JACK LORD -

- Beverly Hillbillies

- Wild Wild West

The best FBI show ever to grace television

What do you like from TV yesterday-year?

How old do they have to be? I kinda adore The Prisoner. And the Twilight Zone. And All in the Family, but I think "classic" should only be used for pre-1970 shit.

gilligan's island, because of the homoerotic tension between gilligan and the skipper

The Prisoner is fucking awesome. I just watched all of them like a year ago.

All of those failed Agent #2's

poor agent #2's

since everyone here is a different age - I guess its relational.

Murder She Wrote, Matlock, The Andy Griffith Show, The A-Team, stuff like that

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Golden Girls. I used to watch it every Saturday. I'd get up real early to watch the morning cartoons, which meant I'd wind up watching an hour worth of tv shows before the cartoons started. That hour consisted of Golden Girls and Star Trek Next Generations

chronovore · « **Reply #19 on:** October 29, 2008, 07:40:32 PM »

Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie for a lost age of American-made live, action, harem anime.

The Twilight Zone, the 1/2 hour black and white original eps - still untouched.

I miss The A-Team.

Greatness Gone · « **Reply #20 on:** October 29, 2008, 07:43:38 PM »

I Love Lucy & Full House for hott Uncle Jessie

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** October 29, 2008, 07:52:25 PM »

Andy Griffith, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, anything Looney Toons related, MGM animation classics like Tom and Jerry and Droopy, Scooby Doo, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Twilight Zone, Miami Vice...Magnum PI...

Oh I didn't even think about old cartoons. TOM & JERRY!

MASH and Cheers are the oldest shows I've bought on DVD. Both hold up pretty well - good scripts, good acting.

muckhole · « **Reply #24 on:** October 29, 2008, 10:53:09 PM »

Off the top of my head, All in the Family, WKRP in Cincinatti, and Welcome Back Kotter, although I haven't seen the latter two in years. I hope they've held up.

These shows never get mentioned, nice to see people not be gay for once.

Sorry, Cursed, but I think that title belongs to:

My grandpa watched Mash every damn day. Every time I was over there I'd hear the Mash theme around 11 pm and that was always around when he'd be sleep. Man, I miss staying at my grandmothers place and hearing Mash at 11 pm. RIP

Cheers.

GOD I LOVE CHEERS

Seriously, such a simple premise transformed into an amazing comedy that was rarely off quality, even towards the end of the series.

I also love

Star Trek: TOS, TNG (I won't classify the rest of the series as "classic" quite yet, but DS9 is next)
Classic Doctor Who (need to see MOAR)
Seinfeld

Mupepe · « **Reply #34 on:** October 31, 2008, 02:00:41 PM »

You feggits.

The Wonder Years

Himu · « **Reply #35 on:** October 31, 2008, 02:03:39 PM »

the wonder years is most definitely a classic but it's a bit too recent so I'm not sure if it counts but who gives a shit.
