We have discovered that some of our favorite “must watch” classics are not on the current drama world’s radar. So we decided that now is the perfect time for a throwback segment where we discuss some of our favorite shows and find out if they stood the test of time or need to be retired to our memories.

From historical match-making to doom at your door to irresponsible gumihos (what self-respecting nine-tailed fox would be so careless as to LOSE HIS BEAD?
