Miami Vice gets an honorable mention, but I was only ever allowed to watch the intro because I was like 7.
Then I turned 12 and Baywatch came on. Pretty embarrassed, but loved anything where a car, helicopter, or plane was the real main character.
Baywatch was so bad, I couldn’t even watch it for the slo-mo girls running down the beach.
Now the movie - that was a riot.

Major Props for The Rockford Files such a great show and really a major influence on so many other great shows.
Currently watching Poirot (the series) for the first time. Hard to believe it started in the 80’s - the film quality is so high, it looks great even on a large TV today.
And the production values overall are amazing. The cars, the clothes, the buildings, etc - they really captured the 1930’s. I really appreciate the clear, well-balanced colors, too, none of today’s high-contrast, over-saturated crap.
Futurama
The Simpsons
Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Akagi: The Genius who Descended Into Darkness
Bocchi the Rock!
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
