Popular Post Goat Posted October 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2023 In my opinion watching fictional TV series is a complete and utter waste of time. I am surprised they are as popular with the masses as they are. I assume it is escapism from their boring mundaine lives? They do bring in huge money. Just actors acting fake dramas. Nonsense really. Give me a documentry and real knowledge. 7 10 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) I have lately been watching "Rookies" - I have never seen such a collection of gorgeous police women! Almost worth going and committing a crime in Los Angeles to get arrested! In past years, "Morse" and " Minder". Poles apart as mental challenges, but both great entertainment.

QuantumQuandry Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Everyone will probably name ones I like but if I have to go a little less known, I would say: 12 Monkeys. The TV show, not the movie! One of the few shows that got increasingly better with each season. I would skip season 1. RottenTomatoes ratings were Season 1/2/3/4: 60%/92%/100%/100%. First season was based on the mediocre movie but where they went after that was way more interesting. The Magicians. At first, I thought it was some Vampire Diaries tween show but it turned out way better than I thought. Glad I gave it a second chance. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Always loved dark humor but TV wasn't really ready for it until Sunny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 There really is so little that isn't a reboot or a tired rehash of worn out plot-lines that we have seen before now dressed up in different costumes and CGI. And as well, 'woke.' And I don't watch 'reality tv at all' With that said:Series that run more than one season Bosch (With author Michael Connelly as a producer, this show stays true to the book series) Foundation (although it isn't even remotely true to Asimov's Foundation series) Wheel of Time (Season 2 actually attempted to follow the plot-line of the books)Series that ran two or less seasons Utopia (British version) Escape at Dannemora Lonesome Dove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hate Wagon Train. No mention of Maverick in this topic so far. But the Maverick episodes that spoofed Gunsmoke and Bonanza are funny. "Three Queens Full" is the Bonanza spoof episode.

Give me a documentry and real knowledge. They are like alcohol intake, it's about how much entertainment occupies an individual's day. I'd say TV shows do less harm than propping up a bar stool all day. I'd add the actors make a lot more money than your curmudgeon opinion ever would.

moogradod Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 None for the last 50 years. Before that I remember the Avengers (John Steed and Emma Peel) and I had to look Bonanza every Sunday because my dad was a fan. But all in all I dislike TV Series. Well, Twilight Zone was not bad actually. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
