I usually watch more older movies than TV shows, but a couple that stand out to me are

Star Trek TNG is great sci-fi but skip season 1 or at least the first few episodes, Deep Space Nine is a close second for me for top trek but also a slow start establishing the characters and setting. The original series definitely looks dated but the dialogue and music are still really enjoyable.

There's not many shows with a laugh track I can handle but I've always had a soft spot for Night Court & the reboot

Twin peaks is fantastic if you enjoy some dreamlike melodrama with commentary on contemporary media

And if you've watched some low budget '80s era TV you might enjoy Garth Marenghi's Darkplace which satirized a lot of the tropes and bigotry of the time.

Twin Peaks has aged really well. I was disappointed in Garth Marenghi’s recent follow up novel though.
