- “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” (2005 – present) The slow-burning success of “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” has almost no precedent in TV history.
- “Silicon Valley” (2014 – present) He was an animation king thanks to “Beavis And Butt-Head” and “King Of The Hill,” but live-action success long eluded Mike Judge, with films like “Office Space” and “Idiocracy” failing to find audiences despite their obvious brilliance.
- “Everybody Hates Chris” (2005-2008) Chris Rock was hardly the first stand-up to put out a show drawing on his own experiences growing up, but the utterly charming “Everybody Hates Chris” wasn’t quite what anyone was expecting — owing more to “The Wonder Years” than to most family shows, it saw the young Chris (Tyler James Williams) growing up in Bed-Stuy, with an authentically working-class vibe that’s too hard to find on TV, then or now; a nicely nostalgic reconstruction of the 1980s; and a pleasingly functional, if often bickering, family (including a breakout turn by Terry Crews as his dad).
