Best T.V. Shows of all time
 

I grew up on 70's & 80's t.v. shows and to this day I still watch some of them when I see them on. If you had to pick a few shows that never grow old on you, what would they be?

1. Hogan's Heroes
2. All in the Family
3. Hill Street Blues
4. Newhart

Fraiser
CSI: Miami
Two and a Half Men
Reba
Becker

toss up between The Sopranos or The Wire

All in the Family
Carol Burnett Show

Carol Burnett Show was funny stuff!

I always liked the fact that it was okay to crack each other up...and I believe they tried to do it to each other.

There is a you tube video of Carol acting like a flasher to Conway who is behind some glass. The only thing is (as you can see in the video) She actually is topless. The look on his face is...well... you need to see that video. The audience is amazed also.

The original Star Trek.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
The Bob Newhart Show.
The Carol Burnett Show.
All In The Family (first 2 or 3 seasons).
The Prisoner.
Sherlock Holmes Mysteries (with Jeremy Brett).
Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Fawlty Towers.


There were a lot more good ones, but you don't see much to compare with those these days.

rooster.

The one program I watch over and over to the rolling eyes of my wife is Seinfeld and love South Park.


And when the Wings channel had the air combat (dogfight) recreation program.

In addition to some of previously mentioned shows:

The Twilight Zone.

Bonanza

Gunsmoke

Perry Mason

Victory at Sea

Combat!

Leave it to Beaver

Our Gang Comedies

The East Side Kids

I don't know that Moonlighting qualifies as one of "The Best" but my wife and I enjoyed it while it was on.

To me, it's a tossup between Seinfeld and Monty Python's Flying Circus. Both are undeniably brilliant. :yes:

I enjoyed "Night Gallery" it was a Twilight Zone only in color. Wish someone would air it again.

Route 66. Could be sappy at times, but generally good story lines, lots of "up and coming" stars before they -were- stars, plus one more unique quality. The episodes were filmed ON LOCATION. All episodes available on DVD.... and worth it.

Seinfeld
Married With Children
CSI Miami
2 And A Half Men

My wife would have a totally different view, I assure you.

and a guilty pleasure (because at the time it was Friday nights and the kids were out): Dallas ;)

I still get a hearty laugh out of watching Sanford and Son.

Maybe it's because I have kids, but "The Cosby Show" was top notch television all around.

Bill doesn't get nearly enough credit for the fine work he's done. He really deserves a statue somewhere. :yes:

BSG, the new one.

Hawaii 5 0
Cheers
Bonanza
Kung Fu

Seth
Forever Analog and Covered In Parrot Poop

Oooh. I forgot all about "Your Show of Shows" and "Dean Martin". I don't know why I didn't put in "The Twilight Zone", as it was a great reflection of some of the great SF that was coming out at the time, crossed with the need for a 30-minute morality play for television. Rod Serling, you are missed!

Also, there was a show called "Meeting of the Minds" that Steve Allen did many years ago, which was round table discussions between historical figures on one subject or another. Great fun. Steve was quite the inventive guy.

12 O'Clock High
The Invaders

and let's not forget the specials and anthology shows like "General Electric Theater;" "Playhouse 90;" and "Omnibus." These often presented excellent teleplays by the likes of Neil Simon, Paddy Chayevsky, Rod Serling, and many more AND first rate stuff like "Marty," "Requim For a Heavyweight," "The Comedian," and "Twelve Angry Men." They also brought comedy and musical greats like "Amal and the Night Visitors," "Kismet," "Once Upon a Mattress," "Peter Pan," and "No Time for Sergeants," and, more recently, stuff like "Lonesome Dove," "War and Rememberance," and "ROOTS." Who can argue with that?

Wow... alot of great ones that I havn't seen in Ages!!!

How about Wild Wild West

I still get a kick out of the original Muppet Shows.

I lady I knew back when the show was on could not miss them,no matter what.. !!

Soupy Sales anyone?
