10 TV Masterpieces Worth Rediscovering

Good television can be forgotten for many reasons: limited accessibility, titles that haven’t reached streaming, or simply being lost in a vast sea of content. Vintage series sometimes collect dust on studio hard drives or slip from memory, yet several deserve a second look now that some are available to stream or on DVD.

Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse (2009–2010) offers a clever sci‑fi premise about “actives” whose personalities are erased and rewritten, anchored by Eliza Dushku as Echo and a solid dynamic with Harry Lennix’s Boyd Langton. In Living Color (1990–1994) was a bursting sketch show that launched stars like Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez, and the Wayans family, while Timeless (2016–2018) follows a trio traveling to different eras to stop a man rewriting American history.

Touched by an Angel (1994–2003) brought faith‑based drama to millions with Roma Downey’s Monica, Della Reese’s Tess, and guest turns from actors and singers of the day.
