    OK, I stole this from my sworn enemy. And I know it's usually top 10, but I can't think of 10 shows where I loved the last couple nearly as much as I loved the first few.

    But I'm bored on New Year's Eve. getting old, and taking an ill-advised break from working on a massive project . . .

    Lost
    Twin Peaks
    Cheers
    Star Trek (the original)
    Gilmore Girls

    I'll split the difference as these were the first 7 to come to mind:

    Doctor Who
    The Wire
    Arrested Development
    Breaking Bad
    Party Down
    Friday Night Lights
    Sherlock

    There are individual seasons that I love a lot in other shows, but these are the ones where I love them (mostly) from start to finish.

    Nice to see Everybody Loves Raymond listed... I started watching it in syndication a couple months ago and it's amazing how good it still is. I don't know that I would call it underrated, because it had a really nice run, but I don't think it ever got the love it deserved.
