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’……….1^st 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??

Old:

Northern Exposure

MASH

Miami Vice

Magnum PI

New:

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown

Black List

Vegas (but cancelled)

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.

Taking liberties with the definition of old and new

Old

Black Adder

Vikings

Spartacus

True blood (first couple of series)

Sherlock

Living dead

Rome

and come to think of it no real very good comedy series these days to list

Spooks

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)

Game of thrones is great the borgias is another one too many to list

Sent from my GT-I9500 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

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.

That's the thing, we have too much quality stuff especially from days gone by. Jeremy Brett was excellent, my favourite SH was Basil Rathbone, but to be honest I really like Benedict Cumberbatch's character.
