Some TV shows come out, everyone goes crazy over them, and a year after the final season is done, they're forgotten about. Worse, people remember them, but the humor or plot doesn't age that well, making them a cringe-worthy watch. There are some shows, however, that people will still go back to time and time again; people on an internet forum recently discussed some of their favorites.

1. The Golden Girls (1985-1992)

This Comedy, starring Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty, was a big hit for many different age groups. It involved four older women sharing a home in Miami, navigating life's ups and downs with humor and enduring friendship. While times have changed, somehow, the humor in The Golden Girls doesn't get old.

2. The Monkees (1966-1968) 

This zany comedy was about a fictional rock band's comical adventures, blending music and humor. They were modeled on The Beatles and ended up becoming an actual touring band based on the fame of the show. The Cast Included Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork. With only one surviving member today, you'll still find them on tour, and people still get a kick out of watching the TV show.

3. Here's Lucy (1968-1974) 

Lucille Ball stars as Lucy Carter, a woman finding herself in comedic situations, often with her children involved. Regarded as one of the first women in comedy, Lucille Ball's humor still charms new generations and old alike. 

4. The Munsters (1964-1966) 

There was just something fun about a bunch of monsters trying to fit in with normal society.  This comedy led to hilarious misunderstandings and supernatural slapstick. In all honesty, it made the characters more human than some people. The cast included Fred Gwynne, Yvonne De Carlo, Al Lewis, and Butch Patrick.

5. Bewitched (1964-1972) 

The '60s was the right time for supernatural comedy. While many feminists were later appalled by some of the themes in Bewitched, there was still something delightful in watching a witch who marries a mortal and attempts to balance her magical powers with everyday life.  Bewitched, starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Agnes Moorehead, it's still a cult classic with fans to this day.

6. M.A.S.H (1972-1983) 

Set during the Korean War, this dramedy followed the staff of a mobile army surgical hospital, blending humor and poignant moments amid the chaos of war. This is a show that still has people talking about it even now. The cast included Alan Alda, Loretta Swit, Jamie Farr, and  Mike Farrell.

7. Wings (1990-1997) 

I guess the 90s was thirty years ago, so classifies it as vintage. This sitcom revolved around the quirky staff of a small airport, showcasing their amusing interactions and dreams while navigating life's turbulence — get it? The cast included Tim Daly, Steven Weber, Crystal Bernard, and Tony Shalhoub.

8. The Jetsons (1962-1963) 

This is one of those shows that kids in both the 60s and 80s flocked to watch around the TV on a Saturday morning. The animated series portrays a futuristic family's adventures in a world of advanced technology, providing a whimsical peek into the world of tomorrow. Interestingly, so of the tech used in it has since become a reality in our daily lives. 

9. Murder, She Wrote (1984-1996) 

With her keen intellect and deductive skills, mystery writer Jessica Fletcher solved real-life murders in her community, weaving together engaging mysteries. Angela Lansbury, who played Ms. Fletcher, was not your typical heroine of the day, but this is one of those shows you can watch on repeat, even when you already know the answer to the mystery. 

10. I Dream of Jeannie (1965-1970) 

I admit, I loved this show. I had aspirations of also being a genie in a bottle. I even named my pet dog Gin Gin after Jeannie's own magical dog. In this show, an astronaut stumbles upon a magical bottle and releases a vivacious genie, leading to comedic chaos as her “Master” attempts to hide Jeannie's enthusiasm to please him from the world. It starred Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman, and Bill Daily.

11. The Nanny (1993-1999) 

Nobody can forget Fran Drescher's laugh from this show. It was a modern-day Mary Poppins-type scenario — a woman becomes a nanny for a wealthy family, injecting her unique, humorous personality into their lives and forming heartfelt connections. 

12. Twin Peaks (1990-1991) 

This surreal mystery series delves into the secrets behind a murder in a small town, blending the mundane and supernatural, provoking thought and intrigue. The main cast included Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Ontkean, Sheryl Lee, and Sherilyn Fenn. This show still comes up as a topic in many conversations.

13. The Brady Bunch (1969-1974) 

The Brady Bunch was all about a modern blended family in the early seventies. Many firsts in television can be attributed to the show and it had a cult following, especially with teen girls. It was popular enough that a movie was made in the 90s, and people still related to it. The cast included Robert Reed, Florence Henderson, Maureen McCormick, and Barry Williams.

14. Absolutely Fabulous (1992-2012) 

Comedians Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley starred in this British sitcom that follows two fashion and wine-obsessed women navigating their glamorous yet chaotic lives and dealing with a child who had none of their ambitions. 

15. Columbo (1971 – 1978) 

You wouldn't think watching a guy in a rumpled coat solve mysteries would be the highlight of everyone's week, but it was. Peter Falk played the brilliant but unassuming detective, Columbo. He solved complex crimes through shrewd observations and unconventional methods, leaving audiences engaged in his cat-and-mouse investigations. People are addicted to the reruns of this show. 

16. Cheers! (1982-1993) 

This is a show that still has a large fan base. Set in a bar, the series captured the camaraderie and comedic moments of regulars and staff, offering a heartwarming glimpse into their lives. It starred Ted Danson, Shelley Long, Rhea Perlman, and Kelsey Grammer.

17. Frasier (1993-2004) 

Reprising his role from Cheers! this spin-off took on a life all of its own. It also led to Frasier being one of the longest-running characters on TV – a role that the actor has brought back with an all-new revival in 2023. The show worked because of its unusual dynamics between different lifestyles and family members.  Cast members included Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, and John Mahoney.

18. The Andy Griffith Show (1960-1968)

Sheriff Andy Taylor, played by comedian Andy Griffith, delighted audiences each week in the comedy set in the small town of Mayberry. Despite the age of this show, people say it still makes them laugh out loud.

19. Mork and Mindy (1978-1982)

Every 80s child remembers being fascinated by this story of an alien adjusting to life on Earth. It also introduced us to the absolute comedy genius that was Robin Williams, who played the main character. It doesn't matter how old the show is, Robin Williams is watchable during any era, which makes this show and easy hit with all generations. 

20. The Addams Family (1964-1966)

Much like The Munsters, this macabre family somehow managed to capture the hearts of anyone who watches it.  While the dark and gothic themes may seem morbid, Gomez and Morticia's enduring romance and their strong family connections make people come back to watching this show all over again. It's also had its fair share of movie adaptations, including the recent Netflix show Wednesday.

21. Roseanne (1988-1997)

All working-class families loved tuning into Roseanne during the late 80s and 90s. There was something completely real and down-to-earth about the show that appealed to people in a way that many other sitcoms failed to do. It's still such a loved classic that when Roseanne Barr was fired from the recent show revival, the comedy formula was still able to hold together. It also starred  John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, and Laurie Metcalf.

22. The Twilight Zone (1959-1964, 1985-1989, 2002-2003)

Everybody knows the eerie theme tune to this show. In fact, if something spooky happens, chances are, someone will hum it. Then anthology series delved into the mysterious and supernatural, often with thought-provoking twist endings that captivated viewers across various periods. The fact that it has had a movie and several revivals speaks volumes about its enduring appeal.

23. Laverne and Shirley (1976-1983)

Two friends, played by Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, navigate life and work in a 1950s Milwaukee brewery. This show was one of the first successful spinoffs in history.  The characters first appeared on Happy Days, and this show came about only two years after that show appeared on TV. While the themes feel very dated, audiences still love the series.  

24. Macgyver (1985-1992)

Richard Dean Anderson managed to combine a number of strange objects in order to escape tight situations, fascinating audiences with his clever thinking. The show became such a hit, and Macgyver's odd solutions became so renowned that the character's name is now in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as a verb — to Macgyver means to “to make, form, or repair (something) with what is conveniently on hand.”
