                I have to just binge it. Each episode I've seen has been good or great except the pilot which was weak sauce and caused me to miss the entire run of the show.

                That show ought to be right in the main vein.

                      Season 4 of Futurama is one of the finest seasons of television to ever be released. Jurassic Bark, Love and Rocket, The Sting, The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings. All peak television.

                      But make sure you take the time to have the characters grow and develop. It's hard to connect to them and get the full impact of seasons 3 and 4 of you watch the whole thing in a weekend*.

                      *A friend and I used to host a party called Futuramarama where we would have dozens of people over and we would watch every episode back-to-back. People would come and go when they wanted. But we would start on Friday at 7 pm and finish Sunday morning. One year we decided to try and drink 100 cups of coffee during the weekend. It's hard. To be young.

                        West Wing belongs on the list, btw. Best show on television for each of its first four seasons.

                          I think it lost its soul when Phil Hartman was killed. It never really recovered. There were a few very good episodes, but I'm not sure I could recall a single episode post Phil.

                            Brotherhood was a good 3 season series, unfortunately cancelled, but fortunately had a clean ending. I'd give it a B overall.

                            Finished ep 4 of Man Hunter. Yeah, digging the show. Not ZOMGBBQ but so worth a watch. The actress who plays Tabby is great. Leah Remini-like.
                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              Season 4 also has The Why of Fry, The Farnsworth Parabox, and Leela's Homeworld. You are correct in that it's probably one of the best seasons in TV.
