What is an old show you think is great and really doesn't get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?

United States of Tara (showtime, hulu)

A wacky dramedy about a suburban mom and her family dealing with her DID (aka multiple personality disorder). I actually don't remember the series storyline well enough to recall the ending but I remember it not making me rage or feeling there was a steep decline in quality. I rewatched some of it recently and all of it held up well. There are hijinks from her multiple characters but also real hurt and damage caused from it too.

It also had a scene I'll never forget involving a balloon and Brie Larson.
