One great thing about YouTube is that it has a lot of full runs of short lived shows and I found that it had Nightmare Cafe which only lasted like 6 episodes and debuted in 92. Kind of an anthology series where two deceased people in a diner helped recently departed souls. Loved it as an 11 year old and added it to my list to rewatch. I also liked the concept of Terra Nova (future humans moving back to the Jurassic Era due to pollution) but I think it could be better told in a book form. No Ordinary Family was another along with M.A.N.T.I.S and The Police Academy tv series (yes I’m an unashamed fan of those movies). I guess I’ll throw in the 02 Twilight Zone. Was better than the garbage that Peele did.

Honestly, Firefly continuing might have saved us all from the "timeless, unquestionable classic" status it achieved, which would have done wonders from letting Whedon destroy American culture and media through emulation and actual products he made.
Like, give it one more season and it goes to shit, like so many examples you could list, and suddenly "quippy" dialogue isn't the cool thing that gets shoved into every form of media just a few years later and the entire 2010s of American production could be far greater as a whole.
