Best old TV Show?

[SuSu251]

I am talking before 2000. What is the best old school TV show you can think of?

 

[Tanakalian]

Kunt U mij de weg naar Hamelen vertellen, meneer.

Untranslatable. 1970s Dutch tv-series, never been made anything better than that one.

 

[MidnightBBC]

The Addams Family from the 60’s always made me laugh.

 

[Rogue Scribe]

The old Twilight Zone shows with Rod Serling. A bit dated, but still pretty good stories. For a more modern take there is Black Mirror.

 

[Yoga Princess]

If were talking can watch with kids, I'd say The Brady Bunch, Full House and I Love Lucy. For adults, I'd say Dallas, Seinfeld and Friends. I'd also like to mention L.A. Law and Alf from the 80's.

 

[Tazreale]

Sliders, before it went to crap in later seasons. (Zombie season that basically ruined everything and there after.)

 

[The Count of Chaos]

I have to say Twin Peaks, it had a little dated 90s elements to it, but overall the show had a great many characters, and interesting plotlines. Agent Dale Cooper is still one of my favorite characters. I know David Lynch was going to really make the second one weird, but Twin Peaks: The Return disappointed me so much I stopped watching.

It's hard to 'bring back' the magic when doing a much later extension of a good TV show and they usually miss the mark.
I liked Twin Peaks, and I noted that Netflix has the series on, so may watch it through. Th elast time I watched it was when it aired on TV.
I used to have breakfast and/or lunch at the 'Twin Peaks' cafe (named Mar-T in real life). Great waffles and toasted ham and cheese sandwiches!

Another TV show from the 90's I should watch again is Northern Exposure. Used to live in the town it was filmed in and they even paid me $25 to park an old 1950's Chevy pickup by the old church in the 'Adam's Wedding' episode.

Kolchak: the Night Stalker the show that inspired the X-Files.

 

[Darkstranger]

Red dwarf hands down (uk verstion)

 

[Cloudbusting]

 

[Melevolence]

I'm a sucker for Gun Smoke, Bonanza, Andy Griffith, Sanford and Son, Golden Girls, Fresh Prince and Bill Nye.

Edit: Also OG Star Trek, Stargate SG1, Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt, and I have a soft spot for Xena and Hercules.

 

[Staine]

Red Dwarf for me. They actually brought it too, there was even a movie released this year which I've yet to see but damn I loved that show.

 

[Terror-Incognito]

I saw Teilight Zone alrrady mentioned, which us one if my faves, but also Tales from the Crypt and Tales from the Dark Side are great too. They all have interesting takes on the creepy/weird anthology genre.

 

[Maze]

Golden Girls, Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, Mortal Kombat: Conquest.

 

[Winterfire]

M*A*S*H hands down my favorite

 

[RedRose]

Little house in the prairie

[Wuthers]

Seconding MASH.

 

[Bubbly Boy Buns]

M*A*S*H of course

 

[SkeletonQueen]

Bonanza

 

[loislanekent01]

Babylon 5

 

[lightsenshi]

The original Battlestar Galactica. Ah, the days of ray guns and spaceships.

 

[Cantarella]

Monty Python's Flying Circus of Fawlty Towers if I'm feeling naughty.

I Love Lucy if I want something a little cleaner but also funny.

 

[True Grave]

Kolchak: The Night Stalker, The Rockford Files, 21 Jump Street, and Walker, Texas Ranger are all classics.

 

[Jasmine T]

Watched a few episodes of Dukes of Hazzard, Sex & the City, Simpsons, and probably my favorite ... the X-Files
