From comedy classics to masterpieces of modern drama, these are the shows you need to know.

I Love Lucy (1951-1960)

"Sure, some of the themes may be outdated, but if you go in with an open mind you will be rolling on the floor laughing! Lucille Ball is the best!" — paytonh4921432c6

Arrested Development (2003-2006; 2013)

One of the quickest and smartest comedies out there, Arrested Development made its mark in the '00s as perhaps the most unique comedy that was airing at the time. Both in words and in visuals, the gags on this show came a mile a minute — and it's hilarity is impossible to deny.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)

As a hallmark of television fandom culture, Buffy is one of the most important shows in recent decades. Plus, Buffy herself is totally badass.
