HermosaBeachGuy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Ok, I know this thread existed a while back, but I can't find it. I'm pretty much caught up on my favorite american tv series, and I'm looking to watch something I've not seen. Can anyone tell me what they have loved in the past few years? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naboo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just found The Inbetweeners and somehow Peep Show hasn't been mentioned yet. And, of course, The Mighty Boosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaethon Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Classics: I recently downloaded all the Fawlty Towers: stand up well to the passage of time. And there's Only Fools and Horses for period drama. I'm currently watching Thame TV's World at War: every episode begins with the Thames TV logo and jingle and after thirty years all I can hear is "Here-They-Are-Now...More-cambe-And-Wise" to the jingle Rome (BBC/HBO) was a great series, and The Tudors was watchable. Being Human just started it's third series. At the same time the US 're-imagining' has just started series one. Interesting to see the (small) changes made for the US market. QI: a show that has never been mooted for US adaptation Just don't believe everything they tell you (remember Stephen Fry is a Mac user). Apart from University Challenge and an occasional Horizon I stick mostly to Radio 4 and Radio 7 on iPlayer. Radio 7 often has radio adaptations of classic TV like Dad's Army and Steptoe and Son and you can stream BBC radio here without needing a VPN/proxy.

Crossy Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 It's got to be the Clangers, without a doubt. SC :cheesy: Wonderful stuff Having watched them for years in B&W when they first appeared in colour they looked wrong. Unlike the Pugwash myth, the Clangers really was censored by the BBC http://www.freewebs.com/1969clangers/censored.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) 1) Life on Mars: I recently watched 'Life On Mars' (UK version) and found it quite excellent. I especially enjoyed the 70's throwbacks and some of 'Gene Hunts' one-liners... 2) Ashes to Ashes: Life On Mars only aired for 2 series but split off into 'Ashes to Ashes' based in 1981 (rather than 1973 in Life on Mars), again with excellent throwbacks this time to the 80's... It's a shame they did not continue Life on Mars beyond 2 series - I suspect it will reach 'cult status'... 3) Torchwood - Scifi - Interesting 4) Inbetweeners - too funny 5) Peep Sho 6) The League of Gentlemen 7) An Idiot Abroad 8) The IT Crowd 9) Spooks (MI5) Good New USA Series: 1) Board Walk 2) The Event 3) Hawaii Five-0 4) Flash forward (discontinued after season 1) 5) 24 Season 8 6) Criminal Minds Season 5 7) Nikita 8) Las Vegas Season 5+ Edited February 1, 2011 by richard_smith237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDrinker Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Really captured the zeitgeist of the mod to late 1970s. Just why they had to re-make it so badly I can not fathom out. Doctor Who (the first 5 incarnations) All Creatures Great and Small. Just lovely TV.

I did`t get where I am today without watching `The rise and fall of Reggie Perrin ` ! but today , its either ` League of Gentlemen , Black Adder` or `Inbetweeners`.
