Very strange show. I also liked it and wish it didn't end do soon.

Zombie mom. Comedy/black comedy. Husband played by Timothy Olyphant was hysterical.

Pretty much what Sem said and what's seen in the trailer.
Very dark humor. Wife becomes "undead" and she and husband search for a cure while trying to keep things quiet and still satisfy her appetite. They wind up in some crazy situations every episode but manage to get themselves out of it.
The cast is great. Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore are hilarious along with the neighbor kid.

Spoiler...it ends abruptly. Apparently Netflix canceled it without really thinking things thru.
But still worth watching for laughs. I'm actually surprised another network didn't pick it up.

god job ed i love the hillbillies should be on my list. always admired how they kept that fresh for nine years. lots of belly laughs.

A few things I notice on this thread:

1 - Rich started this thread, but he hasn't added his list...

2 - No one (except moi), had "Lost" or "Blacklist" on their list, two of my favorite series of all time, although I admit, "Lost" was lost after the 5th season, but prior to that, show was phenomenal

3 - I should have added "Beverly Hillbillies", "Gilligan's Island", "The Bob Newhart Show", and "All in the Family" to my list. Getting old sucks and I forget the things that used to make me happy and excited for the show to come on. I especially can't believe I didn't have "Ozark" on my list   

4 - Must be no one loves Lucy...LOL (I didn't either, too over the top)

Good catch on Ozark, it should be on my list,

Can we name 21 shows       

Myself, I was never a real fan of the Beverly Hillbillies. I found it funny, but just too silly to take seriously, same with Gilligan's Island, funny, but after a while, it just wasn't that funny anymore.  Lucy, though she was an amazing talent, she never really made me want to watch her, anytime. I would have rather watched Carol Burnett and I'm surprised no one included that show. Tim Conway made that show, as we might say, must-watch TV.

Anyone remember the old Topper show, with Leo G Carroll? Also funny in its time, great special effects for its time but today it really wouldn't hold up.

Another show that should have been on my list, along with The Twilight Zone was Alfred Hitchcock's Presents. I NEVER missed that show and good old Alfred was the star of every show even though he was there for maybe a couple of minutes.

I forgot House of Cards. Looks like I needed a list of 30.

Lenn: No one except you is OLD enough to remember Topper.... except for me... and if they ARE old enough and don't live in either NY or Northeast PA they never got to see WPIX. Same for "My Little Margie" starring Gail Storm (by the way, that's one of IMO the greatest stage names of all time.... Gail(gale) = Storm, get it? lol

Quote from: Ed Vette on December 10, 2023, 08:38:32 PMI forgot House of Cards. Looks like I needed a list of 30.

Ed: Me too.

House of Cards was pretty excellent (IMO at least). Very well executed series.

It's very difficult for me to put together a list.   There were many shows I loved at the time, but they don't hold up to my aging over the decades.  There are also shows that had a few good seasons but dropped off over time and lost what made them special (sometimes, this happened in only a season).  Sometimes a series wasn't that great, but there were individual episodes or skits that were truly brilliant.  Some great shows were canceled after only a season or two.

I really struggle to just list 20 because of all those factors.

Definitely enjoyed reading everyone's lists. Like Rich, I also had a hard time coming up with just 20 and actually forgot about some that I was reminded of by others. But, here's some of mine and I apologize to those shows I didn't include
