What tv shows did you get into years after they first aired?

Perry Mason. Started binge watching it 4 years ago when we retired. That would be 55 years after the last episode was filmed.

Yeah, I mean tons of shows were on the air when I was a kid that were from way-back. Shows like Gilligan's Island, Andy Griffith, etc. I watched a lot of that stuff.

One contemporary show that I came to a bit late was Law & Order, and it is much beloeved. I think I was too young to get in on the ground floor with it in 1989, but I did discover the joys of watching Lenny later on - Lenny rules!

Those old shows, the actors got no residuals. And even more modern shows, the residuals end after time. A friend was on Little House on The Prairie, it went on the air 50 years ago and off the air 42 years ago. The 50th anniversary of the show kicked off all kinds of personal appearance opportunities, and events that the actors use as a "stream of income" as he puts it.

Ted Lasso
New Girl
Love both of these immensely.

Just got to Veep season 3 and I finally see what all the hype was about. This show is REALLY funny but it's like they were playing it safe the first 2 seasons.
