18. Found. It was a well-written, awesome acting and not a cookie cutter show!

I was actually angry when it was cancelled. Others would be, Better off Ted (which was a scream), Happy Endings (kooky and fun, rewatching it now), and The B---- in Apartment 23 (just rewatched it), My Name is Earl (needed a proper ending!!). The Residence should have been renewed (a fun show). They could have made it into a type of "Knives Out" type of series. The Real O'Neals. Guess there was too much gay in it. The reincarnation of Quantum Leap. Many probably won't know this one, but I think it is still on one of the platforms, but "Smiley" which is a Spanish series. It is really fun! Very gay!
