Magic Fills the Air Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Goodness you do like your British TV shows don't you Kiwi! Some of my favourite TV shows: Lost - probably my favourite TV show of all time, despite the rather disappointing ending Heroes - only the first 2 series though The House of Eliott - BBC drama series set in the 1920s Some Mothers Do Ave Em - I just love Michael Crawford Blackadder - Goes Forth is my favourite Only Fools and Horses - I prefer the earlier series Fawlty Towers - 'don't mention the war!' Seinfeld - the best American sitcom IMO Sherlock Holmes - with Jeremy Brett Downton Abbey - drama series set in the early 20th century Merlin - BBC series Brideshead Revisited - with Jeremy Irons (I know I love period drama! ) Pride and Prejudice - BBC series with Colin Firth Our Mutual Friend - BBC adaptation of Dickens' novel Bleak House - same as above Little Dorrit - same as above (What can I say, I love Dickens! ) TV I hate, any reality show, Big Brother, the X-Factor, Britain's Got Talent and so forth!

Virginia Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Chronological Ultraman I used to watch that every day after school; nobody else I know remembers it! Quote
redrum Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 All In The Family This new channel we got on digital TV (Antenna TV) is showing Sanford & Son and All In The Family (2 shows each) Archie: 'She's hangin' around my neck like an albacross!' Fred to Aunt Esther: 'Esther, why don't you go mash your face into some dough and make some gorilla cookies?' Quote
BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Sherlock Holmes - with Jeremy Brett Pride and Prejudice - BBC series with Colin Firth TV I hate, any reality show, Big Brother, the X-Factor, Britain's Got Talent and so forth! I have to agree with these! Particularly Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy! I do like Survivor and The Amazing Race, probably the only two reality tv shows that I watch. I usually watch something on The Biography Channel, History Channel, Travel Channel, VH1 Classic or PBS. I do not like sit coms in general, although The King of Queens cracks me up sometimes and I will occasionally watch That 70's Show. Quote

spidersandsnakes Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 One of the freakiest and fun sci-fi TV shows ever.....the original '63 Outer Limits :) By blackglove at 2011-01-07 "There is nothing wrong with your television set.

TV I hate, any reality show, Big Brother, the X-Factor, Britain's Got Talent and so forth! Yep, Magic! You got that right! There is as I ALWAYS say, nothing like good British comedy to brighten your day! And yes, I do like some British drama shows and some British soap operas too! And I, like you, don't get the concept of "reality shows" either. I don't watch stuff like American Idol or the X-Factor or that tacky show where there are about 16 women who compete to marry a rich guy or something? The only "reality" shows I watch are "Eggheads", "Are You An Egghead?", "The Weakest Link" and "The Price Is Right" because they happen to be pretty cool quiz and game shows! And yes, I used to watch "The Moment Of Truth" for the shock value and "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" for the humour! Jeff Foxworthy is hilarious! Edited January 7, 2011 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote

ledzepfvr Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) One of my favorites in the 70's was MASH. Still watching the reruns and just as funny still. Sadly Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) passed away today at the young age of 96. I remember him also as Sgt. Friday's side kick in Dragnet in the 60's. RIP Edited December 8, 2011 by ledzepfvr Quote

It gets better and better (and wilder and wilder). The "Look out Faggot !" and the "Harassment Seminar" episodes were gold. Quote
