awesome but I got to the point where every time Mandy Patinkin would open his mouth I wanted to reach into the TV and throttle the ever loving shit out of him.
I’ll just see myself out then?
No, no. Room for all opinions, here. Care for a Scotch?
What’s funny is that was literally the only thing I remembered about that show. He was on one of those stair master things when he says it.
ETA: I also did not like Dead Like Me for what that’s worth.
What is this, dump on other people’s favorites day?
It started out OK, but they the Timemasters or whoever started screwing over Kevin McKidd as Dan Vasse. His job, his finances his relationship with his wife and his kid were all in jeopardy- without any sort of side benefit.
I agree with Dead Like me, Wonderfalls, and to an extent Pushing up Daisies.
Deadwood, Rome, The Night Stalker all were good.
Hornblower should have continued up to Captain Hornblower, the movie.
A Nero Wolfe Mystery could have gone on for at least another season. Here I blame A&E.
