Good series

As I kid Battlestar Galactica was my favorite. Didn't like the reboot. It had it's moments but I just couldn't get in to it.

A few classics:
- The Young ones
- Bottom (big Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson fan; we lost a comedy genius when Mayall passed away)
- Blackadder (if you've never seen it, you're missing out, seriously, go watch it)

Old Sci-fi series I like:
- Red Dwarf (I actually watched a few episodes last night)
- Andromeda
- Firefly
- Farscape
- Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy
- Buck Rodgers (Col. Wilma Deering had a lot to do with it, I was hitting puberty at that time)
 
Oh, how can I forget to mention Doctor Who? My first was Tom Baker (4th Doctor). I really enjoyed David Tennant (10th). I also liked the 2005 reboot. Still haven't been able to watch the new Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), I hear it's quite good.
 
Not necessarily in any order:

Hogan's heroes
Frasier
Counterpart
Man in the High Castle
Lost in Space - reboot 2018.
Star Trek Discovery - production quality is movie-like.
Red Dwarf
Seinfeld
Happy Days - when I was a kid. It and MASH seemed to be on constant repeat rotation.
 
Sorry to be the old grumpy man here but this is like asking "What's your favorite color or flavor of ice cream?". I guarantee it will devolve into someone commenting about how they don't like something and this will spin off into that.

So I'll start. I can't stand Doctor Who. I think it's one of the worst shows ever produced for TV. Why it was ever produced, I haven't a clue.

But to stay on topic, I love Mr. Robot.

I didn't miss no one...

Jeez the room must light up when you enter the party...

The music thread seems to be doing just fine. Not everybody likes everything.

Is Blake's 7 more your cup of tea?
 
Oh, forgot the absolute peak of TV: The X Files!!!

Streaming services are great for old stuff. That's why we're rediscovering Hogans Heroes; that and coronavirus...

Blake's 7 I've heard of but never seen.
I also remember, vaguely, that one about the moonbase and moon that leaves our orbit?

I actually can't remember much from it. Mind you I was 7 or 8 when this was first aired. I just remember the dystopian setting and the odd looking spaceship. It was aimed at adults so it dealt with a lot stuff that went way over my head at the time. The series hasn't been repeated much afterwards, at least not that I can remember.

Flowery Twats.
Or was it Farty Towels?
Oh no, it was Fawlty Towers.
"Whatever you do, don't mention the war!" Comedy gold right there.

Ever watched The new Statesman?
 
I've seen all of Blake's 7. My recollections are
  1. I liked it a lot (but I was much younger when I saw it).
  2. The special effects were even cheaper than Doctor Who's.
  3. The end of the last episode was not something I expected. (I won't spoil it.)
Some other shows I remember and like:
  • Star Trek (the original series)
  • The Prisoner
  • The Fugitive. The idea was fresher when it was made, and David Janssen and Barry Morse were perfect. The series finale was kind of meh, but at least it had a finale.
  • Columbo
  • Crossing Jordan (especially season 1)
  • [EDIT: Almost forgot] Mission: Impossible
 
My list in no particular order:
  • The Wire
  • Battlestar Galactica (all three are neat)
  • Knight Rider
  • Babylon 5
  • Star Trek (Original and Next Generation)
  • Falling Skies
  • The A Team
  • Doctor Who
  • Dallas
  • Airwolf
  • Magnum
  • MASH
  • Miami Vice
 
What is interesting is comparing episode counts per season. Older series had many more episodes per season. Nowadays, somewhere between 6 and 12, is a common number for a non-cartoon series and they all are 'dropped' in one day.
 
In cronological order:
-the smurfs(yes) in my childhood :)
-sledge hamer
-the simpsons
-comic spanish series of my
country(peor es nada,el palacio de la risa)
-dark angel
-family guy
-south park
-ncis

for now remember that......

ps: from my childhood:
-thundercats
-he-man and the masters of the universe
