Favorite old TV show - Rockford Files.

Excellent choice and reminds me that I left off Maverick (TV series with James Gardner)

Garner was the master of the anti-hero role.

Garner was the master of the anti-hero role.

He has always been one of my favorite actors. Loved him in Support Your Local Sheriff and Support Your Local Gunfighter as well.

Two shows that are not talked about anymore that I really liked were Titus and Grounded for Life

Current shows that I can't miss are GoT, Better Call Saul, Top Chef.

Re-watching Deadwood now prepping for the movie. A case could be made Deadwood is the best show ever.

I'm just getting caught up on Better Call Saul now, currently on season 3. Bob Odenkirk is just amazing.

I wonder if this thread was up a few years back if Cosby would've gotten some votes

That show is such a slow boil, every episode, every season, things getting hotter, hotter, hotter...

Amazing ride. Fantastic character development.

 

[riverman]

Bob Odenkirk is just amazing.

anything he's in is better for it...

Deadwood was the best..pissed me off when they ended it without resolving the story..Ian McShane and Molly Parker were great in it.

Deadwood was amazing. Wife and I called everyone and everything a hoople headed cocksucker for months after we binge watched it. And played a drinking game each time they said it.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Rules of engagement was underrated and very good.

You must have me on IGNORE as well.

I loved Deadwood. My life is forever incomplete due to its abrupt departure...

In no particular order:

Curb your Enthusiasm
Breaking Bad
The Wire
Game of Thrones

Favorite shows my kids watched (before Netflix took over) was Teen Titans and Adventure Time.

Luckily I knew that Deadwood ended abruptly and they were making a movie before I watched it.

5 Westerns - Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Wild Wild West, Longmire

5 Subterfuge - The Prisoner, The Avengers, I Spy, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Mission Impossible

5 The Law - Perry Mason, LA Law, Dragnet, Columbo, Hill Street Blues

5 Funny Stuff - Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, Fernwood Tonight, Second City TV, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis

5 War, Exploration and History - Combat, The Magical World of Disney, Then Came Bronson, Drunk History, The Crocodile Hunter

Pretty much everything nowadays is just glitzy, updated rehash of the themes introduced in these shows. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

You can even take a fun discussion about TV and turn it into a downer. That is a real art.

I have edited it for you since you took my observation in a negative way.

My son just set us up with a Disney plus account and I have to say in a small sample size, the Star Wars series Mandalorian is maybe the best quality tv series I've watched ever for tv....can't really compare it so early on as I've only watched two episodes and often the writing will water down as it gets going but so far....it's better than the last few Star Wars movies in my view
