Your favorite old and new TV series

how I met your mother

Brilliant series, until they ran out of ideas and made an honest man out of....wait for it............Barney.

He just became one of us.

Kind of get tired of the self-pitying Ted Mosby character after some seasons.

Have a feeling they changed writers.

Have all seasons.

[Marcel1]

true it became somewhat boring after that but for sure the first three seasons were legendary

Hogans Heroes. ?

[kimbathewhitelion]

Just remembered.......David Carradine in Kung <deleted>, think most will remember him as "Grasshopper"

And its Thai related as thats where he ended up, dead in a Bangkok hotel, in the wardrobe actually !

Forgot about Kung <deleted>, but other than the term they used, technically it's called "Hopper" - half Asian/ half white however still slang. Within the timeline or generation, will also add The Green Hornet.

Sorry, no new ones... except THE ICE AGE. I'm too old...

Particularly hated SEX AND THE CITY and THE WALKING DEAD.

BTW, I think Brits used to do a better job than Americans (I'm neither, so not biased except for personal tastes). Anybody remembers Italians? They used to be good too.

In 1984 I took over the running of the ship's 'SRE' (Sound reproduction Equipment). VCRs were the new technology and were all the rage. Ships began fitting themselves out with Mass Distribution Video Systems to compliment the existing Radio system piped throughout the ship. Spelling the beginning of the end for the traditional 'Ships Nightly Movie' in the Cafe or on the Upperdeck.

We used to get VHS Tapes sent to us by mail from parents, wives, families from Oz.

By far. The most popular during our Middle East Deployment that year was 'Hill Street Blues'.

Due to an incident in one of Her Majesty's Australian Submarines in 1983 'Blue Movies' were banned on the shis system and no R Rated Movies were to be shown if there were crew members under the age of 18 years aboard. Which BTW was always the case.
