[Sailor Steve]

A well-to-do friend of mine collects TV shows on DVD, so I borrow them all the time.
I regularly watch:
Hill Street Blues
Have Gun, Will Travel
Peter Gunn
Kung Fu
The Dead Zone (he hates that one, so I had to buy it myself)
Babylon 5
Firefly
Baa Baa Black Sheep (AKA Black Sheep Squadron)
The Avengers
Secret Agent (Danger Man)
Combat

[Takeda Shingen]

I'll take a different spin on this:

I would gladly trade:
Grey's Anatomy for Reruns of The Fugitive
Any sitcom on NBC for Reruns of Cheers
Survivor for Reruns of Mission: Impossible
Reruns of Will and Grace for Reruns of Futurama
Big Brother for Live coverage of drywall installation

[STEED]

Survivors (Season one) which was the best, it was never the same when Carolyn Seymour left the series she was a guest star in Space 1999, Star Trek TNG & Voyager. Terry Nation is well known as the creator of the Daleks in Dr Who and after making Survivors went on to do Blakes 7. :ping:

[Onkel Neal]

I Dream of Jeannie
Beverly Hillbillies

[Marcantilan]

Benny Hill...watched the show very often in the early / mid 80´s (was around 8-10 years at the time)...nearly every friday night

The original Battlestar Galactica (...and Lorne Greene as Cmdr. Adama...)

Fond memories of the time when the Playmobils fill my life...

[McBeck]

No doubt about:

"The muppet show"

We still have reruns og Will and Grace, Fraiser, Futurama, The Simpsons, CSI so I dont miss them :)

[kiwi_2005]

When a kid my favourite series were:
Saffire and Steel - weird acid trip to another dimension, scary!
Doctor Who - Those dilarks use to freak me out! I use to look at telephone boxes with great suspicion.
Space 1999 - i wanted to grow up and become a astronaut.
Dallas - JR ROCKED

[Skybird]

The Professionals (CI-5)
The Avengers

[STEED]

And this wacky one from the 1980's

[Takeda Shingen]

"The muppet show"

Oh, that's good. I forgot about that one.

[XabbaRus]

Terrahawks

Airwolf

Knightrider

Thunderbirds

[STEED]

That reminds me, Captain Scarlet.

[Ramius]

Hill Street Blues
Spitting Image :rock:

Plus a lot more i cant remember lol

[NEON DEON]

When I was a kid.:D

"Lost in Space" and "Johnny Quest"

[Syxx_Killer]

I wish JAG was still on. That was one of my favorite shows. I wish Knight Rider would come back, too. I think it would do good in a moden setting. KITT was the coolest F-Body Trans Am out there. There was a complete replica that sold on eBay recently. I'd love to drive a car like that. :lol:

[Torplexed]

Badly miss:

The Odd Couple

The Bob Newhart Show (The original with Suzanne Pleshette)

M*A*S*H (You never see military or historical sitcoms in this country anymore)

Barney Miller

WKRP in Cincinatti

Blakes Seven...got even better when they lost Blake

And I wanna see Irwin Allen's Land of the Giants redone with modern computer graphics. Loved that show as a kid. :cool:

[Iceman]

Gilligan's Isle! .... :) Specifically the one where the Japanese sub driver pulls into the isle...LMAO...

and man ur right Neal...I Dream of Jeannie...she was hot. :)

I miss B5 had recently got a few of the season finales off of Netflix...

and my son recently experienced Hogan's Hero's...that is a classic too....

[bradclark1]

I don't watch TV except for the evening news, but I never missed an episode of Hill Street Blues. They don't even have reruns of it which is mystery to me. Fish was the man.

[KevinB]

The Time Tunnel. Man! I would go back in time to 1944 and have a look around a type XX1.

[Sailor Steve]

Fish was the man.
Um, I think you meant Barney Miller. Also a very good show.

[Ishmael]

In no particular order:

Secret Agent/ The Prisoner

Frank's Place: Tim Reid's show about a New Orleans restaurant, great characters. Tim Reid's character inherits the place from his estranged father. He goes there to sell it, but Miss Marie, the Waitress Emeritus(she only waits on customers who've been coming for more than 15 years), likes him. So she, being the Voodoo Mamaloi that she is, puts the Whammy on him. He returns to New York to find he's been laid off from his job, his girlfriend dumps him and his apartment burns up with all of his belongings. He has no choice but to return to Frank's Place to take over.

Police Squad, the Series: Incredibly funny with the original gags, Leslie Neilsen & Alan North plus the guest star who only appears in the opening credits.

Homicide, Life on the Streets: The only cop show to actually apprehend a real suspect.

Red Dwarf: I'll never look at vindaloo the same way again. It also added an insult to my lexicon: Smeghead.

The Richard Sharpe series on BBC. A big fan of Sharpe's Rifles.

Reilly, Ace of Spies: Sam Neill as Sidney Reilly, the British Intelligence agent who penetrated the Bolshevik Revolution.

Night Court

Barney Miller: added this phrase to my lexicon: "My, What an unfortunate circumstance."

[Fish]

No doubt:

Dad's army!

[Polak]

Miami Vice
Airwolf
Knightrider
Magnum PI
MacGyver

They transmit Benny Hill and mission impossible everyday on Polish TV, so I am happy. :smug:

[Khayman]

"Button Moon"
Mr.Spoon always went there for adventures. Nasa could learn a lot from his rocket - it had a simple takeoff and land button. He was way ahead of his time. There was also the cool theme written by Peter Davison and sung by him and Sandra Dickinson.

"Paddington"
I firmly believe that we could have dealt with Saddam by sending him over to Iraq to give him the Paddington Stare. He'd have stepped down and there wouldn't have been any trouble after that. We'd have to send over a constant supply of marmalade, but that's better than troops.

"Rainbow"
Who needs nuclear weapons when you have Rod, Jane and Freddy? Also Bungle and Zippy were subtle critiques of politicians that weren't appreciated until recently. Many are the elected fools who bungle and should really keep it zipped (Clinton springs to mind).

"Trumpton"
Many an essay has been written about Captain Snork, but I always point to the almost biblical prescience of Windy Miller's mill; "Crooo eh deekk dah doo. Crooo eh deek da doo"

"Mr. Benn"
The literalists bete noire, the rebels suited punk. In an era where time travel was said to be impossible he did it every week. Stephen Hawking has still to explain the series.

Mr Ben was a shoplifter everytime he came out of that shop he pinched something, mind you the shop keeper was daft he never caught him at it. :lol:

[STEED]

The original Magic Roundabout with the world's first hippie rabbit known as Dillon.

Hey Man. :rotfl:

[Sharkstooth]

Homefront- I can't believe they gave that show such a short time, and yet we have all these garbage reality shows running year after year.

I would miss:
I Dream of Jeannie & Bewitched, but they are on reruns at most any time of the day.
