Gone, but not forgotten—these are obscure tv shows and series that I very much enjoyed and wished they had continued to run for as long as Grey's Anatomy!

Such an underrated Canadian show following the performers, writers, and directors of the fictional Burbage Shakespeare Festival. 3 seasons, and I wished for so many more. You don't have to be a performer or Shakespeare fan to enjoy the wit and humor!...

This. Was. So. Good. Tough but loveable FBI agent Will Chase has to team up with toughie CIA agent Frankie Trowbridge. The chemistry between the leads. The intrigue. The casting. Very “Mission Impossible”, “Red”, “the Rookie”, etc. show vibes.

This one had major “Now You See Me, Now You Don't” vibes and I was SO stunned by the cliffhanger. Couldn't believe it didn't get picked up again. A down-on-his-luck magician brings his skills of deception, influence and illusion…to the FBI. #ad

I'm a sucker for pretty much anything Alan Cumming is in, especially when Alan is playing a former CIA op who helps the NYPD as the work to stop a serial killer. #ad

This was visually STUNNING. So well done. WWI medical drama. I was so invested in the characters and their separate story lines. Couldn't believe it was only one season. #ad

It's sort of like a ‘Man Men’ meets medical drama. Jack Davenport leads this great BBC drama (set in a London hospital in 1961). The title “Breathless” can relate not only to the fact that he's a surgeon and all of his patients are “breathless” but a...

What can I say? I'm a Scott Foley fan, and I was so intrigued with this storyline of a reality dance show doing a modern remake of Swan Lake. I liked it! #ad

Such a cool premise…exploring the three parallel lives of Joe (James Wolk) after he makes a defining life choice. Sort of brings to life the “What If?” factor as we look back at how our lives turned out. He does such a great job showing the differenc...

Phoeber Waller-Bridge and Jonathan Bailey? Yep! Wish this had been more than 6 episodes. Random group of tenants rent an old hospital and chaos ensures.

More, more, MORE! I had a field day clocking all the Broadway royalty they brought in for cameos. Aaron Tveit, Alan Cumming, Kristin Chenoweth, Jane Krakowski, Ariana Debose, and so many more. The musical numbers are such clever nods to classic music...

Aaron Tveit (he's so young in this!) + Daniel Sunjata star in this three season crime drama: DEA, FBI, and U.S. Customs working together at a seized beachfront mansion. #ad
