Poker Face, Barry, The Mick, Barney Miller, CYE, Fernwood Tonight, Community, Brooklyn 99, Whiskey Cavalier, Rubicon, Reacher, So Help Me Todd, Night Agent, Watson, Limitless, Nowhere Man, Journey Man, Second Chance, Lone Gunmen, Condor, Stumble.. would be honorable mention among others for me. Too many to mention.

Zero Hour if I had to pick one would be my thinking out of the box choice..
