TV shows that hold up

Every few years since Cheers has been canceled, I usually start watching it again, usually during the summer when there is nothing else on.

This is the first time when I think I began to realize that the show does not hold up so well, almost 20 years after it finished. No harm in that, it's probably still my favorite network show of all time. Maybe it's because I've seen every episode so many times.

By comparison, and granted, it's only been off the air about five years now, but Frasier holds up remarkably well.

What other recent shows (80s and newer) do you think have held up pretty well in syndication?

I was thinking about this last night when I woke up and there was a Malcolm in the Middle marathon on Nickelodeon.

The first few seasons of that show are fantastic.

 

If this thread doesn't bring Mikey back nothing will.

Boy Meets World, Saved by the Bell, Home Improvement

 

West Wing ... I watch it on Bravo in the a.m. as I get ready for work. Especially the first 3-4 seasons ... amazing dialogue. Amazingly relevant, still.

 

Home Improvement is one that I started watching again only to be mortified by how unfunny it is.

I loved the show as a teenager, but watching it again, it's a bad show. It wouldn't last one season these days.

 

Take it back.

 

The Andy Griffith Show holds up well. Still wholesomely funny.

 

Always thought Spin City was kind of underated when it aired.

Still holds up pretty well for me, especially during the Michael J. Fox run. Charlie Sheen...not so much.

I concur with The West Wing. Love catching the repeats on Bravo

 

After all these years most episodes of MASH still hold up quite well

 

It's true. I loved that show when I was younger and now when I see it every once in a while, it pretty much sucks. Saved By the Bell might be even worse actually.

 

Home Improvement today seems only slightly better than "According to Jim"

 

Saved by the Bell, even as a teenager, was the guiltiest pleasure ever. It was awful, but in kind of a harmless, funny way. Keep in mind, for those of us who watched it when it was in first-run, it was a Saturday morning show. I think it came on after Snorks.
