Arrested Development. Whatever they had it was gone by the time season 4 was on netflix. Then everyone found out Jeffrey Tambor was a dick.

Bizarre.
Remember seeing a skit where a guy in a KKK outfit was at a slot machine, I won’t repeat what was he was trying to match up but they were all slurs.

Let me second the DS9 thoughts. Having seen What We Left Behind I can safely say Ira Steven Behr would beat audiences over the head with a ton of gay subplots now if the show was on the air because they didn't get to do it in the 90s all that much. But really, does it make any sense for Garak to have some big "coming out" episode? The guy is a man of mystery that keeps you guessing. The viewer should be left speculating some things about Garak.
Also, the nature of current TV would probably mean that DS9 would have a 13 episode type season. Admittedly 26 episodes was a lot (22 would have been ideal, get rid of the 3-4 clunkers per season). But DS9 has a lot of great one off episodes that don't exactly fit the overall story arc. It was in that odd 90s style of show where writers flirted more with serialized story arcs over seasons, kind of like X-Files did except DS9 did a much better job than X-Files of integrating long term storylines into one off episodes (X-Files was largely either Monster of the Week or the goofy main alien plot that I never cared for). This sort of storytelling didn't keep viewers engaged in the 90s and DS9 always died horribly in syndication since the show just didn't function that way. It is a show geared for the Netflix era of binge watching, so while DS9 couldn't quite exist today the way it did in the 90s it also couldn't gain popularity without modern streaming/binging.

Beavis and Butt-Head probably wouldn't work today, at least at the level and timeslot it was at. If it was a show now, it would come on at like 11:30 on Adult Swim.

I found the season 4 re-edit to actually be pretty good and a lot of season 4's failure could be tied to its format. If not the show at its peak, at least better than the dippy patch in season 3 and the 'Wee Britain' arc.
