Television:
1959 The Twilight Zone (the hour-long season is lousy though)

1966 Star Trek (minus the third season)
1969 Monty Python's Flying Circus

1974 Kolchak: The Night Stalker (monster-of-the-week precursor to the X-Files; the previous television movies are good too though I prefer the second)
1974 The Rockford Files (fun miserable 70s private investigating with a great theme song; never bothered to watch the revival tv movies so no comment about those)
1975 Fawlty Towers

1983 The Hitchhiker (softcore sex and violence/horror anthology series; called Deadly Nightmares in the UK for some reason. Moved from HBO to USA for the last two seasons which meant no more nudity and blood, but the stories were still entertaining)
1983 Tales from the Darkside

1986 Pee-wee's Playhouse (great first season, all right middle, but a not-so-good last season that had clearly run out budget and ideas)
1986 The Real Ghostbusters (the first ABC season and the syndicated episodes only before they mucked it up with terrible changes)
1986 Sledge Hammer (parody of all those doesn't-play-the-rules lone-wolf cop heroes)
1987 Mathnet (Kate Monday>Pat Tuesday)
1987 Max Headroom (the lead character is a sexually-harassing insufferably smug activist-posing-as-a-journalist, but Max and this world are great)
1988 Freddy's Nightmares (proto-Tales from the Cyrpt with Freddy instead of the Cryptkeeper; the first season isn't bad, but it improved quite a bit in the second)
1988 Monsters (successor to Tales from the Darkside, their experience and narrower focus making it more consistent)
1988 Mystery Science Theater 3000
1988 Superboy (has a really rough low-budget start, but it improves a bit after the first few episodes then continues to improve with each successive season even though they replaced the lead with a better-looking-but-inferior actor after the first, and the last has far too many budget-saving clip shows, even going as far to air two in a row. The executive producer was a stereotypical miserly Jew)
1988 War of the Worlds (first season only once they figured out the tone they wanted after the awkward pilot movie and first episode. The second season replaced the showrunner and he made it utter nonsensical garbage)
1989 Seinfeld (the post-David seasons get really cartoony but it's still good)
1989 The Simpsons (only through season 8)
1989 Tales from the Crypt

1990 Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (first season only; they replaced the showrunner and it stopped being funny and more concerned with selling toys and failing at being dramatic)
1990 Twin Peaks
1991 Liquid Television (edgy animated shorts sometimes combined with live-action; didn't like the revival because everyone now uses lazy stiff computer animation. They really don't make 'em like this anymore)
1991 Aeon Flux
1992 Batman: The Animated Series (including The Adventures of Batman and Robin and The New Batman Adventures here for convenience)
1993 Star Trek Deep Space Nine (the only other Trek show I really liked, barring the last two seasons of Enterprise minus the series finale)
1994 The Critic
1994 Gargoyles (first two seasons before they replaced the showrunner; fortunately he got to replace the last terrible season with comics)
1994 Phantom 2040 (kinda falls apart with the retcons in the second season though)
1995 Earthworm Jim
1995 The Maxx (they didn't adapt the entire comic so it lacks a true ending, but what's there is still good)
1995 Pinky and the Brain
1996 Superman: The Animated Series
1997 Extreme Ghostbusters (better-written and more consistent than The Real Ghostbusters and also benefits from not having such a limited music library)
1997 The Hunger (another softcore sex and violence/horror anthology series made by Brits but filmed in Canada. Second season has David Bowie as the host who even gets an origin episode)
1997 The Legend of Calamity Jane (French historical fiction that was deemed too edgy for American kids so it was pulled off the air in the US after only 3 of its 13 episodes. 90s liberal so there's quite a bit of "natives good, white men bad" but also Jane gets beaten and [implied] raped in the last episode since it was permissible to depict that kind of thing at the time)
1997 Spawn (more for the last two seasons)
1999 Batman Beyond
1999 Courage the Cowardly Dog
1999 Home Movies (got too edgy for its own good in its final season, but the finale was good)

2000 Curb Your Enthusiasm
2001 The Inspector Lynley Mysteries
2001 Invader Zim
2001 Justice League (more for the second season and Unlimited)
2002 Fillmore! (70s cop show in the context of a school)
2002 The Wire
2003 Arrested Development (didn't watch the revival so no comment; heard it wasn't as good though)
2005 The Boondocks (really just the first two seasons; McGruder seemed to be struggling for ideas in the third and then they replaced him and it became awful, as usual)
2006 Masters of Horror: Imprint (just this episode; so graphic and disturbing that a premium cable channel refused to air it. Has the distinction of being the only work of fiction to give me bad dreams in my adulthood)
2008 Spectacular Spider-Man
2009 Community (didn't watch the final internet-only season so no comment)

2014 Fargo (through season three, four is flawed)
2014 Gotham (terrible start, but they dropped a good deal of what was wrong midway through the first season and got the grand guignol tone nigh-perfect in season two with a few missteps here and there afterwards)
2017 Legion
2017 Twin Peaks: The Return (different genre and tone but still great, excepting two frustrating and self-indulgent episodes)

1973 Cutey Honey (TV) (final few episodes are dull and disappointing)
