Every so often, Great News has a moment where people remember that it exists, and that's so wonderful. It's a show that was canceled far too soon and needs to be remembered — and streamed! Both seasons of the dreadfully underrated comedy are currently available to stream on Netflix. However, they're not likely to be available on the streamer forever, so run, don't walk, to watch! The series comes from Tina Fey and has the rapid joke-pacing and wild sense of humor to show for it. Seriously, it's the best time to either revisit or discover the news show workplace comedy!

  • Seasons: 2
  • Starring: Briga Heelan, Andrea Martin, Adam Campbell, Nicole Richie, Horatio Sanz, John Michael Higgins
