Five Crazy Things: TV Shows

Barbara: In the spirit of yesterday’s spirited conversation (you guys ROCK!), I thought it might be fun to name our favourite shows for our ages. 5 might be hard, but here you go!
1. Gilligan’s Island (this from my childhood—I’d watch the reruns after junior school every single day)
2. 30 Something (ironically, when I was 20-something)
3. Twin Peaks (need I say more?)
4. Friends (in my 30s)
5. Game of Thrones (right now. I love magic realism, and this baby has awesome characters of ever age, although the older ones are by far the most interesting)

Deb:
1. I love Lucy
2. The Dick Van Dyke Show
3. Andy Griffith
4. Twin Peaks
5. Friends
6. Six Feet Under
7. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
8. 30 Something
9. Friday Night Lights
10. The Mary Tyler Moore Show
11. Gidget
Yes, I know, couldn't stop myself. 

What are yours?

      WliiA - no show has made me laugh harder. I laugh until my sides hurt and my eyes water. I made the mistake of trying to eat a bowl of cereal while watching an episode and managed to snort quite a lot of milk through my nose.

      Shalaka, I'm a newly converted Whovian. Only about 3 months, but it has become one of my favorite shows. I LOVE it!

  9. Karen FrazierAugust 9, 2012 at 9:59 AM

    Oh my...so difficult to only choose 5, but here they are, in no special order:
    National Geographic Specials,
    Whose Line Is It Anyway? (American version)
    Carol Burnett Show
    Dick Van Dyke Show
    Castle

    Honorable mention:
    Battlestar Galactica/Caprica
    Bugs Bunny/Warner Bros cartoon shows
    Charmed
    Buffy
    Animaniacs
    Soap

    Man, I could keep going on and on. Add "The Walking Dead", "Downton Abbey", " Falling Skies"
    Five shows per genre would be easier, but still difficult. ;)
    Remember when there were the weekly plays like "Goodyear Playhouse" and "The United States Steel Hour? They had big named stars like Paul Neuman. Soooo very good.

    HUGS,

    I keep hearing great things about Game of Thrones, but it isn't on any of the free channels over here yet. D: Anyway, some of my absolute faves are (in no particular order - just the way my brain spews them out):

    1. Friends
    2. Whose Line (both UK and US) - seriously that show kept me sane through some tough times, and still does! Guaranteed to have me crying with laughter.
    3. The X-Files
    4. Star Trek TOS and TNG (geek alert!)
    5. Supernatural
    6. The Simpsons (because they just rock!)
    7. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (seriously, so much awesome in one show. And girl power!)
    8. Stargate SG-1 (more geekiness, but I adored that show)
    9. Doctor Who (but only with David Tennant, because he IS The Doctor)
    10. And my new favourite is the BBC's 'Sherlock'

    Okay, I know that's way more than five, but Deb cheated so I figured I could too! :D

    2. Suits (stumbled across it a month ago and feel in love with it)
    3. Perception (a show that actually requires thought!)
    4. I Love Lucy and Golden Girls (my grandmother got me started watching these when I was a kid and I love them!)
    5. House, ER, and Gilmore Girls (all finished and all have special places in my heart)

    The one show I wish hadn't been cancelled so soon was Homefront on ABC in the early 1990s. Great writing, great characters, fabulous actors.

    I watch pretty much anything shown on Masterpiece Mystery. (Poirot, Miss Marple, Sherlock, Zen, Foyle's War, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lewis, Case Histories)

    And Masterpiece Classics (Downton Abbey, Cranford, Larkrise to Candleford...)

    If I had to take one set of DVDs with me to that deserted island, it would be the full set of Dick Van Dyke Shows. No question.

    My favorite shows through the ages (1970's-2000's):

    Electric Company

    Super Friends Justice League (the late 70's version, the version with the Wonder Twins and Gleek) (Wonder Woman was my wee childhood hero. She was my all that until Princess Leia came onto the scene.)

    The Love Boat

    Spider Woman (Saturday morning cartoon)

    M*A*S*H

    Barney Miller

    Double Trouble (I always liked the NYC episodes better than the Iowa episodes.)

    Misfits of Science

    3-2-1 Contact

    Airwolf

    MacGyver

    Quantum Leap

    Night Court

    The Equalizer

    Forever Knight

    Star Trek (original series) (I <3 Spock!)

    The Vicar of Dibley

    Antiques Roadshow

    History Detectives

    Whose Line Is It Anyway?

    Mythbusters


    Many of these, even the older ones, I still watch quite often.

    janey for someone who doesn't watch all that much tv i can sure come up with more then my quota of what i like to watch .

    1: star trek the next generation. i did mention yesterday i love sir Patrick Stewart . this is the show that started my interests in his work

    2: mythbusters

    3: house . more for the relationships within the hospital then the medical puzzles . House and Wilson were so good together.

    4: real rescue shows such as helicopter heroes . this show follows the work of the Yorkshire air ambulance in the UK and is really interesting .the only time a famous person is involved is introducing each segment or doing small interviews with the air crew .it is mostly just the air ambulance crews going to or from accidents and the accident victims talking about what they are doing or what happened to them . there are also others like highland emergency , 24 hours in a and e and sea patrol UK . all based on filming the real rescue services or hospital staff going about there work and no famous people involved .

    5: Monty Python / whose line UK and USA and Drew Carey's improvaganza . well if i am going to watch comedy it is going to be the best comedy i can find !

    6: red dwarf

    Oh, dear. Just 5 shows? I don't think I'll be able to narrow it down that far...

    1) The Disney cartoons of the 80's/90's (Gummi Bears, Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, etc.) I loved watching those as a kid!

    2) M*A*S*H - Cause who didn't love that show?

    3) Jeeves and Wooster - They used to show it on PBS on Saturdays. That was my first look at the genius of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. :)

    4) Whose Line is it Anyway - World's coolest show. End of story.

    5) Top Gear - For someone who doesn't drive, I really love shows about cars!

    There are many others (Doctor Who, Star Trek, House, and so on), but I think these are my top 5.

    The ultimate top 5, not counting other favourites...
    In no specific order:
    1) The Golden Girls: I remember watching these in all states of my life. A real classic that I wish will be on TV for many years to come.
    2)Whose line (UK and US): Ah, those memories of "family" night. This was one of the series that we watched. Not all so nice nights, but at least everyone could enjoy the show.
    3)Walker, Texas Ranger: I watched this because my dad is a Norris look a like :)
    4)Gilmore Girls: Do I even need to explain myself. Just wonderful show.
    5)The Pretender: Just because of the idea that you can be anything you want.
