I like Lisa episodes, they have a ton of heart and also have great jokes in.
There are bad ones, but you can say that about any kind of Simpsons episodes.

Inuyasha had too much filler, and the song and dance with Naraku got old, but it was still a pretty special show, and I do not regret it being one of my early-ish fandoms.

Popeye and Son was very good.
Pound Puppies: The Legend of Big Paw was better than it had any real right to be.
The Further Adventures of Superted was just as good as the original.

On that note, I feel the same way about a number of Peggy Hill and early Brian Griffin episodes. The Proud Family doesn’t get enough credit, because it was funnier than much of Disney Channel’s live action output at that period. As much as I enjoyed Get Out, I don’t get why Peele or some others bristle at people describing it as a horror-comedy. Yeah it’s legit disturbing and it speaks some important truths, but people laughed hard both times I saw it theatrically. If that’s not the impression you want to put forward, why are you casting Lil Rel Howery in it?

I just finished watching The Irishman, and I really enjoyed it for the most part... but I don’t think it needed that much runtime even though I genuinely liked the slow burn aspect, and as good as Pacino’s Jimmy Hoffa was, I don’t think I liked it or the movie as much as Danny DeVito’s 1995 Hoffa movie with Jack Nicholson. That film is super good and underrated IMO.

Brian Cox is a more chilling Hannibal in Manhunter than Anthony Hopkins is in Silence of the Lambs. The latter is very operatic and memorable, but he doesn't at all project the ability to pull ofo fooling people as a psychiatrist prior to his capture. The former puts forth a much more convincing facade of normality while subtly hinting at his true nature just enough.
The last two seasons of the West Wing are better than people give it credit for. They explored various characters in some different ways, kept things fresh via focusing on campaigns, and took the likes of CJ and Donna in more interesting directions than Aaron Sorkin often seemed willing to. They completely dropped the ball with Toby, but that's probably the only really glaring flaw of the latter half of the show minus the rough nature of season 5.
The strongest actor on Mad Men was Vincent Kartheiser. While the cast did a consistently great job, he routinely pulled off playing the insecure man the in room and managed to give Pete nuance, even his his loathsome moments.
Butterfly Effect, while quite flawed with its dialogue and performances, is still pretty effective as a sci-fi drama in a lot of ways.
For all the praise Conan's Late Night show run of 95-2001 gets, its funniest period was 2003-2008 with the likes of Brian Stack and Brian McCann as prominent writers and performers.
Crossing over to video games somewhat, Roger Craig Smith is the best voice for Sonic. High pitched versions of the character (especially Martin Burke in OVA) don't contrast enough against the likes of Tails and feel too cartoony, while Ryan Drummond and Jason Griffith's struggle to feel natural.

The real issue is that the film has some pretty weighty material in its subject matter and doesn't always handle it that effectively, to the point where it almost feels like a black comedy at points (especially with certain lines of dialogue). Its a script that needed another draft or at least a polish that could better do justice its plot points in terms of tone.

Star Trek is better than Star Wars.

The scene when he ends up in prison goes so against the rules of time travel the movie set though
