To those mentioning the new Cosmos series, did you ever see the original Carl Satan series? Utterly brilliant (if a little dated with the special effects), and was basically the core of my first year astronomy course.
We watch a lot of the dramas too. We like shows they actually put some effort into with an good storyline. We've been known to watch many of the crime, rescue, and medical dramas, but good documentaries tend to be our favorites.
Some others we like are The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Falling Skies, Vikings, Helix, The Strain, and we loved what they did with Battlestar Galactica. We've also been fans of the Star Trek shows since we were kids.
I remember the Rockford Files, St. Elsewhere, Emergency, Columbo, Kojak, Space 1999, and so many others over the years. I'd like to see them redo Space 1999. Like they did Battlestar Galactica. I'd like to see what they might be able to do with it now, compared to what they were able to do back when we were kids.
Do you remember a show named The Land of the Lost? I liked the general storyline, but that show needed some serious help in the special effects department. lol
I really need to finish watching Breaking Bad. I got about half way through the first series, was enjoying it, got distracted by something and haven't watched it since. I think the second series was starting when I was watching it so lots to catch up on.
I do seem to do that with TV series. I did the same with 24, watched a few, and possibly watched one episode of Lost.
I was about four when it started and don't remember much other than the lead bad guy, Zelda, had a wicked cackle. Scared the crap out of me as a little 'un.
There were robotic ball characters that moved by rolling around and their evil counter parts were robotic cubes that got jettisoned from space craft, landed and I have no idea how they got around. Presumably they waited to be kicked
into the right place by a passing miscreant
Nope, never saw it, but if it was half as good as the new one, then it must've been brilliant.
Apart from the ship of the imagination pointlessness, the rest was very nicely done. The animated bits were nicely done and a lot of them introduced me to concepts and discoverers I'd not heard of before. Things like the lead poisoning debacle I knew bits about, but things like how infrared was discovered and so on. Really enjoyed it.
I also liked the fact it stuck two fingers (or one...being American) up to the creationist stuff on more than one occasion.
