My roommate just bought all the Thundercats on DVD. Ridiculous.

I'm waiting for the Star Trek vs. TNG vs. DS9 thread.

Command decision: Delete "Peter Gunn" as my tenth show. Replace it with "Remember WENN," the original AMC's -- that is AMC before it messed its bed -- series about a Pittsburgh radio station immediately before and during World War II.

This is no agonizing reappraisal. I merely forgot about Remember WENN. And, of course, the new AMC dropped the show about a dozen episodes before it would have enough for syndication. This show would have remained in syndication longer than "The Honeymooners," had the new AMC not been what it became.

Yeah, a DS9 vs TNG thread would be interesting. (I'm completely in the DS9 camp, I mean isn't In the Pale Moonlight one of the best episodes of any trek? I am watching a lot of TNG right now cause I just got the DVDs a month ago.)


These are the only shows that I either own VHS or DVDs for or watch whenever they're on tv and try to keep up with the new episodes whenever they come out.

1. Star Trek DS9
2. Heroes
3. Babylon 5
4. House
5. Jericho
6. Star Trek TNG
7. Doctor Who old and new
8. Star Trek Voyager
9. My Hero (Unfortuantely Its a UK series and doesn't come on BBC America right now:(
10. Scrubs

I also love Monk and Psych and will watch Good Eats and Mythbusters whenever they're on television.

This was waaayyy more difficult than I imagined. I had to really THINK about shows I enjoyed as a kid and eliminated some choices (i,e, Bourbon Street Beat w/ Andrew Duggan) because they had very short runs.

I don't watch too much T.V. today, but by far the best T.V. show I have ever watched, which I just recently discovered, has to be "Curb Your Enthusiasm".lol lol

1.Curb Your Enthusiasm
2.Seinfeld
3.Dragnet
4.Adam 12
5.The Rifleman
6.The Streets of San Francisco
7.The Fugitive
8.The Twilight Zone
9.The Office (American Version)
10.My Name is Earl
11.I can't forget "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson".

T.V. shows I have watched but can't understand why they are popular:

1.Everybody Loves Raymond. (Horribly written. I can guess every single punch line. I have never even smiled at anything Ray Romano has ever uttered).
2.Wife Swap. Sounded good but I can't believe there are such sensitive people that cry and become uncontrolably angry because of such small things crawling around the U.S. It has to be scripted to some degree.
3.Sex in the City. They needed someone that is at least half way good looking on this show.

ooohhh I just remembered another one when I saw the twilight zone listed.

Do you remember that show called "Amazing Stories" I think it was Steven Spielberg.

My favorite episode was the one where the cartoonist was trapped in the belly of the plane and the plane lost it's wheels. He drew cartoon wheels and when they were going in for the landing...the cartoon wheels appeared.

I have to admit, I don't watch much of the fluff on TV today. I could care less about all the so called"Reality" shows. However here is my top ten of all time Favorites.

Star Trek (original series)
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (First and second seasons were fantastic!!)
Lost In Space (Again, an outstanding first season, not the silliness that followed later.)
Kolchack The Night Stalker
The Six Million Dollar Man
Twilight Zone
Time Tunnel
Ultraman(The original!!!)
Battlestar Galactica (original)
Wiseguy(80's Crime drama)

Looks like the Twilight Zone has a lot of fans. The Outer Limits was in the same era but doesn't have nearly the fan base.

I'd have to include Wiseguy (remember Kevin Spacey as Mel Profit), Streets of San Francisco (Karl Malden and Michael Douglas), and Get Smart in my top 15 along with Sky King and My Three Sons.
