I can never talk to my friends about my favorite TV shows without getting blank stares. Telling them my top-5 list of shows, the results are something like this:

Futurama ("Oh, Simpsons in Space" )
Home Movies ("Home what?" )
The Dead Zone ("I thought that was a book." )
Sports Night ("I didn't picture you as a sports fan." )
Monk ("Oh, right, I've heard that's good  :rolleyes:." )

This got me thinking. Putting Futurama aside for the moment, what are your favorite underrated TV shows?

Besides the ones you mentioned here are a few Canadian shows that break the trend and aren't crap:

Puppets Who Kill: It's about a halfway house for puppets who have commited murder. This is basically what Gerg The Bunny should have been. Sure it won a Gemini, but it still doesn't have much of a mainstream audience. Season 2 starts January 31 on the Comedy Network.    ;)

Made In Canada: Awesome show, good satire of the television industry, it's run has ended now but there are still reruns of it being aired and some DVD's released.

And in America:

Gary The Rat: Unlike the other two show's on Spike's animation block when it premired, this show was smart and whitty. Wasn't the best thing ever but it got alot of flack that was really directed towards the other two shows.
