I meant I missed it in my posting. I've seen it several times. His "Don't mention the war" would probably be axed first.

I didn't watch any TV series in the last 30 years or so... 

[Red Phoenix]

# Fargo (all 4 seasons are great, but the first season is absolutely epic)

# After Life (by and with Ricky Gervais - hilarious and at same time deeply human and touching)

# True Detective (with Woody Harrelson, say no more)

[FruitPudding]

I went with three comedies. In no particular order:

 

Curb your Enthusiasm 

Frasier

Still Game

 

Loved Game of Thrones til they messed up the last few seasons.

 

Friends and Breaking Bad, excellent too

I used to enjoy Blue Bloods, but got fed up waiting for the credits to end at the start of the show and just stopped watching it.

Seinfield

The Sopranos

Breaking Bad

 

Those were great. But to be honest that is when we last watched TV

[rwill]

Survivor, Gold Rush, Bering Sea Gold

[Joe Farang]

The Waltons

Little House on the Prairie

Beverly Hillbillies

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.

Expand  

I  think irrelevant posts are a complete waste of time

Did you all forget 'Man in a Suitcase'?

[Zenwind]

Zorro (1957) 

Firefly (2002) 

[thaibeachlovers]

Mine are all anime ( Violet Evergarden etc ), which would be of minimal interest to most farangs.

Far as western series go:

The ones that I just had to watch ( most of the ITV stuff- Morse, Frost, Poirot etc ) in no particular order.

Blake's 7

The Avengers, but only in black and white, went stupid in colour.

China Beach.

 

Many more, but the OP asked for 3.

That was a great series, along with many similar.

The Prisoner was interesting if somewhat barking. McGoohan was a great actor but never, IMO, sufficiently recognised as such.

I liked Firefly, but mainly for the cute girl.

How about Dr Who? Patrick Troughton was IMO the best Doctor, and his sidekick Wendy Padbury had to be the cutest companion.

The woke wouldn't like it up them, for sure. Great series. The American alternative, MASH started off well and very NOT PC, but eventually went woke, like most long running American sitcoms.

I never liked It aint half hot at the time, but later on more so. Never liked allo allo.

24 was an excellent series. I have all the DVDs, but doubt I'll get to rewatch them again.

LOST was excellent till the ending which was a monumental fail.

I loved St Elsewhere, and that series started many well known actors careers.

I bought my first VDO recorder at HUGE expense so I'd never miss an episode of Hill St Blues.

Mary Tyler Moore show- loved it, along with millions.

Space 1999.

Battlestar Galactica- NOT the original series.

Edge of Darkness- has to be the best series ever put out on British TV. I watched it on tv when it came out and again on DVD more recently- just got better, and not dated at all. Baker was excellent as the crazy American and Peck could not be bettered.

Then Gibson made a rubbish movie out of it.

Just scrolling here , it seems no one mentioned mine :

Prison break

The Sarah Conner chronicles 

Young Sheldon.
