A lot of shows mentioned can be seen on the subchannels like MeTV, Antenna, etc. Or they're streaming. Maybe the fact that so much emphasis is on the latter is why we're talking about things you don't see on TV anymore.
I saw a lot of British sitcoms mentioned. You used to get a lot of them from different decades on the PBS stations, usually on weekends. Now, their UK fare seems to be dramas and baking shows.
As far as a classic, iconic show that is barely seen now? Hollywood Squares. Especially the original and the John Davidson versions. (Bergeron hasn't been reran in awhile too, no?) Lost tapes and ownership issues have to do with this, mostly.
Only one you can see on a semi-regular basis is the Squares that was a half of the Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour. (which is odd because until 2019, you'd need off-air tapings of the show to see it at all. At least Marshall and Bergeron were on GSN for awhile in the interim...)

Does anyone under the age of 45 remember the Carol Burnett Show? Was watching something off Catchy Comedy channel,think it was Mama's Family,and ads for their nightly airings of Carol Burnett aired. And she had no clue what that show was. I'm right on the cusp of 40 and have never seen an episode of the Carol Burnett show. I've caught clips of it here and there, and just thought "people really found this funny?" I guess you just had to be there at the time.

L.A. Law had one of the most iconic deaths and now is barely talked about I've always wanted to try watching this show, but to my knowledge it's never been on a streaming service. I don't even think it's on ITunes to buy. I assume part of it is music clearance like other things. It's currently on Hulu & Amazon Prime.

I'm 44 now and for the longest time whenever I'd see anybody mention The Carol Burnett Show I genuinely thought they were referring to her short-lived anthology show Carol & Company from like 1990. Which, while a solid enough time killer, felt like such an underwhelming show to praise, and at the time I dismissed as a rip-off of The Tracey Ullman Show. But it was literally the only thing I knew Burnett from. It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I learned she had another, much more popular and long running show in the 70's.
