What was the last TV show you watched?

[Horace Debussy Jones]

Try The Twilight Zone. Not exactly scary usually, but extremely thought provoking and full of irony.

Hello there. :wave:

I've seen so many series, and to tell you the truth, I got a bit bored from anything new, fast paced and in color. [huh] I would like to commit to watching an old-school series. BUT, there's a thing: I don't know what to chose.
An evening thing, nothing scary or gruesome. Fashionable, with catchy phrases.
..with a YouTube link (since I'm unable to purchase the DVD's - reason being: I'm from Behind God's Back) lol

...
Please James, don't you DARE recommending "I love Lucy".

As with any long-running show, the quality from episode to episode can vary and the themes and plots get recycled, but "Twilight Zone" offered more intellectually and philosophically complex situations and ideas than the bulk of the other shows at the time. It has, IMHO, held up much better than the sitcoms of the period (which can be enjoyed for nostalgia or simple escapism) because its themes and ideas were, overall, timeless - many of them confronted us thousands of years ago and are still confronting us today. If you are turned off by most of 1950s / 60s TV, this one might work for you.

I Dream of Jeannie. :eyebrows:

:eusa_clap
Mae, she was on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show, as the Manicurist.
She wasn't sucking her stomach in....

Shame about Bob!

It sure was. Did you see Auto Focus?

I just tried a couple of episodes of "The Black List" Interesting premise but I'm not sure I'm in love with it yet though.

What older shows have you seen and liked? Here are some 60s shows I enjoy...
Hogan's Heroes
Bewitched
I dream of Jeannie
The Addams Family
Get Smart

I've seen these, and LOVED the Addams family. :thumb:
The show was on when I was a kid - and back then I had no idea it was from 1960s. The humor suited me.. and for me, it was so modern.
I might try out "Get smart"

You know me better than that.

Sure... :eyebrows:

Now, there's a show that managed to reach even Behind God's Back - we watched it almost religiously.

The group here I watch it with says that Noah is who Daryl brought back that we didn't see yet.

I think so too.

And that was Bob Crane on the drums in the theme song.

Sons of Anarchy I literally jumped up out of my chair and shouted "No! Not Bobby!"

 

[frussell]

I'm hoping everyone in SOA gets killed. Talk about a show that ran out of good ideas. It should have died with Hellboy. Frank

 

[frussell]

Worf - stay with "The Wire." At its best, it was my favorite crime show ever. Even when it wasn't as good now and then, it beat anything I've watched since, with the possible exception of "True Detective." Frank

I had no idea he could play drums.

I believe every character on SOA is slated to be killed or jailed. As far as originality, they peaked a while back. Jax turned into everything he despised and is heading for a bloody ending. The series ran about a year too long. But I'm in till the end.

 

[Horace Debussy Jones]

Just watched the first season of "The 100", a scifi show about recolonization of the earth after an approximate 100 year wait to let the radiation from a nuclear war die down. Sort of hokey in ways as all these series can be, but still pretty good for a soap opera. I'll watch the next season.

 

[Stearmen]

The Big Bang Theory, and Two And A Half Men. Wasn't sure about the gay marriage thing. Turned out to be the most laughing I have done since Jake was young and adorable! About, season 2 or 3.

It never had any good ideas. I can't remember a worse show. It fails in every category, but it fails in special effects in particular. The brothel after the Chinese mowed everyone down? The spray paint they used as blood splatter...looked like they gave a can to Abel. In 2014, the one thing no show should fail at is special effects. I would be insulting amateurs if I was to label it amateurish. That entire set wasn't even worth calling kitsch. The same went for Bobby's eye in the tupperware. I've seen jawbreaker eyeballs that looked more like eyeballs. They must have a budget of $12 per episode. When Kurt Sutter was joking in that first aftershow of this season that he didn't know where it was going and that he had only written up to episode 7 to that point, I don't think he was being coy.

Thanks for the love Bra... but I watched "The Wire" in real time, this would be my second viewing. Puddin' hasn't seen it and I wanted to show her what all the fuss was about. How's things hangin' on the left coast?
