Popular Post Jonnapat Posted October 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2021 Not a scandi or nordic noir amongst them as far as i can see. You won't see much better than Bron Broen and Forbrydelsen for suspense and acting. And there are many more of the same ilk superior to the US and UK. In my opinion! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of Thrones 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5: M*A*S*H Why? To me very clever comedy lines, very often with strong/important/valuable sociological undertones. I don't watch it for the military aspects, in fact it has very little relationship/connection to anything military and not during a war. I served a full posting time + in Sth Vietnam, the daily activities, events, contacts were nothing like what's portrayed in M*A*S*H, and we certainly didn't have characters like Klinger. Here in Sydney we have forever reruns, currently 2 programs every mid/late afternoon M to F and 2 on Sundays.

Alda was a solid writer but the gags became too set up especially in later seasons. Became a parody of itself. Funny, even that rather vanilla comedy would be condemned in the US today.

Chad3000 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think the office looks really funny buth US and UK but I've never found the time to watch it. My TV viewing is stunted. Pretty much left US in early 90s. Never had cable so only watched PBS in 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Ricky Gervais and his unique humour and acting skills its lost. Available on YouTube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postmaster Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Those selections really interesting. Breaking Bad I thought I'd watched until the end but after the DEA guy got shot and the families feuded it seemed to end weird. Did I miss some episodes?

You really need to watch it until the very end - the final few episodes are particularly excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10012001 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 That's a tough one. As I got older, different things had different impacts. 1: The Prisoner 2: Lost in Space. The original from the 60s when I was a kid. 3: Cheers (I'm a New England Native) 4: Nova 5: Ramsey's Kitchen Notable mention: UFO, the Gerry Anderson show. Eerie ending with the planet Earth showing us so isolated in the universe.

Gosh my Dad was still spending time at home in those days and the family would watch the same TV shows on the one TV we had, and of course only 3 major TV networks, give or take a few UHF channels sneaking in from the Boston area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a public servant and Star Trek just seemed like public servant's in space. Structured government workers. No freedom. Next Generation wasn't bad. Some of the monsters look a bit crappy and the stories can be a bit slow, and silly in the second series, but the the feel of the show and the spaceship and the journey through space and the sound of the engines, and the soundtrack from Johnny Williams and others, is excellent. Series 3 theme music is the best. Better than the Star Wars theme, that he went on to do, in my opinion. It was popular in Australia. Johnathon Harris did an Australian tour to full houses with the robot in the early 90's. Youtube has it and it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
