The Young Pope. It is new and different. It is edgy and definitely not like other stuff these days. (The young pope, not the new pope which is the second season.) It was made in europe and couldnt be made in north america, not today.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. It only existed because of a special relationship with the late show. Without worry about ratings, he did some great stuff that wouldnt get past the moneymen today.

The older seasons of Top Gear. It was wildly popular but got its energy from an old form of "blolky" male-dominated humor that just doesnt fly these days. The Grand Tour continues but is a pale comparision of the previous energy.

Note that all of these are dominated by male protagonists, a rare thing in recent years.

Man did he flirt with the beautiful actresses he had on the show.

What makes is more, or probably less, creepy is that he was friends with many of their parents. Hollywood is full of family structures.
