Your favourite television shows...

I was reading 1oldguy’s Kojak post in “What is your latest acquisition” and it brought back many fond memories of the television shows that I enjoyed watching many years ago. What television shows did you enjoy watching.

Be well...

I always enjoyed watching Darren McGavin as the Night Stalker

Barney Miller gets my vote for the fun side of the law.
It just so happens to have the funkiest bass song in a T.V show.
I don't watch much new anything on T.V anymore,it's just hogwash to this oldguy.

I could not agree more about TV these days. The Laundrew household is coming up to almost a year and a half with no cable or satellite subscriptions.

No regrets.

Welcome to the club.
It appears your as disgruntled as me.

I never thought I would see the day that T.V would be something I no longer enjoy.(In it's current format.)
It's not so much the device since a T.V is a T.V., as there is no substance to what's on currently.
I prefer to indulge in the Classics.

I've gone through stretches (years) with no TV service. The one I started last week is, I feel, permanent. I've got a set of rabbit ears, so we can catch the news. There is not enough quality to justify a monthly fee, or the time commitment.

To get back on the beam...

Battlestar Gallactica

I DO hope you are talking about the original series, not this horrible female starbuck version (even if she is quite pleasing to the eye)...

Current : The Daily Show / Colbert Report and Top Gear ( UK ).
All- Time : Probably Deadwood and The Wire.

Well actually both.

The original series I grew up on and loved - I have the box set with the cylon shaped case - it's on DVD (never released on Blu-ray - that I know of).

The new series I found very interesting - it's deeper than the old series and makes staments on a number of social issues. I have it on Blu-ray and it looks pretty great. I loved the special effects. I was a little let down by the finale - think they could have done a little more.

I think that Star Trek, the original series of course, also made many statements on numerous social issues of its decade.

That is good but it doesn't beat NEVER*.

*Except for the four years it was included in my apartment rent.

I guess you could say "I never pay for it."

HBO has been repeating Deadwood each night at 11 pm on one of their digital channels. They're up to Mr. Walcott killing the 3 whores. I wept when they cancelled it. Only other show I felt that way about when cancelled was Arrested Development.

HBO never shows The Wire. Did they sell the rights to BET maybe? Hate watching HBO shows on edited channels.

Too cheap to buy the DVDs, so please no lectures there.
