What show do you think is brilliant that was, and maybe still is, profoundly misunderstood when it aired as lowbrow and stupid?

“Married with Children” is mine – I’m rewatching it and didn’t realize how smart and sensitive it really is.
- They dealt with homosexuality as if it was no big deal in the late 80s.
- It was directed for much of its run by a lesbian.
- When Katy Segal lost her baby, the writers treated her with the respect and dignity deserved by quietly ending her pregnancy storyline on the show as if the entire thing had been Al’s bad dream.
What do people think of MWC specifically, and what other shows to people see following this type of pattern (being demonized during its run but later people finding its social or intellectual merit)? And why?
