I have searched and didn't find any thread about favourite tv series so here we go.
I'll give my list
* Game of thrones - Simply the best. 3rd season has just started.
*Battlestar Galactica
*X files
*Oz
*House
Other mentions :
*seinfield
*curb your enthusiasm
*scrubs
*Rome
*Band of brothers
Biggest teen soap tv series I have ever watched : Dawson's Creek !!!
Post away !!!
Current stuff? Blue Bloods is at the top of my list, thought it's a pretty short list, as I don't watch much.
Old stuff: Gunsmoke, Bonanza, most of the old western series. Andy Griffith.
TV sucks anymore. The only show we watch, and we get it on Netflix, is Sherlock Holmes.
I currently love Warehouse 13, Dr. Who (any of the series). In the past, Boston Legal, X-Files, Star Trek Enterprise, and House as was mentioned. Um, yeah I am a scifi freak.
Going back a few years, but The Fugitive and Maverick were super to me. If I am not mistaken the final episode of the Fugitive was the most watched program until the final episode of MASH.
Now for this week it is The Masters. TV does not do Augusta National justice.
(1) Rome
(2) Twin Peaks
(3) Stargate SG1
(4) Stargate Atlantis
(5) Babylon 5
(6) Game of Thrones
(7) Walking Dead
(8) Star Trek TNG
(9) Battlestar Galactica
(10) X-Files
Comedy shows I like Seinfeld, KOTH, Yes Minister, Dragonball
Edit: Can't believe I forgot Band of Brothers, now that is a serie you have to watch as a marathon :thumbup:

Holmes is timeless. I still enjoy the old black-and-white Rathbone/Bruce films. But I think my favorite Holmes of all was Jeremy Brett (may he rest in peace). Brett was one strange dude, but I think he may be the best Holmes I've ever seen. Trivia: his first Doyle stage adaptation was to play Dr. Watson alongside Charlton Heston's Sherlock Holmes.
Of all time?
The original Star Trek.
Wild, Wild West
The old Mission Impossible series.
I was a kid, but I was glued to those shows. Not much TV interest anymore.
I think my current top-10, in no order:
Rescue Me
Breaking Bad
Sons of Anarchy
The Walking Dead
House
Psych
Burn Notice
Seinfeld
90210 (yes, I had a hard core addiction back in the 90s)
Scrubs
The Unit (I can't believe it only went 4 seasons)
Friends
Cheers
..I think I got most of them...
My all time favorite is probably MASH. I really enjoy Duck Dynasty. I love Boardwalk Empire.

I thought that was you cameoing for young Mr. Howard. Early Andy is indeed better than later Andy or (gasp) Mayberry RFD. Ken Berry was I'm sure a heck of a nice guy and he was certainly a GREAT performer (dancer, singer, etc.) but a replacement for Andy Griffith? I think not.

Oh, that reminds me, F-Troop, stupid as Hell, but I still watched it religiously.
Though Berry played the part well, Cpl Agarn (Larry Storch) was my favorite, always smelled like breakfast, used bacon grease to slick back his hair. :biggrin:
I think the best TV series were made in the 1960's. You had Get Smart, F-Troop, Bewitches, The Munsters, I Dream of Jeannie, The Twilight Zone, Dick Van Dyke, Andy Griffith, Lost in Space, Star Trek, Hogan's Heroes, the Addams Family....the list is endless. You show me any decade since then that has produced as many beloved series as the 1960's did. Can you even name one in the past 5 years? I think the last great TV series was Everybody Loves Raymond. That show will be long-remembered like these others and it stands out all the more due to all of the mediocre programing that surrounded it.
On a sidebar, did you ever notice what the Munsters was really all about? It was about immigration. You had this legal immigrant family trying to fit in with their American community and adopting the American customs while the Grandpa clung to his old world heritage. To me this theme is blatantly obvious but I've not met many people who've picked up on it. And that's what made the 60's shows great. They were always about something. Bewitched was about interacial marriage (she's a witch, he's a human), the Twilight Zone was packed with episodes with double meanings, and what was F-Troop if not a celebration of capitalism? O'Rourke Enterprises... HA!! I wish we had programs as good today.
Frasier and Everybody loves Raymond.

I missed this post when you first posted it, sorry.
But I agree with what you said, the subtleties of 60s shows were always good for the country, the crap today, well is generally doused with socialism and social injustices at the hands of unseen greedy corporate capitalist bastards that only govt has the power to tame.
In other words, communism is the answer. No wonder so many kids can't think for themselves, they have no anchor in life from which to rely on, they drift in a sea of lies.
Some stuff has aged well. Most of it hasn't. The Whirlybirds is still hard to sit-thru, for example... guys standing-around talking and drinking coffee... scripts laden with weak helicopter-stunts... Longwood Field, as some sort of ranger-station/trading-post/police-HQ/military-base/coffee-shop... roustabouts that can probably recite Lao-Tzu's works backwards, yet are content with mundane charter-cash and common fistfighting... The redeeming thing about the series is the effect it had in influencing hundreds of kids to become Nam-era chopper-pilots.

Only saw it in reruns, considering we lived 10 miles from Sacramento in those days, and the reception was horrid, only got one channel out of three in 1958, and it was snowy as hell.
Moved to Sacto in 59 and the TV broke a year later, we went awhile without one, which today isn't such a bad idea.
I guess my all time favorite was Disney, a show the whole family could watch, with a good moral base.
Man how times have changed, yet young libs today have no idea how much better things used to be.
Blue Bloods, House of Cards (British and US versions), Pacific,Band of Brothers, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Homeland (season 1 &2), Resuce Me, Hill Street Blues

Yeah. Sacto was a mystical place for me around '59. I think
Spin & Marty was based around there... the ranch. That series was fabulously solid.
It's hard to disseminate Disney TV-productions. They had built-in
never fail's. Musical-counterpointing being the main one.

I never realized that.
But today, the left would claim the show promotes child abuse, pitting two kids against one another to settle their differences.
Imagine that, letting boys be boys and learn a valuable lesson on life through violence.
Today, they join gangs and fight like cowards because the left has painted such a scenario as failed parenting.
When a lib asks how things have changed, this is a perfect example of how culture dealt to resolve issues under Canterbury rules, and it worked quite well.
Check it out, this'll trigger some memories.

Wow. Awesome find. That's pretty-much how I remembered it. Life-lessons and adventures... with minimal hoopla. Even the occasional sing-along was void of sap. You're right... this show could
never be aired these days.
What sucked was that Khrushchev and his wife adored
Spin & Marty and other Disney Americana. Rugged boyhood, learning to work a 'communal' farm-ranch life, blah blah blah... Plus, Disney's wife wanted to meet Khrushchev during his 1959 SoCal visit.
The Khrushchev's were never 'banned' from Disneyland. That was a media-creation. It was actually a police-security problem. Here's the backstory:

Fascinating story, one I never heard. Who knows what might of come of our relations with the USSR had he been able to visit.
M Squad... I was the only kid I knew who watched it; starring Lee Marvin as Chicago homicide-detective, Frank Ballinger. He narrated the episodes, which were loaded with 'the city at night' shots. But they didn't project a claustrophobic-aura like the more-popular Naked City did. M-Squad was the anti Naked City. No philosophical starch or windy dramatics. -Just Marvin driving-around in an unmarked '57 Ford, smoking cigarettes and solving crimes with fundamental police-skills. Superb.

The whole series is on DVD now. Can't recall what they wanted for it. So is Peter Gunn, It Takes a Thief, Banachek and a few other of the better early crime series. But yes, M Squad was some of Lee Marvin's best early work. I cannot recall watching Naked City even once.

Quote from: taxed on April 29, 2014, 02:30:13 PMI haven't watched this latest season...
We originally liked the cast, but now - not so much.
The Baron... Let's see: John Mannering is an ex-Army Ranger, then an ex-Texas 'rancher' with oil-holdings... who discovers he has an eye for art and fine antiques... who then purchases the top auction-house in New York City: Baron August's... moves his HQ to England to open auction-houses across Europe, then is charmingly hoodwinked by a secret British police-agency to solve art-crimes, which usually involve political-espionage. That's the background for Steve Forrest's suave American-shenanigans in London high-society.
Produced and written by Saint-castoffs, Marty Berman and Terry Nation, it's a comfortably compelling series that only lasted one-year for some reason. It was probably too much like The Saint, but I didn't care. Thrills, romance, snappy one-liners... a sleek Jensen Interceptor gracing the motorways. Bravo.
Cornballish as Hell, I know. But I loved F-Troop, I always like the three main characters, Forrest Tucker, Larry Storch, Ken Berry.
I still chuckle silently at Cpl Agarn using bacon grease to shine his shoes and grease his hair, I had one of those guys in my platoon.

Not gonna lie, I used to watch some show called Porter Ridge on Discovery Channel about a bunch of Indiana rednecks. I stopped watching it and cancelled my cable though when my pill head neighbor moved in. After that all I had to do was put my ear up against my wall or peak out the window to get my fill. It was like I was thrust into my very own white-trash drama reality TV show, center stage.
Have Gun, Will Travel -Except if you lived in 1880-ish San Francisco, you'd be traveling too extensively for your gunfighting-skills to be useful in a relevant time-frame. A setting in Denver would be perfect.
Richard Boone is superb. A Shakespeare-quoting, lightning-draw, no-nonsense ladies' man. -Living in a high-society San Francisco hotel-suite. A few of the episodes take-place in SF, but not many. Coastal California wasn't 'the wild west'. Yet most of Paladin's adventures occur on the other side of the Rockies. -So if a rancher, or town is being harrassed, the viewer is implored to believe that Paladin's skills are worth waiting months for; good weather not withstanding.
The episodes themselves were 30-minutes, which just isn't long-enough. -Another reason why it should've been just a San Francisco-detective show. For example, Yancy Derringer's adventures all took-place in New Orleans and riverboats. There was no need for him to venture 'out west' for the purpose of script-inspired derringer-sequences.
That all said, I liked HGWT a lot, primarily because of Boone. I originally thought Boone's name was 'Will Travel' and the show was called Half-Gun: Will Travel... as his nickname.

I imagine the network was thinking he'd pull in the women with his rugged looks.
I never saw the show till years after it ran, we never had a TV till 1959, anyway one that could get more than one channel. and even then it was a tiny screen from a second hand store.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. All that said, Richard Boone, God bless his soul, was one ugly son of a bitch. We watched Bonanza and Maverick and Cheyenne and Wyatt Earp and Sugarfoot and loved all those pretty cowboys, but Paladin was ugly. I believe he was the next-to-last actor to ever be "killed" by John Wayne too -- in "The Shootist." He played an intensely unpleasant and UGLY man in that one too.

Ernest Freaking Borgnine.
Warren Mofo Oates.
Jack Wandering-Eye Elam.
(*traditional salute, wit' da whollllllllle arm!* :wink: )
Boone conveyed INTELLIGENCE. Too smart to be just another angst-ridden cowpoke-cutey, kissin' on his horse.

Yep. You are correct in every way. I do not dispute a single word.
But he sure was ugly.
Listing a bunch of other ugly guys doesn't make him less ugly.
I will agree with you in every way on his marvelous touch and lights as an actor, and he literally provided much-needed fire and life in roles such as the bad guy in "Big Jake."
But I've seen mud fences that were prettier.

Nothing is metal as having one band member committ suicide, take picture of it and use it for album cover and having one of your guitarist become the most despied man in Europe. :laugh:
No love for old school Bathory though? The Return? Blood, Fire, Death? Under the Sign of the Black Mark?
De Mysterias Dom Sathanas! Gotta say though, I prefer Atilla Cishars vocals over Dead's. Not really into Mayhem's newer stuff. Too bad Burzum killed Mayhem.
Looking back, no era will ever be as metal as those batshit crazy Norwegians with their black metal. Nothing can top them.

I just wanted to point out the funfact about Mayhem, I do feel little sorry for Vikernes though even though he is a murderer he did serve his time in prison and I do not agree with his views, the left will not be satisfied until they have crucified him as an example of what happens to people that dares to exercise their freedom of speech.
Back to music, when you are drunk waving your head around like a retard all black metal sound the same to me :tounge:

Ol' Varg got out of prison not too long ago and released a few albums. I'm a big fan of Filosofem and was happy to hear his music go in that direction. I thought Belus was great despite what most people say. I'm not really digging the stuff after Belus though.
Shame he torched that beautiful stave church. At least he made up for it by releasing Filosofem... I figure that's almost an even trade in terms of Norwegian cultural contributions to the world. I think he's living in France now.

I have to disagree as the Church is a irreplacable beautifull heritage from our ancestors whereas a music album is just contemporary art, but for foreigners I can understand your sentiment, but just imagine someone burning down i.e Independence Hall in America. He is living in France now but was arrested by the French authorities for hate speech, either execute the man for murder or relase him and leave him alone, this constant persecution is just the left using him as an example.

Just messing with you man... those old stave churches are bad ass. Being a big history buff myself it's disappointing that it was burnt down.
Honey West... starring Anne Francis, and her beauty-mark. She's a hot 20-something playgirl, who's father owns a detective-agency. -Or owned. She takes-over after he goes belly-up. Too bad the show was on the same path, because it had potential if Four Star didn't bring a male 'partner' in. Independent women need men to 'help' them, nag them, and keep them out of trouble. Ugh.
West was a good badgirl, which was the allure of the show for me. She knew martial-arts, could handle a gun, and had a pet leopard. Having a male partner involved in the plots was dumb. The producers should've just brought in Amos Burke (Gene Barry) occasionally, if they wanted sexually-charged banter. It sucked that the episodes only 30-minutes, while good badboy; Burke's Law's were 60... both solving identical crime-plots. Oh well, even though Francis was in a gown way more than a bikini, she never made it seem that way... :wink:

1956-62, The Bell Telephone Science Series... starring Dr. Frank Baxter. A fascinating concoction of animation, photography, symphonics, and good-natured sparring between humans and cartoon-guests. No matter your age, the shows treat you like you have a brain. There's never a wasted moment, as factual-explanations and conjecture follow a logical scientific flow to a solid conclusion. There's also a linguistic-episode thrown in, as Baxter butts-in on Alice's Through The Looking-Glass adventures. Baxter has a unique delivery-style, and will mix-in God whenever he feels like it, to emphasize a certain point.
The 'magic screen' concept provides a metaphysical dimension to the goings-on. In a couple episodes, it's actually depicted as Baxter's assistant's (whoever is providing comic-relief/audience mcguffin-ery) mind. Then there's a secondary 'magic screen' which supplies functionary data-images, when somebody picks-up a microphone and says: " Roll clip, " or whatever.
They do discuss a form of global warming circa 1958, in the context of mankind may expect the unexpected, since Swedish meteorologists had just discovered 'upper-air masses' in the 1930's, and WW2 delayed their study.
I'd rate the series as 8.8 out of 10, highly re-watchable.

NCIS I love Abby!
from 1963, The Littlest Hobo... starring a german-shepherd named London. -Not the 70's schlock redux.
The perfect fictional animal-series. Sort of a canine Route 66. But if you expand the POV a bit, it's like a canine Twilight Zone. The dog enters a town, discovers a human with a dilemma, and ends-up solving it via a logical string of situational occurrences that don't involve sappy human-characteristics. More closer to those of an angelic Puck; the spryte from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The scripts are fast-paced, but low production-values diminish the show's impact

Tightrope, 1959... Only lasted one season, but wow... it has aged beautifully, dialogue-wise. There's more original one-liners, pickup-lines, and tuffguy-slang than a Raymond Chandler thesaurus. It stars Mike Connors has a nameless undercover-cop working for a nameless undercover crime-busting agency... and each episode takes place in a nameless city. That's about it.
The show's gimmicks were Connors hiding a .38 in a back-holster that no frisker ever finds, and the stories end with Connors' planned escape, as he narrates: " Only one man got away... ", followed by a street-scene of him walking, smoking a cigarette, and philosophisizing about whatever. This series blows Mannix away.

The cop's name (in the credits, anyway) was Nick. Cheesy theme music even for B&W full-screen. This episode was written and directed by the producers. Fittingly, it's titled "Getaway Day."

I'm not a fan of dice-n-slice, but I find the characters interesting. I know some people from MN and they say that's how the people are. :lol:
Another one I like is the Jesse Stone series. They're kinda strange too.

These are the favorite series I have on DVD.
As Time Goes By (U.K.) (Dame Judi Densch)
C.S.I. (original: Gil Grissom era)
Crime Story (hyperstylized, fun cop show: terrific casting)
Deadwood (Al Swearengen for President!!!)
The Equalizer (Edward Woodward, Robert Lansing. Best cast of that era.)
HELL ON WHEELS (ONGOING): (Taming Wild West railroad men...and women.)
Hill Street Blues (What's not to like about roll call? And be careful out there!)
Homicide: Life on the Street (Ned Beatty. Ned freaking Beatty. On TV!!!)
Hustle (U.K.) (Robert Vaughan crime capers)
Justified (Dutch Leonard done to perfection: an absolute gem!)
La Femme Nakita [and, later, Nikita] (When looking at guns is not enough....)
Las Vegas (James Caan)
Leverage (Tim Hutton stars in a slick, funny rob-the-crooks caper series)
Miami Vice (It's the cars and wardrobe, ya know. And the music.)
M.I.-5 (U.K.) (The Brits' counterspies and MUSLIM ENEMIES THEY FACE.)
Murder One (second-best TV theme ever.)
Nero Wolfe (Tim Hutton terrific as Archie Goodwin)
NEW TRICKS (ONGOING): (U.K.) (Absolute must: older cops tackle cold cases. Terrific!)
NYPD Blue
The Sopranos (Subversively addictive. Just save money and buy the whole series.)
STRIKE BACK (ONGOING): best anti-terrorist show on world TV. Excellent!
The Wire (Another example of fine Baltimore police work...and politics.)
Wiseguy (undercover Italian-and-proud cop).
SCI-FI ON DVD
Battlestar Gallactica (remake, this time with a budget)
DR WHO (ONGOING): (Tom Baker era, new series 1-8) (The Doctor is very, very in.)

Firefly (westerns and sci-fi, with a whole lotta heart and soul)
Max Headroom (When the news media is the enemy, a computer-generated hero emerges!)
Stargate (Get your ninth chevron while it's hot....)
Stargate SG-1 (more, some even better)
Stargate Universe (best sci-fi premise of this overall group)
Star Trek Deep Space Nine (Alien regulars outshine the humans: Odo and Kira, anyone?)

I didn't know there was a series based-on
Fargo. That's weird in a good way, I guess.
So was

Lotsa excellent dogsled-action, with detective-work thrown-in... The only thing that kept the series from being superbly-great was the reliance on
too many studio-shots. The bulk of the shows were people standing-around talking in log-cabins, trading-posts, wigwams, taverns, etc.

No, I'm on the road, but I can't wait to check it out. I have to catch up on the last 2 episodes I think... I really like Jeffrey Donovan too being a big Burn Notice fan..
As a child I loved Captain Kangaroo before school and Sally Star after school (Philly shows).
As a teenager I loved Big Valley, The Iron Horse, Soul Train and Laugh In.
As an adult I loved West Wing, HBO's Band of Brothers, and the History Channel's Biography.
These days I grow increasingly uncomfortable with watching violence. Most of the shows on regular television are way too violent and negative for me. I spend less time watching TV and more time working on my family tree on AncestryDOTcom, hanging out in Christian bible study forums and political forums.
Our computer is in our living room. I can hang out on the computer and still be in the same room as Hubby while he watches his motorcycle/car shows. It works for us.

Same here. I'm at the point where, the only thing I watch on TV anymore is cartoons.
I think my most favorite series in recent times has been "Doc Martin".
It's an English comedy about a doctor who has a personality problem.
Second is easily "Fargo" and third is "Tyrant".
A couple of other fun ones has been "Devious Maids" and "Mike & Molly".
It's all their different types of characters that make them fun, and IMO, the writers are good too.

Have you sampled this comedy/drama? LOVEJOY, with Ian McShane before his role in DEADWOOD. It's a massively-talented romp among crooked antiques dealers, with often-hilarious results. It'll grow on you.

No, I have not heard of it.
Youtube isn't coming up for me at the moment, I probably need to update something, but thanks, I will check it out.
In british show "Good night sweetheart" 1993-99. The man, Garry, travels from 1990s London to the "Blitz" London of 1940-45 and back. During six seasons he performs in 1940s and mention many songs, he clam as his own creation.
I was looking on the web for the list of songs Garry "wrote" and brought to 1940s. Couldn't find one... So, maybe I would be the first one, who collected all Garry's achievments. :)
Here all (I hope) songs that was mentioned in this series. Maybe it will be fun for people who like this series, to remember the episods, looking through the list
