I got hooked with X Files, Alias, and Star Trek. Which TV series made you gain more weight by staying on the couch all day? :scratch2: http://www.bargainscreeners.com/blog/spr.gif

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. despite its teenybopper reputation it's a very deep and detailed opus, superbly done in all respects.

Lost. So many questions (is Locke really dead? who are the guys on the beach? what the flock is the 'monster'?)

If I had to pick one, it would be Top Gear. Also, Masterpiece Theatre from the U.K. I can not think of a fairly current U.S. series I am hooked on, the last being M.A.S.H.

As a kid in the 50s, Mickey Mouse Club and the Disney shows; Garfield Goose and Elmer Elephant (local Chicago shows), the Lone Ranger, the Cisco Kid,
and somewhat out of order: Alfred Hitchcock; the original Mission Impossible, Twilight Zone, Outer limits, Science Fiction Theater, the Muppet show, and some regular watchers, but not so addictied: Bonanza (but not so often because we didn't have color), Gunsmoke, Dean Martin, 77 Sunset Strip, Mr. Lucky, I Dream of Jeanie, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, the Ed Sullivan Show, Perry Mason, a number of others my dad was addicted to though I was not, e.g Route 66, Knight Rider. By the way, I bought a set of Dean Martin Variety Show DVDs (not the roasts), and they are still super. His casual way of paying attention to his guests and not upstaging for the camera still comes across as "real people." Later (70s and 80s and onward), I don't know if I was really addicted to any shows, but I do remember Angie Dickinson in Police Woman (rrrrowr).

1. Star Trek 1.0 I'm old enough to have seen it in real time, the first time.

2. Hill Street Blues - rang true to me, first program that humanized cops to me.

3. Night Gallery - Thank god for DVDs.

4. Star Trek Deep Space Nine - The emmissary, the prophets, the Dominion War!!!! Founders, Vulcans and Klingons oh my!

5. The Wire - To true for words.

6. Six Feet Under - Never look at death the same way again.

7. The Outer Limits - Thank god for DVD.

That's all off the top of my head.

Seinfeld. We've seen every episode close to a dozen times and still laugh our azzes off.
Frasier. Never missed an episode...loved the erudite humor.
ER. REALLY miss that one. Saw 'em all.
I concur on "Deadwood". What a great show...gone too soon. There was much more to be told there.

And yes I really do like it!

A million and one uses for duct tape.:yes: The show is off the wall and screamingly funny. If you can imagine a hybrid of Tim Allen, Benny Hill, Kenny Everett, Bruce Campbell, and a wee bit of the Three Stooges then you've just about got the gist of what Red Green is all about. It's no longer on around here.:tears:

08-01-2009, 02:53 PM
as a kid (all first run) 'Sky King', 'Have Gun, Will Travel', 'The Twilight Zone', & 'The Outer Limits'.

as a teen 'Star Trek' and 'Wild Wild West'.

as an adult 'Til Death Us Do Part, 'The Benny Hill Show', 'Monty Python' Flying Circus', 'MASH'.

in middle age 'As Time Goes By', 'DWTS', 'Iron Chef America'.

Anyone remember Medic,one if not the first doctor type shows from the 50's.Richard Boone was the star.Theme music was Blue Star.Another one was Duffy's Tavern which I believe was from England but don't hold me to that,it could be American.These,if I recall were on around the time of It's Howdy Doody time.We,up here in Canada got our first TV broadcasts in the early 50's and these shows were on no more than a couple of yrs later.......................

MacGyver, T.G.I.F, The Disney Afternoon (Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Chip 'n Dale, and Rescue Rangers), Ninja Turtles, SilverHawks, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air

The list could go for days, but these are the key ones.

Hate to admit it, but as a kid I really liked The Beverly Hillbillies. My second favorite was probably Dobie Gillis. (Who remembers it? The great Bob Denver as Maynard G. Krebs. The Monster That Devoured Cleveland. :D)
