jaideeguy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Your favorite old and new TV series I’ll start this off with my favorite old [classic] TV series in no particular order…….. ‘Cheers’...............still funny after all these years ‘Seinfeld’................Jerry at his best ‘The Riches’ …………only 1 season, then canceled…….excellent comedy/drama ‘Jericho’……………...apocalyptic mini series ‘Lonesome Dove’ ……the first one ‘Breaking Bad’………but that is history now. Best ever drama on TV!! And New [or currently running] ‘Californication’……..new season coming ‘Ray Donovan’……….1st season just finished ‘Rectify’………………just one short season and hopefully will get renewed ‘Revolution’…………..watchable ‘Homeland’……………so far/so good, just got into the first season ‘Luther’……………….excellent English crime drama, but only 2 short seasons so far 'Curb your enthusiasm'........love that Larry 'Saturday night live'.......still great after nearly 40 years, but I miss the old crew. There’s more, but these are what comes to my mind first……….what are your favorites?? Edited October 13, 2013 by jaideeguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Robert Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 oh I am from the era of Bradey Bunch, Gilligans Island, F Troop, The Partridge family, The Three Stooges (still tickle me), Rawhide, Maverick, Disneyland when Annette was a star and when Fess Parker was Daniel Boone, the man and Fantasy land was touched by the magical tinkerbell (never got over how sexy a toon could be) Get Smart, Seahunt, The Bugs Bunny Show, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, The Monkees (hey hey for them)...I could name a thousand and still not cover the beautiful, funny, moral tales that gave me an optimistic and stable outlook on life.

FiftyTwo Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Rome was one of the best (mainly because of all the sex, nudity and violence). Strike Back has a certain attraction (mainly because of all the sex, nudity and violence). I thought I was seeing a pattern BUT rather oddly, Spartacus and Game of Thrones didn't do it for me (despite all the sex, nudity and violence) Edited October 13, 2013 by FiftyTwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Soutpeel ticked most of the oldies but I would add Aufviedesehn Pet to that list. Other oldie for me would be the original Star Trek series, and Bonanza. Edited October 13, 2013 by CharlieH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
