Some of the examples in the Wikipedia page don’t make sense to me.
Macgyver
Also, Stargate.
I mean compared to Stargate Atlantis, yea. Atlantis is like lets watch all these incompetent people scramble around and screw up. McKay has to run around fixing stuff everyone else messed up but also messes stuff up himself as well.
Bob Ross’ Joy of Painting should definitely be in there
“Columbo”
My Cousin Vinnie.
Marisa Tomei is indeed extremely competent at being hot.
I recently watched Dept. Q and was struck by how well all of the characters did their jobs.
The French Department Q films are really good too.
Alone
This is going to be a bit random, but it’s what came to mind: from the show Dead Like Me, the character Rube. Just him, not the whole show. I always loved him for it.
Sherlock Person of Interest For all Mankind
Sherlock is good until the writers tried to subvert expectations to the point of ruining the show in the last season. It kind of ruins the earlier seasons as well though because none of it amounts to anything. If you can ignore all that and take the episodes individually it might still be enjoyable.
For all mankind is like that in the earlier seasons. The incompetence demonstrated in the last seasons is a major letdown.
The Bureau - (Bureau of Legends) amazing French spy tv show. They make some mistakes but most of the show is them working and being pretty competent.
Veep
edit I could not resist the chaos answer
Wouldn’t that be the opposite?
The West Wing
Yeah who exactly is competent on that show?
Burn Notice was great for most of its run
Restaurant Impossible?
